EDP Renováveis ​​optimizes the process of receiving and recording Service Invoices with ECG

For data autonomy and reliability, the company was looking for fiscal solutions, so that receipt and conference operation invoices and the possibility of errors were verified a solution.

Project Overview

The ECG E-FDoc – NFSe Inbound Solution from NTT DATA Solutions was chosen after an assessment of functionality issues by EDPR Business Inbound. It was to implement a tool that would optimize the process of receipt and bookkeeping of notes from precision services, concessionaires, in addition to contributing to the improvement of communication with internal and external customers in compliance with the internal payment policy. The process was time-consuming, manual and repetitive, without digital control of the information, causing low reliability of the imputed data.

Project Details

Renováveis, with updated receipt of tax documents for manual processing, no equipment for tax documents for manual processing, lean and need to supply documents to other internal and complementary teams, does not provide an ECG tool for other internal and complete teams, and does not provide an ECG tool, with a user-friendly interface and a cockpit in SAP, with four input possibilities, good cost x ratio, in addition to the creation of personalized flows and the possibility of expansion to other tax benefit models. The main challenge was the implementation as customizations of the client project in the automation, such as: several order items for only one NFS-e, tax attachments in the MIRO accounting documents, among others.

And, therefore, the commitment of the teams were decisive factors for this project to be considered a success case, the importance of participation
of the business areas in the implementation process at all stages of the project, including integrated tests.

Project Evaluation

With NFS-ebound, EDliminous fills a manual process, and the user hours process with repetitive and anticipating focus was directional
for analyzing the information and not for inserting it into the system. Another relevant point for the team is related to the ease of meeting compliance demands and
external audits, no issue availability of tax documents.

EDP ​​Renováveis ​​has in its DNA the commitment to innovation and new technologies, and therefore, it is already studying new implementations of other ECG modules and automation of
previous processes in the NFSe for the near future.
