FUTURA | Module SAP process integration

Only genuine process integration can help and ensure a seamless digitization of your planning, purchasing and billing processes. Common import and export interfaces will not accomplish that – their implementation is complex; they entail systemic fragmentation and consequently involve risks. And the decisive factor: they do not cover change processes which occur frequently in practice. The ready-made and standardized SAP integration modules provided by FUTURA enable a full integration of process flows into your SAP ERP-system or S/4HANA.

Standardized process integration

Depending on the process flow, FUTURA provides various standardized modules for the integration of your SAP ERP-system. You can apply these modules individually or in combination. The basis for the connection and networking with the SAP ERP-system is the service-oriented architecture (SOA) provided by the SAP NetWeaver platform. Communication takes place via webservices .
FUTURA is treating SAP as the “leading system”. Hence it must be supplied with all the required and necessary data to render a gapless chain of documents in the SAP ERP-system possible.

Unique interoperationality with SAP in real time

The creation of documents in SAP is triggered automatically by certain processes in FUTURA.
For instance, you decide to award your supplier with a contract after a price negotiation. At the touch of a button, you can trigger the purchase order in FUTURA, which is then automatically created in SAP in real time. A “green light” is indicating the status, hence the successful processing in SAP. In addition, the order number is transferred back to FUTURA.

Simple and quick implementation

The implementation of the modules for SAP-integration is simple: Rollout and set up of the integration modules are effectuated via SAP transport requests. The integration packages are assembled according to the specified process flow and are usually first implemented into your SAP development system. Following the necessary configurations for the specified process flows and a quality assurance phase, the modules and the adjustments are transferred to your consolidation resp. quality assurance system. At this stage, within the scope of a final inspection, the operational readiness of the SAP-integration is assessed and then released for your own tests.
