Enable visibility of invoices above and beyond the organization. SAP software lets you share accounts payable (AP) information across internal silos and external firewalls. With a clearer picture of upcoming liabilities, you can identify opportunities to leverage excess cash or fine tune early payment dynamic discounting programs. Invoice transparency also helps reduce the supplier inquiries that pull your AP people away from their core activities.

We are overwhelmed by the approximately 350,000 calls we receive each year. . . . 50% of them are to check if we received an invoice and when it will be paid. Fortune 500 global payments director quoted in Ardent Partners, “ePayables 2013: AP's New Dawn,” May 2013.

Make AP a strategic contributor instead of a back-office processor. Reduce leakage and capture savings by connecting invoices with other financial processes. This integration reduces or eliminates hiccups in the supply chain by allowing your suppliers to be paid promptly and accurately. Dynamic discounting tools give real-time visibility of available discounts so you can reduce profit leakage caused by missed opportunities.
