Aliaxis: Navigating operational
challenges while enhancing global
efficiency
Aliaxis Holdings S.A. is a global leader in advanced plastic piping systems, offering
innovative, durable, and sustainable solutions for the construction, industrial, and
infrastructure sectors. Headquartered in Belgium, it operates in more than 40 countries
while prioritizing quality, efficiency, and environmental responsibility.
The company uses SAP solutions to achieve better visibility and control over its
operations. Financial management tools help it maintain accurate and compliant financial
records, enabling more-strategic decision-making and resource allocation. Recently,
Aliaxis’ IT team faced a complex cross-functional issue that could potentially complicate
its manual account-clearing efforts, so the company looked for a way to resolve it
promptly.

Before: Challenges and opportunities
• Finance team experiencing significant reconciliation and clearing issues in its freight clearing account
due to differences between goods receipt and invoice receipt amounts of service purchase orders for
freight accruals
• Manual clearing of these differences to the profit-and-loss statement inconsistent with the original
freight cost allocation document that included many profitability analysis characteristics
Why SAP
• Business add-in for freight settlement processes in the SAP Transportation Management (SAP TM)
application to post a subsequent freight cost allocation document based on original freight accruals
with relevant profitability analysis characteristics
• SAP Enterprise Support advisory team, providing Aliaxis’ IT team with expertise in SAP TM to clarify
findings and help solve follow-up issues in freight clearing in a timely manner
After: Value-driven results
• Analyzed historical cases and assessed cross-functional impact for transportation, logistics, and finance
• Rectified a copy control problem during initial testing and conducted comprehensive testing in
internal standard systems
• Provided a consolidated solution with a functional implementation overview, exact configuration
confirmation, and step-by-step remediation guide
• Removed the need to manually clear differences in the freight clearing account
