This approach helps companies avoid expensive investments in custom ABAP interfaces.

Improve the Timeliness and Accuracy of SAP Sales Orders

The timely creation of is critical to ensuring that orders are picked, packed and shipped in a timely fashion.

Picking, packing, and shipping orders on time requires timely creation of sales orders in the SAP Sales and Distribution (SD) system. Companies with growing volumes of sales orders often find that these orders can come from a variety of sources, including:

• Email attachments
• Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) messages
• Repeat orders
• Call center databases
• Field sales personnel.

Ensuring the timeliness and accuracy of those sales orders often requires extraordinary levels of user discipline and additional checks to ensure consistency. At the ends of the month or quarter, some workers may need to work longer days to enter all sales orders into SAP before the end of the sales period. The difficult SAP user interface can also increase the chance of delivery delays or other errors.

Benefits of using Winshuttle Transaction with Excel or Access data sources to create SAP Sales Orders include:

• Consistent and simplified templates to create VA01 Sales Orders
• More efficient mass creation of SAP Sales Orders  
• Avoidance of investments in time-consuming and complex ABAP code or data manipulation routines to create data bridges between an EDI or web sales front-end and the SAP SD system.
