GovERP Procure-to-Pay (P2P) Solution

The GovERP P2P value stream solution is hosted on S/4 HANA on Services Australia’s Private Azure cloud, however, can be copied and hosted on any equivalent cloud solution. Integrations have been built into GovERP FMIS and SAP SuccessFactors for the HCM design. However, integrations have not yet been built for other tools (e.g. integrations not built for Expense8, which was also part of the GovERP solution stack).  

Following is the high-level overview of the intended GovERP Procurement solution as it relates to the P2P value stream.

Whole of Government Customisation and Configuration 

Customisation and configuration refer to specific enhancements made to the base products to understand the deviations from the standard ‘out-of-the-box’ configuration grouped into Workflows, Report, Interfaces, Conversions, Enhancements and Forms known as WRICEFs. Each WRICEF has been classified into the below scale of effort to maintain: 

  • Low – Configuration changes only. 
  • Medium – Development support required to adjust code (e.g. Business Add-in) and support enhancements. 
  • High – Full development support required (e.g. solutions implemented via SAP note where code has been written 

The following provides a summary of these WRICEFs in P2P for a whole-of-government solution: 

Capability  Workflow  Report  Interfaces+ Integration  Conversion  Enhancement  Form  Total 
Accounts Payable          12    12 
Contract Management          
Contractor Management          
Purchasing        10 
Sourcing            
Total  29  37 

These WRICEF documents are available in a repository held by the Digital Transformation Agency. An entity can request access to the repository by emailing architecture@dta.gov.au
