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 September 11, 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 four indicators
An immediate read on your commitments.
- Spend — the total of processed purchase invoices dated since 1 January, compared with the same period last year. This is a year-to-date figure: unlike the charts, it does not follow the 6, 12 or 24-month window you pick.
- 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.
Realised exchange difference
What rate moves cost you, or earned you, on purchases in foreign currency.
The indicator adds up, over every payment recorded since 1 January, the difference between the amount converted at the rate of the day you paid and the same amount converted at the rate kept when the invoice was recorded. Like “Spend”, it is an annual indicator: it does not follow the 6, 12 or 24-month window picked for the charts. A negative total means the currency appreciated between recording and payment: you paid out more than the invoice suggested. Supplier credit notes are left out of the calculation: they are applied at the invoice rate and therefore produce none.
Note
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.
