The purchase to pay (P2P) process, also known as procure to pay, refers to the sequence of steps that an organization follows to procure goods or services from external suppliers and then pay for them. It encompasses all activities involved in purchasing, receiving, and paying for goods or services, as well as managing supplier relationships.
Process mining can significantly enhance purchase to pay (P2P) processes by providing valuableinsights into every stage of procurement, from requisition to payment. By analyzingtransactional data and event logs, process mining uncovers inefficiencies, identifies bottlenecks, and detects deviations from optimal workflows. These insights empower organizations to streamline their P2P processes, reducing cycle times, minimizing errors, and enhancing overall efficiency.
Moreover, leveraging process mining in P2P processes can lead to cost savings, improved supplier relationships, and greater compliance with procurement policies and regulations.
