EBG have long experience from creating both real life meetings and online interviews and webinars. One thing is clear – there is a greater need for experience exchange than real life conferences can meet. And there are more people than usually go to a conference that could benefit from getting the same information at the same time.

Our answer to these possibilities and challenges are called Online Benchmark Sessions!

As always when EBG create a meeting, interview or conference we focus on content – enabling quality content during quality time. Apart from listening to great experiences you can ask live questions and participate in live polls, all in all giving you in-depth knowledge without leaving the office. The world has never been smaller.

Welcome to view the EBG | Network Online Goods Receipt Q&A Benchmark recording! Online Goods Receipt Q&A Benchmark was held in September 2016 and below is the recorded session.

Why is this an important question? Well, if you want to have control over what you buy, from who and at what cost – you may want to have control over if the goods/services were delivered accordingly too. Therefore the GR question is so interesting!

Imagine you have the best system ever with the possibility to control what you buy, from who and at what cost. You have set up 2, 3 or 4 way invoice matching with catalogues, PO demand, free text orders and invoice matching. How do you choose to set up goods/services receipt (GR)?

How can you ensure the holy grail “3 way match value based GR” (as someone in our network stated it) is enabled? Or is matching beyond 2 ways (PO-invoice matching) impossible to enforce in immature organizations as so many embarking on source to pay control are?

“Anyone can create a PO in a cloud solution – but enabling correct 3-way matching is really hard. It takes great knowledge in how the supplier invoices and preferably access to invoice data and of course price notification. The demand to do GR in the right period and before the invoice arrives is also really hard to achieve” is another quote from EBG’s network.

Discuss Goods receipt challenges and opportunities

After this session EBG | Network have been contacted several times by companies eager to learn more about how to manage goods receipt as part of an end to end process. EBG are therefor happy that Ann-Louise Hallding from Telia Company are hosting two Theme Discussions in the topic at Source 2 Pay Summit 2017, March 30th in Stockholm. As soon as you are registered you get a link and can secure your seat at her table. Welcome!

Today’s CPO agenda, of course, still is to get the most quality and quantity out of every Euro spent.

Polls

What about those attending this Q&A session – what can we learn from them and how does their practice compare with the panelists experiences?

First of all we wanted to learn if indeed 3-way match was the number one aim for the attendees. It is clear that we can say yes, this is the strategy used by most.

No one – or we assume few – go about setting up structures and rules for the fun of it, but why is GR mainly used? Spend and risk were top two followed by paying suppliers on time. Here somewhere the different ways the business, procurement and finance view what is purchased is visual. It would be interesting asking finance on one hand and procurement on one hand what the objectives are.

This is one of the core challenges with goods receipt. The basic idea being – we assume – to learn, from a spend and financial risk as well as from an accounting perspective and a paying the suppliers perspective – WHEN the goods and services are actually received and or used.

What is your idea about goods receipt, end to end processes, ways of controlling spend and cost, how to communicate policies and follow up on outcomes? Do let us know or come meet us March 30th in Stockholm at Source 2 Pay Summit 2017. What would it be worth for your organization to control spend further or reduce financial risk just a bit more?
