Regulatory reporting for a food and beverage group operating across multiple countries is not one compliance problem. There are a dozen of them running in parallel, each with its own submission format, its own deadline, and its own local authority with opinions about what counts as acceptable documentation. A global F&B company reached the point where managing that through country-by-country workarounds stopped being sustainable, and engaged Accely for a SAP DRC (Document and Reporting Compliance) implementation across the group.
DRC sits inside the SAP landscape and handles the generation, validation, and submission of statutory documents. For this client, the scope covers e-invoicing in several markets, VAT reporting, and country-specific statutory filings that had previously been prepared partially outside SAP. Bringing all of that into a single SAP DRC (Document and Reporting Compliance) framework means the group finance team is no longer reconciling outputs from four different processes at quarter close.
Accely started with a document inventory. Every statutory output the group produces, mapped by country, entity, and current handling method. That exercise surfaced things nobody had a complete picture of, including several filings being prepared manually by local finance teams with no central visibility.
The rollout is phased by the market. The highest-volume and highest-risk jurisdictions first, with the smaller entities following once the framework is proven.
Food and beverage adds its own wrinkle. Product classification affects tax treatment in several markets, and getting that classification logic right inside DRC was a significant piece of the configuration work.
Accely’s role as the group’s SAP implementation partner continues into the remaining markets, with the compliance architecture conversation running alongside the build.
