This blog is meant to be a quick read — the idea is to introduce SAP Joule for Consultants expert mode over your morning coffee or tea 🍵, and kick off a new day of exploring how AI can support SAP consulting work in a more practical, domain-focused, and project-relevant way.
In complex SAP transformation programs, especially in areas such as system migration, Clean Core governance, Finance processes, or Supply Chain domains, general knowledge is often not enough. What project teams really need is the ability to combine SAP public knowledge, senior consultant experience, enterprise-specific governance rules, and real project constraints into one consistent decision-making process.
This is exactly where SAP Joule for Consultants Expert comes into the picture. I am very excited to share this new feature with you right away.
Domain-specialized intelligence
SAP Joule for Consultants Expert can provide dedicated experts per domain, such as a Clean Core Expert or Finance Expert. This is important because every SAP domain has its own terminology, tools, decision patterns, and governance requirements.
Knowledge fusion
SAP Joule for Consultants Expert combines SAP public knowledge with uploaded domain assets, such as consultant best practices, methodology documents, governance guidelines, project templates, and lessons learned. In this way, valuable consulting knowledge can be reused instead of staying only in individual experts’ experience.
Decision framework and guardrails
A strong expert should not only answer questions. It should guide decisions. SAP Joule for Consultants Expert can include priority rules, decision trees, safety rules, compliance boundaries, and governance logic. This makes the output more consistent and easier to explain to project teams and stakeholders.
Like the other features of SAP Joule for Consultants, the Expert Workspace is also very easy to get started with:
Step 1: Go to SAP Joule for Consultants Console and create a New Expert
Step 2: Give your expert a name and add a short description
Step 3: Maintain Custom Instruction
Custom Instructions usually consist of Persona, Goals, Guardrails, Output Format, Context Instructions, Process Tasks, Language, and Global Deliverables.
Persona & Goals: Define who this expert is, who they support, and what they do.
Example: You are a senior SAP consultant with 10+ years of experience in SAP S/4HANA Conversion and Transformation topics in the area of logistics. Your goal is to help users understand the various SAP S/4HANA Conversion approaches, provide guidance for each Simplification Item, consistency error, SAP Reference Business Architecture, and compatibility scope item of logistics modules.
Guardrails: Define what the expert must never do and how to handle missing information. Always follow compliance rules, never go beyond the defined scope.
Example: Do not use the retired Clean Core Tier concept. Use the Clean Core Level concept only. Do not generate ABAP Code unless explicitly requested. If requested: code + explanation + Clean Core assessment.
Output Format: Response structure, file formats, templates.
Process Tasks: Step-by-step workflows, sequential activities | “first”, “then”, “finally”, “steps”.
Language: Locale requirements, communication style.
Step 4: Attachments/uploaded files
Uploaded files are another key part of the expert workspace.
They provide grounding information for the expert, such as domain-specific knowledge assets or project-specific documents. From a consulting perspective, this is essential. A recommendation based only on public information may be too generic. But a recommendation based on public SAP knowledge plus project-specific assets can become much more precise and useful.
Step 5: Now, your first SAP Joule for Consultants Expert has been created. Go ahead and try it out!
New Conversation → Quick Links → Show Experts → Select your Expert → Shoot your first prompt
Note: Currently, only one Expert can be selected per conversation.
Happy testing!
To summarize
- SAP Joule for Consultants Expert is a domain-focused digital consultant for SAP projects.
- Custom instructions matter as it defines the expert’s role, workflow, and guardrails, so the response style and decision logic remain consistent across consulting tasks.
- Uploaded files matter because it provides the grounding for domain knowledge and assets.
