Email-based Approval Solution

Approve Invoices Anytime. Anywhere.

Avaali’s Email-based Approval Solution for OpenText VIM eliminates the need for SAP GUI or Fiori access, enabling approvers to review, comment, and approve invoices directly from their mailbox. Designed for speed, convenience, and compliance, it ensures faster approvals, improved control, and a complete audit trail — without requiring SAP login.

Elevating Procurement to a Strategic Advantage

In many enterprises, invoice approvals within OpenText Vendor Invoice Management (VIM) require approvers to log into SAP GUI or Fiori — a process that can be cumbersome, especially for business users who are not regular SAP users or lack VPN access. This dependency often results in delays, missed approvals, and increased administrative workload for the Accounts Payable team.

Avaali’s Email-based Approval Solution for OpenText VIM redefines this experience. By enabling invoice approvals directly through email, it brings agility, accessibility, and ease of use to your approval process — ensuring that every stakeholder can act promptly, regardless of where they are.

Why Invoice Approval Needs to Change

01

Cumbersome SAP Access

Approvers must log in to SAP GUI or Fiori to view and act, slowing down response time.
02

Non-SAP Users

Many approvers in the workflow don’t have SAP or Fiori credentials.
03

Limited Mobility

Users traveling or without VPN access can’t review or approve invoices easily.
04

Manual Workarounds

Teams rely on emails or printed copies for approvals, increasing compliance risks.
05

Delayed Approvals

Slow cycles affect vendor payments and strain supplier relationships.

The Hidden Costs of Inefficient Procurement

Manual workflows, inconsistent data, and fragmented systems slow operations and reduce transparency.

Approvers not familiar with SAP or Fiori interfaces

Lack of access to SAP for users outside finance teams

Time-consuming approval cycles due to login dependencies

Difficulty accessing relevant invoice data or attachments

Fragmented audit trails when approvals happen outside the system

High training requirements for new users

Reliance on manual, paper-based approvals

Core Capabilities of Our Product

Accounts Payable Automation

Our AI-driven, template-less invoice processing accelerates AP cycles by capturing invoices from any source—portal, email, or scans—with intelligent OCR. Built-in validations, compliance checks, and digital verification ensure every invoice moves seamlessly through structured approval workflows, providing complete visibility from posting to payment.

Supplier Onboarding

Standardized onboarding forms and automated validations ensure suppliers submit complete, accurate data from the start. Multi-level review workflows streamline compliance checks, reducing rework and delays. This results in faster supplier activation and cleaner master data for long-term procurement excellence.

E-Sourcing

Run configurable RFQs and reverse auctions effortlessly using a unified interface designed for strategic, data-driven sourcing. Granular rule-based evaluations and real-time insights make comparing suppliers simple and transparent, enabling faster, smarter award decisions.

Supplier Experience Portal

A unified collaboration portal gives suppliers real-time visibility into POs, shipment creation, invoicing, and status updates. QR-based and digital signature verification boost accuracy and trust, while self-service dashboards reduce dependency on internal teams and accelerate query resolution.

Contract Management

Centralize contract authoring, review, and approvals through guided workflows that ensure consistency and compliance. Multi-step legal and procurement reviews, combined with obligation and renewal tracking, reduce risks and maintain visibility across the contract lifecycle.

Catalog Management

Hosted catalogs make policy-compliant purchasing intuitive and fast, with quick item uploads, bulk updates, and advanced search. Users can create carts in one click, ensuring standardized, efficient requisitions that reduce friction across procurement.

Spend Analytics

Real-time dashboards provide instant visibility into spend across categories, plants, suppliers, and timelines—without exporting data. Teams can quickly identify saving opportunities, streamline reporting, and deliver clear, audit-ready insights to leadership.
