Use

This query enables you to analyze the distribution of purchasing activities per purchasing group in terms of the quantities of goods ordered. For example, you can compare your purchasing groups by asking questions such as the following: "How much material has been ordered by a certain purchasing group?" "How frequently are goods ordered from vendor Miller Corp.?" "Does this purchasing group often enter into longer-term supply relationships on the basis of contracts or scheduling agreements, or does it usually procure materials on the basis of discrete purchase orders?" "Are RFQs generally sent out before purchase orders are issued or outline purchase agreements are set up?"
