Exceptions go to your team
Orders captured from any inbox, validated against your ERP and entered without rekeying, with exceptions routed to a human before anything ships wrong.
Customers still send orders the way they always have, emailed PDFs, spreadsheets, portal entries and scanned forms. Service reps rekey each one into the ERP, and every manual touch adds delay and the chance of a wrong SKU, price or quantity. Kanerika builds and runs an AI sales order processing agent on your own infrastructure that turns inbound orders into clean ERP entries in minutes, without replacing the sales order processing system you already run.
How the AI Sales Order Processing Agent Works
Deployed on Your Stack
Kanerika deploys the agent on your Azure, AWS, GCP or on-premise environment, connected directly to your ERP and order channels.
Governed and Secure by Design
Kanerika operates under SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified processes. Every order the agent touches is logged end to end.
Works in the Inbox Your Orders Already Hit
The agent watches shared order inboxes and portals, so customers change nothing about how they send orders.
Order Data Stays in Your Tenant
Customer, pricing and order data remain in your environment and never train an external model.
Exceptions Go to a Human
Orders that fail validation route to your order desk with the problem identified, never silently into the ERP.
Every Order Traces Back to Its Source
Each ERP entry links to the original email, PDF or portal submission, so disputes are settled by evidence.
Sales Order Processing Automation From Inbox to ERP
Order Capture From Any Format
Reads emailed PDFs, Excel attachments, scanned forms and portal entries, and extracts line items, quantities, dates and delivery terms.
SKU and Pricing Validation
Matches customer part numbers to your SKUs and checks prices against contracts and current lists before anything is entered.
Credit and Inventory Checks
Verifies the account's credit position and stock availability, flagging orders that need a hold or a promise-date conversation.
Duplicate and Change Order Handling
Catches resent orders before they ship twice and applies amendments and cancellations to the right open order.
ERP Order Creation
Creates the sales order in your ERP with your validation rules applied, whether you run SAP, Dynamics, NetSuite or another system.
Confirmations and Status Replies
Sends order acknowledgments back to the customer and answers routine status questions without a rep in the loop.

FAQs
An AI sales order processing agent reads inbound customer orders from email, PDF, spreadsheet and portal formats, validates them against your ERP master data and creates the sales order automatically. Kanerika builds and runs the agent on your infrastructure, with exceptions routed to your order desk and every entry traced to its source.
Emailed PDF purchase orders, Excel and CSV attachments, scanned paper forms, web portal entries and free-text email orders. The agent is tuned on your actual order history during setup, so the formats your largest customers use are the ones it handles best from day one. New formats are added as they appear.
It sits alongside. Sales order processing in ERP stays where it is: your ERP remains the system of record, and the agent feeds it cleaner orders faster. It writes through governed integrations to SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, NetSuite and comparable systems, applying the same validation rules your reps follow. Nothing about your ERP configuration, licensing or processes needs to change.
The agent routes it to your order desk with the issue identified, an unmatched part number, a price that disagrees with the contract, a credit hold, a duplicate. Your team resolves the exception and the agent completes the entry. Problem orders become a managed queue instead of surprises found at invoicing.
FLIP EDI Integration handles structured electronic orders from EDI-enabled trading partners. This agent handles everything that arrives outside EDI, the emailed PDFs, spreadsheets and portal orders that smaller customers send. Most order desks need both, and Kanerika deploys them together so every order channel lands in the ERP the same way.
In your environment. Kanerika deploys the agent on your Azure, AWS, GCP or on-premise infrastructure, and your customer, pricing and order data never train an external model. Kanerika operates under SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified processes, and every agent action is logged for audit and dispute resolution.
A few weeks from kickoff to a live pilot in most environments. Kanerika connects your order channels and ERP, loads part mappings and price lists, then calibrates the agent on historical orders. One queue goes live with full human review, and rollout extends across customers and regions as accuracy is proven.
Kanerika has published case studies in adjacent operations rather than sales order entry itself, AI across production and supply chain, and demand forecasting for supply chain planning. Both are linked on this page. The order agent applies the same extraction and validation patterns Kanerika runs in production document automation today.
They read orders in the formats customers actually send, emailed PDFs, spreadsheets, scanned forms and portal entries, instead of forcing a new channel. They validate SKUs, prices, credit and stock before entry, catch duplicates and change orders, and route exceptions to a person rather than pushing errors into the ERP. Kanerika’s agent adds source tracing, so every ERP entry links back to the original email, PDF or portal submission.
