Invoice Processing by OpenText (1LE)
Invoice Processing by OpenText enables SAP S/4HANA Cloud to extend the procure-to-pay process by incorporating both an automated invoice document recognition solution and a supplier invoice creation solution.
The solutions are seamlessly incorporated into the existing invoice verification functionality. The invoice – based on the electronic document – is either automatically posted or – if a draft invoice is created – the data is extracted from the attachment. The accounts payable accountant selects the draft invoice from the supplier invoice list to complete the invoice posting.
For a complete list of countries/regions and languages that are supported with Invoice Processing by OpenText, see the set-up instructions.
