How Stampli solves common accounts payable challenges in SAP ECC
Stampli enables enterprises to streamline AP without modifying their SAP implementation or their corporate structure. This is enabled through a number of innovative capabilities, including:
Navigation
The SAP menu design organizes related functions into separate sections, adding complexity to tasks that involve manual menu navigation or the use of T-codes for quicker access. Stampli offers an intuitive, single-screen interface that enhances user experience, removing T-code dependency.
Invoice processing
SAP differentiates invoice sections for PO-backed and expense invoices, which requires navigation between the two for invoice processing. Stampli provides a single filterable view for all invoice and expense types.
Communications
While SAP’s workflow organizes departments distinctly, this can challenge AP’s access to information as it creates silos. Stampli’s facilitates interdepartmental communication on top of the digital invoice, thereby streamlining information flow, accountability, and context.
PO matching
SAP requires a dual-screen approach for matching invoices to POs, involving multiple documents and a need to navigate through several sub-tabs for accurate matching. Stampli enables PO-to-invoice matching without the extensive clicking and or the need for multiple screens.
Reporting
Finance personnel are required to build custom views for AP to access reports in SAP. Stampli provides readily accessible reports with built-in analytics and visibility into invoices, employee productivity, and AP processes.
Workflows
SAP’s structured system is designed for consistency, so it often requires consultants or IT support to update workflows when processes change. While Stampli also provides fixed workflows, customers can opt for dynamic workflows powered by AI and machine learning that automatically learn your processes and make adjustments upon changes, which reduces the dependency on workflow customizations.
Unexpected charges
Businesses that use POs commonly need to add additional fees depending on certain freight and delivery criteria. Stampli supports this functionality to give you the flexibility to add expenses as needed.
Multiple suppliers on one PO
Some SAP-powered businesses will have POs filled by multiple vendors. Stampli makes the PO available as many times as required, based on which lines are tied to which vendors.
True 3-way matching
Sometimes a vendor and a customer will use different units of measurement. Stampli enables AP teams to match received amounts and invoice amounts regardless if the vendor uses the same unit of measure as the business uses for their inventory.
