“Bringing the various corporate departments in-line with the same purchasing process as operations provides many benefits. This greatly reduces cost allocation errors as the end user directly assigns the proper coding within the SAP transaction.”

–Zachary Light

Overview

In order to improve the procurement process in the Alpharetta office, a user or users have been selected from each department and trained on how to create Purchase requisitions for services and receiving them on SAP. This new process has been implemented and started on the past 1st of March of 2022.

Improvements

• Reduce the current set aside list of invoices to be paid, that have not been received.
• New users are now trained to use the header text field to give a brief explanation for the PO requested.

Benefits

• Department receiving the service now have the context needed to perform the service receivable as soon as they can in SAP, maintaining the process flow and get invoices paid on time for our vendors.
• Centralizing the information for PO approvers reduce the time needed for each approval.
