Spend Reconciliation

Reconcile procurement spend against budgets and compliance targets.

Steps

1. Call spend_analysis with queryType "metrics" for total spend for period.
2. Call spend_analysis with queryType "trends" (period: "month") for MoM change.
3. Call spend_analysis with queryType "industries" for category breakdown. Flag categories with >15% MoM change as anomalies.
4. Call spend_analysis with queryType "topSuppliers" (limit: 20) for concentration analysis. Calculate top-3 %, top-5 %, top-10 % of total spend. Warn if top-3 > 40%.
5. Call spend_analysis with queryType "diversity" for diversity reconciliation. Compare against program targets.

Key Metrics

Metric	Healthy Range
Spend concentration (top 3)	< 40%
Budget variance by category	+/- 10%
Diversity spend %	Per program targets

Decision Points

• Category spend anomaly >15% MoM: investigate driver (which supplier, what POs).
• Concentration >40% with top 3: flag single-source risk.
• Diversity declining MoM: trigger diversity compliance audit.
• Budget overrun >10%: require explanation and CPO approval.

Output Format

• Spend overview (total, trend, change from prior period)
• Category breakdown with variance indicators
• Concentration analysis with risk flags
• Diversity reconciliation (actual vs. target, trend direction)
• Anomalies requiring investigation
• Recommended actions (prioritized)
