The new release optimises automatic document capture and invoice processing in SAP
Whether paper invoice, PDF or structured e-invoice: in day-to-day business operations, incoming invoices arrive in a wide variety of formats. Format-independent, automated processing is therefore not a nice-to-have, but an operational necessity. This is exactly where the biz²ScanServer for incoming mail & document processing by inPuncto comes in: it reads incoming documents context-specifically, separates and processes them automatically, and transfers the captured data directly into downstream SAP processes – optionally with Free-Form OCR text recognition for fully automated document capture.
A core element of this solution is the OCR-based invoice capture via the SAP component CDR_Invoice. It enables invoice data from scanned or digitally received documents to be read out precisely, matched against SAP master data, and made available directly for further processing in invoice processing – without manual intervention and regardless of document format or country of origin.
With version 1.2, inPuncto builds further on this proven foundation: the new version delivers more complete sender information directly from OCR document capture, introduces legally compliant VAT rates for Swiss invoices, and noticeably reduces configuration effort in invoice processing through an optimised module design. The result: an even more reliable, leaner and internationally deployable solution for automatic invoice capture in SAP.
CDR_Invoice 1.2: The most important improvements at a glance:
- Complete sender address directly from OCR document capture
The corresponding field now provides all sender address details – structured, automatically populated and ready for use in downstream SAP processes. - Legally compliant Swiss VAT rates for OCR invoice processing
The tax rates for automatic SAP invoice processing have been updated: 8.1% (standard), 3.8% (hotels), 2.6% (food, books, water) – ensuring legally compliant document recognition of Swiss invoices. - Leaner configuration of the biz²ScanServer
Less configuration effort for your OCR scanning process, cleaner structures. - Targeted use of the UnitResolverCDR module for SAP invoices
The module now only activates for invoices with specific parameters – reducing side effects in SAP invoice processing and making OCR behaviour more predictable. - Clean OCR output for US invoices in SAP
Redundant duplicates are eliminated from the output – for clean further processing in the SAP system.
