SAP VIM training online.At your own pace.
No calendar, no travel budget: OpenText Vendor Invoice Management from the ground up, as a self-paced video course. Written and recorded by someone who has been implementing VIM in customer projects for over a decade.
The trainer
From the official OpenText bootcamp to a video course.
During his time at OpenText, Johannes Auer delivered the official five-day VIM Consultant Bootcamp for OpenText Learning Services multiple times — live online and on site, including South Africa and Australia. The Masterclass carries the same depth, minus the travel budget and at your own pace.
What the Masterclass covers
01
Architecture and process flow
How VIM is built and how an invoice travels through the process — the foundation without which any customizing stays guesswork.
02
From intake to DP document
What happens on arrival, how the DP document is created and which data carries it.
03
Business rules and role determination
How VIM decides what happens to a document and who works on it.
04
Exceptions and blocks
The path to the posted invoice: every exception, every block — and how both are cleared.
05
Customizing down to the Z-Constants table
The levers in the system, including the tables that no standard documentation explains well.
06
Capture validation
In the companion course: how document recognition learns sustainably instead of guessing anew on every invoice.

On-demand or team training?
The video course is the way to go if you learn on your own, want to start immediately and set your own pace. As soon as it is about your system, your processes and your questions, live training is the better choice: tailored, for groups of up to 15, online or on site.

What language are the courses in?
The courses are recorded in English — the language VIM documentation and transactions come in anyway. German-language training is available as custom team training.
Do I need prior SAP VIM knowledge?
No. The Masterclass starts at the architecture and builds from there. Basic SAP knowledge — navigation, document handling — helps a lot though, because the course focuses on VIM and does not repeat SAP fundamentals.
When can I start?
Right away. The course is on-demand: no fixed dates, no start you could miss. A free preview shows how the course is structured before you commit.
Can I book the course for my whole team?
Talk to us — for teams, custom team training is usually the better fit, because it addresses your system and your processes rather than the generic standard.
“On this page you can find my current range of courses. I am constantly expanding the range and adding more courses to the programme. If you have any suggestions for a new VIM training course, please let me know. Thank you very much!”
