Procurement dashboard

The Procurement dashboard summarizes key purchase order data in six panes. It is designed to enable organizations to monitor how well their suppliers meet delivery commitments. Four of the panes relate to orders and two to deliveries. Each pane is linked to detailed reports.

The Procurement dashboard displays these metrics:
Order Information

The metric displays values for the selected quarter, and sparklines that represent values for the last six quarters. That is, for the current quarter and the five quarters prior to it.

The metric displays the number of orders and the order amount. It also displays the number of suppliers, item, purchase office and buyers. Canceled orders are not included in the order amount.

The metric displays values for the selected quarter, and sparklines that represent values for the last six quarters. That is, for the current quarter and the five quarters prior to it.

The metric displays the number of orders delivered and the number of order lines delivered. It also displays the number of lines undershipped, overshipped, and shipped complete, and the average lead time for each order. That is, the average time, in hours, that elapsed between creation of the order and the receipt of the purchased goods or services.

On-Time Delivery - Order Lines
A bar chart shows the percentages of order lines that were delivered early, on time and late.
You can filter the data with these options:
  • Actual vs. confirmed date
  • Actual vs. planned date
  • Confirmed vs. required date
Note: The on-time delivery percentages do not necessarily total 100% of all order lines because not all order lines have a promised or required delivery date specified.
