Case Study: Kärkkäinen Saves Time with Automate Studio in SAP Material Management
Key Takeaways
Hannu-Pekka Niskanen, at Kärkkäinen Oy, revolutionized material creation and management in SAP by implementing Automate Studio, drastically reducing time and errors.
Automate Studio enabled Kärkkäinen Oy to automate various SAP transactions, such as material creation and updating, product pricing, and purchase order creation, leading to significant time savings and operational efficiency improvements.
Niskanen's experience demonstrates the extensive benefits of Automate Studio, from reducing material creation time from minutes to seconds to handling various one-off tasks efficiently, exceeding initial expectations and providing ongoing support and satisfaction.
Hannu-Pekka Niskanen arrived at Kärkkäinen Oy in 2006, around the same time that SAP was being implemented in the company. A year later, Niskanen started working as an assistant in the company’s
purchasing department. At the time, the main problem for the purchasing department was material creation. Material management is a focus.
On average, the department handles about 10,000 new articles per month that need to be created in SAP. Overall, there are approximately 1O 000 active products in the company’s product selection. Managing this amount of material data on a daily basis using only SAP GUI, and transactions such as MM41, MM42, and
LSMW was extremely error-prone, time-consuming, and far from user-friendly. Material management is key.
