SAP Analytics for Procurement

SAP ANALYTICS
How Analytics for procurement can help you reduce expense and
proactively manage supplier risk

Executive Summary

Your procurement and supply chain businesses are perhaps hounding you for continuous supplier and
spend intelligence – reports that will help drive supplier selection decisions, track performance of
suppliers and manage spend to be within budget. However, your supplier data requires de-duplication,
normalization and enrichment – enrichment with various sources of information such as credit and risk,
debarred businesses, minority owned, and corporate ownership information to help during critical
supplier discussions and negotiations. IT no longer needs to drown from these requests and spend
weeks or even months responding to this request. With SAP‟s solutions, and partnerships with 3rd
party data providers, you can empower your procurement, finance and supply chain business users.

What Do Data Collection Do?

Definition
• The purpose of Data Collection is to ensure a complete and accurate aggregation of spend data from multiple sources on
a periodic basis.
• During the Data Collection phase, master and transaction files are received from multiple sources and reviewed for
accuracy, technical validity and content integrity. Sources are then approved for further processing or rejected.

 Lack of integration into external data sources collect raw information
 Monitor progress towards meeting timelines

Result: Organizations are unable to collect their data in a Result: Organizations can increase accuracy, timeliness and
timely and automated fashion. automation decreasing risk of bad data and TCO


What Do Supplier Data Standardization and Enrichment Do?

Definition
• Supplier standardization validates suppliers and removes duplicates. It creates linkages between supplier corporate
parents and their children
• Supplier enrichment enhances supplier data with information about a supplier‟s diversity status (e.g. Minority-owned,
Women-owned, Veteran-owned), or credit/financial risk, etc.

 Lack of standard process for entering supplier names into  Standard view of all suppliers for goods and services
transaction systems  Leverage total purchases to drive cost savings and
 Lack of supplier parent/child relationships among suppliers rationalize suppliers
 Lack of supplier specific business and risk data  Monitor progress towards meeting Diversity Supplier
initiatives
 Identify suppliers who may be a risk to the supply chain
due to financial instability

Result: Organizations are unable to analyze their spend by Result: Organizations can increase leverage opportunities by
supplier, and cannot leverage total spend normalizing business entities and improve decision-making

What Is Spend Data Classification?

Definition
• Spend Data Classification is the process of assigning procurement spend purchases to a standard structure such as
UNSPSC, the SAP taxonomy, or a custom structure

• Procurement, Supply Chain and Financial transaction • Standard Standard view of all goods and services
systems may not have a standard classification purchased across the enterprise
structure across the enterprise for assigning goods • Leverage total spend to drive cost savings, monitor
and services to a category compliance, and rationalize suppliers
• Users may incorrectly classify data at the point of
entry in the transaction system

Result: Since purchases are not classified to a Result: Organizations can now increase visibility to both
single, standard enterprise-wide structure, procurement direct and indirect spend with a consistent category
organizations cannot analyze their total category spend scheme.

Methods of Spend Classification

Item Description ‘Cataloging‟ Industry ‘Vendor Coding’
(SIC, NAICS, UNSPSC)

 Not all items have valid descriptions  Not organized for sourcing – resource based
 Assumes repetitive similarity in description  Too generalized for in-depth sourcing
 Forces micro vs. strategic focus  Assumes a supplier sells one thing

Accounting SAP Method

 Limited depth  Focuses on what was purchased by analyzing
 Frequently misapplied due to budgets multiple variables on the transaction
 Indicates why not what was purchased  Improves leverage with a more complete and
accurate understanding of spend
 Supports strategic sourcing

Global RFx and Category Management strategy.
 Improved visibility to item level detail segmented by commodity
from each region leading to greater procurement savings.
 An enabler to achieve our already committed world-class
savings targets. We concluded that it would be mandatory to
have tools such as Spend Analytics to support this already
committed savings goal. Incrementally, we assumed a
conservative 0.1% savings on total direct spend.
 Further savings from cycle time reduction
– Additional sourcing events can be held each year
