Purchase by Vendor Report

A report in Zoho Inventory summarising the total value and volume of purchases from each vendor over a period, used to track vendor spend and negotiate terms.

What Is the Purchase by Vendor Report?

The Purchase by Vendor Report in Zoho Inventory shows the total value of goods purchased from each vendor over a selected time period. It breaks down spend by vendor and can be further filtered by item or date range.

Strategic Use

This report is valuable for vendor performance reviews and annual contract negotiations. Knowing your total spend with a vendor gives you leverage to negotiate better pricing, payment terms, or service levels. It also identifies vendor concentration risk if a single supplier represents too large a share of your spend.

Accounts Payable Perspective

Combined with outstanding vendor bill data from Zoho Books, the purchase by vendor report helps your finance team forecast cash outflows and manage working capital by anticipating payment obligations to key vendors.
