Critical to the effectiveness of Coupa is driving your spend to targeted items, contracts, and suppliers.

After you negotiate a savings rate for an item, contract, or supplier, you can indicate the savings percentage on each of these objects.

By inputting the savings for each of these items, your total savings will automatically be tracked through Coupa.\

Savings is computed by value of all purchase order lines multiplied by the savings % level associated with the item, contract or supplier of the order. The savings level for contracts and suppliers can be set on the Dashboard Controls page.
