Replacing the company\u2019s previous OCR solution, Retarus\u2019 innovative service streamlines the company\u2019s handling of invoices considerably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keller &amp; Kalmbach receives roughly 170,000 invoices annually, in a wide variety of currencies and formats. Each week, around 400 of these invoices are not directly related to a specific order and had to be processed manually. Because their previous OCR solution was unable to execute the extensive software adaptation required to achieve the necessary degree of automation, Keller &amp; Kalmbach opted for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.retarus.com\/services\/intelligent-document-processing\/\">Retarus IDP<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-efficient-automation-with-retarus\">Efficient automation with Retarus<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The IDP solution could be integrated seamlessly into the existing ERP system, allowing inbound invoices to be checked and verified automatically based on the master data, orders, and goods received. By checking that the inbound invoices contain all mandatory details, compliance with \u00a714 UstG (German Value Added Tax Act) is also ensured. Subsequently, the validated invoice details are imported directly into the ERP system and archived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-customized-and-adapted\">Customized and adapted<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Retarus\u2019 IDP solution was customized to fully meet Keller &amp; Kalmbach\u2019s requirements. For instance, to ensure greater precision the master data is reconciled daily. The data is exported in EDIFACT format, meaning that Keller &amp; Kalmbach can conveniently still use their existing interfaces. Other challenges, such as invoices arriving before the goods have been received, were also solved. In such cases, invoices are automatically \u201cparked\u201d within the process until it is confirmed that the goods have been delivered. Other adaptations were successfully implemented, including a script to round off invoice values containing more than two decimal places, the extraction of the country of origin, and the ability to enter cost center information at item level, just to name a few examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For further details please refer to our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.retarus.com\/case-study-keller-kalmbach\/\">latest customer story<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Keller &#038; Kalmbach, global specialists in the field of fasteners and fastening technologies, has automated the processing of inbound invoices with Retarus\u2019 SaaS solution, Intelligent Document Processing (IDP).
