Create Sales Orders – Automatic Extraction (Ⅷ): Side-by-Side View of Purchase Order File and Sales Order Request
When sales order request data is incomplete, you may want to open the original purchase order file and check purchasing details. To do this, you can open a side-by-side view which displays file contents alongside the sales order request. The parallel view allows you to easily check and revise sales order request data in light of purchasing details.
Step-by-Step Guide
In the Create Sales Orders – Automatic Extraction app, open the object page of a sales order request. Choose View File.

Hi Ian, thanks for the detailed blog.
We are on OP Release 2021 SP/FPS as 02( 02/2022) . From my understanding, Create Sales Orders – Automatic Extraction app (F4920, released as of SAP S/4HANA Cloud 2011) is not available on-premise. Could you please advise which app is available on-premise Fiori to create sales orders from pdfs? (i.e. similar to app F4920. Or is there a way to activate app F4920 . )
Please advise.
Regards,
Rohan
Hi Rohan,
Create Sales Orders – Automatic Extraction app (F4920) is available for you. Please refer this blog to set up: Create Sales Orders – Automatic Extraction (II): Step-by-Step Setup Guide for SAP S/4HANA (OP/PCE) | SAP Blogs
But the side-by-side view function (introduce in this blog) is not available for your version.

Hi Ian,
Thanks for the clarification and quick response. Just thinking , without side-by-side view , process might not be efficient to correct Incomplete Sales Order Requests. User would need to find the pdf from inbox to workout what was missing information - which might a pain.
Also, just confirming, would you know if Automation 5LT ( which internally calls this app F4920 )is available for S/4 2021?
Thanks,
Rohan
Yes this app is also available for S/4 2021 but not available for side-by-side view.
