Prices carried over
A tier price from the template stays in and is confirmed to the customer.
An AI agent spots new parts in your customer orders, reads the drawing and prepares the item.
The item is only created once an employee approves it.
Awaiting your approval
Two of the twelve parts in an order are not yet known to your ERP. For each one, your team prints out the drawing, copies a similar item and overwrites a dozen fields. Whether you call it item creation, part creation or master data entry: the process is almost the same everywhere.

What goes wrong is often noticed too late:
A tier price from the template stays in and is confirmed to the customer.
The template has a different surface finish, so the routing and costing do not fit.
A new index goes unnoticed and the part is made to the old drawing.
The agent works by the rules your team applies for each customer.

Zero price, unknown number or new index: for each customer, the agent checks the signals your team uses today.
The agent enters the placeholder the way you keep it for this customer.
The agent prepares the query to the customer. It is only sent once approved.
The agent shows what has changed. Your team decides whether that is significant.
Your production team settles the machining allowance. Until then the field stays open and the item can still be used.
New parts stay at zero until they have been costed. The agent never takes prices from the template.
If a part has been made before, the agent reads the surface finish and dimensions from the legacy system, provided it can be connected.
Worked example
20 new parts a week at 15 minutes each add up to 5 hours of clerical work a week.
Without approval, the agent creates nothing and changes nothing. Queries to customers are also only sent after approval.

The agent uses the interface of your ERP system. You do not need your own developers.
No master data project beforehand: the agent works with your item master as it is.
Index, template, fields that stay as they are: the rules for each customer are stored with the agent, not just in one person's head.
The agent uses the interface of your ERP system. Before the start, we check whether it offers everything item creation needs, such as copying items, changing fields and linking drawings.
By the same signals your team uses today: an unknown customer part number, a zero price in the order or a new drawing index. During onboarding, we record which signals apply to which customer.
They stay with your production team. The item is created without these dimensions so that the order can go ahead, and your team adds them as soon as they are settled.
No. It takes over the looking up, copying and typing. Dimensions, doubtful cases with the template and the assessment of changed drawings stay with your team, and an employee approves every new item.
No. The agent takes its cue from your existing items for the same customer. The more consistently they are maintained, the less often your team has to correct anything.
Yes. Whether item master, material master or parts master: what is meant is the master data your ERP needs for every part. And whether you call creating it item creation, material creation, part creation or master data entry: the agent prepares exactly this master data for every new part.
We show it on a customer order and work out what it means for your company.
