Has everyone tried to integrate SAP MM with ServiceNow Financial/Cost Management module?

[lucacaputo]

Hello,

we're discussing with one of our customer the chance to integrate ServiceNow with SAP MM, which they use to manage contracts and outgoing expenses. This is a quite frequent activity and the customer's employee could not handly manage the informations on both systems without any automation mechanism.

Has anyone tried to implement a similar integration?

Hi Luca,

Do you need a two-way integration? The REST API of SNOW is a pretty obvious choice but the other direction can be trickier. You can use some standard web services of SAP and also create your own ones (SOAP) which will use standard SAP "Function Modules" or "BAPIs" to make changes in SAP or return data from SAP.

If you need more information, please get in touch.

Cheers,

Tamás

A one way traffic from SAP to Snow is easier to manage via REST API. 

I think pulling the data directly from SAP DB is easier than pulling the data via BAPI or Function module (this will have a performance impart since all the data will be pushed to application layer of SAP).

Currently working on a project where we are pulling SAP service order into SNOW and managing the whole Asset managment in SNOW.

Can provide more info if needed

Accessing the DB under the SAP system is strictly prohibited my SAP. Violating the license terms has a huge risk. I'd highly recommend using BAPIs/Web services etc. instead.
