Purchase-to-Pay (P2P) Automation
Purchase-to-Pay (P2P) Automation refers to the digitalization and streamlining of the entire purchasing process from requisition to payment. This end-to-end approach eliminates manual touchpoints while enhancing control, visibility, and efficiency throughout the transaction lifecycle.
Fully automated P2P solutions provide:
- Self-service requisitioning with guided buying
- Automated approval routing and policy enforcement
- Electronic PO transmission and confirmation
- Digital goods receipt capture
- Automated invoice matching and exception handling
- Electronic payment processing
- Real-time status tracking and reporting
Organizations implementing P2P automation typically realize 60-80% reductions in processing costs, 70-90% faster cycle times, and significant improvements in payment accuracy while freeing procurement professionals to focus on strategic activities rather than transaction processing.
