SAP Integration and Process Optimization


The Fiorano Solution : Order Processing and Stock Allocation


  • The Problem
    • SAP R/3 allocates stock immediately for any sales order
    • By the time one reaches the last order, one may have run out of stock
    • Priority orders cannot be processed because available stock has already been pre-allocated to previous orders
    • Rollback needs to be performed manually; not practical to enter all orders into SAP in a single shot
    • Orders not entered into the system until they are ready for dispatch; lack of prioritized allocation of stock a major hindrance
  • The Solution
    • Fiorano flows manage Order Processing
    • Order Entry: All orders can be entered into the system as they are produced
    • Prioritization: Fiorano flows involved to prioritize orders; separation of stock allocation from order entry enables easier prioritization
    • Stock Allocation: Fiorano flow invoked to pick up an order, allocate stock to it “just in time” and send it for invoicing via the optimized 2-step invoicing process.
