Stop Managing Invoices and Payments in Separate Systems
If your Finance or AP team spends time chasing down payment status, manually matching invoices, or dealing with reconciliation headaches, you're not alone. For most organisations, invoices live in one place and payments happen somewhere else entirely. That disconnect creates real problems: delayed visibility, costly errors, and processes that are hard to audit or control.
This session with Tungsten Automation is about fixing that.
Andrew Ng and John Moodie from Tungsten Automation will show you how bringing invoices and payments together within your SAP environment, rather than bolting on separate tools, changes the way your team works day to day.
You'll see how automation and embedded payments can give AP and Finance teams a clear, real-time picture of every transaction, from the moment an invoice arrives to the point of payment. No more chasing updates across systems. No more surprises at month end.
See what's next from SAP, before anyone else.
A CIM (Customer Influence Meeting) Presentation & Demo from Mike Evans, SAP is your opportunity to get a first-hand look at the latest SAP solutions and innovations, straight from SAP themselves. As a UKISUG member, you're invited to attend exclusive product demonstrations that bring new SAP technologies to life, giving you the knowledge to plan ahead, ask the right questions and make the most of your SAP investment.
Paul Huston, M&S will recap his visit to Germany where he had the chance to "Meet the Developers". This is where our Community Chairs got to go beyond the product and get straight to the people building it. Ask the questions that matter to you, share what's working, flag what isn't, and help influence the direction of the tools you use every day.
What You'll Take Away:
- A clearer view of your Invoice-to-Pay process See exactly where every invoice and payment stands at any given moment, without having to dig through multiple systems or ask colleagues for updates
- Fewer errors and cleaner reconciliation Learn how automated validation catches issues before payment goes out, reducing the back-and-forth that slows teams down and creates exceptions
- Better controls and easier auditing Understand how embedding controls directly into the payment process helps your team stay compliant and makes audit preparation far less painful
- Sharper financial decision-making Discover how having reliable, joined-up data helps you manage working capital more effectively, build more accurate forecasts and strengthen supplier relationships
