Purchase Orders by Vendor Report

IT Asset Management (Cloud)

The Purchase Orders by Vendor report lists the total number and total value of purchase orders assigned to one or more vendors within a date range. A summary of the total number and value of unassigned purchase orders may also be generated. This report is available as both a visual chart and as a list. License practitioners may choose to run this report for a specific vendor to ensure license entitlements are available for any purchases that were manually created in IT Asset Management.
