In the complex world of enterprise resource planning (ERP), SAP has long stood as a pillar for managing critical business functions, including accounts payable (AP) and invoice processing. But as companies seek faster, smarter, and more automated solutions, a gap has emerged between traditional workflows and the growing demand for intelligent, end-to-end automation.

Relish Invoice AI fills that gap. Seamlessly integrating with SAP to supercharge invoice processing with advanced AI capabilities, intuitive workflows, and a smarter way to manage exceptions and approvals.

Why Extend SAP’s Invoice Processing Capabilities?

SAP is a powerful platform, but like many ERP systems, its out-of-the-box invoice automation capabilities often leave room for improvement when it comes to:

• Reducing manual data entry
• Automating non-PO and complex invoice types
• Managing exceptions outside of SAP
• Ensuring compliance and auditability
• Providing modern user experiences for finance and business users alike

Relish Invoice AI addresses each of these challenges by working with SAP, not around it—extending and enriching native functionality without disrupting core business processes.

How Relish Invoice AI Works with SAP

Relish Invoice AI is purpose-built to integrate with SAP, leveraging existing data structures and workflows while introducing a smarter, AI-powered layer to optimize and automate invoice handling.

1. Invoice Ingestion and Intelligent Capture

Whether invoices arrive via email, upload, or other digital channels, Relish Invoice AI uses Machine Learning to:

• Automatically extract key invoice fields (vendor, PO number, line items, tax, etc.)
• Recognize any document type and format (we mean anything from PDFs, PNGs, images, Excel, or even handwritten)
• Normalize data to align with SAP’s schema

2. Smart Matching and Validation

Relish matches invoice data against SAP records (such as POs and vendor master data), supporting tolerance checking and automatic exception flagging.

If discrepancies are found, Relish highlights them for review with full visibility without requiring users to log into SAP.
