2 Different Integration types

• Simple integration – (2-3 months per company code)

Allows very low IT requirements (2 files), allows for use of Workflow functionality for approval, compliance and invoice retrieval. All invoices are still manually input into ERP’s

• Full Integration (5-7 months per company code)

High IT requirements (14 Files), allows for accounting validation, automated PO matching, and Automated vouchering in addition to approval workflows, and invoice retrieval


Implementation Strategy

• North America – started with Simple Integration among 6 BU’s, for rapid win to get all invoices in a shareable workflow tool, with invoice approval and tracking, 8 months later moved into Full integration for 2 primary ERP systems. Remained on simple integration for smaller ERP’s or ERP’s that were being upgraded within 18 months.

• Europe – Started with Full integration for ERP systems in which already had Full integration interfaces in the US, and for Remained on simple integration for smaller ERP’s or ERP’s that were being upgraded within 18 months.


Was it worth it?

• Short answer is “Yes”

– Improved Customer Service, accountability, paid on time, compliance

– Improved Productivity

– Standardized processes and eased cross training

– Availability of data and transparency


Are we there yet?

• Continuous improvement needed

– Still need to work on implementing/expanding additional functionality (i.e. automated coding, increased e-invoicing adoption, improved supplier matching, etc.)

– Still have IT interface issues due to our complex and decentralized IT landscape.
