xSuite Prediction Server
The xSuite Prediction Server is an AI component based on neural networks. The xSuite Prediction Server can be used to predict data for individual invoices (e.g. account-assignment data and responsible persons) as well as expected totals (number, average amount and total invoice amount per vendor) for upcoming months.
For this purpose, historical invoice data is extracted from the SAP system and used as a training set for the prediction models of the xSuite Prediction Server.
The xSuite Prediction Server is an external component that is not part of the xSuite Cube Business Solutions and is currently in the testing phase.
The previous versions 5.2.5 and 5.2.6 already included the connection. For the current version, the connection of the xSuite Prediction Server has been extended by the following functionalities:
Authentication via OAuth
The xSuite Prediction Server provides authentication per client via standard authentication (Basic Authentication) or via OAuth (with Access Token).
The xSuite Business Solutions have previously only supported Basic Authentication. As of the current version, OAuth is also supported.
To enable this feature, it must first be set up on the Prediction Server.
In the SAP system, an additional RFC destination KERAS_<MANDANT>_OAUTH must be set up using transaction SM59 with the following settings:
Tab | Field | Value |

Extension of the report /WMD/XF_IV_KERAS_EXPORT
Using the report /WMD/XF_IV_KERAS_EXPORT, data for 2 additional models can now be collected and sent to the xSuite Prediction Server.
The two models are used to propose an appover and the accountant (responsible for completion) for FI documents:
 |
If the models are enabled, a suggestion is requested when transferring a new record in xSuite Interface Invoice.
If the probability is greater than 85%, the proposed approver is transferred to the AGENT field (WF agent 1), provided this field was not already filled during import. The same applies to the accountant responsible for completion and the AGENT2 field (WF agent 2).
The following requirements must be met for this:
The xSuite Prediction Server is enabled for the associated record type.
The record type is of the type "FI".
The record-type parameter ROLE_WF_AGENT1 either has the value
AVAGor is not set.The record-type parameter ROLE_WF_AGENT2 either has the value
AAC1or is not set.
