The preliminary phase
A thorough preliminary phase is essential prior to the implementation of the P2P process. As has been said, a good start is half the work. This also applies to your purchase to pay process. If you've read our previous pieces, by now you have:

- Drafted a P2P Business Case and received a “Go”.
- Made the right P2P software selection to support the process.
- Broadly designed or optimized the P2P process design.
