Would you agree there is an increased focus towards invoices and accounts payable during 2020? Together with a solid collaboration with procurement and a dialogue with suppliers. When it became crystal clear what may happen when remote work is enforced on global businesses. When the need to have absolute control over cash has never been clearer.

On May 6th you can choose to join the below Theme Discussion hosted by Basware. Theme discussions are limited seats, pre-selected, online, moderator led and on web camera. A really high quality way of connecting with peers and experts also now.

Why is AP and AP data more important today than ever before?

In 2021 many companies still struggle with scattered data and challenges handling end to end spend information in a best possible way. Evaluating what a solid digital platform basis may be for you is key. Do you invest in a broad suite or find best of breed solutions for different areas? Given that you too want to minimise errors and automate the most – what should you consider as you develop ahead? During this session you will discuss:

  • In what ways does a suite, platform and best of breed system differ?
  • How do you define what business problem You need to solve and hence what you choose?
  • Compare how mature your AP and invoice handling is!
  • Why is AP where you should focus more efforts?
  • Is accounts payable increasingly becoming a procurement topic?

Benchmark: How do you ensure category teams support an efficient P2P process?

Independent of how solid your process mapping is, how thorough your instructions are and how clear the benefits may be – if the upstream team is not onboard – your best practice purchase to pay process will not happen. During this session you will discuss and share experiences in how to support and ensure those managing sourcing, contract management and the P2P process are aligned and work in an optimal way from an end to end perspective.

Discuss:              

  • In order to secure an optimal end to end process – who need to do what and what competences are important?
  • How can we manage spend more efficiently and under control – are POs the only tool to achieve that, and when does it make sense to involve category teams?
  • How can you use transactional data to facilitate an end-to end perspective (in relation to value creation and not the least user friendliness)
