Order released
An approved SAP Business One sales order released to a 3PL warehouse starts the flow.
About this template
What This Workflow Does
Teams that email or upload 3PL pick instructions by hand slow fulfillment and make address and quantity mistakes. When a sales order is released to a 3PL warehouse, this template reads the order from SAP Business One, uses OpenAI to pull the pick-up details and builds an EDI 940 warehouse shipping order with customer, ship-to, lines, quantities and delivery instructions.
Key benefits
- Starts on release — Orders released to a 3PL warehouse start the flow.
- Full order detail — Customer, ship-to, lines, quantities and instructions are collected.
- OpenAI pick-up details — OpenAI extracts the details the 3PL needs.
- Standard EDI 940 — The output follows the EDI 940 format 3PLs expect.
Inside the flow
How the template works
A sales order released to a 3PL warehouse starts the flow; appse ai reads its details from SAP Business One and OpenAI extracts the pick-up details. The data is then built into an EDI 940 warehouse shipping order.
Collect order details
Customer, ship-to address, item lines, quantities, warehouse and delivery instructions are read from SAP Business One.
Extract pick-up details
OpenAI pulls the pick-up details the 3PL needs from the order data.
Build the EDI 940
The data is translated into an EDI 940 warehouse shipping order telling the 3PL what to pick, pack and ship.
