Automating delivery note processes
Digitising delivery notes
further streamlines a
business-critical process
Auto-matching
facilitates easy
receipting
Delivery notes are often of dismal quality. Still, they are working documents, required for the business process of receiving goods. In many countries they are also of legal importance which need to be held on file for several years.
That's why we'd like to simplify work down at the loading bay.
Relevant information extraction
Identifying the correct purchase order to establish things like the delivery date.
Early archiving
An electronic image will be instantly available wherever and whenever required.
Workflow support
Whenever further information is required, for instance in case of exceptions.
Complete overview
All the documents for the entire process are readily available through the same tool.
Here is how it works
- The delivery note is captured - ideally on entry to the organisation for best quality.
- Required fields are extracted.
- Data is transferred, a digital document created, and the image is archived electronically.
- The receiver can check the delivery physically and work on the scanned document which is archived and connected to the digital document.
- Focus is on quantity checks, goods quality and other relevant information.
- In case of exceptions, there might be a need for workflow inquiries in the organisation before the delivery note can be finally posted.
Scope
Simplification of the paperwork involved when receiving goods either in large quantities or within complex organisations.
Automation areas
All organisations with an SAP ERP.
