Hidden costs are additional price amounts that can be added to purchase orders and invoices, without having those amounts reflected on the document itself. Hidden costs are not shared with the supplier in any way, but do affect budgets and spend reports.

An automatically generated system report is also available to summarize how many hidden costs have been added to documents, and to which documents these costs were added. To access the hidden cost report:

1. Click on “Reports” from the toolbar on the left
2. Select “View Reports”
3. Click on the “System Reports” tab, and select the applicable hidden cost report
