SAP for smaller distributors, without the data entry
Business One is SAP's system for smaller companies, and it runs a lot of food distribution. ManualOut reads the order and creates the sales order in it.
SAP Business One sales order automation
SAP Business One is a separate product from the main SAP suite — SAP's system for smaller companies, and a common one in food and drink distribution. It keeps things simpler: business partners, items, warehouses and price lists, on either the SQL Server or HANA database.
ManualOut reads the order your customer sent, matches each line to your Business One item codes and units, applies that business partner's pricing, and creates the sales order — no retyping between the inbox and B1.
What syncs with SAP Business One
The detail, rather than a logo and a promise.
- Sales orders created in Business One
- Item codes and units matched to your records
- Customer-specific pricing applied
- Warehouse assignment
- The order number sent back to ManualOut
Worth knowing
- Separate from the main SAP integration — Business One is a different system.
- Works with the SQL and HANA versions.
How an order reaches SAP Business One
The same five steps, whichever system sits at the end.
- 01
The order arrives
However your customer chose to send it: email, WhatsApp, a PDF, a spreadsheet, a voice note after service. They do not have to change anything.
- 02
The AI reads it
ManualOut's AI pulls out the products, quantities and pack sizes, and matches each line to your product list. Anything it cannot match, it flags.
- 03
Your rules are checked
Price list, minimum order value, delivery charge, cutoff time, company and warehouse. Checked on every order, so it does not depend on who is on the desk.
- 04
The sales order is created
The order goes into your ERP and the ERP's order number comes back. If the ERP rejects it, you get the error and can fix and retry.
- 05
Your team handles what is left
Clean orders go through on their own. Only real decisions reach a person: a shortage, a line that would not match, an order below the minimum.
