What is an example of Procure-to-Pay?
An example of Procure-to-Pay would be a company's entire process of acquiring goods or services from a supplier, starting from the initial request for a quote or proposal, through to the final payment for those goods or services. This process often involves several steps, including selecting a supplier, negotiating a contract, issuing a purchase order, receiving the goods or services, verifying their quality and quantity, and finally making payment to the supplier. The goal of Procure-to-Pay is to streamline and automate this process as much as possible, in order to reduce costs, improve efficiency, and maintain compliance with relevant regulations. Can you give me a specific scenario that illustrates this process in action?
