In 2018, Zekelman Industries implemented Serrala FinanceSuite as an AP Automation solution to centralize accounts payable processing across its corporate finance function. The program was executed against the customer SAP estate and coordinated on site at Zekelman Industries, 227 W Monroe St, Chicago, IL 60606.
A Senior SAP consultant was responsible for development, enhancement and configuration of custom Serrala solutions for SAP ECC, S4 Hana and older SAP systems, adapting Serrala FinanceSuite to the existing SAP technical landscape. Workstreams included configuration of AP Automation workflows such as invoice intake and validation, payment orchestration and alignment with vendor master processes, plus custom extensions where standard configuration did not meet requirements. Development emphasized configurable mappings and transforms to ensure data fidelity between Serrala FinanceSuite and SAP transactional records.
Integrations were implemented directly into SAP ECC and S4 Hana instances at the client sites, enabling end to end processing from invoice capture through payment instruction within Serrala FinanceSuite. The deployment model prioritized on premises SAP integration and synchronous posting into SAP finance modules to preserve accounting consistency. Operational coverage targeted the accounts payable and broader finance teams within Zekelman Industries.
Rollout activities combined phased configuration, iterative enhancements and site level deployments managed by the SAP consulting lead together with internal finance stakeholders. Governance focused on change control for customizations, coordinated testing across SAP variants and controlled cutover of AP Automation processes into live finance operations.
