Client: Fortune 500 company with offices in 50 states.

Goal: Implement eProcurement application that will allow field agents to submit requisitions for goods and services, Generate Purchase Orders from approved requisitions and permit vendors to key in their invoices for said goods and services.

Role of Rising Sun Group, Inc (RSG): Implemented Workflow solutions that routes requisitions for management approval. Without this approval purchase orders cannot be created from these requisitions. The approval process consisted of 1 to 4 levels of approval depending on a host of conditions. At each approval point there was the need to conditionally route the request to different destinations depending on user input. RSG delivered this work ahead of schedule and under budget, which led to the additional work listed below.

RSG also implemented Commitment Control. This budget management tool checks each request (requisition) against the appropriate budget line item in the ledger. This process credits and debits the corresponding ledgers (pre-encumbrance, encumbrance & actuals) as requisitions proceed to being purchase orders and vouchers. Any transactions that exceed budget are routed for exception approval via Workflow.

RSG participated in the setting up eSettlements, which establishes a marketplace for 3rd party vendors. In this marketplace, vendors can submit invoices and check on their payment status. Via its companion piece, eSupplier, it aids the client in communicating with its vendors.
Due to these successes, RSG has also taken on and completed a number of other smaller projects for this client.
