Automated invoice processing DIGITIZATION OF INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL PROCESSES FIS/edc implementation in order to master the high requirements for the invoice receipt workflow

Getinge SUCCESS STORY OF A CUSTOMER PROJECT

In the context of a template implementation, Getinge makes a changeover to SAP as a uniform ERP solution in its subsidiaries throughout the world. In this way, it was to be ensured that the increasing requirements for the invoice workflow will also be covered in the future.  Viewed in an international context, these requirements for invoice receipt processing are very different due to the different statutory requirements, which means that the solution must be flexibly adjustable in each case and multilingual. 

Implementing the FIS/edc solution in combination with the new SAP template makes the corporate group ready for the future. Already after connecting the first international subsidiaries, the processing times were considerably reduced.

Fiori app for invoice release FIS/edc, FIS/fci, FIS/xee

Moreover, Getinge wants to make the release processes even smarter through the implementation of a Fiori app by FIS. At the beginning of 2015, the SAP Netweaver Web dynpro as technology enabled releases on all terminals, which has been made ever since. Now, the use of the Fiori app is another significant step forward for Getinge. The FIS “Invoice receipt analysis” app gives a quick overview of how many invoices have been processed in a company code and the corresponding entry channel used. The app lists the number of incoming invoices and their distribution across the corresponding entry channel for each vendor. As a result, the user can see at a glance which vendor selects which entry channel and can derive the corresponding optimization measures with regard to progressing digitization.
