Business Workflow

Status and approval management

The approval process for incoming invoices is time-consuming and is often one of the most expensive workflows within a business.

This is partly because invoices are received in range of ways (e.g. mail, fax, electronically) but also because any clarifications and the approval process requires time, precision and continuity from a range of people.

This is where the status and approval management of SAM comes in. A workflow supported (here SAP Business Workflow or web workflow) process enables the automatic integration of employees concerned with approval and sign-off and recording of relevant comments.

With the integrated status management, every involved and authorized user will always have access to the necessary processes.
