SAP Integration

You can integrate your SAP systems with Tonkean to automate and orchestrate processes that live in SAP, whether it's accessing customer master data or leveraging invoices and contracts for your procurement process.

Your unique SAP implementation and configuration determines what integration options are available, and what's required to set up the integration. Refer to the table below for an overview of available API options and the relevant integration requirements.

SAP System

API and Connection Options

Integration Requirements and Required Effort

S/4HANA Cloud, public edition

  • SOAP

  • OData V2

  • OData V4

  • REST

Users must complete the following steps:

  • Identify and gather relevant API endpoints.

  • Configure credentials in Tonkean.

You can leverage existing native data sources for select SAP resources. For others, you can create custom actions and data sources.

S/4HANA, private cloud and on-premise

An SAP Gateway may be required. Alternatively, users can leverage IDocs.

  • SOAP

  • OData V2

  • OData V4

  • REST

  • Middleware - Depending on the deployment, middleware solutions like SAP Process Integration (PI) or SAP Cloud Platform Integration (CPI) may be available.

Users must complete the following steps:

  • Identify and gather relevant API endpoints.

  • Configure credentials in Tonkean.

  • Depending on your instance, you may need to configure an SAP Gateway or use a messaging broker (middleware service) to transfer IDoc messages.

S/4HANA Cloud private and on-prem deployments support generally the same APIs and API packages as the public edition, but with additional barriers to connection.

SAP ECC 6.0

An SAP Gateway is required.

  • Remote Function Call (RFC)

  • Business Application Programming Interfaces (BAPIs)

  • IDoc

Depending on your instance, you may need to configure an SAP Gateway or use a messaging broker (middleware service) to transfer IDoc messages.

Due to its architecture as a legacy system, SAP ECC 6.0 may require additional configuration and customization compared to S/4HANA deployments.

Supported SAP Versions

Tonkean can integrate with SAP ERP ECC 6.0 and later.
