Tail-end spend refers to ad hoc spending and uncategorised supplier purchases that are low in volume, frequency or value. It is also defined as the 20% of non-core transactions that are left unmanaged. Tail-end spend usually accumulates through low-value transactions companies engage in with their suppliers, though they do not occur frequently. The most common definition for tail-end spend is the 80/20 rule, where tail-end spend is typically defined as 80% of the company's transactions that only account for around 20% of the actual total company spend.
