1 Introduction
These Release Notes provide an overview of OpenText™ Vendor Invoice Management for SAP®
Invoice Solutions Version 7.6 SPS2, including new features, delivery information, and supported
platforms. OpenText recommends that you read these Release Notes in conjunction with the
documentation included with the software package. If any conflicts exist, the Release Notes supersede
the other documentation.

We also recommend that you check OpenText My Support (https://support.opentext.com) for any
patches or documentation updates that may have been posted after the initial release of this product.

1.1 Release Naming Information

Since 2020 OpenText has adopted release numbers using the format „<Calender Year><Quarter>“
e.g. “20.4”. In general an OpenText VIM release number might translate into a major release or
translate into a Support Package Stack for an existing release. In case of a Support Package Stack
(SPS) the “technical” version number will then be „<major release> SPS <SPS counter>“. For more
information on release names, see the SAP Note 2339256.
The technical release number of SAP Invoice Management 7.6 that is being released in 4th quarter of
2021 is “7.6 SPS2”. The release name for this package is “21.4 for ECC”.
Note that the corresponding release and technical release names of the current SAP Invoice
Management solution for S/4HANA are “21.4 for S/4HANA” and “20.4 SPS2”. When downloading the
additional components from OpenText MySupport, make sure to navigate to the right folder (S/4HANA
or ECC).

2 About OpenText™ Vendor Invoice Management for
SAP® Invoice Solutions
Welcome to OpenText Vendor Invoice Management (VIM). VIM is an add-on that works with existing
SAP ERP systems to streamline accounts payable operations.

This section provides an overview of OpenText™ Vendor Invoice Management for SAP® Invoice
Solutions Version 7.6 Support Package Stack 2.

The support package contains quality improvements as well as enhancements for OpenText Vendor
Invoice Management 7.6.

2.1 General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a new European Union (EU) law that gives residents
greater protection and control of their personal data. It regulates the data that companies in and outside
the EU can collect, store, and transfer – as well as how they use it. All companies that process EU
resident data must be ready to comply with the GDPR.

SAP S/4HANA provides a superior level of user security and data protection features. VIM as add-on
package profits from the high standard of S/4HANA compared to outside-in solutions with their own
database, duplication of data, and lower level security concepts.

Software solutions like VIM cannot be or not be GDPR compliant. Every customer using SAP S/4HANA
and VIM is responsible to provide GDPR compliance in their organization.

Several VIM features and additional details listed in product documentation can help clients to achieve
GDPR compliance.

5.1.5 VIM Foundation and Additional Components
VIM 7.5 customers could implement additional scenarios like inbound processing or Fiori apps based
on Open Text Business Center (also known as SAP Digital Content Processing). That also included
business solutions based on Business Center, for example for sales order processing.

Starting with VIM 7.6, all components that were formerly part of Business Center are now included
into VIM and are being sold as one product, for invoice and non-invoice solutions. This also includes
VIM Foundation components, formerly BC Base and Foundation, now mandatory to be installed for all
scenarios.

The license unit of VIM has been changed from “invoices” to “documents”.

Note that in case you have installed Business Center 16.3 or older version, the technical components
like OTBCBAS will be replaced with ones containing “7.6” in their names.

The commercial license for VIM does not include any OCR options, that requires a separate license.

Make sure to review OpenText VIM Foundation 7.6 Release Notes and documentation in addition to
VIM Invoice Solution Release Notes and documentation.

The following sections refer to invoice scenarios, and the term VIM will be used to refer to the
technical VIM product that automates and processes invoices.

5.1.6 Packages and Transports for Additional Scenarios

Several additional packages are delivered along with the product. This section lists those that are
updated and provided with VIM 7.6 SPS2. A complete list of all additional packages can be found in

5.1.8 Flexible installation of Framework and Inbound components

OpenText recommends to update all components of VIM regularly. Ideally the versions correspond to
the combinations listed in the previous section. If upgrading VIM Invoice Solution is not possible, VIM

OpenText™ Vendor Invoice Management for SAP® Solutions Version 7.6 SPS2 Release Notes
18
supports the use of more recent versions of VIM Foundation and Inbound components with older
versions of VIM Invoice Solution. This currently supports the following scenario:
• VIM Inbound component.
This allows you to use recently introduced inbound scenarios like integration with OpenText™
Information Extraction Service for SAP® Solutions (IES) or electronic invoices without
upgrading VIM, by using the technical component OTBCSL30.
Note: “Information Extraction Service” (“IES”) is used in this documentation as a common
technical term for both of the following OpenText products:
• OpenText™ Intelligent Capture for SAP® Solutions, formerly known as OpenText™
Information Extraction Service for SAP® Solutions (IES on premise)
• OpenText™ Core Capture for SAP® Solutions
Notes:
• Flexible installation is not reflected in the SAP Maintenance Planner. If you are using
exclusively Maintenance Planner to manage your systems, flexible installation is not
possible. You must install components by downloading them from OpenText MySupport
and proceeding with SAINT or SPAM transactions.
• If you use VIM only for non-invoice processes and it is not used for VIM inbound
scenarios for invoices, there are no restrictions on the combination of VIM Invoice
Solution and VIM Foundation versions.
• The flexible installation option does currently not support scenarios with VIM Fiori apps.
For VIM Fiori apps, you must use the versions as described in the section “Compatibility
and support package information”.
The flexible installation is supported for VIM 7.5 SP5 and later Support Packages. Business
Center and Business Center based components like OTBCSL03 and OTBCSL30 must be based on
