The purpose of the Business Process Work Group (BPWG) is to develop business process guidelines (BPG) to support oil and gas industry eBusiness initiatives. Since April 2004, BPWG has focused primarily on issues related to the Order-to-Pay process.

In addition to Order-to-Pay lifecycle issues, BPWG provides a forum for the industry to develop business process standards. The BPWG is working with industry health, safety and environmental professionals to develop a transaction message to transmit health, safety & environmental data. BPWG also assists other PIDX work groups as requested. BPWG operates under the direction of the PIDX Standards and Guidelines Committee.
