ONEOK’s Accounts Payable Journey
• Our vision:
– Centralized structure
– Transition from manual entry method to an online, automated method with
coding/approval workflow
– Outsource invoice scanning to capture the suppliers that are not participating in
electronic invoicing process
– Ability to have dynamic discounting available to our suppliers
• ONEOK centralized the accounts payable organization in 2010
• ONEOK needed a strategic partner to complete our vision
especially as it relates to dynamic discounting
– Discounting returns were a key component in business case
Prior to 2010 ONEOK and ONEOK Partners accounts payable organization was decentralized, paper based
and with a manual entry method
