Project Summary
Manages multiple legal entities (reagent R&D, manufacturing, sales and trading, and the genetic-testing lab) on one platform, with centralized data and a consistent basis
Connects the lab system (LIMS) with SAP so lab project orders generate sales and production orders automatically in SAP, cutting manual re-keying and improving accuracy
Company Profile
To protect the client's privacy, this case withholds the name and identifying details; only industry and outcomes are shared.
This is a biopharmaceutical/reagents company spanning several legal entities, R&D and manufacturing of test reagents, sales and trading, and a genetic-testing lab, with cross-border operations. IVD-reagent companies often juggle an "R&D-manufacturing-testing-trading" multi-entity structure across borders: lab orders, sales orders and production orders sit in separate steps and manual re-entry is error-prone, while a global group must also deliver two sets of financial statements under different standards and consolidate the data. With SAP Business One, MTC brought the labs, sales and production of multiple entities onto one platform and connected the LIMS to SAP, so lab project orders automatically generate sales and production orders, cutting manual entry and improving accuracy. Domestic and overseas companies now sit in one system with clear visibility into overseas returns, finance and cost accounting are simplified, and parallel financial statements meet group-consolidation requirements.
Business and Management Requirements
Management Requirements Before Implementation
- Several legal entities across R&D, manufacturing, testing and trading coexisted and needed unified management and centralized data in one system
- The overseas head company and domestic companies needed to be managed in the same system to make overseas investment returns clear
- The lab system and SAP were separate, so orders had to be re-entered manually and were error-prone
- It had to meet group headquarters' control and consolidation of domestic data, supporting two sets of financial statements in parallel
Implementation Goals
- Bring the labs, sales and production of multiple legal entities into one system for unified management
- Connect the lab system with SAP so project orders automatically generate sales and production orders
- Manage domestic and overseas companies in the same system, making overseas investment returns clearly visible
- Support two sets of financial statements in parallel to meet group-consolidation requirements
