Coupa runs your purchasing, but the contracts that govern that spend usually sit somewhere else. Connect Coupa to Vallor so Val can read your supplier records, purchase orders, and invoice approvals against the actual contract terms, then answer questions with the source clause attached.
What lives in Coupa
Coupa holds the transactional side of procurement. Here is what Val reads and why it matters next to a contract.
| In Coupa | Why it matters next to your contracts |
|---|---|
| Purchase orders | Check committed spend against the pricing and volume terms in the governing contract. |
| Supplier records and profiles | Match each active supplier to the contract that should be on file. |
| Invoice approvals | Compare approved invoice amounts to contracted rates, discounts, and payment terms. |
| Requisitions | See demand building against contracts that are close to expiry or already lapsed. |
| Coupa Contracts records | Line up the metadata Coupa already tracks with the full clause text Val extracts. |
What you can ask
Once Coupa is connected, procurement can ask questions that used to need a manual audit.
Which suppliers have POs above their contracted rates?
Val lists the purchase orders that exceed the pricing term and links the clause that sets the rate.
Which active suppliers have no contract on file?
Val flags spend flowing to suppliers with no matching agreement, so you can close the gap before renewal.
Which supplier contracts renew in the next 90 days?
Val returns the renewals with their notice windows and the open POs still running against them.
Do any invoice approvals break contracted payment terms?
Val compares approved invoices to the payment and discount language and points to the mismatch.

FAQ
Does Vallor replace Coupa Contracts?
No. Coupa stays your procurement system of record. Vallor reads supplier and spend context from Coupa and pairs it with full clause-level contract intelligence, so you get answers Coupa alone cannot give.
Can Vallor match invoices to contract terms?
Yes. Val compares Coupa invoice approvals and purchase orders to the pricing, discount, and payment clauses in the governing contract, and shows the source language behind any flag.
How long does the Coupa connection take?
The connector is pre-built, so most teams connect Coupa in minutes and start asking questions the same day.
Who usually owns a Coupa and Vallor rollout?
Procurement owns the spend and supplier side. Legal owns contract risk. Finance joins when rebates, payment terms, and leakage are in scope.
