Configuring ERP Canvas

Install ERP Canvas to configure connections to ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems of record, as well as other ServiceNow products, such as ERP Customization Mining, Procurement for Field Service Management, and Process Mining.

ERP Canvas uses basic authentication to connect a ServiceNow instance with an instance on the system of record (such as SAP).

After you configure a connection, you can read and update the system of record with ERP Canvas using ERP models, and create remote tables and extraction tables.

Additionally, you can use ERP Customization Mining (ERP-CM) to identify legacy applications that are good candidates for replatforming, making their data immediately available on the ServiceNow AI Platform. For more information, see ERP Customization Mining (ERP-CM).

Connecting to multiple instances

The number of ERP connections you can have per ServiceNow instance depends on your license. If you have the ERP-CM license, you get one connection per instance.
