The purpose of this workflow is to automate sales reporting process by automatically retrieving new sales orders, updating google sheets with new orders, and delivering daily summaries via Telegram. Google’s Gemma AI used in this workflow to add extra insights and analyze the consolidated data in order to highlighting top performers, upcoming due dates, and extracting sales trends by removing manual data exports and providing real-time visibility of sales performance.</SPAN></P><P class="lia-align-justify" style="text-align : justify;"><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-center" image-alt="Tonekaboni_0-1760459232243.png" style="width: 999px;"><img src="https://community.sap.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/327486iF37BF4415727FA62/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999" role="button" title="Tonekaboni_0-1760459232243.png" alt="Tonekaboni_0-1760459232243.png" /></span></P><H2 id="toc-hId-1566262311"> </H2><H2 id="toc-hId-1369748806">Technical Architecture</H2><P>The workflow includes two main stages. First, it connects to the Service Layer to retrieve sales orders data with the help of OData queries, filters out duplicates orders, and appends new orders to Google Sheets. Second, it uses JavaScript code to format the data, create structured AI prompts, and deliver the finalized reports through a Telegram Bot.

Example OData query would be like this:</P><PRE>https://server:50000/b1s/v1/Orders?$select=DocEntry,DocDate,CardName&$orderby=DocEntry desc&$top=10</PRE><P class="lia-align-justify" style="text-align : justify;">A JavaScript code node also handles duplicate checking. It can grab existing rows from Google Sheets, pulls out DocEntry values, and filters SAP data to include only new sales orders. This prevent duplication when the workflow runs multiple times.</P><P class="lia-align-justify" style="text-align : justify;"><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-center" image-alt="Tonekaboni_0-1760460451651.png" style="width: 999px;"><img src="https://community.sap.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/327489i08B47D7FA58F1B32/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999" role="button" title="Tonekaboni_0-1760460451651.png" alt="Tonekaboni_0-1760460451651.png" /></span></P><P class="lia-align-justify" style="text-align : justify;">For having AI analysis, a JavaScript node formats the sales data into a prompt and calculates daily totals, identify top performers, and computes monthly averages. The prompt asks Gemma AI to generate a report with a performance summary, and alerts. Finally, the Telegram node sends the formatted report to specific user id, including the date, total sales, top performers, AI insights, and upcoming due dates.</P><P class="lia-align-justify" style="text-align : justify;"><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-center" image-alt="Tonekaboni_2-1760460686541.png" style="width: 366px;"><img src="https://community.sap.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/327491i53EB1CAE84314454/image-dimensions/366x627/is-moderation-mode/true?v=v2" width="366" height="627" role="button" title="Tonekaboni_2-1760460686541.png" alt="Tonekaboni_2-1760460686541.png" /></span></P><H2 id="toc-hId-583694786">Final Thoughts</H2><P class="lia-align-justify" style="text-align : justify;">This workflow automates sales order retrieval from SAP Business One through Service Layer and syncs new orders to Google Sheets. By using n8n, it delivers daily reports via Telegram and remove the need for manual data exports. The implementation requirements are SAP Business One Service Layer, Docker, n8n, and JavaScript to perform calculations with AI assistance. Although calculations can be done with just code, AI can help to get extra insights based on the given prompt. Beyond sales reporting, this approach can be applied to other modules such as purchasing, inventory management, or crm and making it a cost-effective alternative to enterprise automation platforms.</P><P class="lia-align-justify" style="text-align : justify;"> </P><H2 id="toc-hId-387181281">Resources </H2><P class="lia-align-justify" style="text-align : justify;">The full guide is available as a PDF with step-by-step instructions and screenshots. <SPAN>The</SPAN> JavaScript code is in GitHub with comments.</P><UL class="lia-align-justify" style="text-align : justify;"><LI><A title="SAP Business One Sales Automation" href="https://github.com/user-attachments/files/22624398/4_SAPB1_SALES_AI_n8n.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow noreferrer">Full Guide PDF</A></LI><LI><A title="GitHub Repository and Codes" href="https://github.com/atonekaboni/SBO_Sales_AI_Automation" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow noreferrer">GitHub Repository</A></LI></UL><H3 id="toc-hId-319750495"> </H3><H2 id="toc-hId--32597244" id="toc-hId--5845729">Prepared by</H2><P class="lia-align-justify" style="text-align : justify;"><STRONG>Amirhossein Tonekaboni<BR /></STRONG>SAP Business One Consultant</P><UL class="lia-list-style-type-square"><LI><A title="LinkedIn " href="https://linkedin.com/in/tonekaboni" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow noreferrer">LinkedIn</A></LI><LI><A title="Amirhossein Tonekaboni" href="https://atonekaboni.github.io/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow noreferrer">Portfolio</A></LI></UL>2025-10-24T08:29:56.631000+02:00https://community.sap.com/t5/enterprise-resource-planning-blog-posts-by-sap/add-your-own-flavor/ba-p/14249291Add your Own Flavor2025-11-02T06:13:00.879000+01:00Arihttps://community.sap.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/9037<P><SPAN>Dear SAP Business One community </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Today I want to talk about how you could leverage the list view functionality to </SPAN><SPAN>manage the user defined fields.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Let’s look at this video to learn more:</SPAN></P><P><A href="https://community.sap.com/source-Ids-list" target="1_u5osmt9e" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"> </A></P><P data-unlink="true">You can find additional information in the SAP Business One Web client <A href="https://help.sap.com/docs/SAP_BUSINESS_ONE_WEB_CLIENT/2554bf7e9aa347729b0547a737e123ac/774f020f9350483ca38a119319fb2b5a.html?locale=en-US&state=PRODUCTION&version=10.0_SP_2508" target="_self" rel="noreferrer noopener">user guide</A> and the<SPAN> </SPAN><A href="https://learning.sap.com/courses/implementing-customization-tools-and-analytics-in-sap-business-one-web-client" target="_self" rel="noreferrer noopener">Learning journey</A>.</P><P data-unlink="true">Best wishes, Ari</P>2025-11-02T06:13:00.879000+01:00https://community.sap.com/t5/enterprise-resource-planning-blog-posts-by-sap/exploring-udv-enhancements-part-2-centralized-udv-management/ba-p/14260513Exploring UDV Enhancements (Part 2): Centralized UDV Management2025-11-04T16:38:47.765000+01:00OferOzhttps://community.sap.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/11263<P>This blog is the second in a two-part articles detailing the enhancements of the User-Defined Values (UDV) feature in SAP Business One 10.0 FP 2508 (the first one focuses on <A href="https://community.sap.com/t5/enterprise-resource-planning-blog-posts-by-sap/exploring-udv-enhancements-part-1-using-apis-in-formulas/ba-p/14260492" target="_self">integrating APIs into formulas</A>).
