Despite the expected advantages, the launching of the SAP workflow often hinges
on the attendant costs. This is due to the fact that all employees to be included
in
the SAP workflow also have to have SAP workstations available to them.
The need to obtain additional licenses for sophisticated SAP workstations in order
to involve employees in simple workflow tasks and the associated training effort
required
is the reason why so many ambitious projects are put on the back burner.
The integrated workflow in PAM for ERP Enterprise is an interesting and economical
solution for this dilemma. The appeal of the H&S workflow solution is the bridge
it
creates between the SAP and document management environments.
Example:
An incoming invoice is scanned and initially assigned to an account in SAP. This
triggers an SAP workflow for releasing invoices which immediately passes the task
on to the
PAM for ERP Enterprise workflow system.
The entire verification process now takes place outside of SAP and in accordance
with the set of rules defined in PAM for ERP Enterprise. The last activity is to
return the task to the original SAP workflow item.
Due to the reasonably priced user licenses, ALL employees can be included in the
enterprise-wide electronic processes. The workflow application is just as easy to
use
as an online store.
