Are your teams applying the correct sales, use, and VAT codes? Tax touches every part of the procurement process. Integrating a tax engine with your procurement system can remove this burden, improve processes, and help reduce audit risk.
Transforming tax with the P2P process is an opportunity for tax, procurement, and IT to align. Implementing a tax engine with your procurement process can enable optimization of the tax and procurement functions, improve IT efficiency, and lower cost and risk across the enterprise.
Why add a tax engine for procurement?
◦ Increased Tax/IT effort required to maintain changing tax content
◦ Errors in tax coding decisions made by AP resulting in inefficiencies and audit risk
◦ Insufficient native tax functionality in ERP or procurement system
◦ Increasing audit activity revealing tax errors in procurement
◦ Reduced time spent on tax research and content maintenance
◦ Automation of consistent tax coding for a reliable, repeatable AP process
◦ Improved tax accuracy resulting in reduced audit risk
◦ Centralized and scalable tax operation utilizing a single tax engine that can support sales and purchasing
