B1Nexus  /  Tools

Twelve tools. One ERP brain.

Every tool available to your AI agents, what it does, and the kind of question it answers.

B1Nexus exposes twelve tools to connected AI agents. Seven answer questions; five carry out work inside SAP Business One. Everything below becomes available the moment the server is connected and the tool is enabled in your configuration.

Read tools

These retrieve information. They are typically enabled first, because they carry no risk of changing anything in the ERP.

Query Business Partner

Customer and vendor master data — contacts, balances, credit limits, payment terms and history.

Ask: “Which customers are over their credit limit?”

Query Sales

Quotations, sales orders, deliveries and A/R invoices across any period, customer or item.

Ask: “Show me open sales orders due this week.”

Query Purchase

Purchase requests, purchase orders, goods receipts and A/P invoices by vendor or item.

Ask: “What did we buy from Axis Supply last quarter?”

Query Items

Item master data, stock by warehouse, pricing, availability and movement history.

Ask: “Which items are below their reorder level?”

Query Entire Data

One tool covering 340+ SAP Business One objects — anything the Service Layer exposes.

Ask: “List released production orders at risk of missing their due date.”

Customer 360

The whole customer in a single call: profile, ageing, open orders, recent activity and history.

Ask: “Give me the full picture on Halcyon Systems before my call.”

Item 360

The whole item in a single call: stock by warehouse, pricing, sales history and purchase history.

Ask: “Everything about item C-0071 — stock, cost, who buys it, who supplies it.”

Action tools

These create documents or record decisions in Business One. They are enabled deliberately, per implementation, and run through the Service Layer so standard validation and authorisations apply.

Create Sales Order

Turn a customer request into a sales order with the correct pricing and terms.

Ask: “Create a sales order for Nordwind Traders: 40 units of A-1042.”

Create Purchase Order

Draft and post purchase orders with vendor, items, quantities, prices and delivery dates.

Ask: “Raise a PO to Axis Supply for the three items below reorder level.”

Create Purchase Request

Raise purchase requests directly from reorder gaps or a user instruction.

Ask: “Create purchase requests for next month's production shortfall.”

Approval Decision

Act on documents waiting in Business One approval stages — approve or reject, with remarks.

Ask: “Approve the pending purchase orders under 5,000 from approved vendors.”

Create Activity

Log calls, meetings, tasks and follow-ups against any business partner or document.

Ask: “Schedule a follow-up call with Meridian Foods for Friday.”

Beyond the named tools: 340+ objects

Named tools cover the paths people walk daily. Query Entire Data covers the rest — any of the 340+ business objects the SAP Business One Service Layer exposes, from production orders and BOMs to service calls, bank transactions and user-defined objects. If Business One holds it and the Service Layer exposes it, an agent can reach it when you allow it.

Permissions and scope

  • Tools are exposed per implementation — agents cannot call what you have not enabled.
  • Read and write are independent: a read-only deployment is a normal starting point.
  • Calls execute against your own environment under credentials you control.
  • Every call is a defined operation, not improvised database access.
Starting point

Most teams begin with the read tools and Customer 360, add Approval Decision once the workflow is trusted, then open up document creation.
