Sample solution: Customer has many cost centers

Starting position

Miller Ltd. has a large customer, the ABC Ltd.. The local purchasing manager Mr. Meyer is responsible for 8 departments. There are some few employees who do shopping in the shop of Miller Ltd.. Previously the Miller Ltd. was called to change cost centers or added these to the orders manually. This is very complicated and error-prone and should be improved. In addition, ABC wants to be able to better supervise the budgets of the employees.

Solution

The Miller Ltd. sets up a shop access for Mr. Meyer, who has the rights to the user system and administration. Mr. Meyer can now create user accounts for all purchasing employees, assign one or more cost centers to them and set budgets for different periods of time. If a budget is exceeded, the current and subsequent orders will be sent to Mr. Meyer for approval/release. The cost center information is kept same in the entire order processing. This facilitates processes on both sides.
