Supporting supply process
Procure. Receive. Match. Pay.
Procure-to-Pay supports the manufacturing plan by turning approved material and service demand into controlled supplier commitments, receipts, and payments.
Five controlled decisions
The process preserves who requested, approved, ordered, received, matched, and authorized every commitment.
- Request
Capture material or service, quantity, cost centre, needed date, and business reason.
- Approve
Route demand to the accountable approver and retain the decision context.
- Order
Convert approved demand into controlled supplier commitments and line items.
- Receive + match
Record accepted and rejected quantities, then compare order, receipt, and invoice.
- Authorize
Release only cleared invoices through an independent payment decision.
