Client Profile
Why Approval Express?
Timely approval is critical in all industries, but more so in the food manufacturing industry.
Ajinomoto Foods required a purchase order approval solution for JD Edwards using Approval Express that would prevent delays in manufacturing. Furthermore, approvers required relevant information that would help inform their decisions to approve, review, or reject documents.
To solve this problem, Ajinomoto Foods turned to Version 1’s Approval Express.
Customers Challenge
Improving Approval Efficiency
The customer needed to ensure that all approvers log onto EnterpriseOne on a regular basis in order to approve, reject or review purchase orders pending approval. They noticed that not all approvers were logging on, and that key approvers sometimes did not have access. This caused purchase order delays.
Solutions Delivered by Version 1
Version 1 implements Approval Express
Version 1 implemented Approval Express to process standard JD Edwards Purchase Order approval workflow messages within Enterprise One.
The implemented solution sits alongside Ajinomoto’s standard JD Edwards system with no modifications to the standard code.
This allows users to be presented with all relevant information regarding the approval, allowing them to make an informed decision without having to log in to the Enterprise One system. This is more efficient and saves time.
