The invoice verification process is mapped outside of SAP. For this, supplier master data and order data must be delivered to the upstream system via csv files. The supplier invoices are then checked by the purchasing department and released to the SAP system for pre-entry in FI. The preliminary entry is mapped via a REST web service. An ALV list can be used to jump to the entered FI documents in order to post them completely in SAP.
Supplement
The supplier invoices are mainly captured via a scanning service provider. They are then also transferred to the DMS (document management system) as a PDF file. Enriched with the supplier master data and order data from SAP, the supplier invoices are now submitted to the specialist area for verification via a work-flow tool. A distinction must be made here between order-related and non-order-related supplier invoices. If a supplier invoice is checked as correct, it is to be pre-entered in SAP FI. In order to implement this process in quasi real-time, a REST web service was created in SAP as server-side programming. This service can be consumed by Yuuvis. After the supplier invoice has been pre-entered in FI, it can be fully posted via an ALV list. The ALV list can also be used for evaluation purposes.
Subject description
The majority of supplier invoices are not order-related. However, the processing of order-related supplier invoices via the logistical invoice verification also proved to be too complex; no goods receipts are posted. For this reason, it was decided that the complete invoice verification should be realised outside of SAP after the scanning process and with the filing of the supplier invoice in the form of a PDF file in the DMS (document management system). For this purpose, there is a workflow tool that requires the supplier master data and order data (only for order-related supplier invoices). On the Yuuvis side, a posting proposal is generated, which then leads to a pre-entry of a supplier invoice as an FI document via the consumption of a REST web service in SAP. This pre-entered FI document is then supplemented or adjusted in the SAP system by an ALV application and then finally posted in full.
