Mobile App for Sap B1

[former_member612058]

Hi All,

I am working on a mobile APP for SAP B1. What the app does is, mobile users will post sales order and we have to post it into SAP.

But i am not understanding, how can we post sales order into SAP over Web or GPRS. Kindly help me with the suggestions.

Note:- Customer server is on static IP and we can access through RDP.

Regards,

Hi Shravya,

SBO offers two different techniques for this requirement. Both have to be licensed.

First is the integration framework ( B1iF ) http://scn.sap.com/community/business-one-integration-technology which basically is a server software that enables you to do all kind of interaction/integration with SBO. It is Apache Tomcat based and you use a web frontend to define/configure your scenarios.

The business logic itself is pure XML ( XSLT ). In your case you would define a Webservice which receives a XML and transforms it into SBO Sales Order structure -> add to SBO.

Imho it needs a lot of learning and/or abilities to start from scratch. For me as a developer the debuging features / problematic configurations  are too time consuming. Once you are familiar it is a powerfull tool.

The other technique is SBO DI Server ( + B1WS ). It is a soap based server software which allows you to manipulate SBO objects. It is designed for heavy duty operations and apart from some problems every now and then, it is a a reliable and fast tool. In addition you can use B1WS to offer WSDL files for DIS which you can use easily in different developing environments.

If you ask me: Get a DI Server + B1WS, create a ( secure ) Webservice to receive data from your APP. Write some lines of code to add sales order, done.
