Introduction
Welcome to the Empress guide on making the most of our Buying Reports feature. In this guide, we’ll introduce you to the powerful suite of reporting tools that Empress provides to help you analyze and optimize your organization’s purchasing processes.
What are Buying Reports?
Buying Reports in Empress are specialized features that enable you to understand and review your purchasing data in a clear, visual format. These reports are divided into three key sections: a Filter toolbar, a data chart, and the underlying data. The Filter toolbar allows you to set specific criteria for the report, the Data chart visualizes your data, and the Underlying data shows a detailed breakdown. Any changes you make to the filter settings are automatically updated in the data chart, keeping your insights relevant and up-to-date.
