Incoming document entry system: Support and further development 2015
Project duration: 1 year
Brief description
In 2015, the incoming document entry system was developed further based on the legal specifications (including introduction of the energy efficiency law in Austria) and new requirements. Another focus is on developing an option for relieving the workload on key users when it comes to plausibility checks of incoming documents.
Supplement
Support for the incoming document entry system includes overcoming current productive, technical and functional problems. This is done via database changes (SQL) or code changes (.Net C#) to the application in coordination with the specialist departments. Due to changes in the law regarding energy trading or because of modifications to neighboring systems with which the application communicates, further development also takes place in addition to the support activities.
Subject description
The existing incoming document entry system is an application for entering and validating supplier incoming documents (invoices, dunnings, discounts). Posting data is forwarded to SAP via an interface and consumption data is transferred to a controlling system. As a further development, recording of tasks for the energy efficiency law in Austria is introduced. Checking the plausibility of the recorded incoming documents represents a major expenditure of time and effort for key users. To relieve their workload, options are created for performing a prior partial plausibility check of documents by the document data entry clerk. In addition, the existing plausibility checks are reviewed and adjusted where performance weaknesses are identified. For the Austrian market, electronic invoices are also to be transferred in accordance with the requirements of e-control for the gas sector.
