Austria , larger European and international suppliers , and very small local farmers .” Another major factor influencing the decision to adopt SAP Business Network was the offering ’ s highly configurable business rules to heighten business process compliance .
“ We set up around 30 to 40 different business rules to help mitigate risk and prevent errors . For example , suppliers are allowed to invoice only after the goods receipt is posted at Frutura . So , without goods receipts , no invoicing is possible . What ’ s more , suppliers are not allowed to overinvoice a PO , meaning only amounts stipulated in the PO can be invoiced when goods are received at our site .”
– Gerald Goldgruber , Head of Process Management and SAP at Frutura
Yielding more-efficient supply chain operations Since digitalising its supply chain collaboration processes , Frutura has dramatically reshaped accounts receivable processes , significantly reducing the time and number of people needed to handle supplier invoices . And as invoices are transacted electronically , the company no longer needs to use optical character recognition software . In addition , thanks to the business rules applied through SAP Business Network , 99 % of all invoices that reach its advanced ERP software are correct .
The handling unit management process is very important for a business like Frutura . Using SAP Business Network , the company uploads packaging instructions for suppliers . So , when a supplier creates a ship notice , there ’ s a packaging instruction suggestion on the network .
