ZEN WORKFLOW

One spreadsheet. Governed creation.

ZEN transforms Excel into a governed SAP data collection tool. Each contributor sees only the fields they’re responsible for. Validation and routing happen in the background via SAP Standard Workflow.

THE ZEN FLOW

Structured creation without the overhead

Requestor submits ZEN file

The requestor populates the fields within their scope in a structured Excel template. ZEN validates completeness before submission.

Stewards populate their fields

SAP Standard Workflow routes the file to each field owner. Each steward sees only their columns, no noise, no overwrites.

Validation and SAP creation

BRFplus rules validate the complete record. On approval, ZEN creates the material in SAP with all governance rules enforced.


CAPABILITIES

Tools that make cleansing sustainable

Role-filtered views

Each steward's version of the ZEN file shows only the columns they're responsible for, eliminating confusion and preventing out-of-scope edits.

No bespoke portal

ZEN uses Excel, a tool everyone already knows. No training required. No new system to adopt. The governance is invisible to the end user.

SAP Standard Workflow routing

Once completed, the steward uploads the file, and it automatically routes to the next steward using standard SAP Business workflow.

How does ZEN fit your creation process?

Every organisation’s new material creation workflow is different. In a demo, we walk through how ZEN maps to your existing approval and stewardship structure.
