Why EDI is crucial:
Electronic data interchange (EDI) is crucial for companies looking for fast transfers, cost reduction and minimised risk. Deep integration with suppliers and customers is essential for success.
Common EDI-SAP integration challenges:
- Lack of specialised in-house SAP/EDI know-how
- Time-intensive SAP setups
- Being able to cope with a diverse range of formats
- Handling customisation to SAP standards
- Maintaining smooth and successful SAP processes
Conclusion: With snap ecosio Bridge, you get a comprehensive solution that eliminates all of these challenges.
Middleware is the key to SAP EDI integration success
The implementation of EDI functions in SAP systems requires middleware that performs essential tasks, including connecting to EDI service providers, monitoring message exchange, converting external IDs and processing IDocs. However, choosing the right middleware is a challenge. SAP and third-party providers offer various solutions, such as SAP PI/PO, SAP Cloud Platform Integration and local EDI converters. However, companies that already use SAP middleware often reach their limits when it comes to integrating compatible EDI service providers.
