Business Flows

This part lists and briefly explains a set of business flows.

There are several key business areas such as planning, procurement, inventory, sales etc., which can be present in an organization or not depending on the nature of its business. Those key business areas are related between each others, which leads us to the definition of the business flows.

To put us in context, each business flow is listed and briefly explained below:

• Procure to Pay manages the life-cycle of a procure process from the moment the company requests or orders goods, all way through warehouse staff receives the goods and until the supplier invoice is paid.
• Supplier Returns manages the return of goods to supliers for debit or for replacement.
• Order to Cash manages the life-cycle of a sales process, from the moment a customer requests a quotation or orders goods, all way through warehouse staff ships the goods and until the customer pays the invoice.
• Customer Returns manages the return of goods from customers for credit or for replacement.
• Inventory Accuracy implies inventory tracking and goods movements between storage bins or warehouses as well as the valuation of inventory and stock counting.
• MRP Management manages the material and production requirements of a company, by tracking several inputs such as sales forecast and current stocks levels.
• Production Management is in charge of the managing the making of products that either consist of a few components (bill of materials), or are a result of a more complex production process.
• Projects and Services Management addresses Company's Projects of any type.
• Payables and Receivables Management addresses customer collections and supplier payments.
• Bank Statement to Bank Reconciliation addresses the business process for entering and reconciling bank statements with account payable or receivable transactions and cash balances in the general ledger.
