How GenAI simplifies a buyer's work

With the recent addition of MyWave Gen AI to SAP Business One, enormous time savings can be realized. We would like to explain this using a concrete example from the life of a buyer.

Traditional method in SAP Business One

A procurement officer wants to find all open purchase orders for a specific supplier, where the delivery date has expired, and then update them with a new delivery date. Without MyWave's Gen AI, this process would look like this:

  1. Navigating to the purchase order module
  2. Setting a filter for the specific supplier
  3. Adding a second filter for open orders
  4. Setting a third filter for orders with an expired delivery date
  5. Viewing the results
  6. Open each relevant order individually
  7. Adjusting the delivery date manually
  8. Saving the changes
  9. Going back to the list and repeating the process for each order

This process requires many clicks, knowledge of the SAP Business One interface, and can be quite time-consuming, especially if there are many orders.

With GenAI from MyWave

The same task can be done much more easily by using AI. The buyer now has the ability to control the system using a language command (prompt) in his own language.

  1. The procurement officer opens the MyWave interface in SAP Business One
  2. He or she types or speaks a command in natural language, for example, "Show me all open purchase orders for supplier XYZ with an expired delivery date and update them all with a new delivery date of next Friday."
  3. MyWave processes this request by:
    • Identifying the appropriate orders
    • Displaying an overview of the orders found
    • After confirmation, automatically updating the delivery date for all relevant orders

This process is significantly faster, requires less technical knowledge of SAP Business One, and reduces the risk of errors that can occur with manual entry.

This example illustrates how MyWave can simplify complex, multi-step processes into a single, intuitive interaction. It allows employees to work more efficiently and focus on more strategic tasks, instead of spending time on repetitive administrative tasks.
