Buyers suffer from limited transparency on purchasing volumes and the quality

of vendors, with poor visibility of centrally negotiated quotations, contracts, and

conditions. In addition, many companies lack standardized procurement processes

and strategic planning.

Limited transparency on purchasing volume

and vendor quality leads to reduced bargaining

power with suppliers. This can result in potentially

higher prices and increased transaction costs.

Meanwhile, a lack of long-term supply planning

results in decentralized, ad hoc, and shortened

procurement processes. These “emergency

purchases” often circumvent established tender

procedures and can provide unfavorable terms

for the buyer.

Limited transparency of centrally negotiated

quotations, contracts, and conditions may lead

to lost discounts and higher prices. In addition,

a lack of standardized procurement processes

can result in the bypassing of preferred vendors

and negotiated prices.

Uncertainty regarding future customer demand

leads to a lack of clarity concerning production,

purchasing, and transport requirements.

And as inventory levels increase to ensure that

stock-outs don’t occur, liquidity decreases.

Due to economic difficulties or strong buying

power, customers may pay late or not at all.

Furthermore, banks may tighten credit lines

or block credit.

A strategic spend-management approach helps

companies to overcome these challenges.

Close collaboration with suppliers helps organizations to forecast demand,

anticipate requirements, streamline processes, and reduce working capital.

Companies can optimize business cycles with fully integrated solutions that

support comprehensive processes for procure to pay and logistics.

Achieving Procurement Excellence

Companies must focus on enhancing opera-

tional efficiencies through tactical steps that

eliminate waste and create a seamless

procurement flow, from requisition to payment.

This can create a significant competitive

advantage by reducing operating costs

throughout the procurement process, maxi-

mizing savings, and optimizing the ROI

of procurement assets. To achieve this,

companies must first address four key issues.

First, they must implement a holistic

compliance program. This enables them to

achieve compliance goals and improve spend

visibility.

Second, they must establish a comprehensive

supplier framework. This enables them to

assess, develop, audit, and integrate suppliers

using robust quality and performance metrics

that optimize the supplier base and reduce risk.

Third, companies must standardize and

optimize processes by leveraging best

practices and standard management principles,

helping them to realize maximum value. Using

software to automate processes helps to drive

down process costs further.

Fourth, companies must develop and

implement risk management capabilities to

assess risk, define risk response, and measure

key metrics. This improves overall control and

mitigates costly supply chain disruptions.

Implementing a holistic procurement strategy delivers rapid return on investment.

By making real-time purchasing data available globally, companies can enhance

productivity, support cost control, and improve liquidity.

Real-Time Decisions for a Competitive Edge

Effective management of purchasing processes

improves the operational efficiency and productivity of an organization. Companies can

execute their full purchasing power in vendor

negotiations, enforce central strategic vendor

decisions, and optimize buying patterns.

With a centralized purchasing solution in place,

companies can support vendor evaluations

and enable organizations to integrate suppliers

into their own operational processes. They can

also reduce costs by lowering inventory levels

and consolidating shipments and enhance

user productivity with easy-to-use self-service

functionality.

Automated functionality allows organizations to

perform automatic runs of routine tasks and

determine appropriate suppliers for different requirements. Automatic conversion of

purchase requisitions into purchase orders

improves the efficiency of workflows, while

automated settlement of goods receipts and electronic data interchange (EDI) functionality

also streamlines processes.

Support for gross and net posting of invoices

received, as well as block and release

functionality and flexible tolerance handling,

provides buyers with the control they need to

carry out tasks efficiently.

Meanwhile, three-way matching improves the

accuracy and speed of invoice processing while

cross-company invoice verification improves

transparency. In addition, subsequent

settlement functionality enables companies to

process payments separately based on specific

criteria being met.

Improving the speed and accuracy of the delivery process

and reducing labor costs are the key issues in warehouse

operations. SAP software helps companies to gain control

over these issues and optimize the utilization of people

and assets.

With SAP software, companies can manage

the procurement of direct and indirect goods

and services to improve the effectiveness

of warehouse operations. Organizations

can leverage functionality for self-service

procurement, catalog management, plan-driven

procurement, services procurement, and order

processing and analytics. SAP solutions also

help companies to optimize the procurement

process with intuitive user interfaces and

strategically managed catalogs, streamlining

the purchase of goods and services.

Automated, direct procurement driven by input

from an integrated enterprise resource planning

(ERP) system can reduce time spent on manual

processes. These can include manufacturing

resource planning, plant maintenance, and

inventory management.

After acquisition of goods and services

through optimized inventory and warehouse

management, integration with invoicing and

accounts payable further improves operational

efficiency.

Manage the entire process required to pay invoices

electronically, eliminate human error, and ensure

compliance. Have full transparency on your outstanding

invoices, and deploy individual payment rules to benefit

from special conditions.

To manage invoicing and accounts payable

processes, companies must be able to collect

and check invoices, verify them against

preconfigured business rules, and handle

exceptions as they occur. SAP software

automates data extraction and streamlines

the invoice management process, helping

to eliminate data-entry errors and duplicate

invoices.

Accounts payable departments can record

and manage all accounts-payable data

and integrate that data with their company

purchasing systems. SAP software

simultaneously records postings to accounts

payable integrated into the general ledger and

supports all standard payment methods.

Cash management updates flow from invoice

data for liquidity checks. All country-specific

payment formats can be leveraged for

comprehensive adaptation to local country

rules and regulations.

Whether an invoice is created manually

or automatically, SAP software delivers

transparency and control throughout the

invoice lifecycle. Our software matches invoice

data against predecessor documents and

verifies that all legally-binding information is

provided. It identifies discrepancies between

purchase orders and supplier invoices and

supports approval and release processes so

that the invoice can be paid.
