The System What is SRM? Continuous purchase management (procure-to-pay): Connect e. g. catalog-based orders and free-text orders with your existing purchase processes and integrate these in your ERP backend. Catalog management: Let your supplier do the time-consuming and costly updating of the master data and connect his catalog with your system. Alternatively you can manage the catalog data in a catalog management tool. Strategic purchasing: You create a full view into the strategic purchasing of your company - even covering different ERP systems. Payment and tender processes can be governed centrally. You can make a more detailed planning, you have reliable data available and this way strengthen your initial and negotiation position in choosing your suppliers. Central contractual management: You merge contractual information from different company departments, broker better conditions and share synergies companywide. Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) contains the strategic planning and central supervision of relationships of a company with its suppliers. SRM helps you to create a close bond of all suppliers with your company and supports your purchasing during the whole planning and execution processes, regardless if purchasing materials or services. With SAP SRM you boost your central purchasing processes: Supplier management: Via the supplier portal you can cooperate with your suppliers fast and efficiently. Different interaction possibilities for the transfer of documents and information are at your disposal. Supplier choice: In profiling your suppliers you can gather information about the quality of your cooperation with the supplier and evaluate your relationship.

Why SRM for your company? Optimize and accelerate your purchasing process! Let your orders be done directly where your requirements are. From now on the employees of e. g. maintenance order spare parts or other things they require directly via a simple web surface. They have online catalogs at hand ordering therefore is as simple as the online booking of a vacation trip at home. Implement your purchase policy in SRM one-on-one with the means of highly flexible process oriented workflows, and do not make any system related compromise in your approval workflows. With the workflow you define which purchasing document has to be approved by a certain superior. Beyond that you have already determined who is allowed to order special items via inheritable user attributes. This way, the majority of the actual orders are triggered automatically and do not have to be edited by your purchasing department any longer. The employees of purchase are partly freed from operational tasks. Moreover, to stick with the example, your spare parts are faster where they actually are needed and your maintenance times are reduced. More time remains for the purchasing department to fulfill its strategic tasks. Using requests, tenders and / or auctions the right supplier and the best price can be determined. Negotiation with suppliers gains center stage, contracts and frame agreements can specifically be constructed and the assortment that can be ordered via the catalogs can be defined and specified. Additionally, the overview of all single orders is simplified. Every order can be found directly within the system and does not have to be passed on any longer by the single employee. In one view you can therefore see who ordered what article and when.
