Avery Dennison | Manufacturing | 35000 | $8.8B | United States | SAP | SAP Ariba Invoice | AP Automation | 2016 | n/a | In 2016, Avery Dennison implemented SAP Ariba Invoice as its AP Automation solution to digitize invoice to pay processes. The deployment targeted an end to end source to settle scope, with a primary objective of digitizing the invoice process and connecting suppliers over a business network. Objectives included eliminating paper processes, reducing human error and fraud, and capturing line item invoice detail to improve control over spending. Implementation of SAP Ariba Invoice centralized e invoice receipt and automated purchase order and receipt matching using PO flip and catalog driven invoicing to promote straight through processing. The solution captured line item invoice detail and exposed that data to sourcing and procurement teams for tighter spend control, while a mobile application extended approval and review workflows to employees on the go. Procure to pay functionality was configured to support a no PO, no Pay policy and to route exceptions for resolution, reducing match exceptions and supplier inquiries. SAP Ariba Invoice was tightly integrated with the Ariba Network, enabling suppliers to submit e invoices that are reconciled with purchase orders and receipts prior to payment. The AP Automation implementation was also connected with complementary cloud solutions for spend analysis, sourcing, contract management and broader procure to pay processes to enable end to end visibility. Operational coverage included sourcing, procurement and accounts payable teams across North America and Europe, with plans to expand the cloud based procure to pay footprint into Asia and Latin America. Governance and process changes aligned sourcing, procurement and accounts payable around common policies and simplified digital workflows, accompanied by master vendor data cleansing and supplier consolidation to improve data quality. Supplier self service via the Ariba Network reduced supplier inquiries and supported adoption, while automated workflows and policy enforcement reduced manual approval routing and fraud risk. Change management emphasized simplicity to drive user adoption and ensure the cloud solutions managed complexity without adding user complexity. The implementation produced explicit results including compression of invoice processing from 23 days to 5 days and a 70 percent reduction in invoice exceptions. Avery Dennison reported saving 400 hours per week, roughly equivalent to 10 full time employees, through reduced match exceptions and fewer supplier inquiries. The program improved on time payments and Days Payable Outstanding, enabled automated workflows that materially lowered fraud risk, and reduced lost purchase orders. Avery Dennison is on track to reach 100 percent electronic invoicing for indirect spend across North America and Europe and is evaluating Ariba SpotBuy to better manage off contract spend and reduce supplier counts in select categories. | |
