Al Khafji Joint Operations had implemented SAP Supplier Relationship Management B2B project using which the business process of procure-to-pay for services will be automated, simplified, and accelerated. This project has led to reduction of procurement cost by closing the loop from source to pay.

The following are the highlights of the system
1. Supplier Registration Portal allowing the suppliers worldwide to register with the company provided they satisfy certain basic criteria.
2. The registered suppliers receive the information about any tenders in the category they are qualified for.
3. Once a Supplier / Contractor wins a tender, the services being offered through it are available in form of a catalog for the concerned KJO Business users.
4. The Users use the Shopping Cart functionality and procure the services as needed. The contractor receives this in form of a service order.
5. The contractor delivers the services and creates a confirmation in the system and attached evidence of service delivery. The KJO users verify the confirmation and approve / reject it as applicable.
6. Based on the approved confirmation, invoice is created by the Supplier which is sent to KJO for approval and once it is approved the payment is released.
