Comment: Proof of Concept

What is traditionally a time-consuming and error-prone task for employees can now be performed by intelligent software. The Tangro OC (Order Confirmation) and DA (Despatch Advice) solutions process order confirmations and despatch advices automatically - with a comprehensive range of services for text recognition, interpretation, validation and posting of document content in SAP. Thanks to the Tangro low-code platform, these solutions could be developed as customized software for the specific processing procedure in just a few weeks. 

Let's take a closer look at shipping notification processing and look in detail at the significant efficiency improvements that a suitable solution for processing these business documents in purchasing can bring. Tangro DA recognizes all relevant header and item data of the business document and checks it against the underlying order data in SAP. If the content is correct, the document can be posted directly to SAP with a single click. Fully automatic processing in the background is also possible as an option. 

If there is a need for clarification, the workflows are electronically controlled. The solution automatically suggests the appropriate contact person. If feedback is not received, a reminder function is activated by the system.

Manual typing is completely eliminated and data entry errors are no longer an issue. Tedious checking and tedious follow-up are also a thing of the past. The purchasing department has a complete overview of current goods receipts at all times.

All processed shipping notifications are listed in the inbox with the current document status. If additions or corrections are required, the central screen facilitates post-processing. Discrepancies and deviations from deadlines or quantities can be seen immediately thanks to visual warning indicators. Employees can see at a glance which content needs to be checked and where data may need to be adjusted. 

As Tangro solutions are always embedded in SAP ERP/ECC 6.0 or S/4 Hana, the processor can access the SAP master and transaction data directly at any time. Double-clicking on the order number or supplier takes you directly to the relevant SAP transaction. 

Thanks to electronic archiving, the documents can also be researched and viewed at any time via SAP index data. This allows queries to be answered quickly and searches to be carried out with little effort. 

Thanks to an interface that looks like the familiar SAP environment, no lengthy training is required. Employees quickly become familiar with the solution.

With Tangro DA, employees can concentrate fully on their core tasks while the software solution takes care of document processing.
