Statement of Work (SOW) – P2P Controls Assessment

1. Background & Objective
Syensqo is seeking support from a SAP P2P Expert / Senior Consultant to perform a targeted assessment of the Procure-to-Pay (P2P) process (Indirect scope) across its SAP ECC6 and SRM7 landscape.

This assignment is not intended to be a full end-to-end P2P assessment. The objective is to strengthen process and compliance controls in the current environment and, as far as possible, align with the SyWay target design (future S/4HANA).

The consultant is expected to deliver pragmatic and actionable recommendations, balancing business needs, control requirements, and system constraints.

2. Scope of Work
2.1 PO Creation, Approval & Change Controls
- Review approval mechanisms (PR vs PO level)
- Assess feasibility of implementing approval workflows at PO level or for critical PO changes (e.g., reopening, PO without PR)
- Assess controls for manual PR/PO creation and non-catalog purchasing
 - Review the process of user authorizations for PO creation and modification in collaboration,  in collaboration with IT Syensqo team

2.2 Invoice Processing & Matching Controls
- Review 2-way (PO–Invoice) and 3-way (PO–Goods Receipt–Invoice) matching processes
- Identify gaps in tolerance settings and exception handling
- Assess controls for invoices exceeding PO limits or posted against fully consumed POs
- Evaluate Delegation of Authority (DoA)-based approval workflows
- Define a standardized invoice validation framework across PO types (Standard, Service, Blanket)

2.3 P2P Control Framework
- Define a target P2P control framework including key control points
- Define approval principles and segregation of duties (SoD)
- Ensure alignment with SyWay and ECC/SRM system capabilities

2.4 Recommendations & Roadmap
- Provide a prioritized list of recommendations (quick wins and structural improvements)
- Assess business impact and implementation effort (including indicative budget)
- Deliver a pragmatic implementation roadmap

3. Deliverables
- Current state assessment (controls-focused)
- Gap analysis vs best practices and SyWay principles
- Target P2P control framework
- Prioritized recommendations
- High-level implementation roadmap
- High-level effort estimation (business and IT)

4. Methodology & Approach
The consultant is expected to adopt a structured approach including:
- Stakeholder interviews (GBS P2P, IT, SyWay team)
- Review of system configuration and documentation
- Identification of control gaps and risks
- Definition of pragmatic and implementable solutions

All outputs must be actionable, prioritized, and aligned with business value and control objectives.

5. Timeline
This assignment is expected to be completed within 4 weeks:

Week 1: Kick-off, data collection, stakeholder interviews
Week 2: PR/PO process and controls analysis
Week 3: Invoice processing and matching controls analysis
Week 4: Recommendations, roadmap, and final presentation

An optional extension phase may be triggered to further detail selected recommendations, validate feasibility with IT, and refine implementation cost estimates.

6. Continuity & Phase 2
To ensure continuity and efficiency, the same consultant is expected to continue into a potential Phase 2 (design and implementation), subject to the successful completion of Phase 1 and subsequent agreement on scope, timeline, and budget.
