Understanding of SAP's Document Management System, particularly General Object Services (GOS) or ArchiveLink, is crucial for handling invoice attachments in SAP. GOS provides functions for attaching, listing, searching, and editing documents in SAP, enhancing the overall document management capabilities. ArchiveLink serves as a tool for document archiving.

Downloading documents from SAP
The relevant invoice documents are downloaded by the customer using the zapattachmentconsole and provided to zapliance via a OneDrive exchange folder. The download is carried out together with zapliance to configure SAP connection data and commands.
Azure OpenAI
To analyze the downloaded attachments, we utilize Microsoft Document Intelligence and Microsoft Azure OpenAI for advanced AI technologies, including GPT-4o. Further instructional documents are provided for further discussion.

Microsoft OpenAI costs: Downloading documents costs approximately €1,000–2,000. For 10,000 documents and 15,000 attachments, the costs are around €2,000.
Azure services can be set up either at the customer's site or via the zapliance Azure tenant. If the customer chooses to use their own Azure services, zapliance requires access to the API and endpoints of the customer's Azure environment.
After the project ends, the endpoints can be deactivated or the corresponding Azure resources deleted.
Deployment and Use of Azure Services with zapliance
If the zapliance Azure tenant is used, no further setup of Azure services is required from the customer. All analyses will be monitored by zapliance.
Impact on the SAP System
In over 2000 projects, there have been no impacts on R3, ECC, or S4 systems.
