The AP Tipping Point: How CFOs Are Accelerating More Value from SAP Cloud ERP

The window is open – but it won't stay open.

Finance leaders who treat the migration to SAP Cloud ERP as a pure technology cutover will get a new ERP. Those who use it to modernize AP in parallel are getting something far more valuable: a compressed cash conversion cycle, stronger working capital, automated compliance, and real-time visibility – compounding from day one.

In this whitepaper, The AP Tipping Point, Basware draws on the experience of 600+ global enterprises running specialized Invoice Lifecycle Management (ILM) alongside SAP Cloud ERP to show exactly how that acceleration happens – and what CFOs need to act on now.

What's Inside:

• Touchless processing at scale: How enterprises like Heineken, Cummins, Danone, and Engie achieved 80–91% touchless and first-time match rates across 30+ countries, without customizing their ERP core.
• Continuous AP innovation: How a specialist platform delivers continuous updates for e-invoicing mandates, evolving fraud patterns, and advancing AI capabilities – without touching your ERP core or taking on upgrade risk.
• Clean core protection: How moving AP complexity into a specialist layer produces a 10X reduction in ERP customization, de-risks the migration itself, and delivers a consistent AP framework across your entire enterprise.

If you’re a CFO, finance transformation leader, or SAP program stakeholder at a global enterprise currently planning or executing a move to Cloud ERP, this whitepaper is for you!
