Procure-to-Pay Enhancements/Automation Project

We are currently engaged in an enhancement project looking to find efficiencies in our current Procure-to-Pay processes. Our corporate business analysis team have presented us with a redesign of our accounts payables process where instead of payments being initiated following the receipt of an invoice from a supplier, it is initiated by the contract manager after receipt of the goods or services. Although this is new to our company, we have been advised that this model is utilized by many organizations. I am urgently looking for contacts in this network who are utilizing a similar process so that I can seek their input on how this process works in their organization to be better able to assess this new model for our organization. If you can answer a few questions or provide any documentation to help us better understand how this works in your organization, we would greatly appreciate your help!
