How Can Finance Teams Optimise Vendor Invoice Processing in SAP?

Vendor Invoice Management (VIM) plays a critical role in the Procure-to-Pay process. However, many organisations struggle with delayed approvals, high exception rates, limited visibility, and increasing manual effort within their SAP VIM landscape.

AG’s Deep Dive – SAP Vendor Invoice Management (VIM) Accelerator is a structured, insight-driven framework designed to help organisations understand, diagnose, optimise, and transform their end-to-end vendor invoice lifecycle using SAP VIM.

Rather than relying on assumptions, the accelerator enables Finance and Accounts Payable teams to make data-driven decisions backed by real process insights.

Across industries, AP teams face common challenges:

• Invoices stuck in approval queues

• Repeated exceptions related to price, quantity, tax, or master data

• Low touchless processing rates

• Limited transparency across vendors and business units

• Difficulty tracking SLA adherence and invoice ageing

Without a single source of truth, identifying where problems occur — and why — becomes time-consuming and reactive.

This is where AG’s Deep Dive SAP VIM Accelerator adds value.
