2 BUSINESS CASE

2.1 Regulatory Requirements from Tax Authorities


In 2023/2024, the Malaysia and Singapore Tax Authorities have separately announced the regulatory
requirement to transmit e-invoices to the tax authorities. With the increased access and visibility to the
invoicing details issued by the businesses, the tax authorities hope to enhance tax transparency, improve tax
compliance and reduce tax evasion cases.

• For Malaysia, the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (IRBM) has begun implementing e-invoicing
progressively, starting from 1 August 2024 for large taxpayers with annual revenue of more than RM100
million. By 1 July 2025, all taxpayers are required to submit e-invoices to IRBM unless they are specifically
exempted. To help businesses adjust to the new e-invoicing requirements, a 6-month grace period from
1 July 2025 to 31 December 2025 has been granted to allow an option for taxpayers to issue monthly
consolidated e-invoices for all transactions.

• For Singapore, the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS) has announced the following timeline
for GST-registered businesses to use InvoiceNow solutions to transmit invoice data to IRAS for tax
administration.
(a) From 1 November 2025, for newly incorporated companies1 that register for GST voluntarily.
(b) From 1 April 2026, for all new voluntary GST-registrants, regardless of incorporation date or business
constitution.

IRAS also indicated that there are plans to progressively implement the GST InvoiceNow Requirement for
the remaining GST-registered businesses.

FEO operates in both countries:


- Malaysia: 2 entities
- Singapore: 190 entities (including 80 GST-registered entities)

Since manual submission to the Tax Authorities is both prone to human error and inefficient, it is essential to
implement a solution that ensures compliance with regulatory requirements and ensure continuity of
business operations.

1
These are companies that are incorporated within 6 months from the time they submit their application for GST
registration.
FEO e-Invoicing Implementation
REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL
2.2 Productivity Improvement for Invoice Processing
For FEO, The Accounts Receivable (AR) and Account Payable (AP) functions are centrally supported by FEO
Finance Shared Services team in Singapore. The implementation of e-Invoicing solution will enable FEO to
connect to the PEPPOL network and send/receive e-invoices with minimal manual intervention. This will
streamline digital payment processes and improve overall efficiency for both AR and AP.

2.3 User base and invoice volume


FEO performed a preliminary analysis to estimate the user count and invoice volume. The numbers are
indicative and subject to change.

User count at implementation:


- AP: 10 users
- AR: 10 users
- Tax: 5 users
- Financial Reporting: 4 users

Estimated volume for 2025:


Malaysia Singapore

2025 Estimation - AP B2B/B2G B2C B2B/B2G B2C


From Local Suppliers 4,415
132,193 (excluding ~70,800 property tax)
From Foreign Suppliers 203

2025 Estimation – AP TOTAL 136,811

2025 Estimation - AR B2B/B2G B2C B2B/B2G B2C

Leasing 43 2,101 39,939 29,617


Hotel (AR Billing) 5,082 - 119,218 -

Hotel (Non-AR Billing)2 24,884 1,989 391,937 69,205

SR (AR Billing) - - 27,400 -


SR (Non-AR Billing) 2
- - 1,699 13,625
ABG - - 2,025 2,475
Intercompany - - 10,000 -
Others (Corporate Functions, SLG Sales) - - 1,465 4,296

2025 Estimation – AR TOTAL 747,000

FEO also has entities in overseas countries such as Japan and Australia. Although there are no regulatory
requirements at this stage, the e-Invoicing capability should be implemented for those entities so that FEO
can choose to exchange e-invoices with partners (suppliers and customers) whenever required.

2.4 System Selection

FEO uses SAP S/4HANA as the ERP system. SAP has launched SAP Document and Reporting Compliance (SAP
DRC) module which offers e-Invoicing Solution Worldwide:

2
Includes tax payment, F&B point of sale, corporate bookings without credit facility (settled by credit card)
FEO e-Invoicing Implementation
REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL
- SAP DRC is built on SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) and natively integrated with SAP ERP
- SAP DRC consists of country versions to support local regulatory requirements mandated by various
countries, including Malaysia and Singapore
- SAP DRC has the capability to connect with non-SAP ERP systems/invoicing systems

FEO will adopt SAP DRC as the FEO e-Invoicing solution to fulfil the regulatory requirements. This RFP is to
seek IT professional services from an information technology service company ("Partner”) to implement SAP
DRC for FEO and have it compliant with regulatory requirements for both Malaysia and Singapore within the
mandated timeline.

To help bidders assess the implementation scope, FEO has compiled a list of requirements in this RFP. This
list should only be used as reference, and it is subjected to change from detailed business requirement
gathering and end state process design. Bidders should highlight those requirements that standard e-
Invoicing functionality may not be able to address, recommend customization/alternative solution and
include a brief description of the rationale for that recommendation.

3 SYSTEM INFRASTRUTURE

3.1 Current System Landscape

For Accounts Payable, all invoices are processed in FEO SAP S/4HANA Release 2022, via OpenText Vendor
Invoice Management System (VIM) Release 20.4.

For Accounts Receivable, there are various systems generating invoices to FEO customers and business
partners, including inter-company invoices:
System Business Country
SAP S/4HANA FEO ERP System Singapore, Malaysia, Japan,
Australia
Opera Property Management System for Hotels Singapore, Malaysia, Japan,
Australia
HMS Property Management System for Serviced Singapore, Australia
Residences
Sitelink System for Agape Business Group’s storage Singapore
business
Laundry Management System for Agape Business Group’s laundry Singapore
System (LMS) business
Point of Sales (POS) Systems used in hotels for banquet Singapore

3.2 Future System Landscape


With the implementation of SAP DRC, FEO expects invoices, generated by SAP and non-SAP systems, are
transmitted to Tax Authorities based on their regulatory requirements. FEO should also be able to exchange
e-Invoices with partners (suppliers and customers) if they have the capability to send/receive e-invoices.

Bidders are required to provide a comprehensive Future System Landscape to elaborate the interfaces and
data flow amongst all systems and parties involved in the e-Invoicing processing.
FEO e-Invoicing Implementation
REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL
4 IMPLEMENTATION BLUEPRINT
The Bidder should propose an Implementation Blueprint based on their understanding and due diligence.
FEO is open to adopt parts or all the proposed Blueprint and rollout, e.g. Big Bang or phased approach (e.g.,
by countries) with the condition that all regulatory mandated dates must be met, and it introduces minimal
impact to existing systems and operations (“Business Downtime”).

requests a waiver from the timeline must make the request in writing and receive FEO’s written consent.

1.5 COST OF RFP PREPARATION

discussions or negotiation give rise to a claim or billable obligation, or reimbursement obligation on the part
of FEO for any costs or expenses incurred by the Bidder in connection with its evaluation of this RFP document
and/or the preparation and submission of the Bidder’s proposal, nor shall FEO be liable for the same. For the

1.1 PROJECT GOALS AND OBJECTVES


The goal of this implementation is to implement SAP DRC as the FEO e-Invoicing solution by the mandated
dates from Malaysia and Singapore tax authorities.

This implementation must meet the following objectives:


1) All invoices, including credit notes, debit notes, etc, can be transmitted to the Tax Authorities at the
required timing and in the appropriated format according to the regulatory requirements, with
minimal human intervention.
2) S/4HANA system is enhanced to connect to SAP DRC, and able to fulfil the required functionality on
e-Invoicing.
3) Non-SAP systems, including Opera, POS, HMS, Sitelink and LMS, are connected to SAP DRC, and able
to fulfil the required functionality on e-Invoicing.
4) FEO entities are registered in the e-invoicing (PEPPOL) network and able to exchange e-invoices,
including credit notes, debit notes, etc, with other parties (suppliers and customers) who are also
registered in the network
5) FEO Finance users are trained and able to use the solution to support their processes including but
not limited to reconciliation and tax reporting.
