approve

lag time between steps
CSC Optimization:
Enhancement to standard workflow rules in Ariba solution
One-Step at Business Approver then Hop to Final Approver

Ex: Client needs 100 servers
Standard Approach:
Request asset numbers from the asset accounting software in
the SAP ERP application
Enter 100 asset shells on requisition
Pain points: error prone and inefficient
CSC Optimization:

management software in SAP ERP, enhanced to auto-
generate asset shell based on PO

Ariba solution

and depreciation
