Spend
Spend is the total amount an organization pays to purchase goods or services over a defined period. In electronics procurement, component spend is typically calculated by multiplying the quantity purchased by the unit price. Analyzing spend by component, commodity, supplier, or manufacturer helps teams identify savings opportunities, prioritize negotiations, and understand purchasing patterns.
