BI Vision on Unleashed offers powerful tools for analysing supplier spend and performance.
View Supplier spend in their respective currencies
BI Vision displays results exclusively in your account's base currency. If you need to analyse data in the supplier's purchase currency or another transactional currency you can export the data from BI Vision and use external tools, such as Excel, to convert amounts into the desired currency value after export.
Alternatively, run a Purchase Enquiry, where transactional currencies can be displayed:
Navigate to Reports > Purchase > Purchase Order Enquiry.
Apply your desired date range and optional supplier filter.
Open the hidden columns panel and drag relevant currency-related fields (e.g., 'Sub Total' for original currency) into the grid.
This allows you to see PO values in either the original currency or your account’s base currency.
Identify Top Suppliers by Completed PO Value
To evaluate supplier performance based on completed Purchase Order (PO) value and analyze their contributions in detail, follow these steps:
From the main menu, navigate to Business Intelligence > Purchases.
Use the date selector in the top-right corner to filter data by your desired time range.
Select the 'Completed PO Value' tile.
Scroll to the 'Supplier ranked by Completed PO Value' dimension to see the top-performing suppliers by their completed order value.
Click on a supplier in the dimension chart or table to drill down further into their specific statistics and review underlying details.
Linking Supplier revenue and stock
To identify suppliers whose products significantly impact revenue:
First, use the BI Vision > Sales module to determine which products generate the highest revenue.
Switch to the BI Vision > Purchase module and filter data by these identified products to check which suppliers provided the most stock.
By combining insights from both the Purchase and Sales modules, you can optimize supplier relationships and inventory management more effectively.
