SAP S/4HANA
ERPConnect AI agents to SAP S/4HANA through its OData v2 API services. Agents read business partners, sales orders, products, and purchase orders, create sales orders with automatic CSRF token handling, and run arbitrary OData queries against any exposed API service.
What This Integration Enables
The ERP is where the company's commercial reality lives, and in most organizations it is also where automation stops, because touching SAP feels like surgery. The honest architecture is not to avoid the ERP but to structure how agents reach it: reads flow freely, writes pass through review. FlowRunner agents read business partners, sales orders, products, and purchase orders through S/4HANA's standard OData v2 API services, create sales orders with CSRF handling done for them, and reach any other exposed API service through a generic, read-only OData query. - Sync customers, suppliers, and contacts from the business partner master to CRMs, sheets, and warehouses - Answer order-status questions by reading sales orders and their line items directly - Raise sales orders in SAP from leads, forms, and upstream order events, behind approval - Pull material master and purchase order data for reporting and reconciliation - Query deliveries, stock, journal entries, and any other exposed entity set without waiting for a dedicated action This is a gated, licensed system, and the connector respects that: the [human-in-the-loop](/concepts/human-in-the-loop) step in front of every write is not a formality, it is how AI agents earn a place next to an ERP.

Use Case Scenarios
Closed-won to SalesOrder number
A deal closes in [Salesforce](/integrations/salesforce). The agent resolves the account with Get Business Partner, validates line items against List Products, and stages the order for the order desk. On approval, Create Sales Order posts the deep insert with line items through to_Item, and the returned SalesOrder number writes back to the deal while [Slack](/integrations/slack) notifies fulfillment. The order entered SAP exactly once, typed by no one.
Order status without the GUI tour
The account team asks about orders in their channel. The agent runs Get Sales Order with to_Item expanded, translates the OData response into a plain-language summary, sold-to, net amount, line status, and posts it back. A scheduled sweep with List Sales Orders filtered on open status feeds the same summaries to [Google Sheets](/integrations/google-sheets) for the daily operations review, so the question is usually answered before it is asked.
The reconciliation that reads SAP directly
Nightly, List Business Partners pages through the partner master with OData filters and field selection, syncing changes to the CRM. List Purchase Orders filtered by supplier feeds the procurement dashboard. When finance needs delivery or stock data that has no dedicated action, Run OData Query reaches API_OUTBOUND_DELIVERY_SRV or API_MATERIAL_STOCK_SRV with full control of filter, select, and expand, reads only, by design. Reports reconcile against the ERP itself instead of last week's export of it.
Human-in-Loop Highlight
Create Sales Order does not write a row, it starts a machine. The moment an order posts, S/4HANA assigns a document number and the downstream chain begins: availability checks, delivery scheduling, warehouse tasks, and eventually an invoice with the customer's name on it. There is no quiet undo; unwinding a bad order means formal rejection steps and a paper trail that outlives the mistake. So the agent on this page assembles but never posts alone. It stages: "Order for sold-to 1000482 Meridian Foods, order type OR, sales org 1010, 3 lines totaling 48,200 EUR net. Line 2 quantity is 4x this customer's usual volume. Post?" The order desk catches the fat-fingered quantity that the CRM deal carried, corrects it, approves, and only then does the CSRF-tokened POST create the document. The same posture is why Run OData Query is read-only: an escape hatch into every exposed entity of an ERP is precisely where unreviewed writes must be impossible, not just discouraged.
Agent Capabilities
8 actionsBusiness Partners
2- List Business Partners Lists customers, suppliers, and contacts from the API_BUSINESS_PARTNER service with OData filtering, field selection, ordering, and pagination. The sync source for partner master data.
- Get Business Partner Retrieves a single partner by BusinessPartner key, optionally expanding related entities such as to_BusinessPartnerAddress or to_Customer. The resolution step before any order references a party.
Sales Orders
3- List Sales Orders Lists sales orders from API_SALES_ORDER_SRV with full OData query options, returning fields such as SalesOrder, SoldToParty, and TotalNetAmount. The sweep behind status dashboards.
- Get Sales Order Retrieves one sales order by key, expanding to_Item for line and schedule detail or to_Partner for parties. The read behind every order-status answer.
- Create Sales Order Creates a sales order, fetching the required X-CSRF-Token automatically before posting header fields and line items via deep insert. Returns the assigned SalesOrder number. Posts only after this page's human approval.
Products
1- List Products Lists material master records from API_PRODUCT_SRV with OData query options, returning Product, ProductType, BaseUnit, and ProductGroup. The validation step for order line items.
Purchase Orders
1- List Purchase Orders Lists purchase orders from API_PURCHASEORDER_PROCESS_SRV with OData query options, returning PurchaseOrder, Supplier, and PurchasingOrganization. The feed for procurement reporting and reconciliation.
OData
1- Run OData Query Read-only escape hatch against any exposed OData v2 API service and entity set, with full control of filter, select, top, skip, orderby, and expand. The path to deliveries, stock, journal entries, and everything else the dedicated actions do not cover.
