Faster, Smarter Procurement in SAP

Manual purchase order creation and invoice verification slow your procurement cycle and lead to costly errors. Multi-screen SAP transactions like ME21N and MIRO mean endless navigation, hand-keyed data entry, and approval bottlenecks that delay orders and payments. Liquid UI transforms SAP procurement into streamlined, guided workflows that are deployable in one day with results in one week.

  • Accelerate PO creation and approvals
  • Automate invoice matching and posting
  • Reduce procurement cycle time

 

SAP Material Management - Faster, Smarter Procurement in SAP

Trusted by industry leaders

The Gap

Multi-screen navigation across procurement

Multi-screen navigation across procurement

Every SAP MM workflow - purchase orders, invoice verification, master data maintenance - requires toggling between multiple screens, cross-referencing different transactions, and deciphering hundreds of fields.

Manual data entry and duplicated work

Manual data entry and duplicated work

Vendor details, material numbers, quantities, prices, and GL accounts are hand-keyed across transactions. Typos ripple through the entire procurement cycle - wrong materials ordered, invoice mismatches, payment delays, and month-end reconciliation chaos.

Approval bottlenecks and exception handling

Approval bottlenecks and exception handling

PO approvals get stuck in email chains. Material master changes and vendor record updates queue up waiting for approvals, slowing down procurement teams who need access to new materials or suppliers.

The Liquid UI Difference

Screen consolidation

Screen consolidation

Collapse multi-tab SAP transactions into single guided screens. Create POs, verify invoices, and extend materials without navigating away or switching between ME21N, MIRO, and MM02

Automation that eliminates re-work

Automation that eliminates re-work

Auto-populate vendor and material data from master records. Scan barcodes to select materials instead of typing. Bulk-upload PO line items from Excel with built-in validation that catches errors before submission. Automated 3-way matching flags invoice discrepancies instantly.

Mobile access for approvals and execution

Mobile access for approvals and execution

Approvers release POs from their phone. Buyers check material availability on a tablet in the warehouse. Mobile workflows keep procurement moving without waiting for desk access.

How Hillyard Accelerated SAP MM with Simplified Screens

Hillyard consolidated multi-screen SAP MM transactions into single-screen workflows, dramatically reducing the time to complete material master creation, customer setup, and pricing updates.

  • 87% faster material master creation – MM01 reduced from 4+ minutes (navigating 13 tabs) to 30 seconds on one screen
  • 83% faster customer master setup – XD01 reduced from 3 minutes to 30 seconds with all required fields on a single screen
  • Real-time pricing and stock visibility – ME12 simplified so customer service reps update pricing, check stock levels, and generate quotes without switching transactions
