Purchase Reports
Overview
Track what you bought, from whom, when, and how much you paid. Surfaces supplier reliability (on-time %), price drift (cost increases), and category spend (where the money goes).
Step-by-Step Guide
1
Purchase Summary
Reports → Purchases → Summary. Total spend per period; trend chart for last 12 months.
2
By Supplier
Drill into each supplier: total spend, GRN count, average lead time (PO date → GRN date), variance (ordered vs received).
3
By Category
Spend by product category. Useful for "which categories are eating most of my purchasing budget?" review.
4
Price History
Per product, see every purchase price ever paid. Spot supplier creep — when a vendor sneaks 5% increases every quarter.
Tips & Best Practices
Tip: Renegotiate with the top 3 suppliers by spend quarterly — even a 2% reduction on a TZS 5M/month spend is TZS 100k/month saved.
