Connect SAP ECC-R/3 and EDI Broker

Connecting SAP ECC-R/3 and an EDI Broker could enable the automated exchange of business documents, such as purchase orders and invoices, between the company and its trading partners. This setup could help reduce manual data entry, minimize errors, and support more efficient transaction processing between internal systems and external parties.

You can build this integration on the System2System platform. We design the connection between SAP ECC-R/3 and EDI Broker around the way you work — not as an off-the-shelf connector, but to fit your systems.

Why connect SAP ECC-R/3 and EDI Broker?

A company operating both SAP ECC-R/3 and an EDI Broker could benefit from connecting these systems to enable more efficient and accurate data exchange. Without such a connection, staff may need to manually enter the same information in both systems, increasing the risk of errors and consuming valuable time. Disconnected systems can result in records diverging over time, as updates in one system are not reflected in the other, leading to inconsistencies and decisions being made based on outdated or incomplete data. If a connection were established, it could allow for the automated transfer of key business documents and transactional data. For example, purchase orders, invoices, shipping notices, and inventory updates are types of data that could move between an ERP system like SAP ECC-R/3 and an EDI Broker. This could help ensure that trading partners receive timely and accurate information, and that internal records remain synchronized. The specific data that can be exchanged would depend on what each system makes available through its API and would need to be determined for each situation.

How System2System builds an integration

Connectors

We connect to each system through the interface it offers — an API, a database, a file exchange or a webhook — and handle authentication, rate limits and retries.

Mapping

Fields rarely line up one to one. We map and transform the data so both systems receive it in the shape they expect.

Workflow

We define what triggers an exchange, in which direction data flows and which system takes precedence when the two disagree.

Monitoring

Every exchange is logged. Failures are flagged and can be replayed, so nothing disappears without anyone noticing.

What can actually be exchanged?

That depends on what SAP ECC-R/3 and EDI Broker make available through their APIs, on the licences and modules in use, and on the version each system runs. Which records are synchronised, in which direction and how often, is something we determine together before any work starts.

We are happy to look at your specific situation and tell you what is feasible — including when the answer is that it is not.
