BW Scenario: Purchasing Analysis

This scenario enables you to analyze purchasing data from SAP R/3.

InfoCubes

  • Purchasing Data (technical name: 0PUR _C01)
  • Vendor Evaluation (technical name: 0PUR_C02)
  • Purchasing Groups (technical name: 0PUR_C04)

Key Points

  • Analysis of material groups, vendors, and materials. This data enables you to find answers to the following questions, for example:
     - Which materials and how much of each material have been ordered from a certain vendor?
     - How many PO items are there for a certain material group?
  • Display of scores from the vendor evaluation facility within Purchasing. On the basis of this data, you can compare your vendors with each other and also check whether a certain vendor delivers a material punctually and in the desired quantity for example. Since the scores from the previous period are available in addition to the current score, you can also check whether your vendors' performance is improving or deteriorating.
  • Analysis of the purchasing activities of your purchasing (buyer) groups. Data on effective order values, invoiced amounts, and number of deliveries is available to you for this purpose. Furthermore, you can obtain an overview of how many documents, document items, and (if applicable) document schedule lines have been created by the purchasing group.
