Purchase-to-Pay Process

Last updated 7 months ago

The purchase-to-pay process in an ERP system covers the entire procurement cycle, from placing a purchase order to receiving goods and paying suppliers. This process ensures that businesses manage their procurement activities efficiently and maintain good relationships with suppliers.

Steps in the Purchase-to-Pay Process:

  1. Create a Purchase Order: A purchase order is generated based on demand planning and sent to the supplier.

  2. Receive Goods: The supplier delivers the goods, and the ERP system updates inventory based on the goods received.

  3. Invoice Matching: The supplier’s invoice is matched with the purchase order and goods receipt to ensure accuracy.

  4. Make Payment: The invoice is processed for payment, and accounts payable is updated to reflect the payment made.
