Your First Question — Make It Count
The more context you provide in your first message, the more precise the answer. Include the ERP system, module, version, and the exact issue — avoid general phrases like "it's not working."
Example of an effective first question
"In SAP S/4HANA 2023 (on-premise), I am trying to run a payment proposal in transaction F110. The proposal runs successfully, but when I execute the payment, I receive a message 'No payment documents were generated.' The vendor invoice is open and overdue. What should I check?"

How to Ask Questions That Get Expert Answers
Prompt quality directly determines response quality
The Six Elements of a Strong Prompt
- ERP system and version — "SAP S/4HANA 2022 cloud"
- Module or functional area — "SAP FI-GL (General Ledger)"
- Transaction or screen — "T-code: FB01"
- Exact error message or code — copy verbatim
- What you were doing — the steps taken before the issue occurred
- What outcome you need — "I need to post the document" or "I need to identify root cause"
Request Specific Output Formats
- "Provide this as a numbered step-by-step guide"
- "Present this in a comparison table"
- "Give me the T-codes I need for this process"
- "Summarize the root cause in 2 sentences, then provide detailed steps"
❌ Too vague — produces a generic response
"SAP payroll is not working."
✅ Well-structured — produces a precise, actionable answer
"In SAP ECC 6.0 HCM, when I run payroll simulation (T-code: PC00_M99_CALC) for pay period 01/2026, the log shows error WT 1010 — 'Wage type not permitted for cost center 1000.' The employee has a valid cost center assignment in IT0001. What is the likely cause and how do I resolve it?"
Follow Up Without Repeating Context
After receiving an answer, ask follow-up questions naturally: "What if the cost center is correct but the issue persists?" or "Can you show me where to check this in SPRO?" — the AI retains the full conversation context.

- Describe what changed recently — a new configuration, a role change, or a period opening
- Specify your user role and authorizations if access-related
- Mention whether the issue is user-specific or system-wide
- Use the Live Screen feature to show the AI the exact error screen — eliminates interpretation gaps
Fastest Path for Live Issues

Using Voice Mode Effectively
Hands-free consultation while working inside your ERP system
When to Use Voice Mode
- When both hands are occupied navigating the ERP interface
- For rapid-fire troubleshooting without switching focus to type
- During training sessions — spoken Q&A is more natural than typed
- On mobile — speaking is significantly faster than typing on a small screen
- For reviewing reports aloud while asking for interpretation
Optimal Voice Setup
- Use a quiet environment or a headset with noise cancellation
- Speak at a natural pace — the AI recognizes conversational speech accurately
- Technical terms (T-codes, module names, error codes) are well recognized
- For Speech-to-Speech: use Chrome or Edge on desktop for best audio quality

Using Live Screen Analysis
Show the AI exactly what you are seeing — eliminate ambiguity entirely
Ideal for
Real-Time Error Resolution
Instead of typing a description of an error, share your screen and let the AI see the exact error, field values, and system state. This eliminates misinterpretation and produces the most accurate guidance possible.
1
Open Your ERP on Screen
Navigate to the screen, error, or area you need help with — make sure the relevant content is visible
2
Click Screen 🖥️ in EOH
Browser prompts for screen-sharing permission — select your ERP window specifically
3
Ask Your Question
Type or speak: "What is causing this error?" — the AI analyzes a screenshot of your screen automatically
4
Act on the Guidance
Follow the AI's specific, screen-aware instructions — then ask again if needed
Effective Screen Analysis Questions
- "What is this error message telling me and how do I fix it?"
- "Why is this field greyed out and how do I enable it?"
- "I am on this screen — what is the correct next step for this process?"
- "This report shows unexpected results — what might cause this?"
- "Explain what each section of this screen does"
- "Is this configuration correct for a 3-way matching scenario?"
Best Results Tip
Ensure the full error message or relevant screen area is completely visible before asking. Zooming into the specific area of interest produces the most accurate analysis.

Generating Professional Documents
Export AI consultations as client-ready deliverables in seconds
How to Generate a Document
After completing a detailed consultation, instruct the AI to create a document in natural language:
"Create a Word document with the following structure: Executive Summary (2 paragraphs), Issue Description, Root Cause Analysis (bullet points), Step-by-Step Resolution Guide, and Preventive Measures."
"Export this conversation as a PowerPoint presentation with 8 slides for a client training session. Include a title slide and a summary slide at the end."
"Create an Excel file with the T-codes discussed in this session organized by module, with a description column for each."
Document Use Cases
- Error resolution guides — Documented troubleshooting steps for recurring issues
- Client deliverables — Professional consulting reports ready for delivery
- Training materials — End-user guides and step-by-step procedure documents
- Configuration documentation — System setup and configuration records
- Process maps — Business process documentation for sign-off
- Test scripts — Unit and integration testing checklists
Quality Tip
The more detailed your conversation before exporting, the higher the document quality. A 10-message in-depth consultation produces a significantly better document than a 2-message summary.
