Thanks to SAP Workflow and a customized cost reconciliation process, the customer no longer needs to reconcile each iteration in a separate program. All documents are available in one system, which greatly simplifies the company's approval process.

Project manager, Kanstantsin Yerakhavets: “The key advantage of SAP Workflow for the customer is the automation and budget expenditure coordination. Now, its employees have a streamlined workflow that includes a group of people, a clear sequence of tasks, and coordination between several objects. Instead of several disparate programs, the company has a single environment for the entire approval process, which saves a lot of time.”
