Web Template: Pareto Analysis of Purchase Order Volume 

Technical Name: 0TPL_PARETO_ANALYSIS

Use

This Web Template provides the basis for a Pareto analysis. The strategic purchaser can use this to display an overview of the distribution of purchase orders in his own company for specific value areas. If he finds that the majority of purchase orders were created with low purchase order values, this could indicate that there are optimization possibilities. It might make sense to group several purchase orders with small amounts together to form a large purchase order, thus obtaining a larger price discount at the vendor.

This Web Template is the first one to make use of the new BW pattern. The consumer pattern is provided. You can open the Web Template after selecting an evaluation period and a product category. First, the complete Pareto analysis view is displayed. You can branch to the following views of the query using a dropdown menu: Over time, according to purchasing organization, according to purchasing group, and according to product category. As standard, the value ranges purchase order value under 500, 500 to 1,000, 1,000 to 5,000, and 5,000 to 20,000 are provided in the relevant currency. You can define your own value ranges. (For more information, see the documentation on the associated query Pareto Analysis: Purchase Order Volume).
