The enaio® erp-s connectors are OPTIMAL SYSTEMS' central product component for the integration of enaio® into SAP® ERP. You enaio®can integrate enaio®-based applications quickly and easily with them. This could include an individual record such as:

  • a rental document or real estate record

  • a customer file

  • a technical device document.

An enaio® workflow also uses enaio® erp-s connectors to interact with SAP®. At the end of a release chain, for example, either an invoice can be entered in SAP® or a service order can be triggered.

The enaio® erp-s connectors supply technical modules used to:

  • mirror the relevant data from SAP® in enaio®;

  • switch back and forth between the records in enaio® and the related SAP® transactions;

  • write the results of the processing steps to SAP®.

Communication between enaio® and SAP® is based on the following technologies that are tried and tested in the SAP environment:

  • RFC

  • HTTP

  • BAPIs.

There are four connectors that support each other for the various tasks involved in the interaction between enaio® and SAP® ERP:

  • enaio® data2ecm,

    The enaio® data2ecm connector allows you to transfer data from SAP® to enaio®. This typically involves master data for the file layout and, in many cases, vendors, customers, cost centers, purchasing organizations, and G/L accounts that are part of the enaio® application.

    The index data for the documents archived via ArchiveLink® are also frequently mirrored in enaio® to simplify the process of retrieving documents retrieval independently from SAP®.

    Data can be transferred synchronously via HTTP or asynchronously via file system export.

    There are preconfigured data procurement classes for frequently recurring business objects (such as purchase orders, incoming invoices, billing documents, etc.) that provide the specific data in SAP® for transfer via enaio® data2ecm. These business add-ons are optional extensions to the enaio® data2ecm module.

  • enaio® data2s,

    The enaio® data2s connector allows you to transfer data from enaio® to SAP®. This is done via RFC and by calling the matching BAPIs.

    Typical applications for enaio® data2s include:

    • capturing an incoming invoice;

    • linking a document registered in enaio® with an SAP® document;

    • launching a workflow in SAP® based on a document.

  • enaio® jump2ecm,

    enaio® jump2ecm allows the user to jump from SAP® to the matching record or process in enaio®. The jump to SAP® transactions is made via the 'generic object services'.

  • enaio® jump2s.

    enaio® jump2s allows the user to jump from a record or process in enaio® to the matching SAP® transaction.
