Programme Objectives

  • Develop advanced capability to apply AI across the complete procure-to-pay lifecycle from requisition and purchase order through receipt, invoice matching, exception resolution, and payment.
  • Use AI-assisted analysis to identify transaction errors, approval bottlenecks, invoice mismatches, supplier-data issues, duplicate activity, compliance gaps, and payment delays.
  • Apply AI to improve requisition quality, PO accuracy, supplier coordination, invoice processing, exception management, and P2P control effectiveness.
  • Use AI-assisted analytics to improve touchless processing, cycle time, transaction accuracy, supplier experience, working-capital visibility, and operational productivity.
  • Build responsible AI-enabled Procure-to-Pay workflows with strong segregation of duties, confidentiality, validation, auditability, fraud awareness, and human oversight.

Scenarios

High Invoice Exception Rate to Touchless P2P Improvement Plan

Requisition Quality → PO Accuracy → Goods Receipt → Invoice Validation → Match Exceptions → Root Causes → Automation → KPI Monitoring

Participants use AI to analyse a high volume of invoice exceptions, identify upstream requisition, PO, receipt, and supplier-data issues, and design a controlled approach for improving straight-through processing.

Late Supplier Payments to End-to-End P2P Recovery Model

Invoice Ageing → Payment Blocks → Missing Receipts → Approval Delays → Match Failures → Ownership → Corrective Actions → Payment Performance Dashboard

Participants use AI to diagnose persistent supplier-payment delays, trace issues across the complete P2P process, prioritise corrective actions, and establish an AI-enabled monitoring and governance model.
