Sales Order Creation Process

Automate Sales Order Creation. Improve Accuracy and Speed.

Avaali’s Sales Order Creation Solution, powered by OpenText Extended ECM (xECM) and integrated with SAP ERP, automates and governs the entire sales order creation lifecycle. Eliminate manual data entry, reduce approval delays, and improve visibility across every stage of the process.

Elevating Procurement to a Strategic Advantage

Creating Sales Orders (SOs) manually in SAP can be time-consuming and error-prone. Teams need to enter a large amount of customer data, reference details, and item-level information — often copied from purchase orders or emails.


This manual setup results in frequent errors, delayed approvals, and a lack of transparency on the order’s progress.

Avaali’s Sales Order Creation Solution using OpenText xECM bridges this gap by digitizing and automating the process through configurable web-based forms, approval workflows, and seamless SAP integration.

The solution captures all critical data required for SO creation, routes it through automated approvals, and triggers auto-creation of the SO in SAP, ensuring governance, accuracy, and faster order processing.

Why Sales Order Creation Needs Digitization

01

Manual and Tedious Entry

Complex fields, multiple validations, and manual checks make SO creation a slow, error-prone process.
02

Lack of Accuracy

Human dependency often leads to incorrect data, duplication, and costly rework.
03

No Process Visibility

Paper- or email-based tracking makes it difficult to identify bottlenecks or pending approvals.
04

Compliance Risks

Missing documentation and lack of audit trails make it hard to maintain process integrity.
05

High Processing Time

Delays in SO creation impact downstream logistics, invoicing, and customer satisfaction.

The Hidden Costs of Inefficient Procurement

Manual workflows, inconsistent data, and fragmented systems slow operations and reduce transparency.

Time-consuming and manual entry of SO details in SAP

High dependency on individuals for data validation

Errors due to incorrect or incomplete information

No single place to view related SO documentation

Approval delays due to email-based coordination

Absence of automated alerts or SLA-based tracking

Limited visibility into who is responsible for next steps

Core Capabilities of Our Product

Accounts Payable Automation

Our AI-driven, template-less invoice processing accelerates AP cycles by capturing invoices from any source—portal, email, or scans—with intelligent OCR. Built-in validations, compliance checks, and digital verification ensure every invoice moves seamlessly through structured approval workflows, providing complete visibility from posting to payment.

Supplier Onboarding

Standardized onboarding forms and automated validations ensure suppliers submit complete, accurate data from the start. Multi-level review workflows streamline compliance checks, reducing rework and delays. This results in faster supplier activation and cleaner master data for long-term procurement excellence.

E-Sourcing

Run configurable RFQs and reverse auctions effortlessly using a unified interface designed for strategic, data-driven sourcing. Granular rule-based evaluations and real-time insights make comparing suppliers simple and transparent, enabling faster, smarter award decisions.

Supplier Experience Portal

A unified collaboration portal gives suppliers real-time visibility into POs, shipment creation, invoicing, and status updates. QR-based and digital signature verification boost accuracy and trust, while self-service dashboards reduce dependency on internal teams and accelerate query resolution.

Contract Management

Centralize contract authoring, review, and approvals through guided workflows that ensure consistency and compliance. Multi-step legal and procurement reviews, combined with obligation and renewal tracking, reduce risks and maintain visibility across the contract lifecycle.

Catalog Management

Hosted catalogs make policy-compliant purchasing intuitive and fast, with quick item uploads, bulk updates, and advanced search. Users can create carts in one click, ensuring standardized, efficient requisitions that reduce friction across procurement.

Spend Analytics

Real-time dashboards provide instant visibility into spend across categories, plants, suppliers, and timelines—without exporting data. Teams can quickly identify saving opportunities, streamline reporting, and deliver clear, audit-ready insights to leadership.
