SOPs are an integral part of any organization. They help ensure that your employees follow the same procedures for each task, and they reduce confusion among staff members. One way to make sure that everyone is on the right track with their SOPs is by using SAP software to manage them. SAP helps you create, edit, maintain, and monitor your SOP library all in one place! Read why SAP GRC auditing is crucial for your business here.
How can SAP be used for SOP and Case Management?
SAP software can be used to create your SOP library. You start by creating a single piece of information about the procedure using SAP’s intuitive user interface. For example, if you are writing an SOP on how to use the Xerox machine in your office break room, click on “equipment” and then select “Xerox.” Please fill out all necessary fields with relevant information related to that task (for this example, it would be helpful to include things like where the paper tray is located). Now when new employees come into work, they won’t have any questions or confusion regarding what steps need to take for them to operate the xerox machine successfully!
Another way that SAP software helps streamline processes around managing SOPs is by making it easy to track changes. If someone makes an edit, you can see exactly who made the change and when! You will always be able to access any updated or new procedures within your library.
What are the Benefits of Using SAP?
Using SAP software saves you time! It’s easy to create, edit, maintain and monitor your SOP library all in one place. You won’t have to spend hours trying to track down each procedure that needs updating or adding- it will be right there waiting for you whenever you need it! Using a system like this also ensures everyone is on the same page with how certain tasks should take shape (which can save lots of confusion too). For example, Your employees don’t want/need an explanation about where they should find their copy machine instructions every single day. Rather they just need those steps laid out somewhere so that when they’re working independently, they’ll know what needs to be done next. This creates more well-rounded employees, too, because they’ll be able to handle tasks independently and on their own.

Types of Licenses
The different types of licenses that you may need to purchase depend on how many users will be accessing the system at one time and what type of work they will be doing with it.
If you only need to do data entry, a license for up to five people would be best. However, if any of those employees will also print from their computers or export data into SAP systems, it’s good to purchase an additional license for each user. An example would be receiving work orders and then printing them off before passing the paper copy on to another employee.
If you have more than five people using the system, it’s best to contact ITTL, and we can help determine exactly how many licenses you’ll need.
