Collaboration, Part I: InfoSite Room

This clip reviews functionality provided by the InfoSite Room template in SAP Enterprise Portal, which can be used in an organization as a means to make announcements, share documents and files, maintain contact details, publish FAQs, share related links, and more. Here, the flow revolves around three ORGA users that demonstrate this functionality.

Storyboard, Part 1: Sales Order Creation and Publishing Demand Forecast

In this clip, an ORGA user creates sales orders based on customer quotations and publishes the demand forecast. The entire flow is handled by a single user (orgAuser1) from SAP Enterprise Portal. Note that the corresponding changes in SAP R/3 are shown in each step.

Storyboard Part 2: View and Update of Demand Forecast

After the ORGA user creates sales orders and publishes the demand forecast, its supplier, ORGC, comes into the picture. In this clip, an ORGC user logs onto the system using SAP Enterprise Portal and views the demand forecast.

In the next step, he agrees to fulfill part of the demand from ORGA. A percentage of this demand is outsourced by ORGC to its subcontractor, ORGD. In the last section of this clip, a user from ORGD logs onto the system and views the outsourced quantity from ORGC.

Storyboard Part 3: Purchase Order and Advanced Shipment Notice

After ORGC has taken up part of the demand forecast, an ORGA user reviews the published demand forecast to check if the internal supplier (i.e. ORGC) has accepted to deliver the entire order. Upon discovering a shortage between the demand quantity and the quantity that ORGC can supply, the user creates a purchase order seeking to fulfill the shortage using an external vendor (ORGE). Note that the corresponding changes in SAP R/3 are shown in each step.

Storyboard Part 4: Goods Receipt, Delivery Document, and Invoice Creation

After the ORGA user views the ASN created by ORGE, he creates a goods receipt for it and sets up delivery for the customer (ORGB). He then creates the corresponding invoice.
