E-commerce and marketplaces
Order, stock and price synchronization; automated returns and invoicing flows.
SAP BUSINESS ONE INTEGRATIONS
SAP Business One Integrations
E-commerce orders typed into the ERP by hand, bank transactions processed one by one, shipping details copied between screens… Integration removes this repetitive work, reduces errors and speeds up your processes.
Integration areas
Banking
Automatic import of account transactions, payment matching and reconciliation.
Shipping and logistics
Sending shipment data to carriers, with tracking numbers and delivery status flowing back.
CRM and sales tools
Two-way synchronization of customer, opportunity and activity data with the ERP.
Mobile and web applications
Field, warehouse and store applications working two-way with ERP data, plus portals and customer-facing screens.
Production and shop-floor systems
Production confirmations, terminals and barcode devices, and data collected from systems on the line.
Third-party and custom software
Data exchange with industry software, portals and applications developed in-house.
e-Compliance
Connecting e-Invoice, e-Archive and e-Delivery Note processes with provider systems.
Which interfaces do we use?
We build integrations on SAP Business One's own interfaces. SAP's official documentation defines two main programming interfaces for data exchange: the DI API and the Service Layer. The DI API contains objects and methods that let developers read, write, update and remove data objects at database level. The Service Layer is described as the next-generation API, working over open protocols such as HTTP and OData.
Alongside these, the SAP Business One Integration Framework (B1if) is offered as a separate platform for building scenarios with process flows and standard adapters. Which interface we use is decided per scenario: the counterpart system's capabilities, data volume, real-time expectations and maintenance preferences are weighed together.
The practical benefit of working through the official interfaces is that developments stay more resilient across version upgrades and SAP's data integrity rules are preserved.
Flow design: the decisions that actually matter
An integration succeeds not because a connection was made but because the flow was designed properly. These points are settled in writing on every project.
Real time or scheduled?
Critical data such as orders may need to flow instantly, while price lists or end-of-day reconciliation can run on a schedule. The decision follows the business need and the load on the counterpart system.
One-way or two-way?
Update rights stay with whichever system owns the data. In two-way flows, if the conflict rule is not defined up front the data degrades on both sides.
Field mapping
Item codes, units, currencies, tax and discount fields are mapped one by one, with defaults and error behaviour defined for values that do not match.
Data validation
An incoming record passes mandatory-field, format and business-rule checks before it is written to the ERP. Transfers without validation simply move the error inside the ERP.
Error handling and retries
Failed records collect in a visible queue instead of disappearing silently. Retry counts and intervals, and which errors require human intervention, are agreed in advance.
Logging and monitoring
Every transfer is recorded, so the question of when a record moved and with what result can still be answered later.
Security
An integration is a door opened into the ERP from outside, so security is part of the setup rather than a step added afterwards. Authentication, separation of privileges and network access rules are defined from the start.
Integration users are created with least privilege: a flow has no access to any object it does not need. Credentials live in server-side configuration, never in application code.
Endpoints exposed externally get access restrictions, rate limiting and input validation, and log records never hold personal data or credentials.
Integration project steps
01
Flow design
We clarify together which data moves in which direction, how often and under which rules.
02
Development
We build the connection and implement field mappings and business rules.
03
Testing
We test with realistic scenarios and edge cases, and verify the error behavior.
04
Go-live and monitoring
A controlled go-live, delivered with logging and alerts so flows stay observable.
Frequently asked questions
Are integrations affected by SAP version upgrades?
Because we use the official interfaces (Service Layer, DI API), the impact is limited. Integrations are still part of the test scope in every upgrade; that is a standard step in our upgrade plan.
What if the other system has no ready API?
We evaluate alternatives such as file-based transfer, database views or middleware services. The method is chosen with security, traceability and maintenance cost in mind.
Can you take over an existing, running integration?
Yes. We first map the current flows and failure points and report the risks; then we take over maintenance and further development.
