Case Study: BSN Medical achieves legal certainty, streamlined administration and lasting cost savings with OpenText Vendor Invoice Management

Invoice processing with OpenText: BSN medical achieves legal certainty, simplifies administration and cuts costs

BSN medical, a healthcare company known for brands like Leukoplast and Elastomull, processes around 50,000 incoming invoices a year through service centers in Germany and England. Their legacy SAP add-on didn’t archive documents at scan time and parked invoices in SAP, creating numbering discrepancies that conflicted with strict Italian financial rules and blocked automated invoice checking—prompting a need for legal certainty, simpler administration and lower long‑term costs.

BSN implemented OpenText Vendor Invoice Management and Invoice Capture Center for SAP, which archives invoices immediately after scanning, automatically captures invoice data into SAP and manages approvals in VIM so documents are only created after validation. The configurable solution removed dependence on specialist developers, cut administration and external scanning costs, simplified user training, delivered legal certainty in Italy and across Europe, and is expected to pay back in about 2.5 years.
