The special-process apps standard ERP doesn't give you

Mass journal files — carrier invoices, BlackLine exports, payroll extracts, plain Excel — split into posting-ready FI documents with zero-balancing lines, routed through one batch-level approval instead of one work item per document, validated and substituted at the moment of posting, with an error framework that retries instead of re-keys.

Open AR and AP invoices priced against the one benchmark that matters: your short-term borrowing rate. Customer offers that are always cheaper than borrowing, vendor asks that always beat your funding cost, a cash-target optimizer, what-if simulation per counterparty, and a BCM-style release chain that ends in real DZ/KZ settlement postings.

Intercompany shipments invoice at transfer price, but customs assesses its own value — and the gap lives in offline spreadsheets at most multinationals. Asset Recap makes that ledger first-class: assessments captured per shipment, duty variance computed, absorption decided at header or item level, books revalued to the declared value, and the transfer-price true-up fed straight to group eliminations.

Post any FI document — one or thousands, from any boundary system — then operate on what's posted: reverse it, reclass it to the right account or cost object, or revalue inventory (MR21/MR22). Inbound interfaces become registered channels that normalize any format into canonical FI staging documents, validated all-or-nothing at the gate; reversals, reclasses, and revaluations post through the same pipeline.

A transparent two-stage effort model for moving a test suite from manual to AI-assisted creation and automated execution. It separates one-time creation savings from per-cycle execution break-even, then layers in the scripting learning curve, governance overhead, and a cost-aware investment case — so “automation will save time” becomes a defensible effort-hours number with a break-even you can put in a business case.

Bulk create and change SAP Credit Management master data — risk class, check rule, calculation rule, credit group, credit limit and validity, block reason, special-attention flag — through the released OData service, not screen scraping or Z-programs. Every file is planned read-before-write so unchanged rows are skipped and re-runs are safe; a partner with a calculation rule warns before an explicit limit overwrites it; and a credit-limit increase routes through an amount-banded approval before it applies.
