Overview
Sales Order Delivery Promise Agent helps automate the sales order and capable-to-promise fulfillment process. It supports accurate delivery promise dates, streamlined sales order processing, and improved fulfillment planning. The agent helps users identify whether an order is a pickup or ship scenario, perform real-time availability checks, create complete sales orders, suggest related items or alternatives, and reduce errors throughout the order entry process. It is designed for sales, customer service, store, warehouse, e-commerce, and fulfillment teams that manage customer orders, delivery commitments, warehouse selection, and order processing workflows.

How It Works
- Define the Sales Order Process: The agent identifies whether the order is for store pickup or customer shipment and captures the requested items and required order details.
- Cross-Sell Recommendations: The agent suggests related products, accessories, warranties, or alternative items to help users make informed ordering decisions.
- Create Sales Order in Dynamics 365: The agent creates the sales order in Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations based on the selected fulfillment scenario (pickup or ship) after validating the required information.
- Fulfillment Support: Once the sales order is created, standard fulfillment activities such as picking, packing, shipment, and invoicing continue through the existing Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations business processes.
