Purchasing

Requirement request app

Problem

Without a workflow management system, purchase requisitions are often fed into the approval process in paper form
The manual handling of documents results in a high level of maintenance and communication effort at various levels
In addition, the status of the respective request remains opaque – the process may “lie” unprocessed at some point

Solution

The app can be used to send purchase requisitions directly to the company’s ERP system
A release workflow automatically forwards the request to the next higher instance for review if the release limit is exceeded
Alternatively, items from the store integrated via OCI can also be created as a requirement request

Impact

BANF process faster, more transparent, more secure.

Now the live status of each request can be viewed and historical data can be accessed.

Monitoring and reporting are also handled in the same app so that these work steps no longer have to be handled in different systems. The digitalization of the process can significantly increase transparency.
