Problem Statement
The current standard Fiori application used by the sales team for entering sales orders lacks several critical features necessary for enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of the sales process. These limitations include:
  1. Lack of timely notification of service personnel within the sales team upon the creation of the latest sales order.
  2. Absence of comprehensive tracking capabilities to monitor the entire lifecycle of sales orders from initiation to fulfillment.
  3. Failure to accurately calculate service costs based on vendor, order type, and other relevant factors.
  4. Lack of integration of branch office and vendor-level stock information to ensure optimal order confirmation decisions.
  5. Inability to automate the generation of essential documents such as quotations, sales orders, and service orders to streamline workflows and minimize manual efforts.
