Overview

Promenta Solution Overview

Promenta’s SAP Journal Entry Workflow is integrated within the GLSU Excel sheet, bringing web-based, workflow automation, compliance and control to the period close. “GLSU Workflow” is an alternative option to an in-house built GLSU Park and Post Workflow. It deploys and runs inside SAP ECC or S/4 HANA and integrates with your existing SAP finance rules, transactional validation and security model. Promenta works with a fully validated virtual journal document, including external attachments, which is then cleanly created in the relevant SAP ledger when all journal approvals are in place. A high level of data integrity is ensured, through a full simulated posting at the request stage of the process. Flexible approval routing is possible at multiple approval levels. All SAP journal fields are supported. Book a demo to find out more about Promenta’s GLSU integraton for SAP Journal Workflow!

SAP Journal Workflow – Audited & Reportable Approvals For GLSU

Promenta Workflow Audit and Reporting

Summary

The Promenta SAP Journal Workflow solution comes with built in workflow software, which is highly configurable to accommodate your own rules. Workflows route automatically to designated approvers according to meaningful fields in the request such as company code, journal value or G/L Account (and more). Approvers are notified by email and can also access their own personal inbox to approve journal requests. Where applicable, approvers can set up substitute approvers when they are out of office and forward requests to authorized colleagues.

 

SAP Workflow Approval Routing Rules

The workflow routing rules – sometimes called the approval matrix – defines who your approvers are according to your process. Promenta allows you to define anything from very simple one-step approvals to multi-team, multi-step, multi-level approvals, based on all kinds of data. We will collaborate with your project team to ensure a smooth translation of your exact workflow routing needs and Approval Groups, into our Promenta SAP Journal Workflow configuration tool. When this has been defined Promenta has a powerful SAP based transaction, which gives full audited control to your own in-house teams, to assign users in and out of your designated Approval Groups.

 

SAP Journal Entry Workflow – Reporting

Promenta provides a comprehensive journal process reporting capability delivering full transparency on all manual journal activity as the Financial Period is closing. Your process controllers and financial support teams will know exactly which journals have been fully approved, posted and completed and what is still pending approval and posting before the books can be closed. In addition to journal process reporting Promenta provides a real-time reportable audit trail of all users who have approved or rejected a specific journal request, providing all the information that your auditors require to prove you are running a well-planned and controlled process. All of this real-time reporting is available securely from within your SAP system itself.

SAP Journal Workflow Compliance For GLSU

Promenta Process Compliance

SAP Journal Workflow Compliance

SAP Journal Entry Workflow compliance is often a key driver for our customers in implementing Promenta, which enables a consistent, rule based, controlled process for manual SAP journals during period close. Promenta enables compliance in these key areas:

  • End to end, fully audited, journal request an approval process, with full audit trail preserved inside Promenta, within SAP. All users involved in requesting and approving the journal are audited and are fully reportable from within SAP using Promenta reporting tools
  • Enforcement of segregation of duties (SOD), whereby a requester cannot approve their own request, unless of course the rules allow it, where a journal is correctly below an agreed approval threshold
  • Only authorized SAP users who are allowed to make requests can do so for specific parts of the business
  • Opportunity to remove all powerful SAP Finance transaction codes from end users in your SAP system, supporting Sarbanes Oxley (SOX) compliance initiatives
