Tasks

This role supplies information for the following areas:

·        Strategic Evaluations

This folder contains the Global Spend Analysis, Vendor Portfolio Management, Procurement Optimization, and Risk Analysis topics.

¡        Global Spend Analysis

Global Spend Analysis provides evaluations for consolidated procurement values. Consolidation of data occurs via a system-independent grouping of vendors and products or via standard categories like eCl@ss or UNSPSC. The data is taken from the connected FI system.

¡        Vendor Portfolio Management

The vendor portfolio management analyses support the strategic purchaser or category manager in determining an appropriate strategy for vendors in his area of responsibility. All vendors in a product category represent a vendor portfolio. The target is to find the best composition for this portfolio.

¡        Purchase Optimization

Purchase optimization contains the areas ABC Analysis for Products, Maverick Buying, Pareto Analysis for Purchase Order Volume, and Vendors with Minority Status. The ABC Analysis for Products includes representation of the distribution of purchase order value part as a Lorenz curve and a list of A, B, and C products. In the Maverick Buying report, the purchase order volume for product categories and products for which contracts exist is compared with the purchase order volume of product categories and products for which no contracts exist. This is done to identify instances of “Maverick Buying” (purchase orders without existing contracts). The pareto analysis is used to represent the distribution of purchase orders for specific purchase order classes. Where there is a large number of purchase orders with low purchase order value, savings might be possible by bundling purchase orders in the future. The Vendors with Minority Status report shows the purchase order volume that was procured from companies with minority status. This analysis helps companies to conform to the American legislation which stipulates that companies must place a certain percentage of orders with vendors that are owned by minorities or women.

¡        Risk Analysis

Risk analysis contains a report that lists the probability of insolvency and the credit worthiness of individual vendors together with the procurement volume. In this way, it is possible to identify vendors that pose a particularly high risk. In addition, the worldwide distribution of vendors is represented on a map. You can use this feature to determine whether your company is dependent on a particular continent or country.

·        Vendor evaluation

In Vendor Evaluation, aside from displaying the best and worst vendors, you can also display a vendor profile and vendor portfolio analysis for a selected vendor. Additionally, you can evaluate an individual vendor independently of product category and product.

·        Bid Invitations

For SAP Bidding Engine bid invitations, you can use the Analysis of Bid Invitations Web template for all Web reports that are available in the context of Bidding Engine reporting.

·        Contract Management

The Contract Management area provides evaluations for global and local outline agreements and lists all expiring contracts. Separate evaluations are provided for scheduling agreements and their releases.
