ERP Reality Check: If You Have an
ERP, Why Is AP Still a Bottleneck?
February 12, 2026 | 1PM EST
You invested in an ERP to automate finance. So why does accounts payable still feel stuck in manual work, growing exception queues, and constant rework? In this webinar, we’ll break down why ERP–centric AP automation often turns AP into a cleanup crew, pushing errors, missing data, and exceptions onto already stretched teams. We’ll expose the hidden cost of exception–driven workflows, from rising processing costs and cycle times to audit risk and staff burnout. Most importantly, we’ll reset expectations on what true straight-through AP processing requires and show you a live demonstration of an AP automation solution that integrates with your ERP.
