Purchase to pay use case

Purchase-to-Pay (P2P) is the end-to-end process that organizations use to procure goods or services and manage payments to suppliers. It typically includes:
  • Purchase requisition

    An employee or department identifies a need and creates a purchase request for goods or services.

  • Purchase Order (PO) creation

    Once approved, the requisition is converted into a formal purchase order and sent to the supplier.

  • Goods/Services receipt

    Upon delivery, the receiving team confirms the receipt and quality of the goods or services.

  • Invoice processing

    The supplier submits an invoice, which is matched against the PO and goods receipt (3-way match).

  • Payment execution

    After successful matching and approvals, the payment is processed as per agreed terms.

The following diagram shows a purchase-to-pay process in Maestro. It follows the flow from purchase request and order creation to goods receipt and supplier payment, including key approval and verification steps.
