Modernize your purchase-to-pay process

You quickly fall behind the competition with outdated purchase-to-pay (or procure-to-pay) processes. Efficiency standards aren’t met, which results in higher costs for your company. Additionally, lengthy processing times lead to delayed payments, hurting your relationship with your vendors.

With Document Capture and OPplus, you can automate your purchase and payment processes directly from your Business Central. An automated workflow allows you to easily standardize your P2P process and increase visibility across your purchasing cycle.

  • Ensure accuracy with automated data entry and validation checks  
  • Automatically approve invoices under a certain limit
  • Speed up invoice and payment processing times with automatic processes  
  • Save costs by improving the overall efficiency of your purchase to payment process

Your automated procure-to-pay process flow

1. Identify your needs

Based on upcoming projects, events, inventory, and other factors, your company identifies a need for a product, service, etc. You define the need specifications and select a supplier.

2. Create a purchase order

Once your purchase requisition is approved, you create a purchase order. Ensuring all the details are correct, you send it off to the vendor for confirmation.

3. Receive your order

Once the order is received in your warehouse, your invoice is imported into Business Central. Document Capture's intelligent OCR captures and extracts the data, removing the need for manual data entry.

4. Match your invoice

Document Capture registers your invoice, which is reconciled with automatic three-way matching. Your invoice is compared and matched with the corresponding purchase order and receipt if there are no inconsistencies.

5. Approve your invoice

Your invoice is sent to the appropriate workflow for approval by one or more approvers. It's then posted before you pay your vendor

6. Process payment proposals

OPplus Payment Export allows you to create a payment proposal based on due documents where you can check the payment information and payment details. You can also view the approved documents and even access the original document from Document Capture.

7. Pay your vendor

Once the payment proposal has been processed and checked, you can send the payment to your bank. After transferring the payment to the banking program, it can be approved there. Afterwards, the payment proposal just needs to be posted and the documents are completed.
