AI Agents for SAP Quality Management
Turn every COA and lab report into recorded QM results. Automatically.

What it does
Every certificate that feeds an inspection lot: read, evaluated, recorded.
Quality data arrives as supplier COAs, third-party lab reports, and in-house test results in every layout imaginable. Artificio reads them all, maps each value to the right SAP inspection characteristic, evaluates it against your spec, and records the result. No manual entry into QE51N, no re-keying from PDFs.

How it fits
From any certificate to a recorded inspection lot.
One flow that both your quality and SAP teams can follow end to end.
Why Artificio
Not OCR with extra steps. An AI agent that understands QM.
Traditional capture tools stop at reading a certificate. Artificio understands the result, maps it to the right SAP characteristic, evaluates it against spec, and records it. The work that actually takes a QA technician's time.

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.
- 1Week 1
Connect SAP
Secure connection via OData / RFC. Read access to inspection plans, characteristics, and lots. No core changes.
- 2Week 2
Set your rules
No model training. The vision model already reads any COA. You just define the extraction rules and how values map to your SAP characteristics.
- 3Week 3
Pilot
Record results in parallel. QA reviews every lot before it closes and tunes valuation tolerances.
- 4Week 4
Production
Switch on touchless recording for in-spec lots; out-of-spec results route to QA, explained.
For SAP teams
Recorded in QM through standard SAP interfaces: no screen-scraping.
BAPI_INSPOPER_RECORDRESULTS, OData, and RFC. It reads the live inspection plan, characteristics, and spec limits before it writes anything, so every result is evaluated against your real SAP configuration, not a stale copy. Every recorded value and usage decision carries a full audit trail.What this looks like in practice
From a supplier COA to a recorded inspection lot.
A regulated manufacturer runs incoming supplier COAs through Artificio. Each value matched to its SAP inspection characteristic, evaluated against spec, and recorded to the lot with a proposed usage decision. In-spec lots close straight through; out-of-spec results arrive at the QA desk explained characteristic by characteristic.
