Mining operations do not follow a standard invoice pattern. Equipment procurement involves long lead times, staged payments, import documentation, and supplier invoices that often reference contracts rather than standard purchase orders. When the UAE’s FTA e-invoicing requirements started becoming a near-term operational reality, a UAE-based mining company recognized that their invoice environment was going to need more than a basic compliance tool. They chose an AI-enabled UAE e-invoice solution with the depth to handle what their procurement flows actually look like.
The business runs SAP as its core enterprise system. But the nature of mining procurement means a significant proportion of their invoices are non-standard: partial delivery billing for bulk materials, invoices referencing framework agreements rather than discrete POs, cross-border supplier documents in multiple currencies and formats. Accely’s initial discovery phase spent considerable time understanding these flows before any configuration began. Getting the edge cases right at the design stage is worth considerably more than trying to fix rejections after go-live.
There is also a dimension specific to the mining sector that most e-invoice implementations do not encounter. Equipment maintenance and parts procurement involves a long tail of suppliers, many of them regional specialists with limited capacity to adapt quickly to new document format requirements. Managing the supplier enablement process, helping smaller suppliers understand what a Peppol-compliant invoice looks like and how to generate one, is as much a part of this engagement as the SAP configuration work itself.
Accely’s team is currently in the implementation phase, with the core SAP configuration completed and supplier onboarding now underway. The client’s procurement team is involved directly in the supplier outreach, which speeds adoption considerably. Internal ownership of the supplier enablement process makes a real difference when you are dealing with a fragmented supplier base.
The engagement is on track for completion within the planned window. The client’s finance leadership has been closely involved throughout, which has helped resolve the inevitable internal questions about process changes without the kind of delays that often slow multi-stakeholder implementations.
Accely standing as a SAP gold partner gave the mining company confidence that the compliance implementation would be handled by a team that understands both the SAP landscape and the UAE regulatory environment in equal depth.
