Features

The purchasing data is extracted from the ERP system to the Business Warehouse and made available there for further evaluation of the procurement process.

It allows you to perform analysis of procurement data with regard to purchase orders, goods receipts, and incoming invoices, at aggregated level as well as at detail level. You can use it to execute general strategic reports like global spend analyses and to evaluate variations between invoice, goods receipt and purchase order values, quantities and dates, or for in-depth analysis of your purchasing data at purchase order item and scheduling level.

You can also analyze contract usage and account assignments of your purchase orders, for cost center purchase overviews for example.
