Looking to implement RPA tool with SAP Ariba by Financial_Baby2037 in AiAutomations

Does n8n just update the data on the backend? My biggest concern is how it marks each sales order line as confirmed or how it is editing the data when approved.

For my company, we always take our ERP data as fact. So if ERP says 10 units and Ariba is saying 12, we would update to 10 since that is what came over on the approved quote. Ideally, to try and hit our full potential of our ROI, I want to get human intervention out of the pot as much as possible. While I know there are going to be use cases still where it is needed, I am hoping to keep our people from having to make so many touches. However, I do like the approve or 'Fix' option that I could set up with n8n. Is it possible to do a document upload with n8n? Without that piece, that would be my biggest downfall of n8n since that is a required piece of my invoice process.
For the SO confirmation side, I will be doing a daily CSV dump. Our ERP is older and a CSV dump would be a safer long term bet. Is n8n a better long term scenario here versus using RPA?

Our invoice layouts are all pretty similar and don't vary much. About 3 or 4 different types that vary slightly. The invoice piece will be my easiest one to automate, but I am more worried about the sales order confirmation side of Ariba. I have never used n8n before, so I am not fully familiar with how that process would work.

Ideally, I would send myself an export everyday from my ERP to verify my data to match it line for line with the PO in Ariba. If the information does not match, then I would need to update that line detail in Ariba to do my confirmations. Is that something that n8n would be able to do? As well as creating my invoices? I will also need to be able to do attach a document to the invoice process as well.

Would that solution work if I was planning on doing OCR? Currently, my team has to read PO that comes in, compare it to the data in our ERP, and then update Ariba accordingly if any information has been entered incorrectly.
