Anomaly Detection: General Information

By using the anomaly detection functionality in Acumatica ERP, supply chain managers can detect anomalies in a particular numeric column of a generic inquiry form. For example, they can quickly find records whose total amounts are too large or too small compared to these amounts in other listed records. The functionality can help supply chain managers to monitor key data values and correct any data entry errors, thus preventing ineffective business decisions based on incorrect data. In addition, sales managers and purchase managers can use anomaly detection to recognize deviations in data based on the system's analysis of abnormal figures in amounts, totals, costs, and other values.
