What is FIS/GAEB Cloud?
FIS/GAEB Cloud is a cloud solution for the digital processing of GAEB service specifications in SAP Cloud ERP. Companies of the building materials trade sector, HVAC wholesale, electrical wholesale and the construction industry can process tenders in the GAEB format directly in SAP, automatically link them to material master data and use them to create quotations. GAEB files are imported easily and digitally via the cloud application.
The solution uses an AI-supported material assignment to automatically assign service specifications items to the suitable SAP material numbers. Users can then review, amend or adjust the suggestions and use them to directly generate SAP quotations.

In this way, you can access quotations more quickly and more easily and ensure yourself a decisive edge.
Why are GAEB service specifications important in SAP?
The GAEB format has become the standard for exchanging construction information. Public and private ordering parties often provide service specifications for construction projects in the form of GAEB files. Companies must analyze these items, identify suitable articles and create quotations.
Especially in technical wholesale, service specifications often comprise several hundreds or even thousands of items. The manual assignment of articles is time-consuming and requires comprehensive product knowledge. Here is exactly where FIS/GAEB Cloud supports the entire process from tender to final SAP quotation. The GAEB interface ensures that relevant information is adopted into the SAP system without media changes.
What challenges are associated with tenders and service specifications?
Many companies face similar challenges when processing tenders:
These challenges often result in the fact that companies can process fewer tenders or have to forego potential sales volume. A high-performance interface reduces manual effort and improves process reliability.
How does FIS/GAEB Cloud work?
The process starts with the import of a GAEB file into the cloud application. At the GAEB interface, the tender data is processed automatically and provided for further processing.
GAEB files are updated and imported automatically. The solution supports different relevant GAEB formats for digital tender processing.
After the upload, the integrated AI solution analyzes all item descriptions of the service specifications and compares them with the SAP material master data. In doing so, article descriptions, classifications and further master data are considered. The interface ensures that all relevant information is processed consistently.
The user gets suitable material proposals including similarity valuation for each SSP item. The proposals can be adopted, changed or amended.
After having made the assignment, the system automatically creates an SAP quotation from the processed service specifications. Alternatively, the tender can be exported as GAEB file again. In doing so, the data exchange between tender documents and SAP is considerably simplified.
What functions are included in FIS/GAEB Cloud?
One highlight: AI-supported processing of service specifications
A unique selling proposition of FIS/GAEB Cloud is the intelligent assignment of SSP items to SAP material master data.
