In the ERP space, AI is being used mostly for repetitive tasks, documentation and forecasting-type activities or where a non-deterministic answer might be useful. Scanning in documents and using OCR to create an order, asking what page I use to do X, historical demand modelling and constraint scheduling. Also have seen it used to do order flow type stuff like suggesting products to sell if they buy ABC. I'm not really seeing it being used to do heavy analysis and they've generally been careful not to put it in places where a hallucination could result in a bad business decision.

> Scanning in documents and using OCR to create an order,

I remember this being done more than 10 years ago.

The other uses cases you describe also were being done. Of course with AI maybe it’s become easier and cheaper?
