Many SAP users link local PC files to SAP documents. In addition, many outgoing documents are generated by the SAP system.
The table in which attachments and generated documents are stored (the table SOFFCONT1) can take up to 25% of the total database. When looking at the cost of storage in an SAP HANA environment, a reduction of the database can realize significant cost savings.
As annual tradition, SAP rewarded the collaboration with its partners by presenting the SAP Partner Awards. Prizes were awarded to those who have delivered exceptional performance in the past year. This year, Avelon made it through to the finals for the "SAP Service Partner of the year" award. Of course, we are extremely proud of that!
Due to the growth of the organisation, Wavin needed a more robust and comprehensive solution for the management of master data. With SAP Master Data Governance (MDG), Wavin and SAP partner Avelon are laying the foundation for a Master Data Hub where all master data are centrally consolidated and stored.
In the week of 2 to 6 November 2020, VNSG renamed its traditional annual congress VNSG Focus Online. Avelon contributed to this event. In our session, the importance of master data management and data quality was discussed. Explained was how SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) helps to increase data and process quality in your IT landscape.
Proper implementation, optimization and management of SAP Invoice Management (SIM) requires specific knowledge.
Utrecht University therefore called on the expertise of Avelon. "The processing of incoming invoices is now excellent," says Rob Plattèl, director of the Administrative Service Centre (ASC) of Utrecht University.
Avelon considers SAP Master Data Governance as one of its focus areas.
In this blog we focus specifically on SAP Master Data Governance for Financials (MDG-F). SAP MDG-F is SAP's standard solution for centrally managing financial master data such as cost centers, cost center groups, cost types, cost elements etc.
The SAP Fiori Launchpad is the starting point for SAP Fiori apps. Since 2016 it has been possible to consume SAP Fiori from the SAP Cloud Platform via the SAP Fiori Cloud Edition. In Q4 2020 a new option will be added for setting up a SAP Fiori Launchpad, namely the SAP Cloud Platform Launchpad. In this blog we will discuss this new functionality and why it has been introduced.
For many organizations, processing incoming invoices is a costly and often manual process. OpenText has developed Vendor Invoice Management (VIM), also known as SAP Invoice Management (SIM), to solve these problems and to professionalize invoice processing.
OpenText offers various Fiori applications to support the SAP Invoice Management processes.
SAP (Business) workflow is the technical foundation of process optimization within both SAP ECC and S/4HANA. In recent years, SAP has developed various complementary tools that are grouped as Intelligent Business Process Management. In this blog various components are discussed such as SAP Workflow, SAP Cloud Platform Workflow, SAP Chatbots, SAP Intelligent RPA and SAP Cloud Platform Process Visibility.
Recently, OpenText presented the latest developments in SAP Invoice Management and SAP Digital Content Processing at the "Partner Deep Dive". Because of COVID-19, the planned meeting in Munich was changed to a very interesting 2-day virtual session.
In the first part of the blog "Increase your productivity by using chatbots" an introduction on chatbots was discussed. In this blog, the technical aspects of a chatbot and SAP Conversational AI (SAP CAI) are discussed in more detail.
With 35 representatives from more than 20 different companies using SAP Invoice Management, Friday 31 January 2020 was another successful SIM Customer Day.
Master data management is clearly one of THE topics in current IT and business related issues. Operational excellence is only achieved with consistent master data. SAP Master Data Governance can help you with this. Read more in this blog.
Early 2018 SAP announced the acquisition of Recast.AI. This enables SAP to offer a platform with which applications and software can be developed. The platform uses Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Machine Learning (ML) to understand natural language. SAP offers this technology under the name SAP Conversational AI (CAI) and the most appealing application is the development of so-called chatbots.
Visit our stand at the Connect to Innovate event on 2 October 2019. We would like to tell you about optimizing the Procure to Pay process, SAP Invoice Management, SAP Master Data Governance and Fiori!
If you want to improve or simplify SAP's User Experience, SAP offers various solutions. Often heard and used are SAP Fiori UI5 apps. Another option is SAP Screen Personas, where a custom User Interface layer (Flavor) is placed over existing transaction screens. When should which technique be used?
On 10 May 2019, the first three of our colleagues achieved OpenText Vendor Invoice Management 7.5 certification. All three have passed the certification exam and may now call themselves Certified Consultant for Vendor Invoice Management 7.5.
In order to be able to use Fiori applications, there are requirements regarding the SAP system landscape. The most important requirement is that a front-end server is available. Until recently this role was fulfilled by a SAP NetWeaver Gateway system. Since mid-2016 it is also possible to consume SAP Fiori from the SAP Cloud Platform. In this blog we will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the on-premise scenario versus the SAP Cloud scenario with regard to SAP Fiori.
Enterprise software needs to adapt easily to rapidly changing environments. You think that adapting the user interface of SAP Fiori apps (e.g. by adding, hiding or rearranging fields) is complex? UI Adaptation at Runtime (RTA) offers the possibility of upgrade-safe and modification-free user interface changes.
The VNSG Focus Group Workflow Management, together with SAP Development, is organising an informative afternoon on Wednesday 17 April 2019 about the latest developments in the field of SAP Workflow.
