This document discusses how to leverage your SYSPRO ERP investment through automation, workflows, and customization. It provides examples of how to automatically trigger actions when conditions are met, such as notifying managers of cancelled orders. Workflows can be created to model business processes with conditions, rules, and audit trails. Reports and programs can be automated and scheduled. Contact management allows tracking of customer and supplier information. The interface can be customized with favorites, flowcharts, on-screen help, and more to match business needs.
