You can therefore focus on the most important tasks, enabling faster decisions and immediate action. The cards show you the most important information ranked according to relevance. For example, on the Monitor Purchase Contracts card, you can see the consumption and expiry date per contract. You can then decide to change a contract by selecting it. You can use the global filter to filter the entire Procurement Overview by supplier or material group, for example. You then see all urgent contracts, purchase requisitions, or spend information according to the specified filter criteria. For list cards, selecting the header of a card brings you to the app itself, while selecting an item brings you to more detailed item information. For graphical or analytical cards, selecting the card brings you to more detailed analytical information. To use the Procurement Overview, you require the Business Catalog Role SAP_BCR_MM_PRC_OVP_PC assigned to your user.

The user-friendly experience makes viewing data, filtering data and acting upon it simple, faster and smarter.
