Visma eAccounting’s \"Get an Article\" capability gives businesses programmatic access to the canonical product record stored in the accounting system so every team sees the same truth.\n \u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e\n For operations leaders, sales managers, and finance teams this is a building block for greater accuracy, faster execution, and tighter integrations across commerce, inventory, and reporting systems. When combined with AI integration and workflow automation, the value grows from a single look-up to continuous, intelligent business processes that reduce risk and speed decisions.\n \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003ch2\u003eHow It Works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e\n In plain business terms, the \"Get an Article\" feature lets applications and automations ask your accounting system for the full, authoritative profile on one product or service. Instead of manually searching spreadsheets or waiting for someone in the back office to confirm details, an app can request the product record and receive the current facts immediately.\n \u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e\n The typical product profile includes an identifier (SKU or article number), name and description, list price, cost, stock level and units, VAT or tax classification, dimensions or weight when relevant, and any custom attributes your business keeps. Those attributes are what downstream systems—e-commerce platforms, point-of-sale systems, inventory apps, or quoting tools—need to present consistent information to customers, partners, and internal teams.\n \u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e\n Practically, teams use this capability to remove duplicated data maintenance and to ensure the single source of truth sits in the accounting system. When an order is placed, an invoice is issued, or a replenishment decision is made, every system references the same article record so finance and operations remain aligned.\n \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003ch2\u003eThe Power of AI \u0026amp; Agentic Automation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e\n Retrieving an article is valuable on its own, but the real leverage comes when AI agents and automation orchestrate repeatable tasks around that data.

That combination—technical integration, mindful automation, and human enablement—ensures organizations get operational value without surprises.\n \u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e\n Finally, we help establish governance and observability: dashboards that show sync status, anomaly alerts when product data diverges, and logs that make actions traceable for audit and continuous improvement.
