Purchase-to-Pay (P2P) Process Mining has the objective to visualize process flows, identify process weaknesses, and support process improvements. It allows to monitor and manage any process in complex, global organizations in an unprecedented form and efficiency. This includes: Visualization of P2P processes based on live data from SAP ERP systems. Time stamps for duration between relevant process steps. Identification of P2P process weaknesses, e.g., with low degree of automation or multiple approval steps. Support process improvements with immediate review of process adjustments and interactive remediation. In a nutshell, P2P Process Mining provides the answers to “how can I increase operational efficiency?” and “how can I optimize my working capital by reducing cash out towards external suppliers?” within the P2P process.
