Your purchase orders already show tomorrow's spend
Invoices tell you what you have spent. Purchase orders tell you what you are about to spend, but that information is often scattered across systems and rarely reported.
Price differences between the order and the invoice, retrospective orders raised after the invoice, and spend with no order at all quietly erode savings and make forecasts less reliable.
Purchase Order Analytics in DataKITE
Open commitments
Orders placed but not yet invoiced, by supplier, category and site, so Finance can see future liabilities.
Order-to-invoice variance
Price, quantity and value differences between what was ordered and what was invoiced.
Process compliance
Retrospective orders, split orders and orders raised after the invoice date.
No-PO spend
Invoices with no purchase order, grouped by supplier and category so you can bring them into process.
Same item, different price
Identical items bought at different prices across suppliers and sites.
Order backlog
Open orders by expected delivery date, to support supply chain planning.
