BEST practices: How to maximise your SAP investment

Integrating BEST with your SAP system can unlock efficiencies and cost savings, but are you making the most of it? 

Here are some tips to maximise your investment:

1. Leverage automation for routine tasks:
   Automate repetitive reconciliation processes with BEST’s in-SAP modules, freeing up time for your team to focus on strategic tasks like analysis and forecasting. 

With everything integrated into a single SAP interface, you avoid the need to switch between multiple platforms and programs—just one login, one software, and all your data visible in one dashboard.

2. Take advantage of real-time visibility:
   BEST’s modules offer real-time insights into your vendor accounts and balance sheet, helping you make quicker, more accurate financial decisions. Use these insights to optimise cash flow and stay ahead of potential discrepancies before they become issues. 

With all data consolidated within SAP, there’s no need to shuffle documents between departments—everything is accessible in one interface.

6. Utilise interactive calculators for planning:
   BEST’s cost-benefit calculators are not just for onboarding—use them regularly to evaluate ongoing performance and identify areas for further savings. They provide a clear view of your time, cost, and resource savings. 

    

7. Explore lesser-known features:
   Did you know our Remit Reader intelligently  loads your remittances directly into SAP? It then auto-matches remittance lines against SAP lines using advanced matching algorithms.
    
8. Keep up with compliance efforts:
   BEST ensures that you remain audit-ready with every reconciliation. Use the audit trail features to keep all transactions traceable and compliant, saving time during audits and ensuring peace of mind.

    

9. Customise reports for stakeholder insights:
   Tailor the reports generated through the BEST modules to provide targeted insights to different stakeholders. It’s a simple way to enhance communication and make informed, data-driven decisions.

Maximising your SAP investment is all about using the right tools and strategies. With BEST, you ensure that your reconciliation processes are not only efficient but also contribute to overall business growth. SAP is a significant investment, and BEST helps you get the most out of it—making your SAP system work for you, not the other way around. 

And since BEST operates directly within SAP, your team is already halfway to mastering the system, allowing for a smoother transition and greater ease of use.
