NEC Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd. Based in Singapore is responsible of providing IT solutions and services for all 9 NEC subsidiaries located across South East Asia and Oceania.
NEC wasted time chasing down managers who are on the road to approve purchase orders. The purchase order approval process became a bottleneck to getting best prices for your purchases and ensuring on-time delivery.
Timely approvals of Purchase Orders and Purchase Requisitions is key. This is difficult however when managers are mostly in the field and not in front of an SAP terminal.
Use Salesforce to Enable Approvals Directly from Mobile Devices The solution is simple: leverage Salesforce to make it possible for managers to approve purchase orders from their mobile devices simply by replying to an email or chat message. However, it can be complex and time-consuming to mobilize the approval process.
With Overcast as an add-on to Salesforce.com, you can quickly and securely enable support for SAP Purchase Order Approvals on Salesforce – without installing any software or modifying or upgrading your SAP system.
Extract from SAP POs waiting to be approved into Salesforce.com, start a workflow and post results back into SAP to execute the purchase.
Approval hierarchies and other master data are replicated from SAP to Salesforce to ensure a friction-less end-to-end process. SAP as the long-term
data storage and system of record will keep an audit trail of who approved the PO.
