SGM Reduces Sales Order Processing Errors by 99% by Simplifying SAP SD With Liquid UI for Excel
SAP SD
Manufacturing
Liquid UI for Excel
Challenges
Order details were received through email – Planners received order data from multiple factories and manually transferred it into SAP.
Manual data entry caused errors – Copying order details such as address, date, item, and quantity increased the risk of incorrect entries.
Order validation required manual checks – Planners reviewed order details and applied business rules manually before processing.
Order changes created rework and delays – Modifications or cancellations required planners to revisit and update SAP orders manually.
Solution
Excel-based sales order processing – Order data is uploaded from Excel directly into SAP for creation (VA01) and changes (VA02).
Automated validation of order data – Sales order inputs are validated against predefined logic before processing.
Auto-calculation of shipping requirements – Carton and pallet quantities are calculated automatically based on order data.
Consolidated order visibility in SAP screens – Additional information is displayed on SAP screens to help planners review multiple materials at once.
