The challenge
RAK Ceramics booked supplier invoices into SAP by hand. AP staff keyed line items, ran compliance checks, and 3-way matched invoice against PO and goods receipt, across local vendor, imported material, and freight documents, each with its own layout and its own rules. Automating it was the obvious move, but accuracy was the blocker: an extraction pipeline sitting in the 60% is fine for a demo and unusable in production, where every miss is a payment error someone has to chase down.
