Reimagining Accounts Payable Automation Using Sap Btp Workflows And Sap Joule Copilot

Abstract

The automated processing of accounts payable (AP) processes has taken on a new shape with smart enterprise solutions. This paper describes how SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) and SAP Joule Copilot can provide the more mechanical, rote processes within the function into intelligent and contextualized processes in the organization. The paper looks at alternative automation approaches (rule-based, machine learning, and hybrid) in a comparative analysis using empirical and theoretical research. The study demonstrates that hybrid solutions have the potential to action automated invoice management, fraud detection and agile operations. The current discussion reviews architectural and design considerations when adding the workflows of SAP BTP and conversational AI into the financial ecosystem of the enterprise.
