RE: <Customer> Coupa Weekly Status Report - <MM/DD/YYY> - <Project Health Color>
Hello,
Attached please find a copy of the weekly Coupa Status Report for the week ending 1/29/16. The project health status is in Yellow. We continued receiving decisions from ABC team and provided updated Coupa documents (Configuration P2P/Expense, Integration Requirements/Mapping) to the team for review/sign off. We started testing ABC corporate card integration into Coupa and looking into alternative plan for Big Bank corporate card. For this upcoming week, we will work with ABC to finalize open decisions in P2P Configurations, Integration Mappings and continue supplier enablement work.
Key Accomplishments
- Project kickoff and Administrator and AP training completed and well-received
- Business Process Analysis, Integrations Document and Configuration Document all near-completion after on-site working sessions
- Integration Initial Kickoff completed
- Supplier Enablement Approach completed
Key Next Steps
- Test instance configuration to be completed
- Final signoff on Business Process Analysis, Integrations and Configuration documents
- Continuation of Integration Design and Field Mappings
Key Decisions

Key Risks
- No decision for EMEA rollout yet determined - may jeopardize testing milestone schedule
Key Open Issues

Please do not hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions.
Thank you,
