These processes become unreliable when inefficiencies are not planned for, not identified and dealt with properly and in a timely manner, or when risk assessment and management protocols fail. The procure-to-pay (P2P) process , also sometimes referred to as purchase-to-pay, is a structured workflow that involves receiving goods or services and issuing payments.
