Detailing the purchase to pay process
Purchase to pay (P2P) is a term that refers to the process of buying a product/service all the way through to making the actual payment. It is commonly known as procure to pay and is the coordinated and integrated actions taken to meet a requirement to obtain products or services in a timely. compliant and cost-effective manner.
Purchase to pay solutions optimize the purchasing process, benefiting the organization through better financial controls and efficiency. This streamlined, integrated system saves costs and reduces risk. A typical P2P solution includes five steps for completion:
Catalogs
Catalogs from preferred suppliers are the first requirement in a P2P solution.
Purchase requisitions
The buyer sends a purchase requisition to the appropriate manager after selecting products from a catalog.
Purchase order workflow
A purchase order is generated once the manager approves the purchase requisition.
Invoicing
Invoicing is a critical component of P2P software as manual invoice processing can be laborious and time-consuming. Automated invoice processing saves time and money and includes a reconciliation feature that matches purchase orders to invoices.
Payment
Once an invoice is approved for payment, a file is produced in the company's accounts payable system—the approved invoice triggers a payment to the supplier by the end of the period for which the supplier has extended credit.
