Using the SAP purchasing module, explain how a workflow can be integrated into a system
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: A workflow can be integrated into a system by so that electronic purchase orders are automatically forwarded to appropriate parties for their approval. When the next person in the workflow approval process logs onto his or her computer, the pending purchase order awaiting his or her approval will appear in a queue. The person approves or disapproves the purchase order and then it is electronically forwarded to the next person in the approval process.
The integrated system increases efficiency by automatically forwarding the purchase order to the next person. After the final approval is received, the purchase order may be electronically forwarded to the appropriate vendor, again speeding up the process.
