AP can now make it possible for Procurement to maximize discounts, and avoid late fees, while improving working capital management. Not to mention the ability to deliver full line item detail on non PO spend to increase preferred supplier discounts and control

At the Power of e, you’ll hear case studies from world class AP departments, learn best practices and gain insight into lessons learned. You’ll also have the opportunity to network with your peers and faculty in a sophisticated environment.
