SAP PO authorisation training

To improve controls on expenditure, took part in short on-line SAP course with director about purchase order and invoicing approval.  This system was set up making good use of email notifications and should now allow the director to have a clearer audit trail of PO approval within SAP.

Prophix Forecasting update

Had update training on Prophix P10 forecasting software, following replacement of P3 Personnel module with DPM (detailed planning manager).  Looks good having all the data in one module so that personnel changes feed through to the P&L more quickly.  Also allows improved reporting from the Ad Hoc Report Generator which feeds to Excel - so this should allow easier people cost variance analysis against future actuals.
