Query ERP Data with TatvaAI
Updated 8/31/20262 min read

TatvaAI's most powerful feature is its conversational "Ask Anything" interface. There's no form to fill out or filter to select — a user simply types a question in plain language, and TatvaAI returns an answer, a chart, and the underlying data table together.
How the Ask Anything Interface Works
When a user opens TatvaAI chat, they're greeted with suggested starter questions organized by topic:
- Sales Orders — "How many open sales orders are there per plant?"
- Customers — "Show me the top 10 customers by total order value"
- Revenue Trend — "Show monthly sales revenue trend for this fiscal year compared to last year"
- Receivables — "Show AR aging — open receivables by bucket (0-30, 31-60, 61-90, 90+)"
These starter questions help new users understand what kinds of questions TatvaAI can answer.
Asking Your Own Custom Question
Users can type directly into the field — guided by a placeholder such as "Ask about revenue, customers, operations..." A few practical examples:
- "Show quality rejection rate by material this month"
- "Vendor quality performance — rejection rate by vendor"
- "List the batches that failed quality inspection"
- "Top materials by quality rejections this fiscal year"
TatvaAI instantly maps these questions to the relevant module (such as Quality or Production) and returns the data.
Category-Wise Example Questions
TatvaAI also provides an "example questions" panel organized by module — Sales, Finance, Materials, Controlling, Production, Quality, Fraud/Audit, Risk, Recommend, Doc Flow, Profile/360. Each category lists specific example questions, so users know exactly what can be asked in that domain.
This approach makes onboarding much easier for new users — they don't have to guess what the system can answer; the suggestions teach them directly.
Data Preview and "View Data" Option
When TatvaAI returns an answer, a small data preview (such as "24 rows") is also shown, so users can immediately inspect the underlying raw data — not just the summary. This transparency is valuable for business users who want to verify numbers themselves.
The Follow-Up Question Flow
After every response, TatvaAI shows "You might also ask" suggestions, letting the conversation flow naturally — for example, after viewing a revenue trend, a suggested follow-up might be "Which customers contributed most to revenue growth?"
