Procurement Cockpit

This section contains answers to the most important questions about the Procurement Cockpit module.

What is the difference between offer price, strategic buy, and opportunity buy?

  • Strategic Buy is a data-driven target price calculated by the system based on FMV, transaction history, and market conditions. It represents a realistic purchase price.

  • Opportunity Buy is a more aggressive price recommendation for cases where you want to maximize savings. It is lower than the strategic buy price.

  • Offer Price is your own custom price that you set manually for a listing. If no offer price is set, the system uses the opportunity buy price for KPI calculations.

What does the ASA-100 indicator mean?

The green checkmark icon next to a supplier name indicates that the company holds ASA-100 accreditation (Aviation Suppliers Association Quality System Standard). This is an industry-recognized quality management certification for aviation parts distributors. Additionally, supplier names shown in green text indicate preferred suppliers — companies on your company’s approved supplier whitelist.

How do I export only my selected listings?

In the Worklist Listings tab, select the listings you want to include using the checkboxes, then click the Export selected parts button. This downloads a CSV file containing only the selected items. To export all listings in the package regardless of selection, use the Export full package button instead.

Note

Export functionality requires the procurement_individual authorization. Contact your company administrator if the export buttons are not visible.

What are the KPI differences between full package and selected parts?

The KPI display shows two rows: one for the full package and one for your current selection. This allows you to compare the overall package value against the subset you are considering. Key metrics include total asking price, offer price sum, FMV totals, ROI percentage, and hazard parts count. As you add or remove selections, the selected parts KPIs update in real time.

What does “valuable offer” mean?

A listing is flagged as a valuable offer (shown with a checkmark icon) when it meets certain quality and value criteria defined by the system’s evaluation parameters. These criteria consider factors such as FMV quality, market activity, scrap rate, and pricing relative to market levels. The classification helps you quickly identify listings that represent strong purchasing opportunities.

How do I delete multiple demands at once?

In the Demands section, the summary table at the top groups demands by reason, priority, and comment. Click the delete icon on a summary row to delete all demands in that group at once. A confirmation dialog shows the number of demands that will be removed. Individual demand deletion is not supported — demands are managed in groups.
