SAP Vendor Invoice Management(VIM) by OpenText (Udemy.com)

SAP Finance Vendor Invoice Management, Open text VIM, Account payable automation - Basic to Advanced Level Course

4.6

Last updated February 2021

Our take

Based on the ratings of 1,488 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in February 2021. No course pays to be reviewed.

This is a short, focused course on OpenText Vendor Invoice Management, the add-on that automates invoice handling in SAP S/4HANA. It runs about four hours across 22 lectures in four sections, and roughly two and a half hours of that goes to document processing. It is aimed at working SAP people: FICO, MM and workflow consultants who already know accounts payable and invoice verification. Raja R, the instructor, has done more than ten VIM implementations.

Most of the 1,488 reviews are positive, with 707 five-star and 565 four-star. Reviewers like the step-by-step flow, the simple language and the project demo, and several say it gave them a solid base for a live implementation. The complaints are consistent too. Some find the pace fast and the accent hard to follow, and one says the captions do not match the audio. Others want more exception-case examples, an explanation of why each field matters, and coverage of OCR setup, VIM reporting and tables.

The material was last updated in February 2021, so check that the version shown is close to the system at hand. It is paid, and learners must bring their own SAP system with the VIM add-on, because none is provided. Beginners struggled most, with one newcomer lost on transaction codes. For a consultant who needs a quick orientation to VIM configuration and process flow, it is a sensible start. Anyone expecting a full implementation guide will want a second source.

Best forSAP MM or FICO consultants who know invoice verification and want VIM configuration basics before a project.
Skip it ifYou are new to SAP, or need OCR setup, VIM reporting and tables, which reviewers say are missing.

Pros

  • Step-by-step flow with a project demo that reviewers find easy to follow
  • Taught by a consultant with more than ten VIM implementations on SAP
  • Covers process types, process options and roles, not just the business flow
  • Short at about four hours, with most time on document processing

Cons

  • Reviewers say OCR setup, VIM reporting and tables are not covered
  • Fast pace, an accent some find hard to follow, and captions that don't match
  • Last updated February 2021, and no practice SAP system is provided
Very detailed step-by-step course with examples. I learned a lot and will recommend it to anyone wanting to learn SAP VIM configuration.
Lorraine Imbus, a student

Marked All Levels, but it assumes SAP MM or FICO basics, accounts payable knowledge and some workflow understanding.

By Sangeet Rajan on 8/4/2023

I think you should explain more about why east step is being done. some places BC configurations etc., there is no explanation why something needs to be done a certain way.

By Tony Butcher on 4/20/2023

The presenter is speaking just a little bit too fast. Also, there are white boxes on the screen that block some of the visuals throughout the presentation (This is resolved by shutting down the browser and re-opening).
