Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If generative AI is integrated into ERP systems without standardization, then implementation flexibility is improved, but quality consistency and data integration difficulty worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The framework segments the generative AI integration into distinct modular components: prompt templates, domain context handlers, embedding engines, and evaluation modules. Each component can be independently developed, tested, and deployed, allowing standardized quality control while maintaining implementation flexibility across different ERP systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The framework uses parameterizable prompt templates with placeholders that can be dynamically configured for different ERP systems. By changing parameters such as prompt structure, domain context, and evaluation criteria rather than rewriting entire systems, organizations achieve both standardization and adaptability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If generative AI solutions are developed using different software development methodologies, then adaptability to diverse ERP systems is improved, but complexity of lifecycle management and data integration worsens
Solution Approach 1:
The framework creates a universal platform that supports multiple software development methodologies (Agile, Waterfall, DevOps) through standardized interfaces and abstracted components. The domain context handler and evaluation module serve multiple functions across different development approaches, reducing lifecycle management complexity while maintaining adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The framework introduces standardized intermediary layers including a prompt template engine and evaluation module that mediate between different development methodologies and ERP systems. These intermediaries translate diverse development approaches into a common execution framework, simplifying lifecycle management.
3Reliability
If generative AI models are customized for specific ERP needs, then performance and quality are improved, but complexity of integration and data integration difficulty worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The framework applies local quality by allowing customization of specific components (domain context, prompt templates, evaluation criteria) while maintaining standardized core architecture. Each ERP system can be optimized with domain-specific context and prompts without affecting the overall integration framework, reducing complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The framework performs preliminary actions by pre-defining standardized integration interfaces, data mapping templates, and evaluation protocols before implementation. This preparation simplifies subsequent customization and integration work, reducing overall complexity while enabling performance optimization.

AI summary
A computer-implemented method can run an application associated with an intelligent scenario deployed on an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. The application receives input values for one or more parameters from a tenant user through a user interface of the ERP system. The method can select a prompt template defined in the intelligent scenario, generate a prompt using the prompt template by replacing the one or more parameters included in the prompt template with respective input values, prompt a large language model (LLM) specified by the intelligent scenario using the prompt, receive a response generated by the LLM, and present the response on the user interface of the ERP system.
