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:
Create a Purchase Order: A purchase order is generated based on demand planning and sent to the supplier.
Receive Goods: The supplier delivers the goods, and the ERP system updates inventory based on the goods received.
Invoice Matching: The supplier’s invoice is matched with the purchase order and goods receipt to ensure accuracy.
Make Payment: The invoice is processed for payment, and accounts payable is updated to reflect the payment made.
