(Individual) Office Article Order
This guide explains the step-by-step process an employee follows when ordering items that are in stock and how this order is processed within the company's system.
Overview
Walkthrough
- Starting the Order: An employee initiates the order by selecting items available for delivery. In this example the employee is also responsible for an office making a notification appear, indicating that an individual order is being made.
- Order and Booking Approval: Once the order is created, it goes through an approval process. This is managed by a specific workflow named "Approval - RootITUp Order Analysis". When the items (bookings) in the order are approved, the next phase of processing them begins.
- Processing Steps:
- The order is recorded in the order management system and is considered registered when an "OrderRegistered" event occurs.
- Each item in the order is added to a stock transfer basket, in the order management system. This step is complete when a "BasketItemRegistered" event happens.
- A ticket containing all necessary details is created under a "PreApproval" category, which can be customized in the Matrix42 system.
- Each item (booking) in the order is confirmed using its ticket number as reference for the order management service. This step is complete when a "BasketItemConfirmed" event is noted.
- Finalizing the Order:
- After all items in the basket are confirmed, a purchase request is made in the S4Hana system.
- This purchase request is then automatically turned into an order by a purchasing process in SAP S4Hana.
- The initial ticket, which was in the PreApproval category, is now moved to the "Office Article" category. This happens when a "BasketItemOrdered" event is recorded.
- Closing the Order:
- The system waits for the ticket related to the delivery of goods to be closed.
- Closing this ticket is an important step as it leads to the creation of a goods issue in S4Hana, which means the items are on their way for delivery. This stage is reached when a "BasketItemInDelivery" event is recorded.
- Completion and Receipt:
- Once the goods are in delivery (ticket closed), the booking process is considered complete.
- Finally, accepting the delivered items (by accepting the order) triggers a confirmation in the system, marking the goods as received in S4Hana.
