The Procure-to-Pay (P2P) workflow in Oracle Fusion ERP streamlines procurement and payment processes for goods, services, and capital expenditure (Capex). For goods procurement, roles include requisition creation (Self-Service Procurement), approval (Procurement), RFQ issuance and purchase order (PO) creation (Purchasing), goods receipt (Inventory), invoice matching (Payables), and payment processing (Cash Management). Capex procurement follows a similar flow but includes additional steps such as asset capitalization in the Fixed Assets module. Service procurement involves creating service requisitions, issuing RFQs, approving service POs, confirming service delivery, validating invoices, and releasing payments. Key process steps include creating purchase requisitions (PRs) based on requirements, routing approvals as per organizational hierarchy, floating RFQs to vendors, and creating POs with defined terms. Goods are received and inspected upon delivery, while services are acknowledged post-completion. The Accounts Payable team performs 3-way or 4-way matching before processing payments, ensuring compliance with tax and accounting standards. The General Ledger team oversees financial accounting to maintain accurate records. For Capex items, assets are capitalized and linked to depreciation schedules. This structured workflow integrates procurement, inventory, and finance modules, ensuring operational efficiency and compliance across the organization.
