Sales order accuracy and speed have a direct impact on customer satisfaction and business growth. SAP systems are designed to manage end-to-end enterprise operations, but the sales order creation process still depends heavily on manual input. Employees often spend hours extracting data from emails and attachments, verifying it, and entering it into SAP ECC or SAP S/4HANA. This manual dependency leads to delays, errors, and high operational costs.

Cherrywork Sales Order Automation (SOA) offers intelligent SAP Order Management Automation, addressing these challenges with a Gen AI-powered application designed specifically for SAP users. It enables businesses to automatically extract, validate, and post sales orders in SAP, eliminating repetitive tasks and reducing human intervention. The result is faster, error-free order processing and improved responsiveness across the sales cycle.

Current Challenges in Manual Sales Order Processing

Handling multiple order formats

Sales teams often receive purchase orders in various formats, including emails, PDFs, Word files, and Excel sheets. Extracting data from these unstructured sources and entering it manually into SAP consumes valuable time and increases the risk of inconsistent entries.

High error rates and delayed approvals

Manual validation leaves room for human error, leading to incorrect pricing, duplicate orders, or wrong customer and material details. These discrepancies delay approvals and extend processing times, directly impacting delivery schedules and order accuracy.

Limited visibility and late exception handling

Without real-time visibility into order status, users struggle to identify and resolve issues promptly. By the time errors are detected, shipment deadlines are often missed, creating a ripple effect across logistics and customer service teams.

Rising operational costs and customer dissatisfaction

Every delay or error adds to rework, higher administrative costs, and strained customer relationships. Slow and error-prone order processing ultimately affects business credibility and profitability.

Cherrywork Sales Order Automation addresses these challenges with AI-driven automation that accelerates data extraction, validation, and posting, bringing speed, accuracy, and control to SAP sales order processing. Read more on how Cherrywork SOA can help you address these challenges.

How Cherrywork Sales Order Automation Complements SAP BTP

Cherrywork SOA is built on SAP BTP, ensuring native compatibility with both SAP ECC and SAP S/4HANA. This SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) integration foundation provides reliable integration, data security, and scalability across enterprise systems.

The application leverages Gen AI to extract and process purchase order data automatically, validating it against SAP records for customer, pricing, and material details. Real-time lookups ensure every sales order aligns with existing master data, preventing discrepancies and duplicate entries.

This integration within SAP BTP enables consistent data exchange, audit trails, and automation transparency. For SAP users, Cherrywork SOA acts as an intelligent extension that complements existing processes while significantly reducing manual intervention.

Key Features of Cherrywork Sales Order Automation

Gen AI-based data extraction

Cherrywork SOA uses Gen AI to intelligently extract data from incoming purchase orders attached in emails, including PDFs, Excel sheets, and Word documents, leveraging SAP automation tools to streamline the entire order creation process. The AI engine converts unstructured data into structured formats, ensuring accurate order creation without manual rekeying. 

Automated email scheduler

An integrated email scheduler continuously monitors incoming emails, captures attachments, and sends them for AI-based processing. This ensures no order request is missed and eliminates the need for manual tracking.

Duplicate entry detection

AI-driven duplicate checks automatically scan new entries against existing SAP data to prevent redundancies. This feature keeps customer databases clean, accurate, and audit-ready.

Exception handling workbench

The digital workbench is designed to manage exceptions efficiently. Whenever data mismatches or validation issues occur, the system halts execution and alerts relevant users based on predefined business rules. Users can view, correct, and reprocess errors directly through this interface, ensuring smooth resolution.

Real-time SAP validation and notifications

Cherrywork SOA performs instant lookups for material codes, pricing, and customer information within SAP. Users receive real-time notifications about validation errors or missing data, ensuring prompt action and continuous order flow.

Analytics dashboard

The intuitive dashboard provides complete visibility into sales order operations. Users can track performance, monitor processing times, and identify recurring errors. Built-in analytics help managers evaluate throughput and optimize workflows for sustained efficiency.

These features demonstrate how Cherrywork integrates AI intelligence and SAP functionality to transform sales order creation into a faster and more reliable process. Explore the Cherrywork Sales Order Automation solution now!
