Touchless AP powered by Machine Learning and SAP Business Technology Platform

Automate invoice entry by digitally converting unstructured formats to structured. Enable the AP team to review and collaborate prior to invoice (PO, Non-PO) to SAP ERP or SAP S/4HANA using SAP Document information Extraction and Data Attribute Recommendation Services.

Benefits

  • Enable touchless invoice automation

    Reduce data entry by 100% by moving from manual to digitized processes. No more re-keying of invoice data entry, just automate the digitization of unstructured documents like PDF, bitmap, png, tiff, Factur-X, and ZUGFeRD to structured documents that get processed into SAP ERP or SAP S/4HANA.

  • Allow one-time invoicing with touchless operation

    Lowers total cost of ownership by setting up thresholds on confidence factors determined by SAP Document Extraction Service. Documents with confidence factors less than the threshold value are rejected and e-mail notifications are sent to Supplier and AP teams.

  • Enable electronic approval and acknowledgement

    Enhanced GR/IR functionality allows users to acknowledge invoices and take actions conveniently. Comments in the notes section are logged in SAP ERP, ensuring audit compliance. Streamlined processes reduce time and boost productivity.

  • Ensure timely review of invoices

    The solution facilitates on-time invoice review. Automating the documents received for OCR processing and recommendation of GL and Cost Center information for non-PO invoices with notification functionality for collaboration between team members enables real-time collaboration.
