Integrating EDI into your SAP S/4HANA solution
When you’re an enterprise company, you need a strategy to manage the complexity of your business. Your team needs to be as effective as possible to keep up with all incoming demands, but you don’t want to exhaust current resources or focus on the wrong items.
As you build your cloud-first strategy or prepare for your SAP S/4HANA cloud migration, it’s important to consider when you want to build and manage solutions yourself and when you want to partner with a team of experts.
Don’t be afraid to let the experts take over
Think about your existing tax strategy. While you could have someone on your team become an expert in tax code for every state and build out those customizations within your ERP system, you probably don’t do that, right? It would take a massive amount of time, effort and money, so it makes sense to outsource those duties to tax professionals who can handle the process for you.
The same can be said for EDI. There are thousands of retailers with unique specifications and requirements, and these can change or be updated at any time. Instead of dedicating resources to manage EDI updates and intricacies, it makes sense to follow your tax compliance strategy and bring in a partner who specializes in managing and optimizing your document exchange processes.
