## Short answer

Esker Order Management captures customer purchase orders arriving by email, fax or PDF and automatically creates sales orders in Oracle EBS. Esker describes a ready-to-use Oracle EBS integration. A private AI layer can add plain-language checks on the captured orders against EBS pricing and availability.

## Integration

**Method:** Ready-to-use Oracle EBS integration

**Detail:** Esker states it offers a ready-to-use connector for Oracle EBS. Order Management extracts header and line data from the customer document, validates it against EBS master data such as customers, items and prices, and creates the sales order. The exact interface, commonly the Order Import open interface in Order Management, should be confirmed with Esker for your release.

## Data Flows

**From:** Customer (email, fax, PDF)

**To:** Esker

**Data:** Purchase order document

**Trigger:** Document received in monitored mailbox or fax queue

**From:** Oracle EBS

**To:** Esker

**Data:** Customer, ship-to, item cross-references and pricing for validation

**Trigger:** Document extraction and validation

**From:** Esker

**To:** Oracle EBS

**Data:** Sales order header and lines

**Trigger:** Order validated or approved by customer service

**From:** Oracle EBS

**To:** Esker

**Data:** Order number and status for acknowledgment

**Trigger:** Order created in EBS

## Setup

### Inventory your order sources

**Detail:** List customers by channel (email PDF, fax, portal) and rank by volume so you start with the repeat senders.

### Align customer and item cross-references

**Detail:** Make sure customer part numbers map to EBS items through cross-references, because extraction relies on matching.

### Configure the EBS connection

**Detail:** Provide Esker a service account and the interface access it needs in Order Management, following Esker documentation for your release.

### Define validation rules

**Detail:** Set price, quantity and delivery date checks and who reviews exceptions in customer service.

### Train extraction on real documents

**Detail:** Feed a sample of real customer POs per customer layout and measure touchless rate before go-live.

### Go live per customer group

**Detail:** Switch customers over in waves and track exceptions weekly.

## Pitfalls

- Customers who change PO layouts quietly break extraction accuracy.
- Missing or wrong customer item cross-references produce orders with unmatched lines.
- Price differences between the PO and EBS price lists must have a clear rule: accept, hold or reject.
- Duplicate POs resent by email can create duplicate sales orders unless duplicate detection is on.
- Ship-to addresses on the PO that differ from EBS sites need a mapping process.

## Ai Layer

### Exception summaries for customer service

**Description:** Explain why an order is on hold: price variance, unknown item, credit hold, with the EBS records cited.

### Order vs. availability check

**Description:** Compare requested dates and quantities with EBS available-to-promise data to warn of likely misses before confirmation.

### Pattern questions

**Description:** Answer questions like which customers send the most price-mismatched POs, from read-only EBS and Esker data.

## Alternatives

- EDI with top customers removes extraction errors entirely and is often better for high volume.
- Oracle Order Management's own order entry is fine if volumes are low.
- A customer web portal may be simpler than parsing documents for new accounts.

## Faq

### Does Esker work with Oracle EBS out of the box?

**Answer:** Esker states it has a ready-to-use Oracle EBS integration. You still need to configure customers, items, pricing validation and exception routing for your own setup.

### What document types does it read?

**Answer:** Esker describes capturing purchase orders from email, fax or PDF. Quality varies with layout, so test with your actual customer documents.

### Is Esker on-prem?

**Answer:** Esker is generally delivered as a cloud service. If you require everything on your own network, confirm deployment options with Esker.
