ERP Integration

No data replication – no problem

BeNeering has a unique and best-in-class architecture allowing real time data exchange with SAP ERP:

  • Purchasing operational data is displayed in BeNeering and updated in SAP ERP in real time for purchasing requisitions, orders, good receipts, invoices and approval statuses
  • In case requisition needs to be enriched with SAP ERP master or historic data, data search and compliance checks are performed in real time
  • Data exchange does not require data replication or middleware, protecting data from synchronization issues
  • BeNeering Cloud Adapter (BCA) is responsible for communication with SAP ERP. BCA is an SAP add-on, and must be installed on all SAP ECC and S/4HANA systems. BeNeering can reuse customer-specific data and processes, customized in SAP MM or SAP PM
  • BeNeering Controller for SAP BTP is an optional extension component that acts as a central management hub for procurement operations across one or multiple SAP systems.
