SAP integrates AI into many of its solutions, offering a multitude of use cases to allow exploiting this technology within its applications.
Key SAP use cases include requisition creation, reporting, code generation, and analytics with the assistance of an AI co-pilot. These innovations enable companies to increase efficiency and make more informed decisions thanks to artificial intelligence.
Here is a selection of use cases illustrating the integration of artificial intelligence into SAP applications.
Automating requisition creation from multiple document sources
Today, the creation of purchase requisitions from a variety of document sources is crucial. Nevertheless, this task is often considered tedious, due to the need for manual, rather than automatic, searching. In this context, SAP offers a tailored solution that effectively meets this need.
SAP Sales Order Management and the Build Process in S/4HANA Cloud automate the creation of sales orders by extracting relevant and specific information from a variety of uploaded files, such as e-mails, PDF documents, images and much more.
These applications reduce the cost of creating sales orders by 25% and speed up order cycle times with a lower error rate during processing. This solution gathers all the relevant information required for an order request, saving time and manual labor.
What’s more, thanks to SAP’s artificial intelligence capabilities, it is now possible to customize the list of fields to be extracted according to the company’s specific needs, offering greater flexibility and adaptability.
Boosting reporting speed with generative AI: The role of SAP Joule
In a highly competitive market, speed and efficiency of reporting are major concerns for companies. To meet this challenge, the use of artificial intelligence enables significant timesaving by providing instant responses and accelerating the production of reports.
SAP has taken this concern into account by creating Joule, an AI assistant capable, in particular, of generating accurate reports in real time from prompts proposed by the user. Joule acts as an AI co-pilot and responds to reporting requests in a matter of moments, providing accurate and instantaneous results.
This practice enables rapid responses and on-demand reports, simplifying and accelerating decision-making while eliminating the potential for errors.
Accelerating code generation with AI in SAP Build Code
In the context of application development, writing code is perceived as a complex task that requires initial learning. Even experienced developers must regularly consult documentation, which slows down the development process.
To accelerate developer productivity and enable rapid application creation, the German software publisher offers SAP Build Code. This solution, integrated with the Joule AI assistant, generates code from natural language prompts.
Joule is able to create all the necessary CDS files, defining entities, relationships and service projections according to user requirements. It can also modify existing models from simple descriptions, and help developers generate unit tests for enterprise services.
The results of this solution are significant:
- 30% reduction in application development costs
- 30% faster application development
- Significant improvement in employee satisfaction.
Improving insight accuracy with SAP Analytics Cloud and AI
In a context of increasing digitalization of user requests, IT teams often find themselves overwhelmed by numerous specific user requests for report generation, which takes up a lot of their time.
To meet this challenge, SAP offers the SAP Analytics Cloud solution, which integrates a chatbot enabling users to formulate requests via prompts. The chatbot then generates precise responses, freeing IT teams from this task. It can retrieve specific information from available data and create reports based on requests.
Guaranteed results include :
- Faster access to relevant information
- Increased adoption of analytics by the 80% of occasional users thanks to ease of use
- The ability to answer users’ questions directly
Aware of the changing demands and needs of users in the digital world, German software publisher SAP is integrating generative AI into many of its solutions. This integration offers a multitude of use cases enabling the full potential of this technology to be exploited within its applications. What’s more, SAP helps companies to effectively meet today’s challenges, improve productivity and make more informed decisions.
