The Fiorano Solution : Goods Received Notes: MEGO/MIRO

Goods Received Notes - The process:
- When Suppliers send goods to a manufacturer, a GRN (Goods Received Note) is generated, recording all items received from a supplier
- The GRN is compared against the original PO placed on the supplier; SAP then determines the MEGO (goods in) and MIRO (value in); at the end of the exercise, the Supplier account is debited and the Bank Account is credited (within SAP)
Issues with SAP "generic GRN" Process:
- Interdependencies between screens: and end-user has to enter values into successive screens over and over again, which takes time and is error-prone
  
  For instance, a user has to manually pick up TAX data from one screen and re-enter it into a succeeding screen; tax data from one invoice has to be manually entered as a bill booking into the next unit (SAP does not have this functionality built-in, since the tax rules are local to each country)
The Solution - Fiorano flows automate GRN:
- Custom Fiorano flows ensure that data does not have to be manually re-entered into successive screens
- Processes easily and rapidly customized to match business requirements, without programming
- E.g. Tax data is picked up from one invoice and entered as a bill booking item into relevant downstream units
Benefits:
- Elimination of manual intervention ensures faster process execution and reduced error-rates
- Rapid customization; processes easily changed to match evolving business requirements)
