In the standard SAP® process “Print purchase order”, transaction ME23N, considerable manual effort is often required if additional documents (e.g. contract terms, packaging specifications or design drawings) are to be attached to the purchase order. The tedious process of collecting, printing, checking and sending not only slows down business processes, but also leads to potential sources of error, such as printing errors, incorrect orders or delays in delivery.
The manual management of purchase order print jobs can also lead to inconsistencies in data quality. Companies are often faced with the challenge of ensuring the quality and compliance of their processes while at the same time wanting to increase efficiency and flexibility.
But there is a solution: automation. Automated processes allow companies to reduce errors and increase their efficiency.

Simple, secure, automatic: Print order in SAP®
Automating the printing of SAP® purchase orders has a number of advantages that go far beyond simply saving time:
Increased efficiency and time savings
Automation significantly speeds up the entire process. Orders are created and printed or dispatched in the shortest possible time without the need for manual intervention. This not only saves time, but also reduces the workload for employees.
Increasing accuracy and reducing errors
Automated systems are more reliable than manual processes. By automating the SAP® order printing process, the error rate is significantly reduced. Incorrect orders and printing errors are a thing of the past, resulting in higher process quality and reliability.
Improving compliance and security
Especially in regulated industries, such as the pharmaceutical, finance or insurance sectors, it is crucial that processes run transparently and securely. Automated solutions enable complete traceability and offer comprehensive control mechanisms that meet the requirements of compliance and security standards.
Flexibility and scalability for growing companies
An automated process is flexible and can be easily adapted to changing requirements or growing company structures. This means that even companies with complex, international IT infrastructures can efficiently manage their processes for printing orders in SAP® without having to rely on manual intervention.

This automation enables companies to increase their efficiency, reduce the error rate and meet their security and compliance requirements at the same time. Our solution can be flexibly adapted to the specific requirements of the company.
Compared to the standard SAP® process (ME23N), we offer extended functionality that is specially tailored to the needs of large companies and international groups. This means that even complex business processes can be mapped reliably and efficiently.
What you need to consider before implementing automation processes
Implementing an automated solution for printing purchase orders in SAP® requires careful planning and consideration. There are some important aspects that should be considered during implementation:
1. Analysis of your existing processes
Before implementing document output, companies should ensure that the integration into their existing IT systems runs smoothly. A thorough analysis of existing processes and the involvement of all relevant stakeholders is crucial to optimally adapt the solution and automate all steps.
2. Choosing the right architecture for your system
Our solution is available both as an on-premise and cloud solution (SaaS), allowing companies to choose the deployment option that best suits their needs and preferences.
- On-premise solutions offer the advantage that companies retain complete control over their infrastructure and can meet particularly high data security requirements. This is an ideal solution for companies that require a high degree of adaptability and control.
- The Cloud solution (SaaS) offers a more flexible and scalable alternative that is particularly suitable for companies that want rapid implementation and lower maintenance costs. This solution enables SAP® orders to be printed automatically in a cost-effective and future-proof way, without the need for extensive on-site IT resources.
Automate order printing in SAP® efficiently and securely
Automating the order printing process is a powerful solution that helps companies optimize their processes, reduce errors and increase efficiency. At the same time, security and compliance are guaranteed.
By choosing a flexible and scalable solution that is available both on-premise and as a cloud solution, companies can design their printing processes according to their individual needs. Those who introduce automation are relying on a future-proof and innovative technology that not only meets today’s requirements, but is also equipped for future challenges.
