2.1 General Note regarding GDPR

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a new European Union (EU) law that gives residents
greater protection and control of their personal data. It regulates the data that companies in and outside
the EU can collect, store, and transfer – as well as how they use it. All companies that process EU
resident data must be ready to comply with the GDPR.

4 Vendor Invoice Management for SAP Solutions 23.4 Release Notes

SAP S/4HANA provides a superior level of user security and data protection features. VIM as add-on
package profits from the high standard of S/4HANA compared to outside-in solutions with their own
database, duplication of data, and lower level security concepts.

Software solutions like VIM cannot be or not be GDPR compliant. Every customer using SAP S/4HANA
and VIM is responsible to provide GDPR compliance in their organization.

Several VIM features and additional details listed in product documentation can help clients to achieve
GDPR compliance.

2.2 New features

Vendor Invoice Management for SAP Solutions 23.4 includes the following new features.

Improved PO item matching (VIMI-34383)

The introduction of version 23.4 brings a new and enhanced Purchase Order (PO) item matching
feature. It's important to note that the user interface remains unchanged, but significant improvements
have been made to the background matching process, resulting in more accurate matching outcomes,
even in cases of deviation.

These improvements were achieved through the implementation of a new algorithm that takes into
consideration the newly introduced field weights and confidences. This release offers the ability to
customize confidence for improved matching results, based on the following criteria:

• Confidence-based field matching calculation, which includes full and partial field matches.
• Confidence-based item matching calculation, taking into account the weight of fields to match,
the number of fields to match, and the number of fields requested to match.
• A confidence threshold for item matching.

Customers have the flexibility to fine-tune the matching process by configuring higher weights for
specific fields like material text, adjusting matching confidence levels for partial matches, and setting
threshold values to ignore matching pairs with low confidence.

The new matching functionality optimizes processes in the following scenarios:

• Invoices with Purchase Order numbers that have already been used in other invoices not yet
posted, offering options for both background and screen matching with warning popups.
• Large invoice documents, providing choices for background and screen matching with warning
popups.

Furthermore, the matching process can be logged and analyzed, and customers have the ability to
adjust configurations based on the matching result report.

Vendor Invoice Management for SAP Solutions 23.4 Release Notes 5

 Note
It's worth noting some limitations of the new PO item matching:

• Multiple Service Entry Sheets (SES) per PO item and multiple Goods
Receipts (GR) per PO item may yield fewer matching results compared to
older versions (up to VIM 20.4 SPS5).
• Large document handling might not fully populate logging tables or
analytics reports.

IES Extraction Analytics in SAP GUI is extended (BOB-8995,

BOB-9008)
The IES Extraction Analytics report available in Work Center Supplier Invoices is extended with new
KPIs on document level and new profile configuration KPIs.

Similarly, CDS query /OPT/VAS4_DEAS_Query is also extended.

IES Extraction Dashboard in SAP GUI (BOB-7988)

A new IES Extraction Dashboard view is added as a node in Work Center Supplier Invoices.

The IES Extraction Dashboard provides the key figures (KPIs) of the extraction process in the Inbound
phase based on the feedback results. Instead of providing the key figures for each inbound process,
the dashboard provides the key figures aggregated per capture profile ID or other inbound parameters.

Migration of electronic invoice solution from /OPT (Invoice

Component) to /OTX (Foundation Component) - (VIMI-37080)
Starting from VIM 20.4/7.6 SPS6 and continuing with the VIM 23.4 release and beyond, the E-invoice
solution has undergone migration, transitioning from an invoice-focused solution to a foundational
component that accommodates the processing of various electronic documents, such as Sales orders
in addition to Invoices.

For customers who are currently utilizing the central electronic mapping utility in the invoice solution
and are planning to upgrade to the latest release, a data migration utility has been provided to
facilitate this process. By executing the migration program, you can significantly reduce the manual
effort associated with copying existing data from /OPT* (Invoice solution) tables to /OTX* (foundation
solution) tables within the e-invoicing solution. This approach not only minimizes the potential for data
entry errors in /OTX tables but also allows for options to modify or overwrite the existing entries in
/OTX tables.

To initiate the migration tool, utilize program /OTX/PF14_P_MIGRATE_DATA through the T-code:
/OTX/PF14_MIGRATE.

For a comprehensive understanding of this tool, please consult the "One-time administration tasks"
chapter in the Administration Guide for Invoice Solution.

6 Vendor Invoice Management for SAP Solutions 23.4 Release Notes

For further insights into the migration process, refer to the "Processing electronic documents" chapter
in the Configuration Guide for Foundation.

Note
It is crucial to note that any future enhancements or new developments pertaining
to the e-invoicing solution will exclusively be carried out within the /OTX* objects.
We highly recommend transitioning to this approach, as the older /OPT XML data
model is slated for obsolescence in future iterations.

Rendition solution: transform XML into PDFs (VIMI-34767)

We have introduced an enhanced PDF visualization feature through SAP Smart Forms, enabling the
display of data from XML input files. This PDF rendering process is driven by the configuration of
semantic names and precise field positioning within the resulting PDF document. This innovative
approach empowers you to group related XML fields, such as header, address data, and items, while
also offering multilingual text labels without the need for additional coding.

The resulting PDF output simplifies the reading for the end-user compared to more technical file like
XML, enhancing the usability of your electronic documents.

Note
For a deeper understanding of PDF Visualization, please consult the "Configuring
PDF Visualization" chapter within the Configuration Guide for Foundation, as well
as the "Visualization of XML Invoices" section in the Scenario Guide for the
Invoice Solution. These resources provide comprehensive insights and
instructions on the topic.

Poland - Support of KSeF reference number & Acquisition date

integration with SAP DRC (VIMI-37269)
In the context of Polish invoices, the KSeF reference number and acquisition date are now being
recorded and presented on the DP indexing screen of VIM in conjunction with SAP Document and
Reporting Compliance.

Vendor Invoice Management for SAP Solutions 23.4 Release Notes 7

 Note
For a comprehensive understanding, we recommend consulting the relevant
chapters, namely "Poland" and "KSeF Reference Number & Acquisition Date," in
the Scenario guide for Invoice solution.

Extension of eDocument feedback functionality to support rejection

codes (VIMI-37189)
SAP has extended the eDocument feedback functionality to support country-specific rejection codes
for example, Peppol rejection codes, Italy codes, etc.

VIM provides support to send these rejection codes back to invoice issuer, along with optional
comments for customers of VIM integrated with SAP Document and Reporting Compliance.

For more details, refer to Chapter “Extension of eDocument feedback functionality to support rejection
codes” of Scenario guide for Invoice solution.

Italy – Support of Article Reference number (VIMI-34241)

For Italy invoices, Article Reference Number (ARN) is supported in VIM invoices. This field is a
configurable field on the item level. It is essential to have an ARN value for the line items where the tax
rates equal 0%.

This functionality is validated with 2 new business rules relevant for this solution.

• Process type 577 for PO

• Process type 578 for NPO

The NPO/PO exception is raised in following cases:

• When the tax rate is zero and ARN is not entered on item.
• When the tax rate is non-zero and ARN is entered on the item.

Note: The value passed/entered in the ARN field will not be validated in VIM.

For more details, refer to Section “Italy” under Chapter “Scenarios for special countries” of Scenario
guide for Invoice solution.

VIM FIORI Account Payable Cockpit (VIMI-37078)

Account Payable clerks often face significant time constraints when processing invoices. Having a
comprehensive overview of invoices to be processed, categorized by urgency, value, vendor, and
exceptions, can greatly assist them in managing their daily responsibilities.

Introducing the New SAP FIORI Accounts Payable Cockpit:

With a new user experience, we deliver six predefined analytical cards with different views such as
Donut chart, Column chart, List card, Table card and Link List card.

8 Vendor Invoice Management for SAP Solutions 23.4 Release Notes

Users can personalize and rearrange these cards as per their usage.

The user can use the cockpit to make a system-guided and intelligent decision which invoice workflows
to focus on, i.e.: urgent invoices by due date”, “top exceptions”, etc…

Note
• Fiori Cockpit for Accounts Payable is delivered as a preconfigured Fiori tile
with six predefined cards.
• It´s only available from S4HANA 2023.

Extension of Leasing fields on Fiori Apps (VIMI-37022)

Leasing invoices are now supported in Invoice FIORI apps:

1. Enter Cost Assignment Advanced

2. Approve Invoices
3. My Approved Invoices

Note
To ensure the inclusion of leasing invoices in the aforementioned Fiori apps, it is
essential to configure and enable approvals for the leasing document types,
REC_S4 and/or REC_75.

Introduction of Team View in FIORI Account Payable Workplace

(VIMI-35195)
Team view has been added to the switch “work view” filter on FIORI Account Payable Workplace:

The Fiori Invoice coding and approval apps are now enhanced to view the documents on CMIS
repository.

Support long URL for Approval Notification and Reminder Notification

(VIMI-37270)

OVERALL_STATUS_TEXT field in Fullscreen List customizing.

Redo Role resolution utility for existing workflows (VIMI-36841)

 Note

For more details refer to Chapter “Redo Role Resolution utility” of VIM
Administration guide.

Addition of Sender email address in Return to Vendor report

(VIMI-37716)

company code.

Note

For more details refer to Chapter “Maintain the Sender Email Address” of
Configuration guide for Invoice solution and Chapter “Returning invoices to the
vendor” of User guide for Invoice solution.

Control of the SCE activation in indexing screen (VIMI-37665)

Single click entry (SCE) for SAPGUI has performance problems in case an image with lots of pages or
items is processed. Introduced a new configuration possibility so that if a certain threshold of document
pages or items is exceeded, the SCE control will be disabled in indexing screen.

Two new Z-Constants are introduced:

Product code Constant Description Default value

005 SCE_MAX_ITEMS Max allowed line items to enable SCE 1000

005 SCE_MAX_PAGES Max allowed pages to enable SCE 1000

Limitations:

• SCE activation will not be controlled, if DP items are being added/deleted in the indexing screen
while SCE plugin is already active. The evaluation is done if a different plugin is chosen and
then SCE button is clicked again.
• The last plugin chosen/clicked will be set as default and saved to database. Next DP will show
this plugin as default (existing logic). If any plugin other than SCE was last executed, SCE will
not be evaluated when indexing screen loads (in PBO).

Vendor Invoice Management for SAP Solutions 23.4 Release Notes 11

For more details, refer to Chapter “Z constants for product code 005” of Reference
guide and Chapter “Using the Single Click Entry feature” of User guide for Invoice

Configuration delivered with BC set

7.2.5.1 SCE activation in indexing screen (VIMI-37665)

Add below two new Z-Constants

Product code Constant Description Default value

005 SCE_MAX_ITEMS Max allowed line items to enable SCE 1000

005 SCE_MAX_PAGES Max allowed pages to enable SCE 1000

The default values for these constants are provided primarily for backward compatibility. If you are
processing large invoices, review the settings for each. Factors that need to be considered are number
of fields visible in line items, number of line items in extreme cases that still need to be processed with
SCE, performance of your application servers and end user workstations (as the data will be loaded
into SCE control running in SAPGUI). Note that large invoices with their corresponding data sets will
cause long run time and potentially short dumps due to timeouts.
