What is Purchase to Pay?
Our Purchase to Pay software is an integrable system that fully automates the process of purchasing goods and services for a company. Our software takes its name from the fact that it handles all aspects of the purchase, from sourcing the goods to paying the supplier. The key benefits of our Purchase to Pay software are efficiency, cost savings, and financial and procurement insight.
Understanding Purchase to Pay
The Purchase to Pay workflow starts with the requisition, moves through the purchase, and ends with the payment. A requisition is the formal process of requesting a service, item, or product. Purchase occurs when the goods or services are received. The system closes when the payment is made.
Our software is designed for businesses looking to optimise the procurement process, benefiting the organisation with improved financial control and increased efficiency. This streamlined, integrated system saves money and reduces risk.
Challenges in the payment process
The entire process is made up of many individual processes that take place in different parts of the organisation, often involving multiple people. This leads to complexity and confusion, especially when the process is manual. The question is not if, but when, you will digitize. If you want to digitise and automate your payment process, contact Emendis for a tailor-made solution.
Miscommunication between departments
Different departments within an organisation typically have their own processes, making data transfer a challenge. Procurement and accounts payable are managed by two different departments, each with its own policies, systems, and priorities. Lack of unity can lead to inefficiencies and errors.
Our software has a clear authorisation flow. This means that purchase requests and invoices are systematically routed to the right person for approval. Until then, the purchase/payment is blocked.

Policy Compliance
Procurement departments are responsible for negotiating prices and discounts with suppliers, while Accounts Payable is responsible for adhering to these negotiated contracts.
In a paper environment, without technology to oversee an overarching process, non-compliance policy can lead to significant unnecessary costs.
Lack of insight
Organisations using different systems or methods often find that they do not have access to crucial information about the P2P cycle. Even when information is available, it may be inaccurate.
This leads to a lack of insight into sourcing, suppliers, and spend. This affects the ability to make strategic business decisions for the management.
This is how the process looks with Emendis software:
- Identified need: The need for a product or service is identified.
- Request management: A formal request for goods or services is submitted and approved.
- Purchase order issued: Once the purchase request is approved by an authorised person, a purchase order is issued to the supplier.
- Receipt of goods: The supplier delivers the requested goods or services, and the relevant goods receipt is created.
- Invoice received: The supplier’s invoice is submitted and entered into the system.
- Invoice processing: The invoice is either compared to the purchase order and goods receipt documents, or any exceptions are marked for investigation. Invoices with error notifications are selected by the workflow for inspection and approval.
- Accounts payable: Approved invoices are routed to the accounts payable department, which makes the payment and updates the system.
