SAP ECC is SAP’s traditional ERP system. It can run on third-party databases such as Oracle and Microsoft SQL server, as well as SAP-native databases, and is used to manage core business processes including finance, sales and manufacturing.

SAP S/4HANA is the newer generation of SAP ERP and is gradually replacing SAP ECC.

Unlike SAP ECC, SAP S/4HANA runs exclusively on the SAP HANA database and uses modern in-memory technology. This allows for faster processing and real-time data monitoring and analysis, resulting in a more efficient and user-friendly system.

Customers can begin to see ROI from their Xelix integration within the first two months. Our platform can integrate up to two years’ worth of your historical AP data to train the MIL.

At go-live, we conduct a free audit of your historical payments to identify duplicate payments, tax errors, currency discrepancies and more – helping your business achieve ROI from day one.

The value recovered can deliver significant returns and often pays for the Xelix platform multiple times over.

Yes, third-party RPA tools can be used alongside SAP S/4HANA, but their effectiveness depends on which integration method you use. API-based integrations are typically more stable than UI-based integrations, which can be disrupted with SAP updates.

RPA is well-suited to repetitive, rule-based tasks like data entry, but it's less effective at catching complex, judgement-based risks such as duplicate payments or fraud.

This is where a dedicated AP control platform like Xelix can complement RPA, connecting via stable API-based data transfer to apply AI-driven risk detection.

Building automation solutions in-house can provide tailored configurations to your specific workflows and approval processes. However, this often requires significant upfront costs, ongoing investment and resources, delaying the time it takes to achieve value.

AP automation tools like Xelix save your business time and money with purpose-built AP controls that we can implement in weeks rather than months, and can be refined across multiple SAP implementations.

We can set up Xelix integration with SAP S/4HANA within six to ten weeks of you signing up for our ERP integrations service.

Our three-step process spans from kick-off to go-live and requires minimal IT input. By learning from your historical data, we conduct a free audit at go-live, helping you achieve ROI from day one.
