Similarly to many other taxpayers in Poland, Schnellecke Logistics, an internationally operational logistics service provider based in Wolfsburg, Germany, was facing the challenge of preparing their S\/4HANA landscape for Poland\u2019s brand new B2B e-invoicing mandate.<\/p>

To this purpose, Schnellecke made the strategic decision to introduce SAP\u2019s standard functionality for legal requirements worldwide: SAP Document and Reporting Compliance (SAP DRC)<\/strong>, with PIKON as their implementation partner. The SAP DRC solution provides Schnellecke with a KSeF-compliant, future-proof, automated and end-to-end e-invoicing set-up, which is fully integrated into their SAP landscape. This allows Schnellecke to keep their focus on what they do best: providing innovative and sustainable solutions for complex supply chains; while SAP DRC supports and automates local reporting requirements.<\/p>

To optimize the setup process for SAP DRC, Schnellecke teamed up with PIKON. From start to finish, PIKON supported all implementation facets from invoicing process analysis to standard e-invoicing configuration, custom adaptation, connectivity to the tax authority (test) portal, user training, user testing guidance, go-live and hypercare.<\/p>

With this joint DRC project as a pilot, Schnellecke established a solid foundation not only for Poland\u2019s legal requirements, but also for any forthcoming regulatory challenges on the horizon. In that sense, the next E-Invoicing and E-Reporting project is already being planned jointly with PIKON<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

As a prominent global player, Schnellecke is facing increasingly more electronic reporting requirements worldwide. Against that backdrop, Schnellecke approached PIKON with a clear interest in SAP DRC: SAP\u2019s standard functionality to cover legal requirements worldwide, in an end-to-end fashion. This was fully in line with PIKON\u2019s expertise and SAP DRC-first strategy when confronted with the implementation of legal obligations.<\/p>

Presented with the imminent B2B KSeF e-invoicing requirements, the course was set for a pilot SAP DRC implementation for Poland. The goal was twofold: making Schnellecke\u2019s SAP S\/4HANA environment KSeF compliant in the most efficient and effective manner, while simultaneously laying a solid and scalable foundation for future DRC rollouts across the globe. Both goals were to be met from both a system and collaboration perspective.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
