What Businesses Want To Know About SAP Ariba E-Invoicing
Can SAP Ariba support invoices from multiple suppliers?
Yes. SAP Ariba can manage supplier and procurement information across different business relationships. Advintek can process applicable supplier invoice data through configured electronic invoicing workflows, allowing businesses to handle relevant invoice records while maintaining their existing procurement processes.
What happens when supplier invoice information is incomplete?
Incomplete information can be identified during configured invoice checks before electronic processing continues. Advintek can flag relevant data gaps, allowing finance teams to review and correct the affected information before the invoice proceeds through the applicable electronic invoicing workflow.
Can purchase orders be referenced during invoice processing?
Yes. Relevant purchase order information can provide additional context when processing supplier invoices. Where the required data is available in SAP Ariba, Advintek can incorporate applicable purchasing information into the configured workflow to support invoice preparation and associated validation activities.
Does SAP Ariba need to change its procurement workflow?
Not necessarily. SAP Ariba can continue supporting established supplier and procurement activities while Advintek handles the connected electronic invoicing layer. This approach allows businesses to introduce structured invoice processing without making the invoicing function responsible for replacing existing procurement processes.
Can invoice responses be connected to supplier transactions?
Available processing responses can be associated with the relevant supplier invoice and procurement information. This helps finance teams maintain greater context around processed documents, review outcomes, identify items requiring attention, and follow invoice activity back to the associated SAP Ariba records.
