Pladis, home to snack brands such as Verkade, Sultana, Godiva, McVitie’s and Ulker, wanted to track invoices throughout the entire processing cycle in its JD Edwards ERP system. With AP Automation and an interface with JD Edwards, including Voucher Logging as a standard feature, invoices are now visible before they are fully processed.
With other potential vendors, invoices were only booked into the ERP system through an interface after complete processing, leaving no visibility into invoice status during the process.
ISPnext built a solid interface with JD Edwards together with implementation partner Cadran, and was the only vendor to offer Voucher Logging as a standard feature, making invoices visible during processing.
Successful implementation and rollout to the Netherlands, Belgium and France, continuous insight into invoice status in JD Edwards, and formalised procedures that are needed for audits, among other things.
Invoices only visible after complete processing
Pladis wanted to track invoices throughout the entire processing cycle in JD Edwards, rather than only after completion.
-
No visibility during processing
With other potential vendors, invoices were only booked into the ERP system through an interface after complete processing, leaving no visibility into invoice status during the process.
-
Need for a solid JD Edwards interface
Pladis already worked with implementation partner Cadran and was looking for an invoice processing solution that could connect to it through a robust, standard interface with JD Edwards.
-
Rollout across countries with their own regulations
The solution had to be rolled out to branches in the Netherlands, Belgium and France, each with its own tax regulations, including complex Belgian VAT legislation.
AP Automation with standard Voucher Logging and a JD Edwards interface
ISPnext implemented AP Automation combined with an interface to JD Edwards, built together with implementation partner Cadran.
-
Collaboration with implementation partner Cadran
ISPnext has been working with Cadran for quite some time and built a solid interface with ERP system JD Edwards together with them.
-
Voucher Logging as a standard feature
Voucher Logging gives pladis the ability to see invoices directly in JD Edwards, rather than only after complete processing. ISPnext was the only potential vendor to offer this as standard.
-
Phased rollout by country
Implementation started in Belgium, where adjustments were needed because of complex Belgian VAT legislation. The implementations in the Netherlands and France then proceeded as expected.
-
Close collaboration during implementation
The collaboration between Cadran and ISPnext was smooth, so issues during implementation were consistently resolved in mutual consultation.
"We now finally have visibility into where invoices are in the process, and the procedures have been formalised, which is necessary for audits, among other things."
Direct invoice visibility and formalised procedures
Implementation and rollout to the Netherlands, Belgium and France are complete. Pladis now has continuous insight into where invoices stand in the process, and procedures have been formalised, which is necessary for audits, among other things.
