Directional estimate. Assumes 12 months. Excludes the upside of faster time-to-first-order and fewer bad-debt write-offs, we'll model both on the demo call.

What it does

Every onboarding document: read, validated, and turned into a clean customer master.

A new customer sends a setup form, a tax exemption or resale certificate, a credit application, and trade references. Each in its own format. Artificio reads them all, validates the critical fields, screens for duplicates and credit risk, and assembles a complete, approval-ready customer master record. No re-keying into XD01, no chasing missing fields before the first order can ship.

Why it matters

Slow onboarding delays revenue. Sloppy onboarding creates bad debt.

Every day a customer waits to be set up is a day their order can't ship, and every unchecked credit limit is a write-off waiting to happen. Getting the front door right does both jobs at once.

  • Revenue

    Faster time to first order

    • Setup in minutes, not a multi-day queue
    • Sales stops waiting on data entry
    • Orders ship as soon as the deal closes
  • Credit risk

    Credit-checked at the door

    • Credit pulled and a limit proposed up front
    • Risky accounts flagged before terms are set
    • Fewer bad-debt write-offs downstream
  • Clean data

    No duplicate customers

    • Same account under multiple records screened out
    • Accurate credit exposure across the group
    • Cleaner reporting and fewer billing errors

Why Artificio

Not OCR with extra steps. An AI agent that understands customer master data.

Traditional capture tools stop at reading a form. Artificio validates the data, screens for duplicates and credit risk, and assembles the SAP record. The onboarding work that actually takes a specialist's time and protects your revenue and your receivables.

Implementation

Live in four weeks: no SAP core changes.

Artificio connects through standard SAP interfaces, so there's no ABAP development and no risk to your clean core.

  1. 1Week 1

    Connect SAP

    Secure connection via OData / RFC. Access to customer master and existing customers for duplicate screening. No core changes.

  2. 2Week 2

    Set your rules

    No model training. The vision model already reads any setup pack. You just define the required fields, credit rules, and approval routing.

  3. 3Week 3

    Pilot

    Onboard live customers in parallel. Sales and credit review every record before creation and tune the screening thresholds.

  4. 4Week 4

    Production

    Switch on touchless onboarding for clean records; anything that fails a check routes for review, flagged with the reason.

For SAP teams

Created through standard SAP interfaces: no screen-scraping.

Artificio creates and updates customer master records through the same interfaces your SAP team already trusts: BAPI_BUPA_CREATE_FROM_DATA and the customer/BP APIs, OData, and RFC. It screens against your live SAP customer base for duplicates before it writes anything, proposes a credit limit for approval, and nothing is created until it clears your workflow. Every field carries a full audit trail back to its source document.

What this looks like in practice

From a setup pack to an approved SAP customer.

A sales operations team runs new-customer setup packs through Artificio: documents read, tax exemption and addresses validated, duplicates and credit screened, and a complete customer master assembled with a proposed credit limit for approval. Clean records onboard in minutes; anything that fails a check routes for review with the exact field and reason flagged.

Questions sales, credit & SAP teams ask

Answers before the demo.

Does it work with SAP ECC?
Yes. Artificio creates customer master records on ECC 6.0 today via OData and RFC. No upgrade required. The same workflows carry forward when you move to S/4HANA and the Business Partner model.
Does it support S/4HANA Business Partner?
Yes: it creates customers through the S/4HANA Business Partner model on-premise and private cloud, and works alongside SAP MDG where you use it for governance.
Do we need to train it on our forms first?
No. There's no model training and no template building. Artificio uses a vision language model that already understands documents, guided by the required fields and validation rules you define. It reads setup packs in layouts it has never seen on day one.
How does credit screening work?
Artificio reads the credit application and trade references, and can pull a credit check from your provider to propose a credit limit and risk category for approval. Which bureau, how limits are proposed, and who signs off are configurable to your credit policy. The record is never created without human approval.
Does it handle tax exemption and resale certificates?
Yes. It reads exemption and resale certificates, captures the exemption reason and expiry, and flags certificates that are missing or expired before the customer is set up for tax-exempt billing.
How does duplicate-customer screening work?
Before creating a record, Artificio screens against your existing SAP customer base by name, tax ID, and address: catching the same account entered under different spellings, which distorts credit exposure and reporting.
Does anything get created in SAP without approval?
No. Artificio assembles and validates the record and proposes a credit limit, but nothing is created until it clears your approval workflow. You keep a human gate on every new customer and every credit decision.
Does it require SAP customization or ABAP development?
No. Artificio connects through standard interfaces (OData, BAPI, RFC) with no core changes and no custom ABAP, protecting your clean-core strategy.
How long is implementation?
Typically four weeks: connect, configure your fields, credit rules and validations, pilot in parallel, then switch on production. No model training and no core SAP changes are involved.
