  Supply Chain

  Field Service

• SAP Joule for Developers, ABAP AI capabilities

• Retrieval of Equipment Information in Service Management

  Joule

  Field Service

• Master Data Governance

  GenerativeGenerally available

  Turns a plain-language description of a needed master-data change into a formal change request, then writes a short summary of what changed for the approver to review, instead of a data steward filling out the request form by hand.

  Finance & Accounting

• Journal Upload

  Document AIGenerally available

  Reads an uploaded batch of journal-entry data, such as a spreadsheet from a subsidiary, and turns it into structured postings ready for review, sparing a general-ledger accountant the line-by-line keying that period-end close otherwise demands.

  Finance & Accounting

• Maintenance Order Recommendation

  GenerativeGenerally available

  Suggests the type and scope of a maintenance order based on how similar equipment issues were resolved in the past, giving a maintenance planner a starting recommendation to accept or adjust rather than a blank order to build from scratch.

  Asset Management

• Sales Order Creation

  PredictiveGenerally available

  Applies a rules-based model to incoming order data and drafts the corresponding sales order fields automatically, so an order processor works from a pre-filled record to verify rather than starting each new order from a blank screen.

• Cash Positioning Agent

  Joule

  AgentPreview
