Autoneum engaged with Origen to support a business requirement to form new legal companies in Mexico along with the configuration of SAP to match the new legal structure. The main pain point were changes in Mexican tax laws that made it monetarily advantageous to have a physical presence in Mexico rather than to operate a shelter organization from the United States. For that, 2 new Companies (one productive and the other services) were needed to be set-up in SAP with the correct structure to operate in Mexico including the e-invoice for Mexico requirement (CFDI).
Autoneum Case
SAP Mexico Rollout Project with Mexico CFDI E-Invoice implementation
Situation:
Feedback from Autoneum:
- The Origen team was professional, knowledgeable and dedicated from all levels of the organization.
- Excellent knowledge of mexican localization for SAP
- Bilingual consultants (English-Spanish) was a key factor as the PAC only spoke Spanish and Automeum key users only spoke English
- Flexibility to help rework Autoneum’s staffing requirements after the blueprint phase and focus resources where needed.
- The leadership demonstrated by Origen project manager with Autoneum’s PAC helped to avoid problems and delays by managing meetings and tasks independently.
Results
The successful rollout of SAP with the integration described above allowed Autoneum to meet their customers’ demands without interruption as well as to report to the SAT and avoid any tax penalties.
