OpenText Vendor Invoice Management (VIM) for SAP Solutions is the leading tool for automate invoices in SAP, guaranteeing regulatory compliance, traceability and efficiency. When incorporating IC4SAP, an advanced data extraction with AI, VIM reduces manual work, errors and allows greater agility of accounts payable processes.
But how can you empower and take OpenText VIM to the next level? In this article, we show you how enhance VIM in SAP with strategies that improve the touchless posting, reduce exceptions and expand the visibility of the process End-to-end.
What does it mean to empower VIM in SAP
Powering VIM isn't just about configuring flows or rules: it means build an intelligent layer of automation, data, and user experience (UX) which optimizes each stage of the Accounts Payable (AP) cycle.
Keys to getting the most out of your VIM solution:
- Rules and previous validations: detects errors before accounting for invoices.
- Invoice data enrichment: improves the correspondence between order, receipt and invoice, as well as automatic coding in financial invoices (without order).
- SAP Fiori Experience: modern interfaces that facilitate the resolution of exceptions and approvals with context.
Operational and executive KPIs: measure Touchless Rate, First-Pass Yield, Backlog and Aging in real time.
👉 In addition, an advanced VIM strategy relies on tools such as VIM Central Reporting and VIM Analytics, which allow monitor and analyze the overall performance of the AP process.
These modules offer consolidated visibility, interactive dashboards and the ability to analyze by center, supplier or type of invoice — a key complement to driving continuous improvement.
Why now is the time to implement billing cycle automation in your SAP:
- Electronic invoicing and compliance: VIM integrates perfectly with solutions of e-invoicing like our Invictia connector, an SAP addon for global compliance, developed by Brait to send and receive electronic invoices.

- Efficiency pressure: more and more organizations are seeking to reduce the cost per invoice and the Lead time of approval, which are some of the KPIs that are significantly improved by VIM.
