AI as rocket fuel for automated document processing
In an era where digitalization and efficiency are key, fast invoice processing is no longer enough. Organizations want full control over all documents across the value chain, from purchase to payment. With Beyond Invoice, OpenText Vendor Invoice Management (VIM)enables a shift from classic invoice automation to comprehensive Vendor Document Management (VDM).
Where VIM was primarily used as an invoice automation engine, Beyond Invoice goes a lot further. It focuses on centrally managing, processing, and linking all vendor documents within SAP. The power of Beyond Invoice is further strengthened by the latest developments in Core Capture and AI. The result: document processing that's not only more efficient, but increasingly intelligent and self-learning. Together, they act as rocket fuel for scalable, future-proof process automation.
For existing VIM users, Beyond Invoice is the logical next step: a powerful, integrated platform for end-to-end process automation within SAP. For new customers, Beyond Invoice offers a strong starting point: a future-ready solution with integrated VIM functionality, ready for immediate deployment.
What is OpenText VIM?
OpenText Vendor Invoice Management (VIM) is a powerful ABAP add-on for SAP ECC and SAP S/4HANA that automatically digitizes, validates, and processes incoming invoices. When exceptions occur, documents are routed to the appropriate users via workflows. From receipt to approval and posting: VIM reduces manual work, shortens processing times, and increases transparency and compliance.
VIM is beschikbaar in zowel de klassieke SAP GUI als de moderne SAP Fiori-interface, die een consistente, webgebaseerde gebruikersinterface biedt en de adoptie door eindgebruikers versnelt.
From Vendor Invoice Management (VIM) to Vendor Document Management (VDM)
Modern financial processes involve more than just invoices. Organizations handle a wide range of vendor documents every day, directly impacting procurement, logistics, and finance processes.
Beyond Invoice lets users process several types of documents, including:
- - Order confirmations
- - Delivery notes and goods receipts
- - Sales orders and payment statements
- - HR-related documents
Documents are automatically recognized, extracted, and linked to the correct SAP processes. For example, a goods receipt can be directly matched to the corresponding purchase order without manual input. The result: a single integrated, digital document flow, enabling end-to-end traceability across the entire procure-to-pay and order-to-cash lifecycle.
Why is Beyond Invoice important?
- 1. Complete document coverage: No more fragmented document streams, but a cohesive whole embedded in your core business processes.
- 2. Fewer errors, greater efficiency: Many organizations still require users to manually register, retype, or store documents outside SAP alongside VIM. Beyond Invoice ensures fully automated document recognition, processing, and matching. This means shorter cycle times, lower costs, and fewer errors.
- 3. Greater control and compliance: All data and documents are centrally stored and governed. This provides real-time insight, improved collaboration between Finance, Procurement, and Supply Chain, and a solid foundation for compliance and auditability.
Beyond Invoice as the foundation for digital growth
Beyond Invoice lays the foundation for integrated document and process automation. The latest developments in OpenText Core Capture make this foundation even more powerful:
- Automatische profielcreatie: documenten herkennen met minder handmatig werk
- Slimme herkenning van complexe en mobiel gescande documenten
- Verbeterde verwerking van handgeschreven tekst via Google Vision OCR
- Hogere capture-accuracy door gebruik van historische data, waardoor het systeem leert van eerdere documenten en boekingen.
AI optimaliseert de verwerking van elk document en verhoogt continu de kwaliteit en betrouwbaarheid van het proces. Zo ontstaat een schaalbaar fundament voor verdere digitalisering.
Wat Beyond Invoice voor jouw organisatie betekent
Beyond Invoice is geen uitbreiding van VIM, maar de volgende stap in de evolutie van documentgedreven processen binnen SAP. Het transformeert traditionele factuurverwerking tot een volledig geïntegreerd Vendor Document Management (VDM)-platform waarin alle leveranciersdocumenten automatisch worden herkend, gekoppeld en verwerkt. Voor organisaties betekent dit: meer controle, lagere kosten en een toekomstbestendig proces dat Finance, Inkoop en Supply Chain naadloos verbindt.
