Scanned Invoice

You can scan the document that you received from your supplier and manually upload it as a pdf file to the SAP Business ByDesign system. You can then attach the uploaded file to the new invoice or credit memo. If your scanner software can also create txt files from scanned documents, the system can use the txt file to propose the invoice or credit memo details, which enables you to create invoices and credit memos more efficiently.
