Learn more about the MuleSoft Accelerator for SAP

SAP is one of the most commonly used enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions today. However, SAP integration is a major challenge facing organizations looking to digitize business processes, for example the procure-to-pay process. 

Innovation has brought on new digital demands for organizations today. Consumers and employees alike are looking for connected experiences — no matter the interaction — this has put increasing pressure on organizations to meet the digital imperative. The truth is that most digital transformation efforts fail in today’s all-digital, work-from-anywhere environment. In reality, integration problems halt or derail 85% of digital transformations.

When organizations lack alignment between their SAP and non-SAP applications, like Salesforce.com, they struggle to automate and optimize their business processes. The cornerstone for an agile and efficient company is a connected, agile IT landscape —  and ERP integration is critical to achieving this.

  • Unlocking SAP ERP data: Exposing critical data, for example, Accounts, Product, pricing, from both on-premise and cloud systems like S/4HANA, ECC, and Salesforce systems.
  • Orchestrating data between SAP S/4HANA and Salesforce Sales Cloud: Retrieve, sync, move Account, Product, and Product Availability data from SAP S/4HANA or ECC to Salesforce Sales Cloud. 
  • Streamlining procure-to-pay: Seamlessly move supplier, invoice, and goods receipt data across SAP and Coupa. 

Deliver your procure-to-pay process faster

This use case allows you to create a bidirectional data sync between Coupa as the expense management system and SAP S/4HANA as the ERP system. Create workflows tailored to your specific needs by easily modifying assets within this fully integrated solution. Finally, leverage reference architecture and assets developed in close collaboration with Coupa to adopt integration best practices right from the start.
