2. Procurement – Facilities Procurement High Level Flow - Findings 1 Need to have custom report created to improve facilities purchasing spend management Secondary KPI custom report needed 5 Review current SAP package with team to assess; 1) what is currently available, 2) canned vs custom reports 3) hierarchy (reports / purchasing process) SAP functionality – facilities does not have insight 6 Would like SAP functionality that would convert a PR # into a PO #. This would aid in tracking PR / PO conversion / status No functionality to move a PR# / PO # 7 Route the PO electronically to the controller to tie the purchase to the sales tax code prior to going to the buyer The current PR / PO process has gaps regarding tax code 3 Instead of receiving PR’s via fax receive electronically and have queue by buyer Buyer queue (i.e., waiting PR’s) by buyer # 4 Availability for plants to attached supporting docs to PR. Does SAP have capability to attach documents? Attachments supporting an RFQ are faxed to facilities 2 Electronic signature on PR. Appropriate signature level from operations and plant controller AS-IS process mandates the use of the fax machine to provide signed PR to facilities team Priority Opportunity Finding
3. Procurement – Facilities Procurement High-level Flow Findings 2 Since autofax is currently not stable enough for team to have confidence in the buyers can not use. Buyer would like functionality to send the PO and supporting documents to the supplier via EDI, where supply base capabilities exist PO to supplier is a manual process via autofax 1 Would like to use the SAP functionality to assign smart PO #’s A book is kept by each buyer for generating PO #’s. 5 Investigate SAP Functionality No ability to split storeroom PO volume by vendors 4 Instead of continuing this manual process, SAP needs to be used as the repository, not paper. And, SAP functionality needs to meet the desired record keeping the boxes on the stamp provide All PO’s and supporting data (faxed PR, faxed bids, etc) are printed and combined into a packet which is then filed. Before this data is filed the buyer will need to stamp the PO and provide checks alongside the boxes which are applicable to the PO. The available options for the stamp boxes are: requisition, authorization, insurance, job authorization, bids, single source & waiver. 3 This needs to be corrected. AZC may want to look at a global supplier database that is controlled centrally to ensure vendor #’s are controlled. Investigate using a parent child relationship for vendors Some vendors have multiple vendor # s Priority Opportunity Finding
