Services and indirect spend leakages (2-5% of spend) occur because payments are processed without matching contractual clauses or service delivery evidence like job cards.

Popular ERPs like SAP handle goods receipt matching well (3-way match) but lack robust validation for services and indirect spend categories like freight, IT, maintenance, and contract labor.
