Understanding RPA

Definition: Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is a subset of AI that enables the configuration of software “robots” to automate routine tasks by capturing data and following structured inputs and business logic.

Implementation and Cost: RPA bots are easy to implement and cost-effective as they do not require deep systems integration or custom software.

Is RPA on its way out or up?

Robotic process automation (RPA) has been weighed and measured, and we know what the future holds for our task-automating friend in 2024.

RPA falls under the umbrella of intelligent automation (IA), which also includes business process management (BPM), artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML). So, does standalone RPA still live up to its hype? Has enterprise-wide automation completely consumed it, or is generative AI finally pushing it to the curb?

What is the future scope of RPA?

RPA is now in use in many organizations, but what else can it do than automate monotonous tasks? It’s only getting started. More firms will take the plunge into automation and explore new business opportunities. As we enter the new year, many firms will prioritize lowering costs, improving customer service, and enhancing security, governance, and compliance in accordance with expanding environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards.

As you are aware, generative AI is inextricably linked to RPA. As new technical improvements emerge from generation AI, RPA will grow to produce even greater efficiency and production.

What Are the Trends in RPA?

We’ve narrowed our 2024 predictions down to 7 RPA trends involving:

• Generative AI + intelligent automation.
• Digital worker-first processes.
• Evolving from pure play to platform play.
• Strategic applications.
• Better user accessibility for citizen developers.
• Ethical automation and ESG compliance.
• Governance and security.

1. RPA adoption Will Increase Manifold

Due to their efficiency and cost-effectiveness, RPA will continue to be a critical part of business processes.

According to the report, Robotic Process Automation Market Growth & Trends by Grand View Research, the global RPA market size is anticipated to reach USD 30.85 billion by 2030.

Gartner’s Competitive Landscape: Business Process Automation report adds, “By 2025, 70% of enterprises in all industries will have engaged digital business model transformation services to implement analytics-driven business decisions and management capabilities.”

Business Process Automation can help streamline operations by reducing human errors and resource costs. It allows faster and more accurate processing of data. It can interpret transaction-processing applications faster, and as a business tool, communicate effectively with other digital systems.

Any industry with large and complex processes is a natural fit for RPA to reduce overall costs. They allow more dependability in operations.

 

2. RPA Will Strengthen with Support from Other Tools

Enterprises are increasingly seeking seamless integrations, propelling RPA beyond its role as a standalone robotic process tool to an integrated solution alongside machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI).

In the coming years, RPA will undergo further evolution, extending its reach to facilitate processes for broader enterprise utilization. By incorporating natural language processing (NLP), the need for human intervention will diminish, thereby enhancing the efficiency of the standalone RPA platform.

A likely trend will be the emergence of an end-to-end process management platform. As this unfolds, human resources will gradually become less integral to routine activities, allowing them to shift their focus towards strategic planning and plan implementation.

 

3. Accessibility for Citizen Developers

An additional factor propelling this evolution is the widespread adoption of low-code and no-code solutions. This shift ensures that technical expertise is no longer a prerequisite for operating RPA platforms.

Non-technical business teams can harness its capabilities for their operations and processes. By 2024, nearly half of RPA adoptions will originate from departments outside of the IT realm. As its benefits drive business profitability, RPA will transition from being an IT-centric technology to a business technology.

With this expanded user base, RPA may consolidate into a unified platform alongside BPM and intelligent document management platforms.

The overarching expectation is that RPA will transform into an end-to-end platform for optimizing business processes, including industry marketing outreach, in the next year.

 

4. Intelligent Process Automation (IPA) Will Become Mainstream

AI offers promising capabilities to businesses today. IPA represents the fusion of RPA’s rules-based automation with AI’s cognitive insights, heralding a new era in Intelligent Process Automation.

IPA harnesses machine learning and fundamental process redesign, enabling continual learning and improvement over time.

With the anticipated surge in RPA adoption in the years ahead, the market for intelligent process automation is poised for significant growth.

5. RPA Will Strengthen with GenAI

The growing significance of GenAI across various industry sectors will further bolster RPA. GenAI’s capacity to offer actionable insights will merge seamlessly with RPA’s efficiency in process delivery, amplifying the benefits RPA brings to businesses. Consequently, GenAI will equip RPA with orchestration capabilities, enabling intelligent automation of all processes it handles.

6. Driving Sustainable Growth

Enterprises are fast realizing that automation could be the key to a sustainable business organization. RPA will play a key role in achieving the ESG and sustainability goals going forward.

On the face of it, automation enables them to optimize costs across the business, creating more opportunities for standardization with a view to sustainability. RPA enables optimized processes, reducing waste and optimizing utilization of natural resources. Deploying robotic automation will also save energy by cutting back on its usage in physical units.

JD Edwards is a strong system, and the financial capabilities may help you administer your business’s finances smoothly and automatically. However, the amount of data required to keep these systems working can be overwhelming, and things can easily get out of control if not carefully managed. Here are a few frequent issues we’ve seen with JD Edwards financials, as well as ways to avoid them in the first place or resolve them after the fact.

Use the Automated Cash Application Feature.

Tired of the manual cash application grind? It’s time to modernize your approach. Traditionally, companies receive paper checks or lockbox copies, adding complexity with various payment methods like credit cards and PayPal. JDE offers a solution: automated cash application.

Instead of manual data entry, banks and credit card companies send electronic files directly to JDE. Sophisticated algorithms match receipts to invoices, handle unapplied cash, and write off small discrepancies, freeing your staff for other tasks. This not only boosts efficiency but also improves accuracy compared to manual processing. Lockbox payments also reach your bank account faster.

Clients typically achieve 75-80% match rates, with some reaching 95% through optimized invoice and lockbox processes that encourage customers to provide clear remittance information.

Keeping Your General Ledger Balanced

JDE financials rely on two crucial files: the General Ledger (GL) Transaction File and the Trial Balance File. The GL Transaction File details general journal transactions, while the Trial Balance File resembles a monthly balance sheet with account lines. These files must always be synchronized.

In one client project, the Trial Balance File didn’t align with the GL Transaction File, causing inaccurate financials. Here are common reasons for this imbalance:

• Cancelled Post Jobs: During the posting process, JDE updates both the GL and Trial Balance. Cancelling a post job mid-cycle disrupts this process, leaving the files out of sync. In this project, nightly post jobs were delayed and cancelled by the team to start operations on time. The solution involved adjusting the nightly schedule to ensure all jobs finish, preventing future imbalances.

• Data Manipulation: While tempting, changing GL dates in the Transaction File to force entries through a specific period can cause integrity issues. It’s better to post the entry in the correct period and make necessary adjustments later.

• Month-End Close: Ensure all GL transactions are posted and companies within the Trial Balance File are balanced before month-end close. Run JDE integrity reports throughout the month to catch and address errors early.

Maintaining Accurate Records Through Reconciliation

Maintaining organized data requires regular reconciliation. Here are two crucial reconciliations in JDE:

• Inventory Reconciliation: A perpetual inventory not reconciled with the General Ledger can lead to control and audit issues. Our consultants have developed an efficient process to reconcile the inventory system, ensuring its integrity and accurate month-end reporting.

• Received Not Vouchered Reconciliation: This account, especially in older JDE versions, can be challenging to reconcile due to various factors like human error and landed costs not reflected in reports. We’ve helped clients develop automated processes to identify variances, eliminating human error and improving report accuracy.

Both inventory and received not vouchered reconciliations are crucial monthly tasks. A diligent finance team and someone with a deep understanding of the inventory system are essential for successful reconciliation.

These are just a few ways to ensure smooth operation of your JDE financials. If you have specific questions about optimizing JDE for your organization, feel free to contact us.

Make a smart investment with JDE Edwards: real value, real savings.

To begin with, it’s necessary to understand the word ‘Accounts Payable’.  It is the sum of money that a business owes to its vendors or suppliers for the orders or services received but not paid for. It is mentioned in the balance sheet of the company under the head ‘Accounts Payable’.

If AP gets automated then it will benefit the business enterprise with more productivity, reduced expenses, and swiftly managed cash flows…thereby providing clarity in the business work, productivity, transparency, and overall progress of the Company.

Understanding the loopholes, and then setting up Smart Goals to mitigate human-made errors.

Smart stands for an accurate and smart way to achieve time-bound objectives.

One has to prepare Smart Goals and then run the same in AP automation mode. Identify the areas where it is necessary to run the automation that is to identify smart goals and then go ahead with this automation.

The best example is the data entry of every invoice manually. It may take loads of time and will be entered with mistakes and errors. After understanding numerous factors like employee strength, talent, available technology, and budget, this software can be installed.

Smart Goals in the form of: –

•   identifying the best format for feeding the invoices.
•   identifying invoice approving authorities and laying down appropriate approving procedures.
•   defining the number of invoices that will be paid monthly.
•   relevant information for approving the invoices; and
•   handling various invoice issues.

Once the Smart Goal is identified and worked upon, the automation process of AP can run accordingly.

From the above, it is understood that if Smart Goals have been prepared after taking note of all the errors and issues, then the effective Smart Goals will help to formulate and run automatic AP effectively and efficiently.

Smart goals should be clear, specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time bound.

Let us understand every term to define Smart Goals: –

• Specific means that the problem should be identified in the most accurate and precise manner. If problems are not defined properly then the solution to that problem will also not be proper.
• Achievable means that the solution provided should be attainable and realistic to achieve. Setting up proper parameters is making things achievable and acceptable.
• Time Bound means to set up the parameters to be achieved in a defined time. There has to be a real-time defined to achieve the goals.
• Relevant means it should make sense and it is as per the company’s plan and laid down policies.
• Measurable means that it can be described in specific terms like quantity, duration, mass, and size…that is making the goal quantifiable.

Many other incentives, discounts, and lesser penalties are also some goals that can be added to this automation. There are lots of challenges, difficulties, and hurdles to carry out any business objective, but if goals are set then one can work to have a win-win situation over the challenges, difficulties, and hurdles and optimize the results to make it more effective and efficient in achieving the desired targets.

Achieving objectives with the use of Workflow Automation Software: –

Identifying the business challenges, and errors, reducing expenses, and speeding up established processes in the accounting departments can be part of Smart Goals that can be defined and accordingly, Workflow Automation Software can be a smart software to achieve the Smart Goals.

Workflow Automation Software can be instrumental: –

• To send scanned invoices with all defined parameters to the employees of the Company.
• Identifying the errors, improving processes and procedures.
• The data is online and can be easily transmitted to the accounting or ERP system.
• Timely alerts can be issued to employees to complete their tasks.
• All the required information can be easily fed into the software.

Overall business productivity and efficiency can be achieved by setting up Smart Goals and by adopting the Workflow Automation Software in the Accounts Payable department.
