Integrating P-Cards with Purchasing in SAP

Session Overview:

Purchasing cards are recognized as a best-practice for reducing the cost of processing high-volume, low-value transactions.  However, the full value of purchasing cards is only realized when SAP is extended to incorporate p-cards as part of consistent purchasing and accounts payable processes.

This session will demonstrate how Paymetric reduces the cost of traditional transaction processing, streamlines the procure-to-pay process by enabling p-cards as a payment type for new spend categories, and maintains the accountability and visibility delivered through SAP controls.  Participants will learn how they can effectively pay purchase orders with p-cards, increase visibility into card spend, and automate reconciliation.
