Things We Can Integrate?
❏ SAP is arguably one of the most powerful ERP platforms available on the market, offering a
plethora of product, customer, resource, and reporting management to its customers.
❏ Integrating Magento with SAP provides a powerful unification of your business channels,
without the stress or potential error of manual processes
❏ We can integrate SAP with 3rd party systems through below process:
❏ SOAP APIS
❏ FTP based method

4. Confidential
Things We Can Integrate?
❏ We can do many integration between Magento and SAP like:
❏ Order Processing
❏ Fulfillment Management
❏ CRM synchronization
❏ Product Management:
■ Product Upload from SAP to Magento
■ Product Price Update from SAP to Magento
■ Inventory Management

5. Confidential
Approach to Integrate Inventory Management
FTP Based Approach:
■ 2 files required for Magento <> Sap Integration:
❏ So.txt file -> Order export from Magento to SAP
❏ Atp.txt -> Inventory update from SAP to Magento
■ There will be a common FTP where both the system will exchange their files.
■ Need to create one custom module in Magento to Integrate with SAP so that we
can use it in other Magento systems also by just making some minor change.

MAGENTO TO SAP
❏ Order file will have the following format:
❏ Filename: so_<Magento_Order_Id>.txt
❏ File Format: txt (Text-flat file)
❏ Column headers: Included
❏ Column separator: Tabulation
❏ Magento will write the SO file it to its own folder var/sap/so/
❏ After the file is processed (i.e. sent to the FTP server), it will be relocated locally to
var/sap/so/archived/
❏ File will includes:
❏ 1 line for each product order
❏ 1 line for the shipping method

MAGENTO TO SAP
❏ Sample File:
❏ The SO extract will be triggered dynamically when the shipment is created for the order
(please refer to Order flow section). The file will be stored locally in Magento server (folder
to be configured in Backend ‘Local SO relative file location’), then uploaded to the FTP
server.
❏ Create below DB table :
Table : SAP_SO_FILE
❏ Fields:

❏ Fields:
❏ SAP_SO_FILE_ID
❏ SAP_SO_FILE_NAME
❏ GEN_TYPE : Automatic or Manual
❏ GEN_TIMESTAMP
❏ COMPLETION_TIMESTAMP
❏ SAP_SO_FILE_LOG : FTP error, Read/Write error or File not found error.
❏ Error During FTP connection:
❏ If the file can’t be sent to the FTP server, then the field
SAP_SO_FILE.COMPLETION_TIMESTAMP remains empty.

❏ During each script execution, it will go through the table SAP_SO_FILE and check for
unsent files:
■ GEN_TYPE: ‘A’
■ GEN_TIMESTAMP: value filled
■ COMPLETION_TIMESTAMP: value empty
❏ The script will then send these files 1 by one, and if sent successfully, will update their
SAP_SO_FILE.COMPLETION_TIMESTAMP value accordingly.
❏ Alert Email for Success or Failure to Admin.

SAP TO MAGENTO
❏ ATP file will have the following format:
❏ Filename: atp.txt
❏ File format: txt (Text - flat file)
❏ Column headers: Included
❏ Column separator: Tabulation
❏ The ATP file is generated by SAP every 30 minutes and must be uploaded in Magento
with the same schedule.
❏ When the file is successfully uploaded to Magento, it will be relocated to an archive
folder in the FTP folder and remove from its original folder from the FTP folder (refer to
admin panel section).
❏ Magento will retrieve the ATP file and upload it to its own folder var/sap/atp/ and
rename it atp_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.txt.
❏ After the file is processed, it will be relocated locally to var/sap/atp/archived/

❏ NB_PRODUCTS_PROCESSED: Integer, Nb products successfully updated in Magento
❏ COMPLETION_TIMESTAMP: Timestamp of end processing for current ATP file

uploaded in table SAP_ATP_DATA. An email will be sent to the ‘Email Alert’ configured in
Magento admin panel.
❏ If the file is processed correctly, but the number of products processed
(SAP_ATP_FILE.NB_PRODUCTS_PROCESSED) is less than the number of product uploaded
(SAP_ATP_FILE.NB_PRODUCTS) the following email will be sent to the ‘Email Alert’ configured
in Magento admin panel

❏ Process of Several Files:
❏ In case of manual amendment of the ATP file, it can be uploaded to the Magento folder
(following its naming convention), and the file will be dynamically process as soon as the script
will be executed by the cron job.
❏ Therefore, several files may be processed in a queue: The files will be processed one by one,
based on their name (oldest file first: atp_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.txt).
