## What 7StepSource does

7StepSource consolidates the procurement workflow into one application:

- **Vendor management** — onboard suppliers, store contacts and documents, and
  track performance over time.
- **Requisitions & purchase orders** — capture requests, route them for
  approval, and issue POs.
- **Receipts & invoices** — record goods receipts and match invoices against POs
  and receipts (three-way matching).
- **Approvals & budgets** — configurable approval workflows with budget checks.
- **Contracts** — central contract repository with renewal and expiration
  tracking.
- **RFPs & proposals** — run sourcing events, collect proposals, and compare
  suppliers.
- **Catalogs** — supplier catalogs for repeatable purchasing.
- **Reporting & initiatives** — spend visibility and tracked sourcing
  initiatives.

## The procure-to-pay workflow

7StepSource models the standard procure-to-pay (P2P) cycle: identify a need →
create a requisition → obtain approval → issue a purchase order → receive goods
or services → capture and match the invoice → pay. Each step is tracked in the
app with an audit trail. See https://www.7stepsourcing.com/procure-to-pay for the detailed explainer.
