The Expenditure by Supplier report gives you a pie chart of your expenditure broken down by supplier.  This report is useful for figuring out which suppliers you spend the most on.

Running the Report

You can access it by going to Tools & Reports > Expenditure Reports > Expenditure by Supplier, once here you will need to specify: Start Date: This is the date you want to include invoices from.  End Date: This is the date you want invoices up until Receipts Received / Receipts Paid: You will need to choose if you would like to include receipts that was raised within your time frame, or paid within your time frame.

Viewing the Report

Once you have run the report you will get a pie chart showing the total amount spent on suppliers broken down into segments, each segment represents a supplier and the size of the segment is representative to how much money was spent on them.  This gives you a good idea right away of your biggest suppliers.  One thing to note here is that running this report based on Receipts Received will give you figures exclusive of VAT.  To get an inclusive VAT figure, you can run the report based on Receipts Paid.  You can choose to Print This Report, which will give you a printable copy of the pie chart, or you can choose Download To CSV, which will show you in a spreadsheet format the break down of amounts.
