Gira Giersiepen GmbH & Co. KG SUCCESS STORY OF A CUSTOMER PROJECT
The creation of quotations from GAEB service specifications proved to be cumbersome for Gira Giersiepen GmbH & Co. KG: description texts and specifications from the GAEB file had to be compared with the article numbers from the separate SAP system. It was checked for each individual request item which Gira article number is suitable.
By using the FIS/rdf consulting solution for quotation entry, a convenient exchange of service specifications in the GAEB format is enabled. Due to the seamless integration into the SAP ERP system, Gira is now able to import GAEB files directly into SAP transaction VA21 and process them from quotation processing or make adjustments. A matching routine for automated material recognition during the import accelerates and simplifies this process even further.

Gira Giersiepen GmbH & Co. KG
Gira Giersiepen GmbH & Co. KG was founded in 1905 and is now one of the leading medium-sized German companies in the electrical industry sector with more than 1,200 employees and subsidiaries in 38 countries. Gira produces switches and sockets as well as a wide range of electrical installation systems for communication technology, door intercoms or the automation of heating, lightning and blinds for instance. Since Gira has separated plastics technology from building technology and set it up as a separate business field, other companies, such as medical technology companies, also have their products manufactured by Gira.
Automated material recognition accelerates quotation creation FIS/rdf FOR GAEB PROCESSING
A matching routine for automated material recognition during the import accelerates and simplifies the processing of GAEB files even further: The FIS tool checks the key fields and makes suggestions to the user from a hit list of possible materials. The user simply takes the article they are looking for from the list and only assigns it manually in case of deviations. The quotation department can then send the quotation in the desired GAEB output format to the inquiring wholesaler directly from SAP ERP. “Faster and error-free creation of quotations and, as a consequence, better customer communication are the benefits of using this extremely helpful FIS tool,” says the project manager.
