Attachment 2 - Data Flow.pptx

This is a data flow diagram attachment for South Carolina's eProcurement Solution procurement. The document illustrates the current system architecture and data integration framework for the state's sourcing and procurement operations, involving multiple enterprise systems and stakeholder groups including vendors, business partners, plants, and internal organizational units across procurement and human resources functions.

The diagram depicts a complex SAP-based environment comprising SAP SRM 7.2 EhP 8 (Supplier Relationship Management) as the primary sourcing platform, SAP ECC 6.0 EhP 8 (Enterprise Central Component) managing materials and financial data, and BI/BO 7.31 EhP8 for reporting and analytics. Data flows between procurement vendors and business partners through purchase orders, goods receipts, invoicing, and contract management functions, with master data including product categories, locations, purchase groups, and organizational hierarchies maintained across systems. The architecture supports RFx (Request for Proposal/Quotation) processes, contract attachments, and document linkages within SRM, with no separate portal-specific document storage designated. The system integrates employee and organizational data from SuccessFactors and HR systems, with transaction data flowing through general ledger, cost center, and budget modules, though certain HR employee and non-used functions are noted as not currently operational within the procurement workflow.
