The case

Challenge, approach and evidence

01

Challenge

Paper invoices often arrived with limited transactional information: no project reference, requester, PO, cost center or clear functional owner. Some services benefited several departments.

  • Accumulated invoices, reminders and late-payment fees
  • Unclear accountability and cross-functional cost allocation
  • Potential legal escalation, service-continuity risk and reputational exposure

02 / Operating shift

From the old model to the new one

BEFORE

Legitimate exception payments were forced through a standard workflow that did not match their nature.

AFTER

A designed controlled route aligned payment type, ownership, allocation and governance; full implementation is not confirmed.

03 / Relevant outcomes

What changed

  • Designed clearer ownership and cross-functional cost allocation for non-standard payment types.

  • Proposed a reusable exception model to reduce escalation potential and strengthen payment governance and risk prevention.
