Purchase-to-pay support for UK operations
Purchase-to-pay connects purchasing decisions, supplier onboarding, invoice approval and payment. When those stages are not joined up, businesses can lose visibility, delay suppliers and make it harder to control spend. Lion Contracting Services helps create a clear and workable P2P process for UK operations.
From purchase request to payment
We review how requests are raised, how suppliers are selected, how purchase orders are issued, how goods or services are confirmed and how invoices are approved. The aim is a process that matches your organisation's size and risk profile rather than unnecessary administration.
- Purchase request and approval mapping
- Purchase order process support
- Supplier onboarding and data checks
- Invoice-to-PO matching
- Exception and blocked-invoice reporting
- Approval workflow tracking
- Payment-run preparation
- Process documentation and hand-over
Built around your systems
We can work alongside your existing finance and procurement tools, including Xero, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, SAP and Oracle. Where a process is partly manual, we identify practical improvements before recommending automation.
Useful reporting
A P2P process should show more than what has been paid. Useful reporting can include invoices awaiting approval, unmatched invoices, overdue supplier statements, blocked payments and upcoming cash requirements.
For growing and international businesses
Clear roles are especially important when a UK operation reports to a finance team in another country. We help create consistent hand-offs and reporting so local stakeholders and head office can see what is happening.
