Automated Purchase Order Processing Workflow Case Study

This case study details the automation of the purchase order processing workflow for a leading global battery manufacturer. The client faced challenges with a manual process that involved handling multi-language purchase orders and data extraction, which was labor-intensive and prone to errors. The workflow required downloading purchase order PDFs from emails, storing them, and comparing data with SAP tables in Excel, which was tedious and inefficient. XTGlobal implemented a solution using UiPath Document Understanding, incorporating AI and ML technologies to streamline the process. Key steps included automating email monitoring for new purchase orders, daily downloading of SAP tables, and a framework for data extraction from PDFs. Additionally, a human-in-the-loop approach was integrated for necessary manual input, ensuring accurate data mapping. The solution led to significant improvements in accuracy and efficiency, freeing up resources and achieving substantial annual savings. The deployment was monitored to maintain process integrity and efficiency.
