Typical example would be when you need your ecommerce web
site be powered by ERP application with sales order execution login: inventory
item allocation and shipping to the customer. In some cases you would like
automatic invoice posting (in SAP B1 terminology adding) to General Ledger and
so automatic order execution – when your items are downloadable applications or
media files. In other cases you would start with Sales Order and entrust order
execution login, with potentially light production/manufacturing or bill of
material assembly to backend MRP – SAP BO.
- Technology. From SAP B1 connector side – it is
realized as SOAP web service. From your legacy ecommerce or other
application side you can deploy either staging SQL tables approach, or
direct SQL data pulling with transactions marking as being send for
integration to SAP Business One
- Web Service. SOAP XML web service with inbound
(from ecommerce, EDI or your business partners extranet) data stream to
create or update SAP B1 customer object and then create sales document.
Outbound XML stream reports you the success of the action and if required
gives you created object parameters
- SAP Business One SDK – this is the heart of the
connector, it logins to SAP BO company with the credentials provided
(completely validating SBO business application logic), then it initializes
new customer and sales order/invoice or updates existing business
partner/customer information
- Fields of application. Connector if this type
proved to be on demand for other ERP applications, Microsoft Dynamics GP
Great Plains for example, where it is mostly used in e-commerce and business
partner automatic ordering spheres. If can be successfully deployed for the
service business, when you need to log technician daily time logs and bill
out your customers. Very nice combination for service business is Microsoft
Dynamics CRM Service module with time logging logic against contract line
budget and then sending resolved cases time to SAP B1 in the form of sales
orders
