Two days of PO checking turned into a ranked list of 215 exceptions
The challenge
A procurement team downloads 10,000 open PO lines from SAP every morning and checks confirmations, ASNs and delivery dates in Excel — about 16 hours of work before a single supplier is chased.
What was built
- Read-only extract of PO, confirmation, ASN and goods-receipt data
- 8 data checks and a rules engine run on every line
- Report by rule, supplier, plant and ageing, with value at risk
- Supplier follow-up drafts and an AI daily summary
Outcome
- 10,000
- lines checked per run
- 215
- exceptions — the only list worked
- 16 h → 1 h 9 m
- per cycle, from the ROI model
- ₹2.15 Cr
- pending value surfaced on exceptions
