FINANCIAL WORKFLOWS The integration of these components supports the development of paperless workflows in an organization. Procurement and accounts payable were some of the first targets for this kind of process improvement. Staff can now use online shopping carts to generate purchase orders from established vendors, routing their requests to supervisors and then to the vendors them- selves. The software builds in online, interactive forms so staff can make corrections along the way, using customized workflow tables that determine the routes. Let's buy some Bluetooth headsets for sales reps at Gulf Travel to see how this works (Figure 5-3): Shaun, the office manager in the sales department, browses the web for the best models and then logs in to the financial system. He requests price comparisons for the model he's chosen and finds the lowest prices from TechSmart, Inc., which has a special supplier arrangement with Shaun's company. Shaun enters the order for 10 headsets into the shopping cart, selecting TechSmart as the vendor. Totals and taxes are all computed, and Shaun splits the purchase against two budget numbers-40% for the Northern sales group with four sales reps and 60% for the Southern sales group for its six reps. Rania, Shaun's supervisor, logs in and sees a message in her inbox-"Shopping cart approval needed." She is authorized to approve purchases for both budgets, and when she does, the electronic order goes straight to the sales department FIGURE 5-3 A paperless workflow in procurement to buy 10 Bluetooth headsets.
