What does our solution look like? Automation thanks to SAP Document AI<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With SAP\u00a0Document\u00a0AI,\u00a0incoming\u00a0purchase\u00a0orders\u00a0are automatically\u00a0extracted\u00a0and\u00a0processed. The\u00a0data\u00a0is\u00a0integrated\u00a0directly\u00a0and in real time\u00a0intoSAP S\/4HANA\u00a0or\u00a0SAP ECC \u2013\u00a0without\u00a0any\u00a0manual\u00a0intervention. In three steps, this means:<\/p>\n\n\n

  1. ERP System Integration
    <\/strong>Order data is fed directly into SAP S\/4HANA or SAP ECC, ensuring real-time updates and data consistency.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Error Reduction
    <\/strong>Removing manual entry significantly reduces input mistakes and improves overall order accuracy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Scalability
    <\/strong>Automation supports higher volumes of orders without increasing staffing needs.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    The result? Lower operating costs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    By automating order intake through SAP BTP, companies reduce costs, minimize errors, and handle more orders with the same resources. This improves customer service quality while making the process more scalable and efficient.
    In concrete terms:<\/strong> Automation decreases manual workload and associated operational costs. Minimized human error results in fewer corrections and returns. And orders are processed and updated instantly within SAP ERP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
