MRP Exception Processor
Compares stock against safety and max levels and flags expedite, halt, or obsolescence with the action proposed.

- S/4HANA MM, PP, IBP

- Stock-outs, planner hours
What moves, where, and when.
Planners, buyers, and warehouse leads work in a constant exception loop. MRP throws thousands of messages a week and the same 20% of them matter. Joule agents read the planning run, the supplier signal, the warehouse exception, and the freight feed in one pass and rank the day's actual decisions.
SAP validated our first 20 Joule agents in early 2026. The library keeps growing. Below are the agents that land in supply chain, plus concepts our agent factory can build next. See the full catalog
What each agent does on its own
Compares stock against safety and max levels and flags expedite, halt, or obsolescence with the action proposed.
Triages open maintenance notifications and drafts work orders with full history context.
Helps techs plan their day with open work orders by priority and spare parts on the van.
Investigates inbound deliveries, traces discrepancies to the PO, and proposes accept, reject, partial, or hold.
Investigates outbound deliveries and traces exceptions to the originating sales order.
The EWM execution layer for warehouse orders, tasks, handling units, and exception codes.
Converts released PRs into POs grouped by supplier, with terms and Incoterms applied.
Detects overdue POs, groups by supplier, and surfaces reliability signals across categories.
Single entry point for supplier investigation across S/4HANA master, procurement, credit, and risk.
Reads open deliveries, carrier cutoffs, dock capacity, and labor on the floor and reprioritizes the wave when an exception lands.
Scores every SKU on movement, age, demand signal, and expiry, then proposes a markdown, transfer, or write-off path.
Reads the open shipment, required arrival, and current carrier health and proposes the mode and carrier with cost-to-serve shown.
Compares the IBP statistical forecast to actual POS or shipment signal weekly, names the SKUs and DCs where bias is breaking the threshold.
Pulls material movement, supplier emissions, freight modes, and energy use and drafts the disclosure section.
