Configurable and ready-to-deploy, the AI-powered solution orchestrates the full procurement lifecycle across existing teams, systems, and tools — helping finance leaders govern spend and address exceptions earlier.

SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Automation Anywhere, the leading provider of agentic automation for the enterprise, today announced general availability of its agentic Procure-to-Pay solution, the newest addition to Autonomous Finance, a suite of AI-powered solutions for the Office of the CFO built on the AI-native agentic architecture Automation Anywhere announced in collaboration with OpenAI earlier this year.

In most organizations, the procure-to-pay process spans many disconnected systems, and an issue at one stage can create delays and downstream exceptions. Automation Anywhere's agentic Procure-to-Pay solution is designed to help address these challenges by acting as an intelligent layer that connects the process end-to-end, including procurement, ERP, finance, and supplier systems to orchestrate the full procurement lifecycle — adapting to existing processes and deployable in weeks – without replacing existing systems of record.

"Finance leaders understand how quickly manual exceptions, fragmented approvals and disconnected systems can consume capacity," said Vikram Khosla, Chief Financial Officer of Automation Anywhere. "Every exception that requires human investigation, every invoice that stalls in a queue, every approval that waits on a handoff is a strategic tax on the business. Our agentic Procure-to-Pay solution gives finance leaders a way to automate the routine, govern the exceptions, and give their teams back the capacity to do work that moves the business forward."

Automation Anywhere's agentic Procure-to-Pay solution coordinates work from vendor onboarding through requisition, purchase orders, goods receipt, invoice processing, and payment status tracking — tightly integrated with existing ERP, procurement, and financial systems. When exceptions occur, the solution's built-in AI assistant identifies the issue, surfaces context, and recommends actions, so finance teams can resolve more quickly. The result: finance and procurement teams shift focus from data entry and exception-chasing toward spend strategy, supplier relationships, and demand planning.

The solution also extends the reasoning-to-action approach Automation Anywhere and OpenAI collaborated on in January, leveraging OpenAI's advanced reasoning models in tandem with Automation Anywhere's agentic solution architecture to bring enterprise context, orchestration, and governed execution into core finance processes. Today, that vision is taking shape as Autonomous Finance — intelligent solutions designed to transform finance operations end-to-end.

"Our Procure-to-Pay solution is one part of a much broader system that brings together advanced AI reasoning, enterprise context, and governed execution to understand and continuously improve how finance actually operates," said Dustin Snell, SVP of Agentic Solutions at Automation Anywhere. "This is the first part of the story we're bringing to market from the vision we announced in collaboration with OpenAI earlier this year."

Organizations across the globe and industry verticals trust Automation Anywhere for finance transformation, including Australia Post, Boston Scientific, Cargill, Grant Thornton, Hitachi, Juniper, KeyBank, UK National Health Service, ResMed, Stanley Black & Decker, and more.

Automation Anywhere brings a proven track record in agentic finance automation to Procure-to-Pay. The solution is built on the same invoice-processing engine behind Automation Anywhere's Accounts Payable offering, which has helped customers achieve up to 90% straight-through processing (STP) — the rate at which invoices move without human intervention. Procure-to-Pay extends that same proven technology across the full procurement lifecycle. Organizations can start with accounts payable and expand into other workflows as needs evolve — providing a practical path to broader automation and governance without requiring a large upfront transformation. Autonomous Finance already includes more than 55 AI agents across 100+ task types and 10+ finance sub-functions.
