Clearing go-live blockers for an education group on S/4HANA Public Cloud

Education group running 100+ schools · India

S/4HANA Cloud, public editionAdvisory

The need

The group was preparing to go live on SAP S/4HANA Cloud, public edition. Several requirements raised with its implementation partner could not be met and had become go-live blockers.

What we did

  • Assessed the feasibility of each blocking requirement in the public-cloud model
  • Ran an on-site workshop with the client's senior team and its implementation partner
  • Recommended workarounds for each gap and guided the partner through implementing them

The result

The recommendations were implemented and the group went live successfully. We were then brought in to support its S/4HANA finance requirements, and now run the full AMS.

SAP Business AI PlatformSAP Build Process AutomationDocument AI

The need

The company wanted to automate supplier invoice processing as part of its strategic improvement programme, targeting around 50,000 invoices a year that arrive as PDF email attachments.

What we did

  • Built the solution on SAP Build Process Automation on the SAP Business AI Platform
  • Extracted the fields needed for invoice entry from PDF attachments using an AI extraction service
  • Used the confidence score to decide the path: above 97%, a parked invoice is created in SAP automatically
  • Below 97%, a workflow routes the invoice to a user to check and correct the values before it is parked in SAP

The result

A working human-in-the-loop AI process, successfully demonstrated and now being scaled to more than 20 identified vendors. A practical first step towards autonomous finance.
