(Individual) Smartphone Articles
This guide outlines the steps an employee takes to order smartphones and how these orders are managed and executed in the company's system.
Overview
Walkthrough
- Starting the Order: The employee starts by selecting the needed smartphone from those available for delivery.
- Order and Booking Approval: After creating the order, it enters an approval phase, overseen by a workflow named "Approval - RootITUp Smartphone Order Analysis". The smartphones in the order (referred to as bookings) must receive approval before proceeding further.
- Processing Steps:
- The system first decides which type of order is needed: a smartphone with a contract or just the smartphone. To get a contract, the user must be located in Germany and not already have a mobile phone number.
- A ticket with all the necessary details is created in a "PreApproval" category and then immediately closed. This category can be customized.
- The order is recorded in the order management system, and it's considered registered when an "OrderRegistered" event occurs.
- Each item is then added to a purchasing basket in the system, completed upon a "BasketItemRegistered" event.
- Each item is confirmed in the system using its ticket number. 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.
- The IT Procurement team reviews and approves the purchase requisition.
- The purchase request is automatically turned into a purchase order by a purchasing job in SAP S4Hana.
- The initial ticket, initially in the PreApproval category, is moved to the "Purchase" category.
- Completion and Receipt:
- The processing of the booking items (smartphones) is considered complete.
- Finally, accepting the processed bookings in the system triggers a confirmation of goods received in S4Hana.
