Starting point
Document processes slow down automation
Incoming invoices arrive in various formats, and each manual entry costs time, with every error costing more. All the relevant data would be present in SAP, but the automated connection between the document and the system is missing. Reconciliation remains costly manual work.
Unstructured documents
External invoices arrive in different formats. No uniform structure, no uniform process.
High manual effort
Time-consuming and error-prone data entry slows your employees down and doesn't scale with increasing invoice volumes.
Incorrect master data
Incorrect and outdated partner information leads to inconsistencies in the system if it is not checked thoroughly.
System breaks despite SAP
Missing end-to-end process chains from document to SAP document. The last step remains manual.
What this means
What your accounting team gets out of it
Manual entry is eliminated
Invoices that were previously entered manually are now processed automatically, allowing your staff to focus on exceptions that require genuine attention.
3-way match without the effort
Tycom Flow automatically matches invoice, purchase order and goods receipt. Discrepancies are flagged directly in the system instead of landing on someone's desk first.
No black box
Tycom Flow offers deeper integration than traditional SaaS solutions. Every step is traceable, with SAP feedback, status updates and clear exception handling. All process steps remain transparent and traceable within standard SAP functionality – including for companies evaluating alternatives to SAP VIM.
