Heineken optimises approval of incoming invoices
After extensive research, Heineken chose the Avelon Fiori Invoice Approval app for approving incoming supplier invoices.
Invoices must be approved within Heineken as soon as possible. This helps to reduce overall handling time and avoid potential disruptions. Invoice processing is often done by employees who do not work all day in SAP. As a result, they often find handling via the SAP GUI difficult, cumbersome and therefore not user-friendly. This stands in the way of fast processing.
Avelon's Fiori Invoice Approval app makes it easy to process invoices anywhere. All invoices to be processed including the relevant details, the PDF version of the invoice and possible follow-up actions are clearly presented. Previously handled invoices including their status and history can also be accessed. At Heineken, the Fiori app is integrated with the SAP Invoice Management functionality of OpenText.
On 1 April 2018, the app went live for HGP (Heineken Global Procurement) and the Heineken brewery in Poland. For the rest of this year the implementation of the app is planned on one of Heineken's largest central SAP systems. In this central system SAP Invoice Management is currently used by 13 operating companies in as many different countries. At a later stage, it is the intention to provide this functionality to the non-centrally managed SAP systems as well.
