The Problem โ No Single Source of Truth for Savings
Almost in every organization there is a mismatch in procurement savings and the savings captured by the Finance department. But why does this discrepancy exists? What is the origin for this conflict of data?
Creating a single version of savings truth between Procurement and Finance remains elusive for most. How will savings be calculated and allocated? What constitutes actual, realized savings? How are cost reductions and cost avoidance treated? How will budgets be impacted? And perhaps most importantly, what is the process for Finance to sign-off on Procurementโs savings contributions?
