In the retail industry, the Procure to Pay (P2P) process is typically divided into two main groups:
- P2P Trade (Commercial Goods): Transactions involving the direct purchase of goods for resale (e.g., food, household goods, fashion). This group directly impacts revenue and gross profit.
- P2P Non-trade (Non-commercial goods/Operations): Purchases made to support business operations (e.g., store equipment, office supplies, marketing services, utilities).
