What is Straight-Through Processing (STP)?

Straight-through processing (STP) is the end-to-end automation of business transactions without any manual intervention. In manufacturing and distribution, STP enables companies to process sales orders, purchase orders, and other transactional documents directly from receipt to system entry—accurately and at scale.

STP removes the need for human involvement in repetitive tasks like data extraction, validation, exception handling, and system updates. It ensures that transactions flow seamlessly from origin to destination, increasing speed, consistency, and operational efficiency.

Why It Matters

Manual entry of transactional documents slows down fulfillment cycles, introduces costly errors, and limits scalability. With rising customer expectations and complex supply chains, straight-through processing has become essential for:

• Faster quote-to-cash and procure-to-pay cycles
• Improved data accuracy and compliance
• Enhanced customer satisfaction and vendor performance
• Scalable operations without adding headcount
