"Can your product configurator also control our ERP system?" we are often asked. Yes, that's possible.
The integration of the ERP system is important to automate the business process. This creates freedom of action for the sales department, even if the customer sets this himself.
Truly integrated into your application landscape
For many companies, the ERP software is the "leading" IT system for managing business processes such as goods management, accounting and control. Naturally, we integrate our product configurator into your system landscape. This of course also applies to the ERP system SAP.
The goal is always to automate the processes. If the data flows are fully digitized, this will provide the desired benefits, such as:
The configurator works on a rule-based basis, i.e. it always retrieves the required data from the systems involved at the right time. It also generates rule-based documents for follow-up processes or for communication with customers.
ERP interfaces are available for many programs; we develop customer-specific in-house. During runtime, thanks to our CPQ and CPQE software, you receive exactly the data, images, texts and calculation rules that are needed for the smooth execution of your business processes. Both for online configurators and for local configurators, such as those used in engineering. This gives your company flexibility and freedom of action.
To enable technical integration and exchange of business data between SAP components and between SAP and non-SAP components, SAP has developed the Business Framework. Business Application Programming Interfaces (BAPIs) are an important part of this framework.
They represent the visible interfaces at the component boundaries - and ensure the integration of the components. This works both within a local network and via the internet. The product module (internally called SAPLINK) uses these mechanisms for secure, bi-directional access to SAP using RFC-enabled BAPIs.
