In 2016, Hines Supply deployed Epicor Catalyst as its Manufacturing ERP to manage accounts payable workflows at its Buffalo Grove, Illinois site. The initial focus was operational accounts payable processing within the Manufacturing ERP footprint, tying invoice intake and PO variance reconciliation into a single ERP workstream.
Epicor Catalyst was configured to support batch invoice entry and posting, using an accounts payable invoice listing and a P.O. variance report to surface and balance exceptions before posting. Day to day activities included downloading and printing supplier invoices, batching and inputting invoices into Epicor Catalyst, running variance reports, resolving or escalating discrepancies, and posting corrected batches to the system.
Operational coverage was centered on the Accounts Payable function at the Buffalo Grove location, staffed during the period by a temporary Accounts Payable Data Entry Clerk from September 2016 to January 2017 to sustain throughput during a planned staff absence. Governance separated routine data entry from exception handling, with discrepancies handed to a supervisor while reconciled batches were posted by the data entry role.
Documented outcomes from the period include processing volumes between 65 and 130 invoices per day and a fast ramp to operational proficiency within seven days as responsibilities transferred, with the supervisor reporting minimal oversight required. The implementation narrative links Hines Supply, Epicor Catalyst, Manufacturing ERP and accounts payable operations, highlighting configuration of AP modules, PO variance controls, and operational governance for invoice processing.
