Control spend from the first
request.
Stratas automates the full purchase to pay cycle. Requisition, purchase order, budget check, goods receipt, invoice match, and payment run in one connected flow, posted straight to your ERP.
Approving invoices is too late to control spend.
By the time an invoice reaches AP, the money is already committed. Off-contract buying, maverick spend, and budget overruns happen upstream, at the requisition and PO stage, where most finance teams have no automated control.
Chasing approvals by email and rekeying POs into the ERP slows the whole cycle and hides the numbers until month-end.
One automated cycle, from request to payment.
01
Requisition
Staff raise a request against the right budget and cost centre. Rules catch off-contract and over-budget items before they become commitments.
02
Purchase order
Approved requisitions become POs automatically and post to your ERP. No rekeying, no email chains.
03
Budget check
Every commitment is checked against live budget before it is approved, so finance sees committed spend in real time.
04
Goods receipt
Receipts are logged against the PO so quantities and prices are confirmed before any invoice is paid.
05
Invoice and three-way match
Supplier invoices are captured and matched to the PO and goods receipt. Clean matches pass straight through. Exceptions route to the right approver with the full history attached. See the invoice detail in AP automation.
06
Payment and accounting
Approved invoices are scheduled for payment and posted to the ledger with a complete audit trail.
Purchase to pay runs on top of the finance system you already have.

AP automation fixes the invoice. Purchase to pay fixes the spend.
Accounts payable automation speeds up invoice capture, matching, and payment. That removes the data entry, but the commitment was already made.
Purchase to pay adds the front of the cycle: requisitions, purchase orders, and budget control. Finance approves spend before it happens.
If invoices are the only problem you have today, start with AP automation. If you want control over what gets bought in the first place, this is the page.

Common questions.
Purchase to pay, also called procure to pay or P2P, is the full cycle from raising a purchase requisition through to paying and accounting for the supplier invoice. It covers requisitions, purchase orders, goods receipt, invoice matching, and payment.
Accounts payable is the invoice part: capturing, matching, and paying supplier invoices. Purchase to pay is the whole cycle, including the requisition and purchase order steps that happen before the invoice. AP is a subset of P2P.
Stratas connects to 100+ ERPs and finance systems, including Sage, SAP, Business Central, NetSuite, Xero, and OrderWise.
No. Many teams start with AP automation and add requisitions, purchase orders, and budget control later. The cycle is modular.
