Product Description

The Weighbridge Plugin for SAP enables the automatic input of weigh-tickets into the ERP. The weigh-tickets created by the Weighbridge are transferred in form of xml text files to the ERP's plugin. There they are validated, and forwarded to the SAP system for final confirmation and acceptance. The weighing-tickets, their corresponding delivery documents, or load sheets are scanned and immediately visible at the SAP client for entry validation. No time is wasted for paper documents to be forwarded from one validation post to another. The approval, invoice generation, and reporting may start immediately after the weighing tickets are input, and documents are scanned, as they are immediately available to all SAP clients.

Basic Features and how it works

• The created weghing tickets are automatically saved into a poll-directory.
• Associated documents are scanned and also saved into the poll-directory
• The directory is polled every 30 seconds and documents therein are imported into the system for validation
• All SAP users may immediately view all these documents and proceed with the transaction creation from their workstations.
• Approval workflows and report generation may start outside the SAP environment via email notifications.
• The final confirmation is performed on SAP
