SAP-BO SPM VS Ariba Spend Analysis

Hi friends,
I have a question here..
Can someone help me to explain, what is the difference between SAP-BO SPM and Ariba Spend Analysis?
Thank you very much.
Theresa

Hi Syed,
I agree with Waman comments and would like to add few more points to it.
As you may already know, IT systems are divided into OLTP and OLAP. SAP ERP falls into OLTP which is live. and BI falls into OLAP which is historical.
Though you are not using COPA for forecasting and planning purposed I don't think you can completely eliminate it.
More over as as Waman said, You can't use COPA only for reporting purposed without posting to it first.
Hope it explains.
Regards,
Sudhakar*

  • Is spend analysis part of bi content? or is it a separately sold product?

    If I have the bi license do I need to separately buy spend analysis?

    Ave

    Hi
    Spend Performance Management (formerly known as Spend Analytics) is a seperately licensed product. It is not part of BW. ALthough it does sit on top of BW. For architecture pls refer to the blog post: /people/rajesh.prabhu/blog/2010/07/20/spend-performance-management-architecture
    SPM has its own forum at: SAP Spend Performance Management

  • BW Report to display whole spend analysis

    Hello Experts - My client wants to display and analyze whole spend analysis. Request is to include invoices booked on Purchase Orders and invoices directly booked on Cost centers. I know we can get the Purchase order invoice information from the cube 0PUR_C01 cube and I am not sure how to get the invoice information directly booked in FI. Are there any standard business content objects available. Appreciate your help.

  • Spend Analysis for Commodity Code in ECC6

    Hi,
    I wonder if there is any way for spend analysis references to commodity code in SAP R3 as we are not using SAP SRM?
    If there is any option in ECC6 then;
    a) Which field/view maintained for Commodity code at Material Master?
    b) Which field maintained for Commodity code at /PO/Contract/RFQ/Purchase Requisition (Header level or item level)?
    c) How spend analysis can be reported based on commodity code? (Standard report, Z custom report, BI report)
    Thanks,
    Shah.

    Hi,
    These are the reports available in ECC for Commodity wise reporting. Regarding once maintained in material master, how far these serve your purpose you can test.
    MC.3 This report will help you in getting the information on the inventory turn over ratio by Commodity.
    MC45 This report identifies the share of the usage value to the total usage. You can also see the report graphically for a selected material in detail screen.
    MCE5 This program will give you information on purchase value, invoice value during a selected period. However for these reports it is necessary to update the relevant LIS structure.
    MCEC This report can be used for Purchase budget requirement. However for this report to work, long term planning functionality should be put in use.

  • Spend analysis reports

    Hi Gurus,
    I need your help.
    Is there any way in Std SAP via which I can draw a report on spend analysis?
    ROH materials are classified into several material groups. Each material group is further divided into multiple layers of spend categories. If I want to pull up a report on a particular level of spend, what should I do?
    Thanks,
    Kumar

  • What is the difference between Category Mgmt and Spend Analysis?

    Hi Friends
    What is the difference between Category Mgmt and Spend Analysis?
    Regards
    Chinna Krishna

    Hi Chinna
    Here are my two cents on this questions
    1. Catagory Management : It pertains to all sourcing activities that a purchasing group does for a specific catagory of items ( say tyres, bearings, etc. in automobile industry scenario OR steel sheets, electric motor, etc. in consumer durables industry scenario) in order to meet companies strategic goals like cost, quality, delivery and new product introduction. It also involves the strategic sourcing piece for that category. Typically it can include following activities for a category which is being managed
    - Identifying current and future business & technical requirements
    - Constant vigilence and analysis of supply market for that category ( and also identifying new sources)
    - Lauching various projects within category focussed on cost reduction, quality improvement, delivery improvement. This may include some of activities like supplier analysis. RFx, Reverse auctions, contract negotiation, etc.
    - Monitoring the category specific supplier performance
    Category Management team typically consists of cross functional team and it is iterative process (continuous improvement).
    Category Management in covered to some extent in E-Sourcing application and its analysis is covered in Spend Analytics application. Fully blown category management is on road map of SAP but none of the current functionalities addresses it fully.
    2. Spend Analysis: This involves analysis of the spend at highest level of organization. To improve the data quality, it typically involves spend data standardization & enrichment, supplier normalization and spend categorization. Once you have clean data, one can slice and dice the data to gain insight into the spend and identify opportunities for launching the various initiatives focussed on cost, quality and delivery.
    SAP Spend Analytics application covers this spend analysis capability.
    Its a long answer and hope it helps you.

  • SRM Global Spend Analysis Report

    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
    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>

    Hi,
    Reporting solutions will work for other reporting tools also. MDM will provide accurate Master data.
    Need of PI?? - MDM accept and syndicate data in form of .xml, flat file (Refer reference guides). PI is helpful to for data transfer as well as monitoring capabilities are also good. I am not sure about BIZTalk's capability to integrate with system's you have in current lanscape. If it is there then you can utilise Biztalk also.

    Hi Santosh
    Yes, it is critical to get all the Spend related queries in an excutable state before you are able to launch the application.
    This seems to be some issue on the BW side, pls have your BW Basis administrator check it out. Maybe your BW server is not properly patched.
    I did a quick search on the term "CREATE_PARTITION-01" AND "CL_RSR_RRK0_ATTR_C " in Svc Market Place and foudn these three BW notes: 1489975, 1340340, 1412925. Pls see if they apply. Also feel free to do additional note searches for yourself.
    Once the BW issues are resolved the SPM queries shoudl work.
    Do write back and confirm what helped fix the problem.
