02 — Overview
What is ZOPA P2P?
It is the system ZOPA’s own buyers run on, so it is built around real purchasing: GST-ready purchase orders, approvals that work from an email and a record of every step. Your teams can use it directly, with their own buyers, approvers and store officers working in one place. Pair it with ZOPA Flux for sourcing, or with ZOPA’s co-buying plans when you want a ZOPA buyer alongside.

07 — Dashboards and TAT
What can you measure with ZOPA P2P dashboards?
- Orders processed and value managedVolume and spend at a glance
- Vendors and categories handledThe breadth of your supply base
- Projects and locations servedWhere the spend lands
- Savings realised and savings %Total savings and the percentage they represent
- Category spendSpend and negotiated savings by category
- PR net TATRequisition-to-PO time, net of clarification pauses
- Clarification TATHow long requesters take to answer buyer queries
- PO issue TAT and GRN lead timeHow fast orders go out and goods come in
- Turnaround distributionRequisitions closed in 1 day, 3 days, 7 days or more
- Delivery and vendor delay riskWhere late deliveries are likely to hurt
When a buyer asks for clarification, the requisition-to-PO clock pauses. The wait is logged separately as clarification TAT, so buyers are not blamed for delays on the requester side and those delays stay visible.

11 — Questions answered
What do teams ask about ZOPA P2P?
01Can one organisation see another organisation’s data?
No. Every record, master and report in ZOPA P2P belongs to one organisation. Users see only their own organisation’s requisitions, orders, budgets and dashboard. Cross-organisation views are reserved for authorised ZOPA administrators.
02Can approvers approve without logging in?
Yes. Approvers receive an email with the line items, totals and the PO PDF. Signed links let them approve, or reject with a reason, from any device without signing in. Each link works once and expires after 72 hours. Approvers can also return a document to its originator with comments.
03How does ZOPA P2P handle GST?
It compares the state on the vendor address with the shipping location and applies CGST plus SGST for intra-state purchases or IGST for inter-state ones. You can set line-level discounts and a tax rate per item, and totals are rounded off automatically. Catalog items carry HSN or SAC codes and a default GST rate.
04Does ZOPA P2P support partial deliveries?
Yes. A goods receipt can be recorded in several batches against one PO, with a running view of what is still expected. Store officers record received, accepted and rejected quantities, and rejections carry a reason. Once every line is fully received and accepted, the PO moves to Delivered automatically.
05How does ZOPA P2P prevent budget overspend?
Budgets are held per fiscal year by department, project or cost centre. When a requisition or PO is submitted, the amount is frozen so it cannot be double-booked, and it becomes committed on release. The available balance is visible before anyone approves, and frozen funds return immediately if the document is rejected, returned or cancelled.
06Can I import items from Excel?
Yes. Download the Excel BOQ template, fill in your line items and upload them to create dozens of requisition lines at once, with fields mapped automatically. Product catalogs can also be imported and exported with Excel.
07How does ZOPA P2P work with ZOPA Flux?
They cover different parts of buying. ZOPA Flux is the e-sourcing and RFQ platform for collecting and comparing vendor bids across email, WhatsApp and a portal. ZOPA P2P runs the purchase around it: requisitions, purchase orders, approvals, receipt, invoices and payment. P2P also has its own sourcing workbench for logging quotes inside a purchase. Use either on its own or together.
