19 19 Example #1 Problem Statement: Decrease the number of invoices going to ScanOne for indexing. Issues: Costs SLA (2 days to get into Ariba P2P) Invoices do not match properly to Purchase Orders (PO) causing delays in payment Analysis: Review the list of PO vendors and determine which ones are not submitting invoices over the Ariba Network but receiving POs. Resolution: Enforce usage of the Ariba Network to submit invoices for P.O. related invoices. Systematically reject invoices that do not follow this process.

20 20 Example #2 Problem Statement: Decrease the number of invoices going to exception queue. Issues: Delays in the processing of invoices Extra time spent on managing exception for staff Analysis: Review of invoices going to exception and place them in similar buckets (e.g. Missing PO numbers, incorrect address, etc.) Resolution: Address each specific issue either through manual intervention (e.g. speak with supplier) or systematically.
