Hi

The Service Procurement process helps companies to manage resources and monitor costs across the whole range of services.

When they enter a service request, purchasers can choose between making a free text entry or referring to product master data. The requester can define a start and end date, job rate, performance location, and limit items.

Once the requested service has been entered by the purchasing organization, a source of supply can be applied. Once all the relevant data has been entered, the shopping cart is created and can trigger an approval workflow. When the manager responsible has approved the shopping cart, the purchase order is created and sent to the service provider via mail, fax, e-mail or XML-file. After suppliers receive a sales order, they can send an order response.

When the services are performed, the supplier can enter the services in a time entry form, for example. This time entry form allows detailed recording of expenses and overtime. In addition to time recording, the service provider can also add items from catalogs or contracts to limit items.

After receiving the service confirmation from the supplier, the requester can verify the services and accept them .

After the services have been accepted, the service provider can create and send the invoice. The requesting organization has to verify the invoice and authorize the payment.
