SAP integration

Connect SAP orders through to dispatch.

SAP orders should reach fulfilment without being entered again. PROWERB agrees messages, references and feedback with your IT team and connects them to stock, orders and shipping.

An SAP order through the process

  1. 1

    Order from SAP

    Products, quantities, recipients and the purchase order reference arrive in the agreed format.

  2. 2

    Validate and process

    The interface validates the handover. Operations processes the executable order.

  3. 3

    Return dispatch information

    Agreed delivery and document data is linked to the original purchase order.

Example workflow. Data scope, approvals and technical requirements are agreed with your team.

Platforms and their role

The platforms shown belong to the described workflow. We agree the exact scope, required access and responsibilities for your setup.

  • SAP

    ERP order and operational execution

Process structured orders while retaining their references.

A SAP integration requires clear mappings for item identifiers, order lines and delivery addresses, plus the updates needed by procurement and accounting. With your IT team, we establish which messages your setup provides and whether a converter or middleware is used. Partial quantities, changes and missing information form part of the shared acceptance tests.

Example · Data handoff

The purchase reference travels with every response.

A company orders campaign materials through its SAP landscape. Transfer products, destination and commercial reference into fulfilment. Later quantity and shipping messages must resolve to the same business transaction. The message route depends on the existing landscape.

  1. 1

    Agree references

    Define order, line, product and destination unambiguously. Reconcile required customer and organisational identifiers before testing.

  2. 2

    Trace quantities

    Test acceptance, partial quantities and deviations with representative orders. Commercial and physical views must agree.

  3. 3

    Document acceptance

    Have participating teams confirm both directions and error handling. A connectivity check alone is insufficient.

How it works

How a SAP order becomes a shipment with us.

Six building blocks, all from live operations — the path follows your SAP, not us.

01Messages from SAPIDoc (incl. ORDERS, ORDCHG) or EDIFACT ORDERS — we receive both. Your system sets the format.
02Converter & mappingTranslation IDoc/EDIFACT ↔ PROWERB CORE via Anveo and Ecosio: field mapping, mandatory fields and partner agreements specified once, then in continuous operation.
03Target system PROWERB COREOwn ERP and WMS with a process engine — where the SAP order becomes picking, packing and dispatch.
04Feedback into SAPDispatch advice (DESADV) and invoice (INVOIC) run back automatically; stock and order status via IDoc or REST depending on setup.
05Master-data syncArticles, prices, customers from SAP; creation, change and deactivation via standardized notification processes.
06Monitoring →Receipt, processing and response for the agreed messages are monitored. Missing required data goes to the business owner; converter or transmission failures are handled with the responsible system partner. A shared reference connects investigation and resumption.
Onboarding

How we bring your integration into operation.

These steps describe the integration project. In larger fulfillment takeovers it is part of the seven-phase introduction; around 14 weeks is a planning guide for that overall scope. An individual integration is scheduled according to its data, counterpart and acceptance tests.

  1. 01

    01 · Assessment

    Which SAP (ECC or S/4HANA), which modules, which trading partners, which messages — we map the real system landscape.

  2. 02

    02 · Specification & mapping

    Field mapping for ORDERS, DESADV and INVOIC, clarification of IDoc types or EDIFACT formats and mandatory fields.

  3. 03

    03 · Build & test

    Setup of converters or endpoints, test messages against your system, sign-off against real transactions.

  4. 04

    04 · Go-live

    Controlled first load, parallel operation until stable — no big bang without a way back.

  5. 05

    05 · Operation

    We run the interface in continuous operation: monitoring, exception handling, changes. One contact, not a ticket call center.

Own stack

Who owns data, approvals and enquiries.

PROWERB manages the agreed handoff into its operations. Your IT team or system partner owns changes in the source system. Before launch, we agree who handles each type of error and approves a corrected transmission.

01Business clarificationA missing item mapping, incomplete address or different quantity goes to the named data owner. Operational approval follows clarification.
02Technical handlingAvailability, processing and responses are monitored within the agreed scope. PROWERB and your system partner investigate using the same transaction reference.
03Correction and resumptionBefore repeating a transfer, the processed state is checked. The operating agreement assigns correction, retransmission and confirmation of completion.
Evidence

An international industrial group hands over orders from its ERP — we run them in continuous operation.

System integration has two faces with us: the digitalization project for the mid-market and continuous operation for the enterprise. EDIFACT connections to global industrial groups — exactly the messages SAP systems emit — we build and operate; for an international automotive manufacturer, the B2B dealer portal runs across several country markets.

FAQ

What IT leads and buyers want to know before the SAP connection.

Our SAP is on-premise — does that work?

Yes. Whether SAP ECC on-premise or S/4HANA Cloud: exchange via IDoc or EDIFACT is system-agnostic. The path follows your setup.

Which message types do you support?

In the order process ORDERS and ORDCHG inbound, DESADV (dispatch advice) and INVOIC (invoice) back. Further messages as needed.

Do we need a SAP-certified module in our system?

Whether additional components or changes are required depends on your SAP landscape and existing interfaces. Established converters such as Anveo or Ecosio can be included in the design. Configuration, permissions and any necessary changes within SAP are agreed with your IT team or SAP partner.

Who operates the interface after go-live?

Ongoing support is agreed as part of the integration. This includes ownership of processing, error handling and message changes. A contact on your side is identified for cases that require a decision within your SAP system.
