Hi All,
mu understanding is that E-Sourcing comes with its own reporting capability, I have a couple of questions relating to this that hopefully someone can answer.
1. Where does the data for the reports come from? i.e. does it pick up spend analysis from SRM and ERP?
2. Can the data from E-Sourcing be extracted to BW so that all data from SRM, E-Sourcing and ERP is in one place?
Thanks
Chris
Hi Chris
Answers to your questions
1) Operational data from Backend systems (SRM or ERP or non-SAP backend) is required to run some of the reports in Spend Analysis in SAP E-Sourcing, the consulting note 111567 has more details on what types of operational/transactional data is available in the standard set of interfaces delivered vide the consulting note, the consulting note is availed only if you have the on-premise or hosted licenses. On its own SAP E-Sourcing can provide you reports that require only data from within its tables (specifically for Projects, RFx and Contracts(limted to MSA and legal contracts)
Please look into your RG guide me for a standard list of reports available in SAP E-Sourcing 5., i'd be able to assist you
But for spend analysis, these are some of the reports
-Cumulative Spend by Commodity
- Spend by Commodity overtime
the list is huge......
2) Yes the data can be extracted from SAP E-Sourcing in excel, CSV and can be pushed to BW to ensure that Reports niche to the organization are developed if not covered by standard procurement reports in BW.
Hope this answer was useful
call me for anymore clarifications required

Reports are set at each module level and across all modules in esourcing.
Esourcing provides custom report capability and building interfaces from/to other external systems.
All out of the box reports go against esourcing tables.
