The Source-to-Pay (S2P) process represents a comprehensive sequence of activities that link an organization with its suppliers, initiating with the identification of suitable suppliers to meet specific needs, followed by negotiations and contract agreements for the acquisition of goods and/or services. This process concludes with the invoicing and payment to these suppliers.
