Key Takeaways

⇨

Most ERP systems are built for accounting strength, not payment optimization, leaving AP teams to stitch together disconnected tools for invoice capture, supplier communication, and payment execution, driving up complexity and cost.

⇨

Supplier enablement is the missing piece in AP modernization: getting suppliers off paper checks and onto electronic payment forms delivers faster settlement, better cash flow visibility, and measurable efficiency gains that technology alone cannot achieve.

⇨

AI is set to transform accounts payable by moving AP and AR teams from raw data processing to decision-making intelligence, giving finance leaders the transparency and predictive insight to act on payment behavior, not just report on it.

Most ERP implementations promise efficiency. But for many organizations, accounts payable (AP) remains a patchwork of disconnected systems, manual processes, and missed payment optimization. That is quietly limiting what the ERP system can actually deliver.

In this episode of ERP Today Live!, we speak with Steve Tackett, EVP of Operations at Priority Commerce, about why AP workflows so often extend beyond the ERP, what breaks down when they do, and what it takes to fix it.

From supplier enablement to the role of AI in bringing transparency to both sides of the buyer-supplier equation, Tackett makes the case that the real opportunity in payments is not just about better technology—it is about better decisions.
