4.2 Move to Production (MTP)

Revised: 11 August 2022

Overview

Move to Production is the final step prior to Go-Live once design, configuration and integration validations are complete.  There should be 2-3 weeks planned for MTP activities prior to go-live to allow adequate time to complete configuration and integrations set up in Coupa production, enable production supplier connections and also carry out prerequisite tasks in customer's other internal systems connected to Coupa.
