The purchase department
The purchase department is responsible for the procurement. Controlling invoices, pay within the right period and terms. For the suppliers of goods, materials and services directly associated with the production of goods and services that a company is providing, these terms repeat often. For indirect procurement, the procurement of goods who are not directly crucial for the production process, like office supplies, there often are a lot of different suppliers. These suppliers have different invoices and different conditions and terms. The whole process of accepting, controlling and paying these invoices are therefore very time-consuming and sensitive to errors. Most of all because this are one-time suppliers. After one order, you probably never place an order again at these companies. There are a lot of those one-time suppliers in your database. This whole process is very labour-intensive.
