SIX ERP holds information about orders, customers, suppliers, inventory, finance, production and service. SIX AIFlow helps teams make more use of that information by surfacing patterns, highlighting exceptions and preparing answers within the workflow.
Instead of searching through reports and records, employees can use AI assistance in the context of the process they are managing. AI can summarize information, compare results, flag unusual activity and help prepare a next step.
Identify unusual costs, delayed supplier deliveries, changing demand, stock risks or other patterns that may need attention.
See the records and factors behind a result, so a team can investigate the cause rather than rely on a number alone.
Review potential options with their expected cost, timing, benefit and risk before deciding what to do.
Use AI to draft documents, summarize activity, organize information or prepare a transaction for an authorized employee to check.
AI can process information quickly, but it does not have the full context of your business. Employees bring experience, relationships, priorities and knowledge that may not be recorded in ERP data. SIX AIFlow is designed to support that judgment, not remove it.
Before an AI-supported action is applied, the responsible person should be able to understand what the system considered, what it recommends and where uncertainty remains.
The harder an action is to reverse, the more human review it should receive.
SIX AIFlow supports different levels of assistance, from answering a question to preparing an action for approval. The level of automation should match the business risk, company policy and quality of available data.
Analyze relevant business activity to help teams notice changes in costs, demand, stock, delivery performance or process results.
Summarize unusual transactions or results and point users to the records that may help them investigate.
Use available data to highlight possible changes in demand, cash flow, supplier reliability, replenishment needs or production capacity.
Flag incomplete, conflicting or outdated data instead of presenting an uncertain result as a fact.
Prepare possible responses and show expected effects on cost, timing, service levels, inventory or capacity.
Prepare a proposal, supplier message, purchase-order draft, invoice record or other work item for an authorized employee to review.
Use approval rules to send decisions to the manager or specialist responsible for the process.
Routine, low-risk actions may be automated when the business has approved the rules, thresholds and safeguards. Higher-impact actions remain subject to the required review.
Support invoice and expense processing, payment matching, cash-flow analysis and financial exception review.
Help prepare proposals and customer communications, summarize activity and highlight follow-up opportunities.
Analyze demand, stock and supplier information to flag replenishment needs, delivery risks or unusual inventory movements.
Help teams examine material, capacity, work-order and service information, then prepare options for planners or managers to review.
An AI result is only useful when it reflects the process around it. SIX AIFlow works with connected ERP information and business rules, helping teams consider how one action may affect other departments.
A purchasing recommendation may affect stock, production, customer delivery dates and cash flow. A proposal may depend on approved prices, product details and delivery terms. SIX AIFlow can help bring those details into the review, while the relevant employee remains responsible for the decision.

What is SIX AIFlow?
SIX AIFlow is the AI capability within SIX ERP. It brings analysis, assistance and recommendations into business workflows, using relevant ERP information and rules to help employees understand activity and prepare next steps.
Does AIFlow make business decisions by itself?
AIFlow can analyze information, explain patterns, recommend options and prepare draft actions. People remain responsible for business decisions. Any automation should follow defined permissions, thresholds and approval rules.
Can AIFlow perform actions automatically?
Routine, low-risk actions may be automated when the business has defined and approved the rules. Actions with significant financial, operational, legal or customer impact, require appropriate human approval.
How does AIFlow explain its recommendations?
A recommendation shows the relevant data and factors behind it, describes its expected effect and identify uncertainty or missing information where possible. This gives the responsible employee a basis to review or challenge the suggestion.
Does AIFlow respect user permissions?
AI assistance follows the user’s role-based access rights. A user should only receive information and AI-supported actions permitted for their responsibilities.
Which business workflows can use AIFlow?
AI can support workflows across FinanceFlow, SalesFlow, CustomerFlow, PurchaseFlow, StockFlow, ManufacturingFlow and ServiceFlow. The suitable use cases depend on the process, available data, integrations and approval requirements.
How should a company start using AIFlow?
Start with a specific process and a measurable business problem. Establish a baseline, review the data and risks, define approval rules, then pilot the use case with the people who perform the work. Expand after evaluating the results and exceptions.
What happens when AIFlow finds incomplete or conflicting data?
SIX AIFlow flags the issue, explains what information is missing or inconsistent, and requests review where needed. It does not treat uncertain information as a reliable basis for a high-impact actions.
How are AI-supported actions recorded?
The workflow can retain relevant records of the data used, recommendation, review, approval, final action and exceptions. The exact audit scope should be configured to the process and your governance requirements.
