Ticked off the e-invoice? That was the easy part: it's structured and machine-readable. The rest of your inbox isn't. Purchase orders, delivery notes, and payment advices are still typed in by hand. In 30 minutes over lunch, we'll show you exactly where to find your first AI use cases.

With the e-invoice, you've digitalized one document type. On average, a company works with around ten. The rest arrives as PDFs, scans, or email text and only reaches SAP through manual typing. That's exactly where AI pays off, because unstructured documents are its strength. In 30 minutes, you'll learn how to spot and evaluate such use cases in your own organization.
Classic document recognition needed templates, training data, and its own project for every document type. Every new supplier format meant starting over.
Today's AI understands the structure and content of a document, even when every sender uses their own format. New document types no longer need a development project.
Every use case follows the same pattern: document comes in, AI reads and checks it, posting goes into SAP. Uncertain cases land in a review queue. The payoff: time, accuracy, and speed.
Advices in any format are read out and matched against open items, including the long tail that standard tools leave behind.
Your benefit: open items cleared faster, less manual searching, cleaner books.
PDF purchase orders and email text become customer orders: fields extracted, validated, created as a sales order in S/4HANA.
Your benefit: orders in the system faster, shorter lead times, happier customers.
Delivery notes are read out and matched to the goods receipt: quantities and line items checked, posting prepared.
Your benefit: goods receipt without manual typing, fewer stock discrepancies, faster availability.
And the incoming invoice? You've got that covered with the e-invoice. Everything that comes after is where it gets interesting.
We work according to the Human-Centered Approach to Innovation from the SAP AppHaus Network. In the explore phase, we first look at where your teams lose time every day, prioritize document types by effort and benefit, and start with the most promising one. In the Plico Webinar, we'll show this approach using the three processes. plico, our AI-powered document recognition for SAP, serves as the example.
