ERP Connection: S/4HANA Cloud ES

This page enables you to add a new ERP connection by configuring the following settings:

In addition to creating a new S/4HANA Cloud ES ERP connection, it is necessary to create several CSV files to import the master data. Information about the format and contents of these CSV files is found in the Kofax AP Agility Installation Guide.

Setting

ERP Connection Name

Enter a unique name for the ERP connection. (Mandatory)

The URL for the S/4HANA Cloud ES tenant. (Mandatory)

User

The name of the user needed to connect to the above tenant. (Mandatory)

Password

Tax Number Categories

The tax types that identify a tax number within the supplier master data as a VAT registration number. Only tax numbers from this list that are associated with a supplier master data record are added as VAT registration numbers to the vendor master data record in AP Agility. (Default: AE0, AT0, BE0, BG0, BH0, BW1, CH2, CY0, CZ0, DE0, DK0, EC3, EE0, ES0, FI0, FJ3, FR0, GB0, GR0, HR0, HU0, IE0, IL0, IM0, IT0, JP4, KE1, KR2, KW0, LT0, LU0, LV0, MC0, MT0, MX2, NA1, NG4, NL0, NO1, OM0, PL0, PT0, QA0, RO0, SA0, SE0, SI0, SK0, SM0, TZ1, UA3, UG3, ZA1, ZW1)

Time-Dependent Tax Countries

The list of countries that support time-dependent taxes. The listed countries can have different tax rates on different dates and this can affect the tax calculation for an invoice. AP Agility submits a tax calculation date when posting or parking invoices for S/4HANA Cloud ES company codes whose country is included in this list. (Default: BM, BS, BW, CN, CW, CY, DE, DO, ES, GG, GH, HK, IS, IT, JE, KE, KR, KY, MU, MW, MZ, NA, NG, NZ, QA, SK, TZ, UG, VG, ZM, ZW)

EU Countries

The list of countries that are members of the EU or that use the same rules for taxes as EU countries. (Default: AT, BE, BG, CY, CZ, DE, DK, ES, EE, FI, FR, GB, GR, HR, HU, IE, IT, LT, LU, LV, MT, NL, PL, PT, RO, SK, SI, SE)

Language

The language is used when loading names and descriptions of GL accounts or cost centers. Enter a single language using the 2-character ISO code (ISO 639-1). (Default: EN)

Always Park MM Invoices

If selected, MM invoices are always parked in S/4HANA Cloud ES. (Default: Cleared)

Always Park FI Invoices

If selected, non-purchase order invoices (FI) are always parked to S/4HANA Cloud ES. (Default: Cleared)

Default UoM for FI invoices

The default unit of measure that is used in GL Account Items for non-purchase order invoices if a quantity, but no unit of measure was specified during GL coding. This setting is optional but invoices with missing unit of measure values in GL Account Items are rejected by the server and the result is that the invoices are routed to the exception state. (Default: EA)

Note that a blank value is also accepted.

Always Send Withholding Tax

If selected, withholding tax information is always sent to the S/4HANA Cloud ES server at the time of export. (Default: Cleared)

Start Data Load From

Set the date for when you want to start loading information from the ERP system. (Mandatory)

Each time the AP Data Import process runs, the Start Data Load From date and time stamp is updated with the current date and time. This ensures that the entire ERP is not loaded each time, only the changes since the last import.

Use Default Null Values For Data Import

Converts any values that are equal to "NULL," "Null," or "null" into actual null values when the data is imported. (Default: Selected)

Plants

Plant data is used by the Invoice Processing functionality and if you want to use plant data from the S/4HANA Cloud ES ERP it is necessary to upload a CSV file that contains that information. This is because plant information is not accessible via the S/4HANA Cloud ES API.

Use the following buttons to manage the CSV file for Plants.

Upload

Payment Terms

Payment terms data is used by the AP Workflow functionality and if you want to use payment term data from the S/4HANA Cloud ES ERP, it is necessary to upload a CSV file that contains that information. This is because payment term information is not accessible via the S/4HANA Cloud ES API.

Payment Term Details

This setting is disabled unless you add a Payment Terms CSV file. Payment term detail data is used by the AP Workflow functionality and if you are using Payment Terms and want to use payment term details, it is necessary to upload a CSV file that contains that information. This is because payment term details are not accessible via the S/4HANA Cloud ES API.

Use the following buttons to manage the CSV file for Payment Term Details.
