Purchase Analysis (PA)

Flexible Grouping

It enables you to analyse purchases by product, supplier, date, and other user-specified criteria, giving you a clearer picture of your procurement trends and supplier relationships. The structure and grouping of the information is user-definable, allowing you to view purchasing data in the format most relevant to your business.

Better Buying Decisions

Purchase Analysis helps identify which suppliers you buy from most often, what products are being purchased in what quantities, and how these patterns change over time. This insight allows you to make better-informed decisions about stock ordering, pricing negotiations, and supplier performance.

Consistent Historical Reporting

Like Sales Analysis, Purchase Analysis data is historical and not updated or altered by subsequent transactions, providing a reliable and consistent base for reporting. You can build up a long-term picture of purchasing activity, enabling meaningful comparisons and trend analysis across different time periods.

Drill-down Capability

With built-in drill-down functionality, Purchase Analysis makes it easy to investigate the detail behind the summary figures. You can quickly access original purchase orders and related transactions, streamlining the investigation process and reducing time spent locating source documents.

Improve Purchasing Control

Purchase Analysis helps businesses improve purchasing control, reduce costs, and ensure that stock is available when and where it is needed.
