Switching to SAP Business One becomes easier if you can link existing software programs with your new ERP system. Fortunately, the SAP Business One Integration Framework makes this easy.
If you are considering SAP Business One as the core of your organization, in many cases you will want to link SAP to software systems you already use.
You may be using a CRM system that you want to continue using. Or you are using a POS system that is adequate. Many companies also have a web shop that needs to be linked to SAP Business One.
One can hardly think of a software system that cannot be linked to SAP Business One.
The SAP Business One Integration Framework makes such a link easy. One can hardly imagine a software system that cannot be linked to SAP Business One.
In fact, in many cases the necessary link has already been built and can simply be purchased when implementing your new ERP system.
What does the Integration Framework do?
The Integration Framework clearly presents all linkable data from the SAP Business One database.
Logres developers can use an API - which is therefore already ready on the SAP Business One side - to link the information from the external software system to SAP. This can be done in two ways.
- If you are using SAP Business One HANA then this data can be linked in real time, using the "Next Gen Api" of SAP Business One.
- If your SAP Business One database is running on MS SQL, you can use the "classic API" to connect the databases.
Links to external locations or subsidiaries
The SAP Business One Integration Framework is also ideally suited for linking databases from different subsidiaries to each other or linking software programs of a parent company to those of subsidiaries.
The great advantage of the Integration Framework for such links is that a previously built link can be saved as a template to serve as a basis for a new link to be built. Our developers therefore do not have to start from scratch each time they build a new link, saving time and money.
New fields in SAP Business One
Sometimes there is information available in external software systems that you want to see and use in SAP Business One, but for which fields do not yet exist in the SAP Business One database.
Fortunately, these fields can be easily created so that you can create a complete link and continue to use SAP Business One as the basis for all your business operations.
Dealing with software updates
Every software system is updated from time to time. When that happens, it is important that the existing linkage remains intact and is not overwritten. Fortunately, the SAP Business One Integration Framework is set up so that updates to SAP Business One can never cause problems on the SAP Business One side.
If a link fails due to changes on the part of the external software, you will be notified of this immediately in SAP Business One.
