Analytics

Purchase analytics

The mirror image of sales, on the spending side: what you committed, what you settled, what is left to pay and to whom.

Updated on August 14, 2026

Where the figures come from

The page re-reads your purchase invoices and the payments recorded against them. An invoice that has been scanned but not yet checked counts under “to review” without weighing on your spend: only processed invoices feed the committed amounts. Due dates come from what you entered or from what the scan recognised.

Note

The Purchases module is open to every company: unlike sales, this page does not depend on the Invoicing module.

The four indicators

An immediate read on your commitments.

  • Spend — the total committed over the period, compared with the same period last year.
  • To pay — invoices received and validated whose payment has not been recorded yet.
  • Overdue — the share of those past their due date: the risk of a penalty or a supplier chase.
  • To review — invoices that entered the flow but have not been checked by a human yet.

The two charts

Telling the moment of commitment apart from the moment of payment.

  • Committed vs paid

    Month by month, invoices received against payments made. A lasting gap means you consume cash later than you commit it — or the other way round.

  • Cumulative spend

    The curve of spend committed since the start of the period, to place your consumption against an annual budget.

Breakdowns

Where the money goes, and the state of your supplier debt.

  • Main suppliers — ranked by spend over the period, each with its share. The basis for a renegotiation.
  • Status breakdown — the share of paid, to pay and overdue in the total committed.

Reading the page usefully

A growing “to review” pile is the first sign of a processing backlog, not of a financial problem: invoices stack up before validation and blur your view of real spend. Clear that queue first, then read the other indicators.

Tip

For a breakdown by nature of expense, open the chart of accounts analysis instead: it splits the same invoices by allocation account.
