Migrating to SAP S/4HANA is a major step for many companies. IT departments face the challenge of ensuring all systems and processes are fully optimized for their updated environment. But what happens to existing invoice processing workflows? This question is especially relevant for finance leaders and accounting professionals.

The Challenge: Established Processes May No Longer Work

Many companies have spent years developing reliable solutions for invoice processing. Adopting automated workflows has ensured smooth operations and efficiency. However, transitioning to SAP S/4HANA can introduce unexpected challenges:

• Existing solutions may not be compatible with current S/4HANA versions, including Public and Private Cloud models.
• Legacy interfaces may no longer function.
• In the worst-case scenario, invoice processing workflows may need to be rebuilt entirely.

This poses significant risks, including payment delays and compliance violations, which could impact financial operations during or after migration.

What’s the Best Approach?

Companies have two options: They can either attempt to adapt existing workflows to S/4HANA—an expensive and resource-intensive process—or they can implement a solution designed specifically for the SAP ecosystem, that is fully compatible with SAP S/4HANA and available on the SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP).
