Jaga achieved compliant Peppol e-invoicing and automated invoice processing within SAP, using Routty Cloud as the e-invoicing backbone and ISPnext as the AP Automation platform.
Belgian mandatory e-invoicing and manual invoice processing in SAP, compliance pressure and inefficiency at the same time.
Routty Cloud for Peppol connectivity combined with ISPnext AP Automation, fully integrated in SAP.
Compliant e-invoicing, dramatically less manual processing and a scalable foundation for further digitalisation.
The challenge: Peppol compliance and manual invoice processing
Jaga faced a dual challenge: complying with Belgian mandatory e-invoicing legislation and modernising existing manual invoice processing within SAP. Two problems that needed to be addressed simultaneously.
-
Belgian e-invoicing legislation
Belgium introduced mandatory electronic invoicing via the Peppol network. Jaga needed to become compliant quickly for both receiving and sending Peppol invoices.
-
Manual invoice processing in SAP
Invoices were largely processed manually: data entry, review, approval and archiving took unnecessary time and increased the risk of errors in the AP department.
-
Need for one integrated solution
Jaga needed a solution that combined Peppol connectivity and AP Automation and integrated seamlessly into the existing SAP environment, without managing two separate systems.
"With Routty Cloud and ISPnext we have a solution that supports compliant e-invoicing while simultaneously improving the efficiency of our accounts payable processes within SAP."
Routty Cloud + ISPnext: e-invoicing and AP Automation as one
The solution combines Routty Cloud for Peppol connectivity with ISPnext for automated invoice workflows, both fully integrated in SAP and managed as one system.
-
Peppol connectivity via Routty Cloud
Routty Cloud handles the Peppol connection for both incoming and outgoing invoices. Jaga is fully compliant with Belgian e-invoicing legislation and ready for future expansion.
-
AI-based invoice recognition
Incoming invoices are automatically recognised and read by ISPnext. Manual data entry is no longer needed, invoices flow directly into the approval workflow.
-
Structured approval workflow in SAP
The approval workflow runs entirely within SAP. Invoices are routed based on amount, cost centre and supplier, no paper, no email.
-
Outgoing Peppol e-invoicing from SAP
In addition to incoming invoice processing, Jaga now also sends outgoing invoices via Peppol from SAP, directly to customers on the Peppol network.
Compliant, more efficient and ready for the future
Jaga combines e-invoicing compliance with a significantly more efficient AP department, and has built a scalable foundation for further digitalisation of finance and procurement.

Frequently asked questions about e-invoicing and AP Automation
Peppol is an international network for electronic invoicing. Belgium has made e-invoicing via Peppol mandatory for B2B transactions. Companies must be able to receive and send invoices via this network.
Routty Cloud handles Peppol connectivity: it translates incoming and outgoing invoices to the correct Peppol format. ISPnext takes over AP Automation: recognition, matching, workflow and archiving, fully integrated in SAP.
ISPnext has a native SAP integration. Invoice data, purchase orders and booking rules are exchanged in real time between ISPnext and SAP, without manual intervention or middleware.
Incoming Peppol invoices arrive from suppliers via the Peppol network. Outgoing Peppol invoices are sent by your company to customers on the Peppol network. Jaga uses Routty Cloud + ISPnext for both flows.
Implementation starts with the Peppol connection via Routty Cloud and the integration with SAP. ISPnext is then configured for the AP workflow. The process runs in parallel with existing operations, so there is no operational disruption.
Manufacturing companies typically receive high volumes of supplier invoices. AP Automation eliminates manual data entry, speeds up approval cycles and gives finance real-time insight into outstanding obligations, directly improving cash flow planning.
