SAP System of Record

Business activity and transactions are recorded precisely in the system to act as a Single Source of Truth

Why P2P is "Business Control"

It ensures every £ spent is visible, approved, and traceable, preventing unauthorized "maverick spending" .

The "Three-Way Match" (P2P)

Reconciliation of the Supplier Invoice vs. Purchase Order vs. Goods Receipt to verify accuracy before payment

Available-to-Promise (ATP)

An automated SAP check that confirms product availability and delivery dates to ensure accurate customer commitments.

Credit Limit Check (O2C)

A control that prevents high-risk sales by automatically blocking orders that exceed a customer's set limit

Real-time Finance/Inventory Link

Posting a Goods Receipt (GR) automatically increases Inventory (Assets) and Creditors (Liabilities) simultaneously.

Exceptions vs. Automation

SAP allows accountants to only handle "Exceptions" (errors) while standard verification is done automatically by the system.
