What I Would have Done Differently
Manage Expectations. High conversion rates take
time
Cleansing of vendor master must be priority
PO line validation helps reduce match exceptions but
does not eliminate match exceptions
Do not underestimate the importance of matching
supplier PO invoice lines to PO’s.
Strength of messaging is key
Communicate, Communicate and Communicate
