Inside the flow
How the template works
appse ai runs this workflow end to end for SAP Business One — automatically, every single day. Here is exactly what happens when this template runs.
Scheduled Delivery Monitoring
The system automatically scans SAP Business One at regular intervals to detect newly created delivery records ready for EDI 856 Advance Ship Notice generation and FTP delivery to trading partners.
Sales Order Data Retrieval
For each identified delivery, the flow fetches the corresponding sales order details from SAP Business One, ensuring all shipment data aligns accurately with the original purchase order for compliant ASN generation.
Intelligent Shipment Data Validation
Key shipment details—including tracking numbers, product SKUs, and item quantities—are cross-validated against the original order to ensure accuracy before EDI 856 ASN generation proceeds.
Exception Handling & Error Routing
If validation fails due to missing or mismatched data, the flow branches into an exception path and sends a detailed alert via Microsoft Teams, enabling the team to resolve discrepancies before the shipment is affected.
AI-Powered EDI 856 Generation
When all validations pass, OpenAI generates a fully compliant EDI 856 Advance Ship Notice document in the required X12 format, ensuring standards-compliant ASN creation directly from SAP Business One delivery data.
EDI File Transformation & Encoding
The generated ASN is transformed into a properly structured EDI file and encoded for secure, error-free transmission to your trading partner's receiving systems.
Secure FTP Delivery
The finalized EDI 856 file is automatically uploaded to the designated FTP or SFTP server, ensuring timely and reliable delivery to your trading partner without any manual file transfer.
SAP Delivery Status Update
Once the ASN is successfully transmitted, the delivery record in SAP Business One is updated to reflect completion, preventing duplicate processing and maintaining a clean audit trail.
