The Savings dashboard provides procurement teams with a consolidated view of savings opportunities across all pipeline project data.

The Savings dashboard helps users analyze category performance, track potential and realized savings, and monitor project progress from opportunity identification to savings realization.

Components in the Savings dashboard

TitleTypeDescription
Filter byFilter

You can filter the data using the following filter types and sources:- Time: Supports predefined ranges (for example, Last month, Last year, This year, YTD) and custom date ranges.

Note: The time filter considers all pipeline projects whose savings start date and savings end date overlap with the selected date range.

  • Category: Multi-select drop-down list populated from the Spend category table.

Note: If you do not select a category in the Category filter, the dashboard displays all data associated with the root categories. If you select a category, the dashboard displays data for that category and its child categories. In both cases, this data is displayed in the Hard savings, Cost avoidance, and Savings by year bar graphs.

  • Business Unit: Multi-select drop-down list populated from the Business unit table.
  • Supplier: Multi-select drop-down populated from the 'Supplier' table.
  • Team member: Searchable multi-select drop-down list based on the spend category manager column in the Spend category table.

To apply a filter, select a filter type (for example, Supplier), and choose one or more filter values (such as Adobe Systems or Apple, Inc.), and then move the selected filter value from the Available list to the Applied list.
