Customer: Uniper


Industry: Utilities


 

Operating in more than 40 countries, Uniper SE generates, trades, and markets energy as well as procuring, storing, transporting, and supplying commodities such as natural gas, liquefied natural gas (LNG), and coal. Committed to helping fulfil our customers’ complex energy needs, they are working toward our vision of a carbon-free business by 2035.


Requesting workflow roles, as well as release limits for the invoice verification and purchase requisition workflow, is a very complex topic with lots of legal and compliance rules. In the past, the excel-spreadsheet had to be filled out first. The request then was sent via email to line management for signature. After execution, the request has to be closed and download a PDF and TXT file was needed. This has led to many problems.

To improve the overall user experience and to ensure a smooth Delegation of Authority (DoA) request process with right authorisation for approving invoices or purchase requisition, SAP Workflow Management was used. It is the simple yet powerful solution to optimize time and improve efficiency in Supplier Payment Processing. Business rules are used to provide needed roles and approval actions based on the request, and Workflow orchestrates the entire data collections and service calls to SAP-HR, SuccessFactors, SAP-ERP and SAP-GRC systems.
