Process flow
This sequence outlines the process flow when you run the solution:
- Emails with delivery notes in attachments are received in a specified email account folder.
- In RPA, these key values are extracted from the certificate using Optical Character Recognition in IDP:
- Supplier ID
- Supplier name
- Supplier address
- Supplier phone number
- Delivery note number
- Purchase order number
- Order line
- Order line suffix
- Item number supplier
- Item number M3
- Item description
- Shipment data
- Expected receiving data
- Delivery quantity
- Package number
- SSCC and other shipment information
- The extracted values are compared to information in M3 to confirm that the supplier details, purchase order details, and order lines are matched with the relevant item and order details.
See Required M3 tables.
Note: If RPA cannot verify the accuracy of the order, order line, or confirmed data, a notification is sent to a specified user, and the RPA job is flagged for manual review. - The delivery note document is uploaded to IDM with the appropriate attributes for the supplier and purchase order number.
- RPA uses the PPS001MI-AdviseLine API to update each order line with the delivery note number and the shipped quantity per package in M3.
