AP starts before the invoice

It’s easy to think that the accounts payable process doesn’t begin until you receive an invoice.

The problem is that a lot of important decisions have already happened by that point in the purchasing process, choices that directly impact your cash flow.

For total control, you need full visibility of the process, so that you can catch upstream mistakes and prevent more from occurring.

A connected purchase-to-pay process gives finance visibility and control at every stage:

• Purchase request and approval

• Purchase order (PO

• Receipt

• Invoice and matching

• Payment

When these stages are connected, finance can track committed spend, identify exceptions earlier, and make more informed forecasting decisions.

Discover how connecting the purchase-to-pay process helps your organization control spend, reduce leakage, and build a more proactive AP function.
