The purchase order raised in procurement never links to the invoice that arrives in AP. Matching is completed manually. Approvals happen twice. And no one has a single view of what has been committed versus what has been paid. That gap is where overpayments happen, duplicate payments go undetected, and audit findings emerge — usually after the money has already been spent. ## How it works ### Requisition to purchase order Every purchase request is raised against approved vendors and budgets, routed to the right approvers automatically, and converted into a purchase order once approved. Spend is committed through a structured, policy-driven workflow with real-time budget visibility at decision points. ### AP automation Streamlined intake with AI data extraction and review. Invoices are matched against the original purchase order and goods received — line by line. AI-assisted matching surfaces discrepancies, flags exceptions, and grades each invoice before it reaches approval, so your team applies judgment where it is needed. Errors are caught before payment, not after. ### One complete audit trail Because procurement and AP run in the same system, every approved commitment is the same record your team matches and pays against. When integrated there is no duplicate ERP data entry, and no need to reconcile between systems. The audit trail runs continuously from the original request through to the posted transaction — intact, complete, and always retrievable. ### Start with procurement or AP, scale to full P2P at your pace Begin with the process that solves your most immediate challenge and expand when you are ready. Fraxion’s procurement and AP capabilities are built on the same platform — so adding the second process requires no reimplementation, no data migration, and no disruption to what is already working. Procure-to-pay ## Automate more. Control more. Save more. The more of your procurement and AP processes you automate, the more efficiency and savings you can unlock. From purchasing and approvals to invoicing and payment, connecting every step gives you complete control and visibility over spend. With Fraxion, you can reduce manual work, streamline processes, improve compliance, and gain real-time visibility across the entire procure-to-pay lifecycle, helping your team work more efficiently while giving finance greater control over costs.

With Fraxion, each requester uploads their invoices directly into the system, and heads of departments can efficiently approve them, a more streamlined and controlled process that caters to the complexities of the entire organization.

Procure-to-pay is the complete lifecycle of a business purchase, from the initial request to buy something through approval, purchase order, goods receipt, invoice processing, and payment. It treats purchasing and accounts payable as one connected process rather than two separate functions. When procurement and AP are managed in the same system, every commitment approved becomes the exact record matched and paid, eliminating the manual handoffs, duplicate data entry, and audit gaps that occur when the two processes run in separate systems. ### How is procure-to-pay different from procurement automation or AP automation? Procurement automation manages spend before it is committed, covering purchase requests, approvals, and purchase orders. AP automation manages the invoice after goods or services are received, covering capture, matching, and payment. Procure-to-pay connects both into a single, end-to-end workflow. With Fraxion, organizations can start with procurement or AP automation and scale to full procure-to-pay at their own pace, without a reimplementation project. ### Do we have to implement everything at once? No. Many organizations start with procurement automation or AP automation and expand when they are ready. Fraxion's procurement and AP capabilities are built on the same platform, so adding the second process requires no data migration, no additional integration, and no disruption to existing workflows. Both connect seamlessly when you are ready to scale. ### What is three-way matching in procure-to-pay? Three-way matching verifies that an invoice aligns with the original purchase order and goods or services receipt before payment is approved. In a manual process, this means comparing documents across systems or physical records by hand. In Fraxion, three-way matching is streamlined and AI-assisted, flagging discrepancies and surfacing exceptions for review before they reach payment. ### How does procure-to-pay improve audit readiness? A connected procure-to-pay process creates a single, continuous audit trail from the original purchase request through to the posted transaction, capturing every approval decision and matching outcome. Because records are created automatically as each step occurs, audit evidence is always complete and retrievable. There is no reconstructing records from inboxes or spreadsheets when auditors arrive. ### Does Fraxion replace our ERP? No. Fraxion sits in front of your ERP, guiding requests, approvals, and record capture while enforcing budget and policy control, then syncs approved transactions to the ERP for payment and GL posting. Your ERP remains the system of record. ### How long does a procure-to-pay implementation take? Most implementations go live within three months. A Fraxion implementation consultant guides you through each step. ## The gap between procurement and AP is where financial control breaks down. Fraxion closes it. One platform, one audit trail, and one connected process from purchase request to payment. Start with procurement, start with AP, or implement both and scale at your own pace.
