Anyone tried to use FMP to intergrate with SAP?

Hi,

Question - anyone tried to have a database which feeds sales data into SAP?

SAP has a rubbish program called MSA which is installed on laptops and handhelds of Sales agents - clunky old peice of crap software.

It then does something called CONTRANNSing which is to synchronise with CRM within SAP.

Anyone ever tried to create a FileMaker solution which bolts onto SAP as middleware?

Can it be done? Anyone have any idea the type of data that SAP wants to import?

I use ODBC and SQL queries to import stuff from SAP, product info, sales data and the like. To put stuff back into SAP I use inserts from FileMaker to populate custom imterim tables added to the SAP Database. Then commision an ABAP deve, to take the data from these tables and push it through the relevent transaction.

Works very well and provides a nice deliniation of responsibility.
