Automation of procurement processes through conversion to SAP delivery schedules
Challenges
- Manual processing of recurring orders ties up too many resources in the company and is to be replaced by automated purchasing processes
- Coordination of forecasts for delivery quantities with suppliers based on Excel lists
- Manual efforts in purchasing and scheduling are to be reduced
