SAP is one of the main world-class ERP world class. The companies where this software is implemented often find that it does not cover all of the company’s functionalities. This is either because the company has specific features in its business that are not considered in SAP, or because the company would rather preserve its legacy system to solve it.
This relates to several scenarios that may be solved with GeneXus, including:
- Companies that already have GeneXus development and will implement SAP but want to preserve some GeneXus module.
- Companies that have SAP its implementation did not include some business processes which are later to be automated (with the arrival of Smart Devices to the corporate world, this category could include developments for integrating mobility to business processes).
- SAP implementations where it is defined that some modules are not to be included in the SAP scope and will be developed separately during the implementation process.
Applications developed with GeneXus are integrated with SAP, interacting with their Business Objects through the BAPIs defined and maintained in the SAP Business Objects Repository (BOR).
The BAPIs can be published as Web Services in SAP, then you can use them in GeneXus: Invoking a BAPI as a Web Service
Another option is invoking the BAPIs in a native way, using the RFC (Remote Function Call) protocoll with the GeneXus ERP Connector (a SAP Certified Solution)
