Procure-to-pay

From the first request to the last rupee paid, one connected record.

Every purchase in Ipcosys moves through the same six documents. Each points to the one before it, so any question about a payment can be answered from the request that started it.

Questions

How the flow fits your business

Do we have to use every module?
No. Most teams start with requests, approvals and matching, because that is where money leaves without a check. Analytics and payment scheduling use the same records, so they work as soon as you turn them on.
What happens to purchases that skip a request, like utilities or rent?
Recurring and contract-based spend can be set up as standing orders or as two-way matches against a contract, so invoices still get checked without a request every month.
Does Ipcosys replace our ERP or accounting system?
No. Ipcosys handles the steps before the ledger: request, approval, order, receipt and match. Approved invoices and payment runs are exported to your accounting system, where they are posted as usual.
How are goods receipts recorded?
Stores or the requesting department confirm what arrived against the PO, line by line, including partial deliveries. Services are confirmed by the department that received them.

Put your next hundred invoices through a three-way match.
