Key Accountabilities and Challenges:
Accountable for accurate and timely transactional input validation and data entry from an invoice or service receiving document, such as a field ticket or timesheet, into an online Service Entry Sheet (SES) document in BP’s SAP ERP Backbone solution.

The Service Entry Sheet Releaser verifies the acceptability of an SES thoroughly and then forwards it to the responsible business User for acceptance. Under certain process guidelines, the Service Entry Sheet Releaser may accept (release) the SES on the responsible user’s behalf.
