Easy to pick up, built to get you the next job
No coding background needed, and you write code with Claude as you go.
Every section below turns into something a hiring manager recognises, not just notes.
Consolidate Spend Data from Every Source You Actually Have
- Pull PO lines from Oracle EBS, Oracle Fusion, SAP, and shadow P-card spreadsheets into a single reconciled spend mart, using plain-English prompts to Claude Code rather than hand-written scripts.
- Map mismatched column names across systems automatically, including German SAP field names like Menge and Nettowert, so your unified file is consistent from day one.
- Validate row counts and total spend against each source system so Finance cannot reject your numbers.
- This is the foundational skill hiring managers list when they post senior category analyst and spend analytics roles.
Classify, Enrich, and Profile Spend Like a Data-Savvy Category Manager
- Join raw PO data to a supplier master and business-unit hierarchy to add parent companies, regions, and organisational roll-ups that turn a flat file into a proper spend cube.
- Generate a data-quality profile that shows completeness by column, spend by source, and top suppliers before any stakeholder sees a number.
- No prior coding experience needed: every step is a prompt you type, and Claude Code writes and runs the script for you.
Detect Leakage and Spot the Spend That Should Not Be There
- Identify tail spend, off-contract purchasing, and duplicate supplier records hidden inside the consolidated mart.
- Flag policy violations and category leakage using structured prompts, producing findings a CPO or category director can act on immediately.
- These are exactly the outputs a hiring manager expects from a candidate who lists spend analytics on their CV.
Automate Monthly Reporting So It Runs in Hours, Not Weeks
- Build a Claude Code skills file that stores your column mappings, validation rules, and enrichment logic so next month's consolidation runs from a single instruction.
- Produce a repeatable, auditable workflow you can hand to a colleague or demonstrate in an interview as a live working artefact.
- Walk away with a portfolio of real procurement outputs, not slides about theory.
Finish this course and you can do all of this, no prior background required:
- You will be able to consolidate PO data from Oracle EBS, Oracle Fusion, SAP, and P-card spreadsheets into a single reconciled spend mart, the core deliverable every spend analytics role requires.
- You will be able to auto-map mismatched column schemas across source systems using Claude Code prompts, eliminating the manual ETL work that used to take a data-engineering team weeks.
- You will be able to validate spend totals and row counts against source systems so your numbers survive Finance scrutiny, a non-negotiable in any category management or procurement operations role.
- You will be able to enrich raw PO data with supplier master attributes and organisational hierarchies, producing the roll-up views category directors and CPOs use for sourcing decisions.
- You will be able to detect tail spend, off-contract leakage, and duplicate supplier records inside a consolidated spend cube, a skill that directly supports supplier rationalisation and savings delive
- You will be able to build a Claude Code skills file that re-runs the entire consolidation and reporting workflow monthly from a single instruction, cutting reporting cycle time from weeks to hours and

Built by practitioners, not influencers
Every agent, skill file, and dataset is drawn from 25+ years and 50+ Oracle ERP implementations across pharma, manufacturing, semiconductor, and distribution.
Kept current with the stack
Claude Code, skills, and MCP move fast. Your licence includes every system update for as long as you're subscribed. Your system gets better, not obsolete.
Your spend data lives in at least three systems, Oracle EBS, SAP, Fusion, plus a handful of buyer spreadsheets, and the Finance roll-up arrives weeks late with columns that never match. You know the analysis your category managers need: supplier rationalisation, contract compliance, tail-spend exposure. But without a single trusted spend view nobody agrees on the numbers, so the conversation never moves past arguing about the data. Meanwhile, job postings for spend analytics roles ask for hands-on experience with automation and data consolidation, and your current process is still a monthly copy-paste marathon that gives you no time to build those skills.
What you'll be able to do, module by module
Every module leaves you able to build and run something real. Here is the syllabus, in the order you work through it.

Most procurement candidates say they are comfortable with spend analytics. You will be the rare one who can open a terminal, point Claude Code at four ERP exports, and produce a reconciled, enriched spend mart with a reusable automation workflow attached. That combination of domain knowledge and hands-on delivery capability is what separates the shortlisted candidate from the rest of the pile.

Open the course and follow the recipe
Every lesson is a hands-on recipe with a clear pain point, a set of plain-English Claude Code prompts you can copy, and a defined output. You do not need to know Python or any scripting language. You type a prompt, Claude Code writes and runs the script, and you review the result.
Run your first spend consolidation and keep the artefact
By the end of the opening lesson you have loaded PO lines from four source systems, reconciled them to source totals, enriched them with a supplier master, and saved a unified spend mart you can open in Excel or use in every subsequent lesson. That file is yours to keep and show in your next interview.
Building a Spend Mart from Three ERPs and a Buyer Spreadsheet
Survey the source files
You open Claude Code and ask it to read your four source exports: 300 rows from Oracle EBS, 200 from Oracle Fusion, 150 from SAP, and 50 rows of P-card shadow spend. Claude returns a side-by-side comparison of column names, row counts, and data types, showing immediately that SAP uses German field names (Menge for quantity, Nettowert for line amount) while EBS uses AMOUNT and VENDOR_NAME.
Map fields to a common schema
You prompt Claude to propose a unified target schema with 13 standard columns: source_system, po_number, po_line, supplier_id, supplier_name, category, line_amount, and so on. Claude produces a Python mapping dictionary. You spot that it has mapped Menge to line_amount instead of quantity and correct it in one follow-up prompt. Claude saves the corrected mapping as column_mapping.py.
Create and reconcile the unified spend mart
Claude writes and runs a script that applies the mapping, tags each row with its source system, coerces dates and amounts to the right types, concatenates all four files, and saves unified_spend_mart.csv. You then ask for a reconciliation table: row count and total spend per source versus the mart. The mart shows 695 rows instead of 700. Claude identifies five SAP rows that were dropped because of a formatting mismatch in the po_number field and fixes it.
Enrich with supplier master and business-unit hierarchy
You ask Claude to left-join the mart to suppliers.csv on supplier_id, adding parent company, country, and DUNS number, then join to business_units.csv to add region and division. Claude reports that 12 rows had no supplier match due to leading zeros in the SAP supplier ID. One further prompt strips the zeros from both files and the match rate improves. The enriched mart now has 15 columns and is ready for category analysis.
Save the workflow as a skills file for next month
You ask Claude to create .claude/skills.md with a section titled Spend Consolidation Workflow, capturing the source file paths, column mapping, enrichment joins, and reconciliation rules. Next month you open Claude Code and type Run the spend consolidation workflow. Claude reads the skills file and executes every step without further explanation, cutting what used to be a two-week manual process to under an hour.
The toolkit you'll build and run in this program

Straight answers before you subscribe
Do I need to know how to code or use a terminal?
No. Every step in the course is driven by plain-English prompts you type into Claude Code. Claude writes and runs the scripts for you. The course is designed from lesson one for procurement professionals with no coding or technical background, and the hands-on recipe format means you are producing real outputs from the very first session.
Will this work with my organisation's data, not just the demonstration datasets?
Yes. The skills file you build during the course stores your specific column mappings, source file paths, and validation rules. Once you have completed the consolidation recipe with the provided datasets, you adapt the prompts to point at your own ERP exports. The workflow is system-agnostic: if your data is in a CSV or spreadsheet, Claude Code can work with it.
What if I get stuck or my output looks different from the examples?
The course materials explicitly flag that your output will vary depending on your data files and to focus on understanding the implementation rather than matching example output exactly. Daily live sessions and mentor review are part of the programme, so you can bring a specific problem and get it resolved. You are not working through this alone.
How does the course stay up to date as Claude Code changes?
The curriculum is updated as the tools evolve. As a subscriber you receive access to updated lessons and materials without paying again. The hands-on recipe format means practical steps are refreshed to reflect the current behaviour of Claude Code rather than leaving you following outdated instructions.
What is the refund policy, and can I use what I build commercially?
There is a 14-day refund policy: if the course is not right for you within the first 14 days, you can request a full refund. The artefacts you build during the course, including your spend mart, skills file, and column-mapping scripts, are yours to use in your day job. Check the licence terms on enrolment for the full detail on commercial use.
