SAP Innovation Awards 2024 - 4315 - adidas AG

adidas needed a simpler and faster way to automate the Purchase Order (P.O.) amendment processes for 3000+ external factory users.​ The challenge was to automate legacy, manual, repetitive, and high-volume tasks, which have been ​at 500K requests per year, and are expected to double.​ Delays in updating or communicating changes can lead to inventory shortages, missed delivery dates, miscommunication, and increased costs.​ adidas deployed a solution approach with a single SAP Fiori entry point extending SAP S/4HANA Cloud, private edition, for external factory users who can land on the SAP Build Work Zone and then access an SAP Build Process Automation tile to address a variety of P.O. amendment workflows. ​adidas is seeing improved efficiency, visibility, compliance with SLAs, and data accuracy.
