It enables you to retrieve and update ERP data directly from the system of record, simplifying interaction with complex and customized legacy ERP environments. By using ERP Canvas alongside ERP Customization Mining (ERP-CM), you can scan and replace legacy custom code with digitized workflows, creating a streamlined, clean ERP core that supports innovation without requiring in-depth knowledge of the original legacy system. Show full answer Show less ## Key Features * **ERP Models:** Represent ERP system data through remote and extraction tables, allowing you to read and update ERP data efficiently. * **Integration with ServiceNow Tools:** Use ERP models in App Engine Studio, Creator Studio, and Workflow Studio to build applications and workflow automations leveraging ERP data. * **Legacy Code Replatforming:** Facilitates modernization by removing the need for database administrators and developers to create custom database views or endpoints in the legacy system, freeing resources for migration and innovation efforts. * **Supports Clean Core Strategy:** Helps maintain a clean ERP core by digitizing and replacing complex legacy customizations. ## Practical Application and Benefits Using ERP Canvas enables ServiceNow customers to accelerate ERP modernization initiatives by simplifying data access and updates in legacy ERP systems. This reduces manual effort and technical debt, promotes innovation on top of the ERP core, and improves efficiency by minimizing the need for legacy system expertise. It also supports building new ERP-based applications and workflows within the ServiceNow platform. ## Getting Started * Download ERP Canvas from the ServiceNow Store and clear your local cache to access it on your instance. * Install and configure remote tables and connections to your ERP system. * Build ERP models using the provided remote and extraction tables. * Leverage ServiceNow learning resources such as Partner Essentials and App Engine for ERP Fundamentals to deepen your understanding and skills. ERP Canvas (Enterprise Resource Planning) is a ServiceNow scoped app that enables you to retrieve and update ERP data from the system of record, such as SAP. Legacy systems of records, such as SAP, can have old, complex custom code and data that require more time and effort to move to newer versions of the system of record. Use ERP Canvas and ERP Customization Mining (ERP-CM) to scan the system of record to find and replace custom code with digitized workflows, resulting in a clean ERP core. The replatforming of legacy code enables innovation on top of the system of record without knowledge of the legacy system. Database administrators and developers are then relieved of time-consuming efforts to create database views or endpoints in the system of record, freeing them to work on other projects, such as migration. Figure 1. ERP Canvas Use ERP models as the data foundation for ERP apps. These models include ERP system data in remote tables and extraction tables, and enable you to read and update the ERP system. After you create ERP models, you can use the extracted and transformed data to build apps that access the ERP models, for example in App Engine Studio or Creator Studio, or use the ERP data in flows in Workflow Studio.
