BC Hydro | Utilities | 7700 | $5.0B | Canada | SAP | SAP Ariba Invoice | AP Automation | 2016 | n/a | In 2016 BC Hydro deployed SAP Ariba Invoice for AP Automation to introduce electronic invoicing and supplier self-service into its procurement and payables environment. The initiative was led from Supply Chain Central Services within Operations and Enterprise Supply Chain and targeted supplier-facing invoice capture, status visibility, and payment schedule transparency. SAP Ariba Invoice was configured to support electronic invoice submission and automated invoice processing workflows, including automated status updates, invoice validation rules, and early-payment offer handling. Configuration emphasized supplier portal capabilities and invoice lifecycle orchestration to move manual invoice inquiries into system-driven notifications and workflow states. Operational coverage centered on accounts payable and procurement functions, with suppliers given online access to track invoice status and payment schedules, which reduced help-desk call volumes. Many suppliers adopted early-payment offers to improve cash flow, a behavioral outcome highlighted by Hanif Dhrolia, E-Commerce Manager of Supply Chain Central Services, Operations and Enterprise Supply Chain at BC Hydro. Governance and rollout were coordinated through centralized supply chain e-commerce management, focusing on supplier onboarding and the handoff between procurement and AP teams. The deployment prioritized supplier self-service and automated AP workflows to shift transactional workload out of phone-based support and into the SAP Ariba Invoice platform. | |
