The Target system configuration dialog: SAP S/4HANA Cloud ES

Use these settings to configure the SAP S/4HANA Cloud ES target system.

To access this dialog: Select a Services node in the administration tree-view, select and click Configuration.

The services and settings available can vary, depending on your role and which Services node you selected in the administration tree. Use these settings to specify settings for the target service.

Output image format Determines the format of the output invoices.
  • TIF - A black and white TIF image.
  • PDF - If the original PDF is color, the output PDF is also color. Original text layers are preserved. If the original PDF does not contain text layers, Kofax AP Essentials adds text layers from the interpreted data.
  • PDF (black and white) - A black and white PDF. Original text layers are discarded and recreated using Kofax AP Essentials's own interpretation results, however, text layers are not created if the document exceeds 100 pages.

    Choose this setting for the smallest file size.

    When Kofax AP Essentials receives XML invoices, it creates invoice images that may contain color; however, the file size is still small.

  • No image - Invoice images are not sent to the target system. Only invoice data is sent.

If you change the output format, the change only applies to invoices that you upload after the change was made. Invoices that are already in the system at the time of the change are not affected.
