Digital procurement process in SAP
Digitise your purchase to pay process end-to-end
The procurement of materials consists of a complex process with five individual steps – from the purchase requisition (BANF) to the payment (Purchase to Pay/P2P). The illustration shows the process in its individual components.
Submit procurement request
Place order
Check goods receipt
Check & release invoices
Trigger payment process
Doesn’t look that complex? Consider that the individual sub-processes include incoming documents such as orders, delivery notes and invoices. These have to be processed and released – by different employees, in different departments.
Although SAP offers initial solutions for some sub-steps, the procurement process is not considered in its entirety. Individual procedures are not linked to a continuous process. Media discontinuities are pre-programmed.
Rely on a holistic purchase-to-pay process with SAP.
You can avoid these pitfalls with a consistent purchase-to-pay process in SAP.
- Lack of control in ordering processes can lead to wild buying behaviour (maverick buying effect). In the end, purchases are made bypassing the purchasing department.
- Long waits for approvals and the associated high turnaround times lead to reminder fees and loss of discounts.
- Lack of transparency in the process increases the loss of control and leads to errors in complying with internal guidelines.
- Manual processing requires a lot of work and time on the part of the staff, which often leads to frustration.
These stumbling blocks ultimately have a negative impact not only on employee satisfaction, but also on the company’s profits. Advantages are left lying around. Advantages that your competitors have already secured. You too can benefit from the advantages of an optimised P2P process with a document management system in conjunction with SAP.
