Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) implemented an electronic supplier change request (e-SCR) system using SAP Cloud Platform to replace manual paper routing. The portal enables suppliers to submit material change and recall documentation online, routes requests to internal approvers, and integrates with the existing SAP ERP system. The project was completed in under eight weeks and delivered real-time tracking plus improved control over fit, form, and function changes.
