Horsch Automates Its Invoice Receipt Management Worldwide Using FIS/edc and FIS/InvoiceRefinementService  

The solution processes around 20,000 invoices per month, recognizes data using OCR, automatically assigns vendors and seamlessly transfers documents to the SAP system. Thanks to intelligent document recognition, recognition quality is continuously improving while background postings enable direct and automatic updates. The FIS/InvoiceRefinementService solution also ensures that electronic invoices – e.g. in the XRechnung or ZUGFeRD format – are received and processed in accordance with legal requirements. 

The system went live in Germany just a few months after the project started. This was followed by a gradual international rollout at locations in France, Poland, Great Britain, Canada and the United States. 

With FIS/edc, HORSCH now automates the entire process chain for incoming invoice processing – from data recognition and check to its update in SAP. All steps are transparent and require minimal manual effort.  

In this way, HORSCH is laying the foundation for a scalable, efficient and internationally standardized accounting and is already benefiting from an advanced and future-proof solution that can be continuously developed further.
