End-to-End Business Scenarios

Some organizations measure value by the impact to their end-to-end processes. Outlined below are the primary end-to-end processes that are
important to finance operations.
‘Record to report’ is an end-to-end finance scenario that relates to faster,

continuous, and compliant financial close.
1. RECORD TO REPORT This scenario starts with recording of accounting data for multiple companies,
charts of accounts, and so on and ends with closing the books and creating
financial statements at the entity and corporate levels for International Financial
Reporting Standards, U.S. GAAP, or other local regulatory requirements.
‘Order to cash’ is an end-to-end finance scenario that relates to frictionless order

processing from quote to cash.
2. ORDER TO CASH This scenario includes all financial operations related to accounts receivable,
including billing customers and managing disputes, collections, and evaluating
customer credit risk.
‘Procure to pay’ is an end-to-end process for effective buyer-supplier

collaboration and compliant and efficient processes by electronically
3. PROCURE TO PAY connecting trading partners.
This scenario encompasses managing requests and creating orders in
compliance with policies, procuring from suppliers, verifying delivery, settling
supplier obligation along with streamlining accounts payable processes.
