FIS awarded SAP Focus Partner of the Year 2023

FIS received the “Retail & Consumer Products - Partner of the Year 2023” award at this year’s SAP Diamond Initiative. This makes FIS an SAP focus partner and demonstrates its own expertise in all aspects of SAP solutions.

The FIS Group has strongly focused its business strategy on SAP and predominantly to the area of technology in the cloud. The commitment of FIS and the expertise developed was recognised at the 2023 SAP Diamond Initiative. FIS outperformed other SAP value added partners asserted and was awarded as “Partner of the Year” for “Retail & Consumer Products”.

FIS has built up a great deal of expertise, especially when it comes to the SAP S/4HANA solution and has developed its own technology solutions based on the SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP). The technology solutions include:

  • FIS / fci (OCR document data reader) – for extracting the key data from a digitised document such as an invoice or sales order with minimal human effort.
  • FIS / edc (invoice monitor) – for posting invoices automatically into SAP ERP when they meet specific criteria (i.e. quantity and amount matching) and automatically forwarding payment exempt invoices to the correct teams and individuals.
  • FIS / mpm (master data and price management) – an SAP integrated tool for bulk uploads of data into SAP and a compliant method of adding new or creating new data in SAP.

In addition, FIS / TradeFlex enables the seamless connection of online marketplaces to order-to-cash and returns processes from a single application.

Automated Sales Order Creation

00HomeTop, Products, SAP Invoice ProcessingTags: , , , , ,

Automated Sales Order Creation in SAP 

Sales Orders creation can be automated by eliminating data-entry of customer order data. Data is checked in the document monitor before sales orders are created. Exceptions are managed in the SAP integrated monitor before posting.
 

Sales Order Processing

Sales Order Creation - Highlights and Benefits

Automating sales order creation in SAP can be achieved by combining a number of technologies. 

FIS technologies reduce manual tasks and ease time pressure on the accounts receivables team.

As a result, the administration burden is reduced, as the process of sales order creation is made more economically.

Automatic Data Extraction - no data entry

Sales orders can be received electronically (EDI), in paper form or as an email attachment.

The key data from a customer order is extracted automatically via the FIS OCR document reader. The data is checked for potential errors before transferring  the order information to the integrated sales order monitor.

Sales Order Creation within SAP

The integrated matching process and data enrichment functions are tasked with directly converting a customer order into an SAP sales order with or without reference to a quotation or contract.

With the creation of the sales orders, additional supply chain functions such as order confirmation, shipping notification, goods issue and billing document are triggered automatically.

Customer orders that do not pass the plausibility checks successfully can be viewed by the accounts receivable team in the sales order monitor.

Functional description

  • Automated sales orders creation in SAP (paper, email or EDI data records)
  • Overview of all inquiries and purchase orders received
  • OCR image or EDI data visualisation as a PDF form
  • Full integration in SAP with all order processing functionalities
  • Quick error analysis with intelligent message logs
  • Direct communication with integrated mail system

For organisations wishing to

  • Automate sales order creation in SAP and therefore make financial and time savings 
  • Reduce the degree of manual keying and administration tasks within the current process
  • Make digital transformations within their current processes

Alternative to

  • Standard SAP ERP
  • Physical movement of financial documents
  • Manual keying of order data with no validation checks
  • Printing and scanning emailed sales order attachments

Further Benefits

  • Higher productivity of accounts receivable teams with more functions presented in a familiar SAP standard GUI
  • Software is Integrated with SAP but with no need for modifications to SAP ERP standard - quick enhancement pack and upgrade changes
  • Data stored once in SAP database - no data exchanges with external software
  • Efficient interrogation tools for exceptions and query management
  • High financial return on investment
  • Accounts receivable team directed to more value-added work as FIS / edc automates labour intensive tasks

FIS SST case study 4 – Recruitment Portal

00Services

Nearshoring Services for an Employment Agency

Case Study: Nearshoring Services for an Employment Agency

FIS SST assisted employment agency Silesia Personnel, with a hosted, secure and centralized access portal to candidate information

CNC machine tool operator

 Introduction

The owners of an established employment agency, Silesia Personnel, were primarily focused on the recruitment of candidates with engineering expertise (CNC machine operators, welders, electricians etc.) The agency encountered a recurring issue in the demand for new placements.

They found that the demand for engineers was consistently lower at the end of the week compared to the beginning of the week. The in-house team at the employment agency were tasked with finding the availability and qualifications of the candidates. The company had five regional offices.

The candidate information was accessible partially on paper records and partially on an electronic database of candidates. Each of the five offices had their own separate database.


FIS SST Solution

Silesia had concerns regarding developing a solution from scratch. However, lower application development costs in Poland led Silesia to give the go-ahead with nearshoring services from FIS SST for a tailored application from scratch.

The project followed a typical SCRUM methodology:

·       Collect requirements and ranked them according to priorities

·       After a few months FIS SST created a pilot version (a business portal with access to candidates and archive documents) in one of the branches

·        Implementation of new modules progressed in parallel. The launch of the new enhancements was scheduled at intervals over several months

·        After eight months in development, the management decided to rollout the application to all other branch locations

FIS SST provided the server infrastructure. The model proved to be so attractive for Silesia that FIS SST created a hosted environment for the application. FIS SST provided all resources and server infrastructure in a SaaS model.

The FIS SST nearshoring team managed the entire process from gathering requirements, design, development and implementation. The entire project was completed in less than 9 months.

Outcome

FIS SST nearshoring services created a business portal for Silesia Personnel which provided a centralized and secure alternative to disparate software and paper records at each office location. The portal was accessible by both office based employees as well as field staff and provided access to all available candidate information and their availability for employment.
