eMaint CMMS integrates with SAP, a leading Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software.
SAP integration connects maintenance & reliability to purchasing, inventory, and finance – simplifying purchase orders, reqs, and parts inventory management. Workflows can move purchases from your CMMS software to your ERP and visa versa, making sure records are identical to protect data quality.
eMaint’s CMMS integration with SAP gives maintenance, reliability, and operations (MRO) teams the power to:
- Be confident in high data quality, avoiding data entry errors and duplicates, thanks to workflows that automatically verify your data
- Save time with helpful workflows that send MRO reqs and POs directly to SAP and sync your data across software
- Eliminate dueling spare parts inventory records that lead to confusion and costly mistakes
- Fast-track work charges that can severely impact maintenance programs hit by labor shortages
- Ensure critical spare parts arrive on time to minimize costly downtime
What is SAP?
SAP, or Systems, Applications & Products in Data Processing, is a popular ERP software and business management platform.
Industrial businesses utilize SAP for a broad range of applications, from resource planning to inventory and business analytics. For maintenance and reliability teams, SAP plays a key role in purchasing spare parts, labor charges, and tracking inventory. But for most companies, maintenance software and SAP are siloed and disconnected – leading to slow parts purchasing, freezes on labor charges, and dueling inventory records.
Downtime can cost businesses as much as $100,000 per hour, meaning a single slow critical spare or inventory error can be disastrous.
That’s where eMaint’s SAP integration comes in – a bridge between maintenance and finance that streamlines purchases and defends data quality.
Why eMaint Leads the Industry in ERP Integration
eMaint’s experts have decades of experience in connecting maintenance software to key business systems like ERPs.
Our team is experienced in both establishing API connections and joining eMaint and SAP through our low-code iPaaS option.
Most CMMS and EAM software only offer limited software integrations, but eMaint is flexible, connecting you to ERP platforms from SAP to Oracle NetSuite and Sage Intacct.
eMaint is also part of a connected reliability framework. Your sensors, tools, assets, and software combine in a cloud-based ecosystem – a competitive advantage that maximizes efficiency, boosts uptime, and drives production.
eMaint + SAP Integration Capabilities
Our team tailors ERP integrations to meet your needs. You can build requisitions or purchase orders, send them to SAP, and bounce back inventory updates to your CMMS. eMaint’s SAP integration is flexible: begin with a req in eMaint and end with a PO in SAP, or start your req in SAP and sync with a PO later in eMaint.
Here’s what eMaint can do when connected to your SAP system.
Purchase the parts you need from a single platform
Build purchase orders for spare parts and send them to SAP, where a corresponding PO is automatically generated, spare parts are ordered, and a receipt is sent back to eMaint to update inventory status. Customize the process to save you time and ensure maintenance and financial records are complete and synchronized.
Speed up the requisition process
Create reqs, send them through the approval process, and evolve them into purchase orders that can be easily sent to SAP. Or, send reqs straight to SAP, where a purchase order can be created and receipt data sent back to eMaint.
Solve dueling inventory records with automatic updates
Automatically generate new item records in SAP when a new inventory record is created in eMaint. Update inventory counts in eMaint when parts are received in SAP.
Work orders: streamline parts, labor, and other charges
Drive work orders forward with workflows that send labor and spare parts charges to SAP for approval and fulfillment.
