SAE platform interfaces for maximum compatibility

The long-term success of companies and the digital transformation depends not only on the performance of individual applications but also on the consistency of the IT system landscape.

Data should be able to be used sustainably and consistently. That is why we at SAE attach great importance to ensuring that the SAE Variant Management & CPQ Platform integrates perfectly into our customers' system architecture. The platform networks applications and enables bidirectional data exchange as standard with just a few customizing settings.

After all, a smooth and consistent system landscape is the key to success.

SAE | for consistent processes

SAE is a long-standing SAP® Silver Partner.

All SAE applications are 100% compatible with the SAP product portfolio – and work seamlessly with SAP R/3® and SAP S/4HANA®. If available, the SAE platform can be connected to several SAP systems.

Much more than just SAP® Thanks to our open architecture and flexible interfaces, we integrate seamlessly into a wide range of common ERP systems, including proALPHA, PSIpenta, Microsoft Dynamics 365 and AvERP. Of course, we also offer a standard interface for connecting other ERP systems.

SAP interface:
the smart SAE CPQ IC

The SAE CPQ IC (Interface Cockpit) controls communication and data exchange with SAP bidirectionally and 100% consistently. Whether SAP ERP or SAP S/4HANA, the interface technology developed by SAE guarantees smooth communication. This means you benefit from maximum flexibility when interacting with SAP®. The SAE CPQ IC consists of three components: the “communication layer”, which contains the interface technology, the “customizer”, which coordinates the data exchange between SAP and SAE CPQ, and the “analyzer”, which controls the function for monitoring the document system in SAP:

“Communication layer”

Exchange of data between SAE CPQ and SAP. In addition to the standard interface technologies, SAP PI/PO, SAP BTP and other ESB systems can be integrated.

“Customizer”

Clear cockpit for customizing the organizational, master and transaction data relevant for data exchange (up to product or configuration level).

“Analyzer”

Targeted monitoring of document handover including detailed logging.

Suitable for every situation

Transfer of the product configuration from SAP or reconstruction of the product configuration and the set of rules in the SAE platform

SAP LO-VC/AVC available?

Have you already created variant/product configurations in your SAP system (LO-VC/AVC)?

Transfer your existing SAP variant configurations including the complete set of rules and master data 1:1 to the SAE platform to use them worldwide in sales. Add sales-relevant data (images, videos, texts, 3D models, etc.) via drag & drop and country-specific rules via no-code functionality and make this enriched product data available to your global sales teams at the click of a mouse.

No LO-VC/AVC, but SAP in use?

You have not created any variant/product configurations in your SAP system and are looking for a 100% SAP-compatible CPQ solution?

Create new variant configurations and sets of rules easily, intuitively and graphically in the SAE Platform. Decide for yourself whether the set of rules created in SAE Platform should be transferred to SAP or whether you only want to transfer the configuration results – such as configuration valuations, (sales order) parts lists, routings, prices, items, texts, … – for an SAP quotation or order.

SAP interface – the data transfer in detail

The complete transfer logic can be set via customizing and thus enables comprehensive transparency of the connection
