Data exchange from BCS and SAP
SAP systems are known for their flexibility – and so are we: Be it via a web service or file-based exchange of data in XML or CSV format, we implement BCS interfaces that suit your SAP system.
Interface performance
Within the scope of our workshops, we work together with you to develop just the right interface solution for smooth data exchange with your SAP system.
We use our web service or our flexible import/export module for configuring interfaces, which enables us to export, import and modify virtually all kinds of data from and to BCS.

“With the connection to the SAP system, the data for project accounting is reliable and the invoicing process has been accelerated. The interface between BCS and SAP is a best practice.”

"The services invoiced in BCS are then transferred to SAP via an interface, where they are incorporated into organization-based profit center accounting and cost unit accounting as an essential part of the sales side."

"We have various interfaces from SAP to BCS that transmit important KPIs, such as an interface for monitoring the liquidity of a project. We started developing SAP interfaces very early on, as we use SAP in many areas of the company, for example for order processing and invoicing. The most important of these is the interface for commercial data: All project-relevant information is maintained in BCS and a sales order can be generated from it in SAP at the touch of a button."
Peter Schürmann
Head of Global Project Management, msg global solutions Deutschland GmbH
"With BCS, we can map our complex organisational structure via an import from our SAP human resources management systems and thus have a low maintenance effort. The entire organisation is then available in BCS for assignments and authorisations."
Interface examples
In close cooperation with our customers, we have already implemented numerous BCS interfaces to SAP systems, for example for the following areas of application:
- Export of orders, invoice data, and time recording data from BCS
- Import and mapping of time recording data, material costs, and commitments from SAP
- Import of data from SAP's Human Resource Management
Another practical example is shown in the graphic above. Here, projects and orders are maintained in BCS. By exporting the orders and the associated project data, SAP PSP objects are created and the order values are posted to the PSP objects as planned budgets. Time recording and the posting of actual material costs are carried out in SAP and imported by BCS, enabling comprehensive evaluation.
