Improve the path from an end user requesting to buy to the payout.
Issues:
- Procurement is powerful, but it’s not always clear the stage that it’s in or if it’s going to bill pay/cc
- Clarify the stages (request, approved, received, invoice)
- Clarify the pay type (cc, invoice)
- if it’s cc, then it’s on the person paying for it and as a result the request needs to be there.
- if it’s bill pay, then it’s important the procurement ID is on there
- Make it clear for the person paying the bills
- has the goods or services been received
- reject options if there is no associated procurement
- dates of expected invoice so they can manage expectations
- Improve the path of procurement to bill pay for invoices.
- procurement could be a quote to start and then invoice for bill pay. In either case, it needs to be routed at the appropriate time to bill pay.
- Provide a means for the requester to sign off on the goods/services that have been received and are ready to be paid either as a full received or partial
