Unlock Earlier, More Proactive Visibility with Purchase Order Management for Coupa

Many companies use Purchase Orders (POs) to procure SaaS and services as well as approve invoices for payment as part of their procure-to-pay process. POs are often used to document the details of products and services being purchased, including products, prices, and quantities. Using purchase orders can help an organization regain control of its spending, streamline the process of acquiring products and services, and create a proactive spend culture that improves the bottom line. They allow finance teams to keep tabs on pending and future purchases before any additional money is spent, adding clarity and visibility to business transactions.

Earlier, More Proactive Visibility

One challenge with the standard purchase order process is that finance teams often don’t get involved until the end. Until the invoice is received, they likely have no idea that the company has committed to spending a certain amount with a vendor. Additionally, if an invoice shows up without a purchase order, your finance team has to spend time reconciling the two.
