    Current restrictions in the ordering process for supplement claims

    A SAP project is currently being rolled out step by step within the DB Group. One of the current rollout phases affects the ordering process for already approved supplement claims.As part of this transition, there are currently restrictions: Orders can only be placed to a limited extent or, in most cases, not at all.Although the originally planned system freeze (June 12 to June 17) has been completed, technical issues have arisen during the restart. Work is currently underway to resolve these issues; system stabilization is expected by September 30. 

    What does this mean for you?Delays in ordering approved supplements are currently possible.Questions or uncertainties in this context are understandable. 

    What happens next?Once system stability has been restored, the backlog will be processed promptly within approximately 10 working days.We ask for your understanding regarding the resulting inconveniences. Should you require further clarification, please do not hesitate to contact us.
