Grouping suppliers in local countries to report consolidated procurement spend

[Karen_En]

We want to group the local suppliers of an international company created in different company codes/purchasing org together to report consolidated spend.  Is there an equivalent to vendor hierarchies in the Cloud 2005 version?  Or is vendor classification possible that can be used for reporting in analytics? 

Thanks

Hello karen_e,

If I am not wrong you are looking for business partner hierarchy as below;

Currently both supplier and customer hierarchy is not available S4HC cloud, hence you can raise a new feature request for this.

Best Regards,

Hi Ramesh - we came up with a workaround to use the Contact area of the Business Partner, we created a new contact function called "Parent Company" and used that to link to a new Contact Person role record for the parent BP. We couldn't use the real customer or supplier BP but linked the number in the Contact Person details to use for reporting. We can now report by Contact Person and find all the related business partners for customers and suppliers. Not ideal but worked for our reporting requirements. Hope that helped.

Thanks

Karen

karen_e : Were you able to get that functionality? If not, how were you able to manage a work around for this.

Could you please advise?

Thanks

Ramesh
