Automated invoice posting public cloud

Hello everyone,

We have a lot of invoices for leased vehicles, bicycle leasing, mobile phone bills and AIRPLUS invoices in our company. These are always provided each month in a folder as an XML file. What options are there in the public cloud to get these invoices into the system automatically? (recurring bookings and similar would not be feasible as there are different amounts each month and there would have to be over 700 bookings)

Many thanks in advance

    Hello, there are several ways you can implement automated invoice processing in the public cloud with SAP software. Here are some options you might consider: 1. SAP S/4HANA Cloud: SAP S/4HANA Cloud offers built-in financial process automation capabilities, including automated invoice posting. Using the SAP API Business Hub offers various integration scenarios to process XML data directly or import it via existing interfaces. You can also use SAP Intelligent Robotic Process Automation (IRPA) to automate invoice processing. 2. SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP): The SAP Business Technology Platform (formerly known as SAP Cloud Platform) allows you to develop integration scenarios that are specifically tailored to your requirements. For example, you could develop an application that reads XML files from a cloud storage (such as SAP HANA Cloud or Google Cloud Storage), processes the data and then feeds it into your SAP S/4HANA system via OData or RESTful APIs. 3. Ariba Network: When it comes to invoice processing, the Ariba Network offers solutions for electronic invoice exchange and invoice process automation that can be integrated directly into your SAP environment. 4 Use of third-party tools: There are also a variety of third-party tools and services that integrate with SAP and support invoice processing. Tools such as ReadSoft, OpenText or other specialized document processing providers offer robust solutions for automatic data extraction and processing. 5. Custom Development: Another approach would be to develop a customized solution that is tailored to your exact needs. This could be done via SAP Cloud Application Programming Model, which allows you to develop a full-stack application on SAP BTP that is specifically designed to process and post your invoices. To find the best solution for your specific requirements, I recommend a detailed requirements analysis and possibly a consultation with an SAP partner who has experience in implementing financial process automation. Depending on the complexity of the invoice data and the specific requirements of your business process, a customized solution or a standard solution with additional customizations may be most suitable.

    And how could this be handled via an SAP job? Would batch input, IDOCS and EDIFACT also be a solution for this?
