Source-to-pay (S2P)

---

Source-to-pay is the complete procurement cycle, from identifying a need and selecting a supplier through receipt of goods or services and payment of the invoice, including supplier and contract management. It comprises a strategic segment — spend analysis, sourcing, negotiation, contracting — and an operational one, procure-to-pay. The most common gap sits at the join: awarded suppliers operating without completed qualification because sourcing and third-party control live in different systems.
