The problem it solves

Manually updating the daily exchange rate in SAP is a small task that's easy to forget, and a missed update can throw off pricing and accounting. You don't want to check a government website every morning just to keep your books accurate.

Who it fits

A finance or accounting team in Colombia using SAP Business One that needs the daily official exchange rate.

How it works

  1. The system runs automatically on a schedule each day
  2. It checks whether today's exchange rate is already recorded in SAP
  3. If not, it looks up the official rate from Colombia's financial regulator
  4. The rate is written directly into SAP Business One
  5. You get a Telegram message if anything goes wrong
What you get

Today's official rate already sitting in SAP

Each morning the official USD exchange rate updates directly inside SAP Business One, so every transaction you record uses today's correct number.

What you get

An automatically updated exchange rate in SAP Business One, with an alert if the update fails.

What you need

A SAP Business One account with Service Layer access and a Telegram bot.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
