An evaluation tool is to be created for the procurement department of a logistics company, to be used for the documentation and analysis of the awarding of contracts. In this report, the purchaser documents, among other things, whether a request for quotations can be dispensed with.
Supplement
A selection screen enables the quick input of documentation for the placement of orders. The fields of the currently used Word form appear on a sub-selection screen. Existing order placement documents can also be selected, displayed, and analyzed. The newly gathered data is stored in an SAP table in the customer namespace. By pressing a button you can print a document (SAP Smart Forms) which is based on the current Word form. This printout can be archived in digital form and linked to the original order.
Subject description
According to the company’s valid procurement guidelines, a request for quotations is obligatory starting at a definite procurement volume. Direct awards must therefore be justified, approved, and documented. An additional workflow will be implemented using SAP Business Workflow to support this approval process.
