In this small article we will give you SAP BO integration example with C# code. Service Management System uses Microsoft CRM Case object to store service hours. Integration pulls Customer Number, Billable Time, Unit Price, Service Description and Item number from various MS CRM 3.0 objects, such as Activity, User Name, Account and sends them into staging table ALBATIMELOG and from there it sends these fields into SAP B1. Integration is implemented as SAP Business One SDK application – please refer to your SAP B1 reseller to help you with your specific integration challenges
This specific case proves you that you can deploy SAP Business One as back end ERP solution for Servicing company: repair and maintenance, contracts, project organization, field service, consulting, auto-repair shops, communication, telephony, utilities maintenance, etc. SAP Business One supports multicurrency, integration to SAP mySAP, SAP all-in-one, R/3, plus we know cases when SAP B1 is integrated with Microsoft ERP systems, such as Microsoft Great Plains Dynamics GP, Oracle eBusiness Suite/Financials – this is especially important for multinational companies, opening manufacturing or distribution facilities in Brazil.
This is integration table, in your case your legacy service database should be routinely exporting transaction into this staging table
This screen shows SAP Business One Sales Order, you can identify the Item – it is identical to the last record in the table above
Below is application code, you should create is as C# console application project in MS Visual Studio
using Microsoft.VisualBasic;
using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Data;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
