This application was for automation and processing of the incoming invoices. Prior to deploying this solutions, the "AS IS" process was that the invoices were scanned and saved in a shared folder. They were later processed manually by keying the data. This was a very time consuming and error prone process involving several manual steps.
Our task was to automate the process of scanning, capturing the data from the scanned image, validation and export into the repository. As the invoices were of different formats, we implemented "auto fingerprint" concept in this application for data extraction. Some of the challenges faced were to validate extracted data against their existing data in the ERP system. We defined some of the RFC functions in SAP and build a custom "action" which would call the RFC functions and validate the data first prior to carrying out the export to IBM FileNet ECM repository.
Outline of the tasks compelted:
- Understand the existing "As Is" process.
- Understanding SAP integration with Datacap requirement
- Design the complete end to end solution
- Installing and configuring the IBM Datacap software
- Auto-indexing through ICR / OCR zones
- Validating with Invoice processing system
- Apply business rules through customization
- Exporting images to FileNet P8
