FousLockheed Martin Procure to Pay

Pull your LMP2P invoices and payments into your systems

Read open purchase orders, invoice statuses and the Paid invoices report from the LM eInvoicing Application with one API call each. A workflow can check your invoices after the overnight status update and post new payments to your accounting system.

Automate LMP2P with a workflow

A workflow runs your methods as one process, with nobody at the screen. A schedule or a call from your own system starts it, the steps run in order, and the result arrives in your inbox or in the systems you already use.

  • Invoice statuses after the overnight update

    Build this
    Starts
    Every weekday at 8:00 Eastern Time
    Step 1
    For each invoice number in your list, check its status and scheduled to pay date.
    Step 2
    Keep the invoices whose status changed since the last run, Rejected first.
    Step 3
    Email you the list with invoice number, PO number, status, amount and scheduled to pay date.
  • Yesterday's payments, posted to your accounting system

    Build this
    Starts
    Every weekday at 9:00 Eastern Time
    Step 1
    Get the Paid invoices report for yesterday's date.
    Step 2
    Stop when it has no payments.
    Step 3
    Post pay ID, invoice or reference number, PO number, adjustment amount and amount paid to your ERP webhook.
  • New purchase orders ready to invoice

    Build this
    Starts
    Every weekday at 7:00 Eastern Time
    Step 1
    List the open purchase orders in the LM eInvoicing Application.
    Step 2
    Keep the POs that were not there on the last run, and leave out lines marked ERS-only.
    Step 3
    Email you each new PO with its lines, quantities and values.

You can run a workflow by hand on every plan, Free included. Schedules and webhook triggers come with the paid plans, from $29 a month.

Once built, one call from your code

Once you have built a method, it is one POST to /v1/runs from your backend, or a tool an AI agent calls over MCP. This is what “List open purchase orders” would look like.

Example request
curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "portal.exostar.com/list_open_purchase_orders",
    "input": {
      "po_number": null
    }
  }'
Example response
{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "purchase_orders": [
      {
        "po_number": "7300418265",
        "lines": [
          {
            "line": 1,
            "description": "Bracket, machined, aluminum 6061",
            "quantity": 120,
            "value": 8640,
            "ers_only": false,
            "remaining": 4320
          }
        ]
      }
    ],
    "count": 1
  }
}

An example with invented data, not a ready-made endpoint. The method exists in your organization once you build it, and its name, inputs and fields follow your request.

Signing in to LMP2P

LMP2P is reached through Exostar's Managed Access Gateway: your email address or user ID, then your credential, with two-step verification before the LM eInvoicing Application opens. Company credentials and badges or certificates are also accepted. With Fous you sign in once through Exostar's own sign-in with your own account, and the login is sealed with AES-256 and never returned by the API or written to logs.

Worth knowing

3 pm Eastern cut-off, statuses change overnight
Invoices submitted after 3 pm EST are picked up the next business day, and invoice statuses update overnight. Purchase orders in the application are also updated every evening, so a morning run sees the newest data.
Never invoice ERS lines
Lines marked ERS-only belong to ERS orders, and invoices should never be submitted against them. ERS invoice numbers are typically 10 digits starting with 52.
A submitted invoice cannot be changed
Only drafts can be edited. To undo a wrong invoice you open a ticket asking Lockheed Martin to reject it, and the funds return to the PO, typically the next business day.
No emails for payments or submissions
Lockheed Martin sends no payment notifications and no email when an invoice is submitted. You see it in the application: the status moves from Draft to Received, and payments appear in the Paid invoices report.

Frequently asked questions

Only for sending invoices. Direct Commerce, which runs the LM eInvoicing Application, offers automatic invoice file transfer over FTP and HTTPS to suppliers with more than 50 invoices a month. Open purchase orders, invoice statuses and payments are read in the application or its reports.

Use Advanced Search in the LM eInvoicing Application with the invoice number, or open the Paid invoices report from the PAID link. For remittance details, search for the pay ID, a 10-digit number in the 2000 series. The scheduled to pay date shows when an unpaid invoice is due to be paid.

Statuses update overnight, so an invoice submitted in the morning stays Received until the next business day. Invoices submitted after 3 pm EST are picked up the next business day, and on a Friday that means Monday.

Yes. Lockheed Martin offers an LM eInvoicing View Only role that does not need two-factor authentication. It shows invoice and payment status and the Supplier Paid and Unpaid/Pending reports for any date range, but cannot create invoices or open the LMP2P Portal.

No. Fous is an independent product. You use it with your own Exostar account, and a method reads and does only what that account can.
