Add Financial System Code to the Vendor Dimension of Alma Analytics in the Funds Expenditure SA
The Financial System Code field is often the matchpoint between Alma and external payments systems. Being able to search or query on this would help avoid creating duplicate vendors, especially as vendor names can change so much over time, that a vendor name search will not return results. Having this reportable in Alma Analytics would be more beneficial than in the Alma Advanced Search, as it could also help to de-duplicate existing instances of having more than one vendor record for the same vendor.

"Vendor / Financial Sys. Code" in Alma maps to "Vendor / ERP Number" in Analytics.
However, we prefer to keep data in at Vendor Account level ("Vendor Account / Financial Sys. Account code") which does not appear in Analytics.
Please update Analytics Funds Expenditure SA to include "Vendor Account / Financial Sys. Account code".
