In 2018, 3M Australia implemented Corcentric Cor360 Approval Workflow as its AP Automation solution. The deployment is delivered as a web-accessible approval workflow via the Corcentric Cor360 supplier portal link hosted on their website, and the Corcentric Cor360 Approval Workflow instance is used to capture supplier-submitted forms and route approval tasks for accounts payable.
Configuration focused on core AP Automation capabilities including invoice form capture, validation rules, multi-level approval routing, exception handling and an audit trail for approvals. The Corcentric Cor360 Approval Workflow configuration enforced user role segregation between accounts payable and procurement, and implemented electronic approval chains and validation checkpoints consistent with enterprise invoice processing workflows.
Operational scope concentrated on the finance organization, specifically accounts payable and procurement teams in Australia, with supplier self-service enabled through the Corcentric supplier portal. Governance centered on role-based access controls and formalized approval workflows to support auditability and standardized AP processing, with rollout coordinated through the supplier portal and internal AP process updates.

| Workday | Legacy | Workday HCM | Core HR | HCM | n/a | 2014 | 2015 |
3M Australia (2014) selected and deployed Workday HCM as its new Core HR application to replace a legacy HR system. A global deployment program launched in 2014 and led by a dedicated Workday deployment leader completed the initial scope in 14 months and carried through a stabilization phase and transition to an on‑going support model by 2016.
The implementation delivered Workday HCM modules for employee and non‑employee workforce administration, compensation, performance and development, plus U.S. payroll. The program integrated more than 150 external systems, partnered with Workday and third‑party implementation resources, and coordinated testing, change management, training, cutover and compliance activities. Rollout covered over 85 countries and more than 100,000 workers, indicating an enterprise‑scale, multi‑region HR standardization and operational support initiative.

| SAP | Legacy | SAP BusinessObjects | Analytics and BI | Analytics and BI | n/a | 2017 | 2017 |
In 2017, 3M Australia implemented SAP BusinessObjects as a centralized Analytics and BI platform to support ANZ service and supply coordination, Bunnings sales support, and CBG complaint resolution for its largest key accounts. The deployment focused on reporting-driven operational control, with SAP BusinessObjects delivering scheduled analytical outputs to inventory, sales and marketing functions across the organization.
SAP BusinessObjects was configured to run allocation and exception reports that inform manual allocation of stock to incoming orders, with the main allocation report executed twice daily at 10am and 2pm. Functional capabilities implemented included stock allocation reporting, out of stock and cancelled lines reporting, item rationalization analysis, and order issue tracking for pricing, minimum order quantity and non-list stock scenarios. The SAP BusinessObjects implementation was used specifically to identify potential out of stocks and lead time extensions and to surface items for rationalization and non-working inventory review against the KPI of less than 4% of sales.
The implementation integrated operationally with Power BI reporting for inventory on hand tracking, with downstream workflows consuming SAP BusinessObjects and PBI outputs. Operational touchpoints included the Bunnings Portal for inventory stock on hand exports and the Lincoln Brokerage Portal for promotion tasks and shelf photo verification, with Excel exports emailed to field sales managers. Collaboration workflows engaged Channel Sales, Marketing and the Analyst team to act on SAP BusinessObjects insights and to minimize inventory impact from point of sale demand increases.
Governance and process changes centered on a cadence of scheduled reporting and exception management meetings, supply issues management sessions, and documented manual workarounds to protect priority customer inventory availability. Weekly out of stock and cancelled lines reporting was established as an operational control, and promotion execution followed a task and verification workflow tied to third party broker activity and portal submissions. SAP BusinessObjects served as the authoritative reporting layer driving these governance cadences.
SAP BusinessObjects provided the primary Analytics and BI capability for order allocation, exception detection and inventory rationalization, used to minimize cancelled orders and reduce back orders while identifying non-working inventory for marketing review. The implementation emphasized reporting discipline and cross-functional operational workflows rather than automated replenishment, with outputs consumed by supply chain, sales support, marketing and customer service teams.
