What is Source To Pay

Source-To-Pay often abbreviated to S2P, is the entire end-to-end process involved in procurement of goods and services and relies on technology and digital networks for efficieny and compliance. Source-to-Pay is a more strategic approach to procurement’s core business process because it focuses on spend analytics, strategic sourcing, vendor management, purchasing, accounts payable and overall performance management & reporting. Source to pay systems include:

  • Catalog and Content Management
  • Supplier Management
  • Requisition and Approval Workflow
  • Purchase Order Management
  • Accounts Payable
  • Invoice Reconciliation
