    About this task

    By default, the base system includes one ERP source named SAP ECC and SAP S4 HANA, which refers to the parent connection for SAP ECC and SAP S4 HANA. If there are multiple SAP ECC and SAP S4 HANA instances, multiple ERP sources must be configured, and the child connections for these SAP ECC and SAP S4 HANA instances should be referenced.

    Each ERP instance requires a unique ERP source configuration. Therefore, 10 ERP instances need 10 configurations.

    Procedure

    1. Navigate to All > Finance – ERP Integration > ERP Source Configuration.
    2. In the ERP Configurations view, select one of the following ERP source configuration based on your requirement:
      • SAP ECC ERP
      • SAP S4 HANA Cloud
      • SAP S4 HANA OData

      This configuration is available as a part of the base system.

    3. To edit the ERP source, select here.
    4. Select the required ERP source for the SAP ECC or SAP S4 HANA using the search option.
    5. To create a new ERP source, perform the following steps:
      1. Select New.
      2. On the form, fill the fields.
