Solution Approach

SAP Document Compliance

A Combination of an Open Compliance Framework + Library of

predefined country specific processes.

Open Framework

Library of predefined

processes

Standardization

• Are generated from a “Source Document” concept,

provided from framework level, e.g.: SD/FI Document,

FI Document, Shipment, Goods Issue, SII Document,

etc…

Processes (e.g. “Spain Bundle Processing”)

• How the execution will happen, including actions,

eventual errors and “variations” during the execution.

• Processes could be registrations, approval, updates,

etc..

Architectural components: flexibility + reusability

Comprehensive

Operations and

Monitoring

• Central “Cockpit”

• Single Access point

• UI-Navigation to

Business process

Process Auditing

• Full electronic

document history:

Users, date, time,

details, content if

available, approvals

and rejections.

Full Process

Automation

• Communications

• Error handling

Framework Features Overview at a Glance – 1 / 2

Multi-Compliance

• Run multiple

Compliance

processes for the

same transaction

• Generate several

different documents

for one transaction.

Multi-Level Grouping

• Allows transactional

integration as well

as packed-based

integration

• Navigation among

– SAP Document Compliance, outbound invoicing option for Brazil &

What is the solution about?

Public Buyers must accept and process electronic invoices according to the European Standard

on electronic invoicing that includes:

Peppol Exchange service

Regulatory Background: Directive 2014/55/EU on B2G Invoicing

Obligation for Suppliers

• Several countries have chosen to define

tighter rules making e-invoicing

mandatory for Suppliers

• This is the case for example in Italy,

Netherlands, Germany and Spain

Obligation for contracting authorities

• Contracting authorities must be able to

receive and process e-invoices according

to the approved standards

• A semantic data

model (aligned

content of the

invoice)

• A list of agreed

syntaxes (defining

the technical

structure of the

invoice)

• A recommendation

for the

transmission of e-

invoices to Public

Buyers: Peppol

Peppol – a global infrastructure for the exchange of electronic documents

The service determines

the receiver endpoint

dynamically

Exchange between a

sending and a

receiving Access Point

SAP Solutions

In numerous European and non-European countries,

Peppol is the selected infrastructure for the

electronic exchange of business documents.

The endpoint is determined within the infrastructure

defined by Peppol

The use of Peppol is often driven by but not

restricted to B2G exchanges. It can also be used for

B2B transactions between private companies.

Electronic documents are sent and received through

registered service providers.

Making healthcare more accessible in more than

100,000 hospitals worldwide

Helping customers to deliver quality care in a safe, secure, and affordable environment,

Shenzhen Mindray Bio-Medical Electronics Co., Ltd. is a leading developer, manufacturer,

and supplier of medical devices. The global company is on a mission to make healthcare

more accessible and delivers advanced technology to hospitals in almost 200 countries

worldwide. Needing to comply with mandatory electronic invoicing requirements in Italy,

Mindray decided to replace its existing solution that was potentially putting the business at

risk of noncompliance. The company opted to use the latest cloud technologies supported

by expert knowledge.

How Does a Medical Devices Firm

Ensure Its Electronic Invoicing

Processes Exceed Expectations?

Mindray called on SAP

MaxAttention™ services to implement the SAP Document Compliance service,

invoicing option for Italy, ensuring:

• Successful replacement of the existing third-party silo-based solution with an advanced hybrid solution based on

SAP Cloud Platform

• Compliance with local regulations, enabling the business to send electronic documents to trading partners and

regulatory authorities

• Smooth integration with the SAP ERP application, enabling the IT team in the company’s head office to centrally

monitor the new electronic document framework

• Simplified and standardized compliance processes in multiple countries, with a unified user experience and a

reduced set of tools

• Readiness to roll out the SAP Document Compliance service in other countries with one united expert team from

SAP on hand using country-specific scenarios

Mindray uses a unified platform to receive and monitor

electronic invoices while improving operational efficiency.

“With SAP MaxAttention services, we successfully implemented the hybrid-based

SAP Document Compliance service, invoicing option for Italy, in just eight weeks –

becoming the first business in the world to do so.”
