Use this article to understand the Vendor Spend drill-down report in the Finance Overview page family.
Vendor Spend helps you review spend for a selected vendor and understand which accounts, cost centers, cost pools, or monthly trends are contributing to the result. Use it when a vendor is a major spend driver or when vendor spend needs investigation during budget, forecast, or monthly variance review.
