In 2014, AS Watson Group implemented Oracle E-Business Suite to support core financial and procurement operations. The project delivered ERP Financial capabilities and targeted procurement and expense workflows to support procurement and finance functions across the organization.
Work centered on the Oracle E-Business Suite iProcurement, Purchasing, and iExpense modules. Engineers and analysts troubleshot the Oracle workflow engine to identify processing failures affecting purchase requisitions, purchase orders, and internet expense approvals, and they created targeted SQL data fixes to resolve data related issues.
The engagement included configuration tuning of approval routing and workflow notification rules, combined with database-level remediation using SQL scripts to correct transactional and master data anomalies. Governance activities focused on workflow debugging, controlled data fixes applied to application schemas, and adjustments to workflow definitions to reduce recurrence of the identified issues.
