The problem

The line runs to a schedule. The documents do not.

Supplier quality documents, customer POs, ASN and delivery paperwork, inspection results and invoices all have to be read, matched to the right part, order or batch, and keyed into SAP before anything downstream can happen.

What comes into Artificio

Automotive operations run on more than EDI.

Even highly integrated automotive environments still depend on PDFs, spreadsheets, email attachments, scanned records and supplier-generated documents. Artificio turns those inputs into validated SAP-ready data.

  • Supplier & quality

    • Certificates of Analysis
    • Inspection and test reports
    • PPAP-related documents
    • Supplier certificates
    • Material specifications
  • Production & logistics

    • Production reports
    • Delivery notes
    • Advance shipment information
    • Goods receipt documents
    • Warehouse and transfer paperwork
  • Commercial & finance

    • Customer purchase orders
    • Supplier invoices
    • Claims and debit notes
    • Pricing / order spreadsheets
    • Email-based requests and forms

Across the automotive value chain

Automation by automotive function.

One automation layer across quality, sales, procurement, logistics and production, with SAP business context carried through every workflow.

  • 01

    Supplier Quality & Inspection Automation

    SAP QMAutomotive specialty

    Capture supplier COAs and inspection reports, identify the correct material, batch and inspection lot, map results to characteristics, validate specifications and units, and route nonconforming or ambiguous results for quality review before SAP recording.

  • 02

    Customer Order Automation

    SAP SD

    Read customer purchase orders from PDF, email or spreadsheet, identify sold-to and ship-to context, map customer part numbers to SAP materials, validate quantities, plants and requested dates, and create clean SAP sales orders.

  • 03

    Invoice & Procurement Automation

    SAP FI ยท MM

    Capture supplier invoices, validate vendors, purchase orders, goods receipts, quantities and tolerances, route discrepancies, and post approved supplier invoices to SAP with the source document retained.

  • 04

    Inbound Logistics & Receiving

    SAP MM ยท EWM

    Use delivery notes, ASN documents, packing slips and inbound records to identify the related supplier, PO, material and delivery context, then drive receiving and exception workflows with less manual lookup.

  • 05

    Production & Shop-Floor Workflows

    SAP PP ยท QM

    Turn production forms, inspection sheets, confirmations and exception records into structured data, validate against production orders and operations, and route the approved information into controlled SAP processes.

  • 06

    Supplier, Material & Master Data Requests

    SAP MM ยท Business Partner ยท Master Data

    Collect supplier and material information through configurable forms, request supporting documents, validate submissions, orchestrate approvals and move clean master-data requests into SAP.

Built for automotive exceptions

Automation should stop when the business context does not match.

Automotive operations are full of exceptions: customer part numbers, split deliveries, supplier discrepancies, quality failures and mismatched quantities. Artificio uses SAP context to automate the clear cases and route the rest intentionally.

  • SD

    Customer part number does not map

    1. Detect
    2. Show likely SAP materials
    3. Sales review
    4. Approve mapping
    5. Create order
  • QM

    Supplier quality result is out of spec

    1. Validate
    2. Hold
    3. Quality review
    4. Decision
    5. Approved SAP action
  • AP

    Invoice quantity differs from receipt

    1. Compare invoice / PO / GR
    2. Apply tolerance
    3. AP or purchasing review
    4. Post or hold
  • MM

    Delivery document references multiple POs

    1. Find candidates
    2. Match material / quantities
    3. Review ambiguity
    4. Continue receiving workflow

More than OCR or EDI

Automate the documents that still fall between systems.

EDI can move structured messages and OCR can read documents. Artificio focuses on the operational gap between the incoming information and the correct SAP transaction.

Built around your SAP landscape

Add an automation layer without replacing your core systems.

Artificio works alongside SAP ECC or S/4HANA and complements existing EDI, portals, warehouse systems and supplier channels by automating the unstructured and exception-heavy work that still lands with people.

  • ECC & S/4HANA

    Integrate with the SAP landscape you run today and keep the automation layer independent of a core transformation program.
  • Human-in-the-loop

    Quality failures, ambiguous mappings, tolerance issues and policy-sensitive cases can stop for expert review.
  • Traceable end to end

    Keep the original document, extracted values, business rules, reviewer decisions and SAP response in one governed process trail.

Where operational time disappears

How much work is still happening between the document and SAP?

Look beyond data entry. Automotive teams spend time identifying the right order or lot, mapping part numbers, checking schedules and quantities, resolving supplier discrepancies, validating quality results and documenting why an exception was approved.

A practical automotive use case

From supplier quality document to validated SAP QM result.

A supplier sends a COA or inspection report. Artificio reads the document, identifies the supplier, material and batch, finds the relevant inspection context in SAP, maps the reported tests to SAP quality characteristics, validates values against specifications, routes exceptions to quality, and records approved results in SAP.

Questions automotive & SAP teams ask

Answers before the demo.

Which automotive documents can Artificio handle?
Supplier quality documents, customer POs, ASN and delivery paperwork, inspection results, production forms and invoices.
Which parts of the value chain does it cover?
Supplier quality and inspection, customer order automation, invoice and procurement, inbound logistics and receiving, production and shop-floor work, and supplier, material and master data.
What happens when a customer part number does not map to ours?
It is routed for a decision rather than guessed at. The same applies to a supplier quality result that is out of specification, an invoice quantity that differs from what was received, and a delivery document referencing several orders.
Does this change our SAP system?
The documents become validated SAP transactions through the interfaces you already run. What Artificio adds sits in front of SAP, not inside it.
What is kept for audit?
Source documents, the decisions taken on them and the SAP transactions they produced are kept together.
