Dashboard charts
Top Suppliers
Chart from the Purchase Receipt Trends report ranking suppliers by received value.
In detail
This chart runs the Purchase Receipt Trends report grouped by supplier for the fiscal year and ranks suppliers by the value of goods received. It answers who you buy most from. Because it reads Purchase Receipts, a supplier billed only through Purchase Invoices without a receipt, such as a landlord or a consultant, does not appear; use the Purchase Book for the full picture. The ranking is before VAT and ignores services, so it is a goods supplier view.
Formula
Each bar = Sum of Purchase Receipt net total per supplier, from the Purchase Receipt Trends report, fiscal year to date
