Story
Inside Warner Bros Discovery, source to pay used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in communication services groups working out of the United States. Procurement and AP needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Warner Bros Discovery uses Supply Chain Design from Coupa as the working layer for procurement and payables. Coupa is a spend management platform for procurement, invoicing, expenses, and supply chain design used by finance and procurement teams. The practical change is simple: source to pay has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What Warner Bros Discovery gets from Coupa is a durable place to run source to pay and a way for procurement and AP to see the same procurement and payables at the same time.
