Procurement spend dataset: 15-invoice CSV preview
Download 15 invented procurement invoices and practise a PO by contract control check in Excel or Power BI. No email needed.
What the file contains
Fifteen rows selected from the Starter Kit's fictional 150-invoice ledger. It has 16 columns, including invoice number, invented supplier, category, quantity, unit price, amount in NGN, PO and contract flags, department and location. The values total NGN 26,149,000. Every supplier and transaction is invented.
These rows were selected to show all four PO and contract combinations. They are not statistically representative of the full ledger. Do not compare percentages from this preview with the full kit's expected values.
A check you can reproduce
| PO and contract status | Invoices | Spend (NGN) |
|---|---|---|
| PO and contract | 8 | 15,849,000 |
| PO, no contract | 2 | 2,620,000 |
| Contract, no PO | 4 | 1,430,000 |
| Neither | 1 | 6,250,000 |
| Total | 15 | 26,149,000 |
Import the CSV as one invoice per row. Sum Amount_NGN, then group by POCompliant and ContractedSupplier. The four groups should reconcile to NGN 26,149,000. Read the controls guide for the formula and its limits, or the Excel guide for clean-table checks.
Use and limits
You may use this free excerpt for personal learning and share the link to this page. Label any work based on it as fictional practice. The CSV does not contain a real organisation's transactions, and it cannot support a real savings or compliance claim.
