SAP challenges faced by Advanced Energy

Challenges

Transactions were extensive and difficult to use - Users struggled with complex, multi-step SAP transactions.

High time required for user input - Purchase requisition input took up to 45 minutes.

Limited number of users could complete transactions quickly - Only a few individuals were able to complete transactions efficiently, causing delays.

Limited SAP/ABAP resources - Options included core modification or extensive training with limited available resources.

By using Liquid UI and Input Assistant, we were able to combine screens and transactions, cutting the purchase requisition creation time in half from 8 minutes to 4 minutes.
