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.
