You can track spend per supplier when you configure budget items for Concur Invoice. This is useful information if you want to renegotiate better terms with a supplier or move to a different supplier who offers the same goods or services, but at a better price. In addition, a sudden increase in the spend amount to a supplier might warrant an investigation to check that no illicit spend has occurred.

You must configure this feature on the Budget Items tab and on the Budget Tracking Fields tab.

To configure budget to track spend per supplier:

1. On the Budget Tracking Fields tab, either add a new budget tracking field or click Budget Field Mapping and select an existing budget tracking field.
2. In the Invoice section, select Header Field as the Mapping Type and Supplier Remittance Address as the Mapping Value.
3. Click Save.
4. Click the Budget Items tab in Budget Configuration.
5. Add a new budget item or open an existing one. The Add Budget Item or Modify Budget Item window appears.
6. Click the Budget Tracking Fields (Optional) tab.
7. In the Value column, add the supplier code and address code (separated by a comma) and then click Save.
