# SG Autover: User deep dive (Finland)

Kick-Off notes:

Business context

- Cross-docking flow to be kept in mind (direct shipment from Bastogne to customers): Finland not affected but happening in Spain, France or Germany

- Integration with SAP

Leadtime to Finland is longer than 10 days, 95% of products are coming from Bastogne

SAP integration:

- Data extract from Production agreed

- Writing back to SAP would mean we do a pilot in production → to be assessed based on success criteria

- Proposal:
  - Phase 1: Offline comparison
  - Phase 2:
    - MRP still running, PurReqs to be flushed
    - Purchase requisitions to be written in SAP
    - User able to validate and release

- Timeline:
  - Target to have output by March because there is the regular forecast exercise
  - No SAP developments possible in January
    - End of Dec: Hard to stop for any modification
    - Christmas:
    - Write back: Preparation & requirements to be discussed in Jan; Development in Feb
    - Season to start in April: Building up stock for the season

  - Update frequency:
    - Daily update is enough
    - Each Tuesday, the MRP is running because orders have to be placed → Doing this on Monday is not good
    - The PurReqs conversion to PO is triggered by planner

  Action:

  - Create time schedule for synchroziation with SAP
  - Schedule meeting for success criteria: Jari, Jean-Marc, Lukas
