SAP for Telecommunications provides support for key processes that enable you to capitalize on invoices, including:

• Billing – SAP solutions support pre-billing processes, such as mediation and event collection, as well as the rating and discounting of collected events and pre-bill aggregation. The solutions also enable the creation of convergent invoices, along with invoice presentment.
• Invoicing and presentment – With SAP solutions, you can enhance existing billing systems with convergent invoicing capabilities. You can create a single invoice that includes all products and services, including those provided by third parties, such as fixed-line and wireless, pay TV, Internet access, equipment rental, hardware sales, installation, and maintenance. SAP for Telecommunications allows you to easily offer cross-service discounts or bundle product offers without adapting existing service billing systems. By combining electronic bill presentment and payment with the solutions' receivables and collections management capabilities, you can put self-service functions on the Web and cut the cost of paper invoices.

Billing, invoicing, and presentment is enabled with SAP applications such as SAP ERP. To find out how SAP ERP can help you improve your billing, invoicing, and presentment, please complete the "Contact SAP" form and request information about enterprise resource planning.
