Innovation Highlights

Sales Order Management and Processing


Automatic creation of sales orders from unstructured
data
With this SAP Fiori app, you as an internal sales
representative can create sales orders from PDF files. After a
purchase order file in PDF format is uploaded, the system

master data (for example, the sold-to party) from the
extracted data. This data is saved in a sales order request,
which you can later convert into a sales order.

Capabilities
§ Automatic creation of sales orders with the new SAP Fiori
app "Create Sales Orders - Automated Extraction":
§ Extracting the relevant data from unstructured source
formats, such as PDF files, and translating it into sales
orders

Benefit
§ Automatic creation of sales orders
§ Reduced manual efforts

enhancement of the customer data to manage address-dependent attributes
§ Enabling the consumption of multiple and time-dependent addresses that are provided by BP master data
§ Settlement management and global trade management reuse of the given logic for sales document processing
§ Operational procurement support for the integration of multiple addresses in the third-party process; purchase
requisition and purchase order retrieval of delivery address information from the sales order
§ Continued extended warehouse management (EWM) use of BP standard addresses from the very beginning as the
ship-to addresses in outbound delivery; consideration of multiple and time-dependent addresses of the BP in order-
related outbound delivery processes in which the specific address to be used is already determined in the order;
option in direct outbound delivery orders (delivery created in EWM) to select an address from the BP’s multiple
addresses
§ Continued transportation-management consumption of BP information and locations that were created based on a
BP address

per customer, per address)
