Following the introduction of a new, cloud-based solution for invoice receipt, the old invoice receipt software implemented as an SAP add-on must be deleted from the SAP ERP system. The removal of the old tool is preceded by the archiving of data for the solution's own archiving objects. In addition, work items belonging to the third-party tool workflows are archived. Customer-specific customizing settings and extensions of the obsolete add-on implemented as ABAP programs are checked and deleted.
Supplement
The introduction of the cloud-based solution for invoice receipt and the upcoming S/4 conversion of the ERP landscape form the motivation for the project. In addition, the removal of the third-party tool aims to ensure that the software that is no longer required, including the data that is not relevant for auditing, no longer ties up resources in terms of storage and maintenance. Despite the availability of uninstallation instructions from the manufacturer, the customer's own implementations need to be analyzed and a specific procedure defined and agreed.
Subject description
The recording of incoming invoices as posting documents and original documents as well as the posting of invoices are among the standard tasks of an ERP system. In many cases, these tasks are fully automated, starting with the scanning of paper invoices through to the capture of receipts and posting. By replacing the third-party tool with the cloud-based solution, the customer is switching to the Group solution and thus supporting the standardization of processes within the Group.
