The Sherpa Monte Carlo Event Generator is a fully equipped tool for event generation for collider experiments. Although achieving a high level of flexibility by using automated tree-level matrix element generators for the hard interaction and an automated way of combining multiple multileg matrix elements with parton showers via the CKKW method, the accuracy is essentially limited to LO+NLL. Therefore, the next step is to extent the framework for computations at NLO accuracy. While automatic generation of dipole subtraction terms is already available the last missing piece are the one-loop diagrams, which cannot be calculated automatically by any publically available tool yet. Further, the parton showers need to be attached in a consistent way, suitable also for multileg matching. In the talk a short review of the status of the framework for unweighted event generation at NLO+NLL accuracy will be given.
