How it works

BEST’s vendor reconciliation module allows you to control the entire vendor reconciliation process in SAP. You can use normal SAP authorisations and system audit trails, as well as report statement matching rates and calculate vendor accruals and provisions.

BEST can also block invoices for payment if they are not on the supplier statement and base your payment terms on the statement date.

Our vendor recons module matches all the way up the procurement chain to parked, held, GR/IR and even Vendor Invoice Management (VIM) tools such as OpenText, ReadSoft, eFlow and others.

BEST works in tandem with the vendor statement reader or BEST’s statement portal to automatically process all the formats in which creditors’ statements come in: paper, Excel, PDFs, etc.
