ERP Data Extractor

Business Case

Problem Statement

ERP data extraction challenges:

  • Complex database structures
  • Multiple interconnected modules
  • Data transformation needs
  • Integration with analytics

Solution

Structured extraction and transformation of construction ERP data for analytics, reporting, and cross-system integration.

Quick Start

# Initialize extractor
extractor = ERPDataExtractor("Procore")

# Define standard extractions
extractor.define_project_extraction()
extractor.define_cost_extraction()

# Simulate extraction from DataFrames
projects_df = pd.DataFrame([
    {"id": 1, "code": "PRJ-001", "name": "Office Building", "status": "Active", "budget": 5000000},
    {"id": 2, "code": "PRJ-002", "name": "Warehouse", "status": "Planning", "budget": 2000000}
])

extractor.extract_from_dataframe("projects", projects_df)

# Get summary
summary = extractor.get_extraction_summary()
print(f"Total records: {summary['total_records']}")

Common Use Cases

1. Transform Data

transformed = extractor.transform_data("cost_items", [
    {"action": "rename", "mapping": {"budgeted": "budget", "actual": "spent"}},
    {"action": "calculate", "new_column": "variance", "formula": "variance", "col1": "budget", "col2": "spent"}
])

2. Join Sources

joined = extractor.join_data("cost_items", "projects", "project_id", "id")

3. Aggregate

by_project = extractor.aggregate_data("cost_items", ["project_id"], {"budgeted": "sum", "actual": "sum"})

XLSX
by anthropics
vendor ×15

Comprehensive spreadsheet creation, editing, and analysis with support for formulas, formatting, data analysis, and visualization. When Claude needs to work with spreadsheets (.xlsx, .xlsm, .csv, .tsv, etc) for: (1) Creating new spreadsheets with formulas and formatting, (2) Reading or analyzing data, (3) Modify existing spreadsheets while preserving formulas, (4) Data analysis and visualization in spreadsheets, or (5) Recalculating formulas

XLSX
by w95
×7

Use this skill any time a spreadsheet file is the primary input or output. This means any task where the user wants to: open, read, edit, or fix an existing .xlsx, .xlsm, .csv, or .tsv file (e.g., adding columns, computing formulas, formatting, charting, cleaning messy data); create a new spreadsheet from scratch or from other data sources; or convert between tabular file formats. Trigger especially when the user references a spreadsheet file by name or path — even casually (like \"the xlsx in my downloads\") — and wants something done to it or produced from it. Also trigger for cleaning or restructuring messy tabular data files (malformed rows, misplaced headers, junk data) into proper spreadsheets. The deliverable must be a spreadsheet file. Do NOT trigger when the primary deliverable is a Word document, HTML report, standalone Python script, database pipeline, or Google Sheets API integration, even if tabular data is involved.
