These negative effects can be mitigated by a bot for the automated mass creation of solution orders.

- Lower error rate
You have now the following possibilities:
- The bot monitors various input channels, e.g., mail box or folder on file system for incoming excel files
- Extracts the raw data from the excel files
- Builds solution order structures, including header attributes, items and item attributes
- Calls the Solution Order API of SAP S/4HANA Cloud, public edition to automatically create multiple solution orders based on the extracted information
- After processing is done, the bot sends an email notification with the log file.
