Story
National Grid is based in the United Kingdom and runs utilities operations at a scale where procurement and payables cannot live in side channels. Procurement and AP were reconciling competing copies of the same work, which slowed source to pay and hid who owned the next step.
The company runs source to pay on SAP, with SAP BTP as the product procurement and AP actually open. SAP is the global leader in enterprise resource planning software, with S/4HANA, business technology platform services, and industry cloud applications. For National Grid, that means procurement and AP can open one workflow, see procurement and payables, and let neighboring teams join without inventing a parallel stack.
Public materials confirm the companies and products. They do not always publish a single verified KPI for this pairing, so the outcome here is operational: clearer ownership, fewer stalled handoffs, and a shared record for procurement and payables.
