SRM Global Spend Analysis Report

[Former Member]

Hi Team,

Does anyone have any prior experience creating SRM Global Spend Analysis Report in BI 7.0.

I couldnt find the data source in SRM for Global Spend report, but I have the Infoobjects and cube from BI Content. Can anyone provide a step by step instruction on how to create this report in BI. Do I need to create Custom Datasources?

I am using SRM 5.0 and BI 7.0 with support pack 10.

Thanks

Anita.

Hi Anita

Do you have solution manager ? Strongly suggest you to go through the solution manager documentation for Spend Analysis Config. It's not easy to describe configuring the special ledger etc.

Alternatively, you can download SRM40 spend analysis config guide - Http://service.sap.com/ibc-srm

The methodology of configuring Special ledger etc for spend analysis is almost same.

Best regards

Hi

I don't think you need to create custom datasource, as all the information is available in the system.

I have not tried this ever. Here are few details, which might help.

<b>Global Spend Analysis</b>

<u>Accurate spend information helps you to optimize your supply base and, by indicating potential for demand aggregation across business units, enables you to control your procurement cost and negotiate better contracts with your suppliers. Global Spend Analysis now uses mapping information provided by SAP Content Integrator. The category mapping functions of SAP Content Integrator allow you to map products and categories to a standard category hierarchy (or schema). This could be an internal customer-defined schema or an external one, such as eCl@ss or UN/SPSC. Grouped key mapping for partner data delivers information on identical suppliers, which appear under separate IDs in the procurement systems. Both kinds of key mapping information are made available to SAP BW. The consolidated InfoObject technology in SAP BW then enables unified reporting across diverse master data entities in a heterogeneous system landscape, based on the mapping information delivered by the SAP Content Integrator. For mySAP SRM 3.0, the data extraction tools of MDM, which feed the master data into SAP Content Integrator, only support SAP R/3 systems. Therefore, the global spend scenario in combination with SAP Content Integrator only provides an out-of-the-box solution for mySAP SRM’s classic scenario.</u>
