About this integration

Plumbed connects SAP Business Network with ERP, order, supplier and catalog processes so smaller and mid-sized suppliers can automate the collaboration requirements of larger enterprise customers.

SAP Business Network exposes APIs for supplier-oriented workflows such as purchase orders, ship notices, planning collaboration, supplier information and network catalogs, depending on the customer's licensed products and entitlements.

Plumbed provides the mapping, orchestration and monitoring layer between SAP Business Network and the supplier's existing operational systems.
