Overview
Connecting SAP Business One with your trading partners
SAP Business One serves small and midsize businesses that often face the same EDI requirements as large enterprises when they sell to major retailers or distributors. Business One exposes its data through the Service Layer, a REST-style interface, and the DI API, a long-standing programming interface, both of which can create sales orders and read deliveries and invoices.
ECOM connects Business One to trading partners through PRISM, translating partner documents into Business One sales orders and generating ship notices and invoices from Business One deliveries and A/R invoices. For companies with few partners, WebEDI can be a simpler starting point before full integration.
