The Full Procurement Integration (formerly Procure-to-Pay or P2P)

The Full Procurement Integration is the process of purchasing, submission of electronic purchase orders and receiving.                    

Note: The payment of the vendor's invoice is not included in this scope.

Vendor Counter Pickup

Allows ServiceTitan customers to pick up the products directly from the vendor's site.

Map to Provider

Customers can map their Pricebook to a supplier catalog, leveraging an algorithm to determine item matches between their Pricebook and the supplier catalog. High Matches will be displayed for customers to then map. If there are no High Matches, then the Customer is able to select items in Pricebook to match with the supplier catalog.

Upload Purchase History

Customers can upload their purchase history from a supplier in order to identify matches between their purchasing history and the supplier catalog. The matching is based on the vendor part number and code only, producing High Matches. Customers can then either map and/or add items to their Pricebook.

Matching items

Customers can leverage the Map to Provider and Upload Purchase History to identify matches between their Pricebook and purchase history, respectively, and the supplier catalog. Once matches are identified, customers have the option to map and/or add these items to their Pricebook.

Mapping Items

To reduce the number of items in the ServiceTitan customer's pricebook, ServiceTitan customers can link items from their existing pricebook to the vendor's product catalog and receive any subsequent updates from the vendor's catalog.

Adding Items

Items not already in the customer's Pricebook can be added from the supplier catalog to their Pricebook. Adding items creates the same connection as mapping items so that updates will flow through. No further action is required once added.

Updates

Both mapping items and adding items to the Pricebook, creates the connection for content and pricing (if applicable) updates to flow through. Customers can choose to set their updates to 'Manually Update' or 'Auto Update' to apply them to the Pricebook.
