About this template
Customers ask for order status and product availability on WhatsApp because it is the fastest channel they have. Answering is not fast at all: a rep opens SAP Business One, finds the business partner, searches the order or the item master, and types the reply by hand. This template removes that round trip. appse ai classifies the incoming message, matches the sender's phone number to a SAP Business One business partner, retrieves the relevant sales order or catalogue item, and replies on WhatsApp from live ERP data, escalating only the genuine exceptions to your team.
Key benefits
Inside the flow
appse ai runs this workflow end to end, from an inbound WhatsApp message to a verified reply or a fully contextualised escalation. Here is exactly what happens.
The workflow starts the moment a customer sends a WhatsApp message. appse ai captures the contact name, phone number, and message body so the enquiry enters the process without anyone forwarding, copying, or re-keying it.
appse ai analyses the message to determine whether the customer wants account information, sales order details, product information, or general assistance. It also reads urgency and sentiment, so a chasing message from a frustrated customer is treated differently from a routine question.
appse ai matches the sender's WhatsApp phone number against business partner records in SAP Business One. This ties the conversation to a real customer account and retrieves the identity that every downstream lookup depends on.
appse ai checks whether the phone number produced exactly one clear customer match. If no account is found, or several accounts share the number, the workflow prepares a clarification request or routes the enquiry for internal review rather than answering from the wrong record.
With the customer confirmed, appse ai selects the SAP Business One lookup that fits the message. General greetings are answered directly, while account, order, and product questions are sent to the relevant ERP data source.
For sales order enquiries, appse ai uses the customer's SAP Business One account to retrieve their order records, then answers questions about order references, dates, values, customer purchase references, and current order detail.
When the customer asks about a product, appse ai searches the SAP Business One item catalogue using the description written in the WhatsApp message. Matching item information becomes the basis of the reply, so customers do not need to know an item code to get an answer.
appse ai determines whether the enquiry can be closed automatically or needs a person. It structures the outcome with the customer identity, the request summary, the retrieved ERP information, the escalation status, and the recommended reply.
Straightforward enquiries receive a WhatsApp reply built from current SAP Business One data. Unsupported, unclear, or unresolved requests are handed to the responsible internal team with the context they need to pick it up without starting from scratch.
See how automated WhatsApp enquiry handling protects response times and frees your sales team for higher-value work.
01
Routine customer questions are resolved without a sales rep opening SAP Business One to look anything up, so response times hold even outside working hours.
02
Incoming WhatsApp numbers are matched to SAP Business One business partner records before any data is returned, so answers are tied to the correct account.
03
Customers get order references, dates, values, and current status without internal follow-up between customer service, sales, and operations.
04
The SAP Business One item catalogue is searched using plain product descriptions, so customers find the right item without knowing the item code.
05
Common customer, order, and product questions are handled automatically, freeing sales teams for quotations, negotiations, and relationship management.
06
Every reply is generated from SAP Business One records rather than spreadsheets or manually maintained reference documents, keeping conversations consistent.
07
Unresolved enquiries reach internal teams with customer identity, request summary, and available ERP information already gathered, cutting investigation time.
08
Growing WhatsApp enquiry volume is absorbed without adding an equivalent number of support staff as order activity increases.
