SAP EDI Integration


SAP EDI Integration

Automate Data Exchange and Streamline Your Supply Chain Inside SAP

Connecting EDI directly to SAP allows your organization to automate high-volume transactions, eliminate manual data entry, and ensure total accuracy across every step of the order-to-cash process. Our solution integrates seamlessly with SAP ECC or SAP S/4HANA, giving you a single, centralized platform for all EDI activity.



Why Integrate EDI With SAP?

Deep, Native Integration

Our EDI solution connects through SAP’s standard IDoc framework, APIs, or file-based interfaces—ensuring clean, reliable communication between your trading partners and your SAP system.

Automated Order-to-Cash Workflows

Automate the creation, processing, and transmission of key documents like purchase orders, order confirmations, ASNs, invoices, and more.

Fewer Errors & Faster Processing

By replacing manual entry with automated data exchange, you improve accuracy, reduce delays, and avoid costly chargebacks or compliance issues.

Real-Time Status Tracking

Monitor your EDI documents throughout their lifecycle—sent, received, posted, or pending—right from your SAP environment.

Built to Scale

Whether you’re handling a handful of trading partners or hundreds, our solution grows with your business and supports expanding order volumes.
