Many repetitive tasks in invoice processing can be automated - using artificial intelligence to help control work steps in invoice verification and provide decision support. Generative AI (GenAI) and intelligent agents are now driving further progress.
Invoice processing is already highly digitized today. Artificial intelligence is now providing an additional boost: rule-based workflows are increasingly being supplemented by self-learning systems. The aim is to achieve a higher degree of automation—without completely replacing tried-and-tested processes.
Companies are increasingly faced with the challenge of designing their ERP systems to be cost-efficient, innovative and sustainable. The clean core approach offers a structural solution to this by reducing individual adjustments to a necessary minimum and thus realizing significant business advantages.
SAP's clean core strategy reduces maintenance costs and improves system stability. Companies need to check which adaptations are necessary and which can be replaced by standards. SAP BTP enables flexible extensions and future-proof integrations.
No two SAP systems are the same. Over the years (and now decades), user companies have made thousands and thousands of adaptations to their ERP solutions in order to meet the individual requirements of their specialist departments - commonly known as user exits.
With the new invoice workflow for SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Public Edition on SAP BTP, xSuite Group opens up new areas of application in P2P workflow.
The "GROW with SAP" program promotes the shift of business processes to the S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition. Suitable solutions for this are offered by the xSuite Group

Companies that put off urgently needed young talent by using manual processes and outdated software—particularly in accounting—are shooting themselves in the foot.
Now that many companies have begun digitizing and automating their incoming invoice processing, they are facing the next steps. How can business processes in purchasing and accounting be further automated? Four fields of action are emerging.
Anyone who still e-mails invoices as PDF attachments will soon be saying goodbye to them. The future belongs to e-invoicing, which will render PDFs redundant.
The vast majority of SAP user companies will continue to put off the switch to S/4 Hana in 2022 - according to the results of xSuite's current customer survey.

Working on the SAP basis is crucial for successful S/4 conversion. 

This gives the Competence Center strategic importance for existing SAP customers. Regardless of the S/4 Hana operating model, topics such as Automation, Monitoring, Security, Application Lifecycle Management and Data Management the basis for S/4 operations.

For the second time, E3 magazine is organizing a summit for the SAP community in Salzburg to provide comprehensive information on all aspects of S/4 Hana groundwork.
