SAP Business One is SAP's ERP for small and mid-sized businesses, covering finance, sales, purchasing, inventory, and production on SQL Server or SAP HANA. Companies integrate SAP B1 so that orders, customers, stock, and invoices flow automatically between the ERP and the CRM, web store, marketplace, or logistics tools their teams actually work in. AIONDATA builds these integrations using the SAP B1 Service Layer (REST/OData), the DI API, or an iPaaS connector, depending on your deployment and volume.
Ready-to-scope pairs with SAP B1 on one side.
For SAP B1 version 9.x and 10 we typically use the Service Layer, a REST/OData API that supports Business Partners, Documents, Items, and most other business objects. For older installations or edge cases not exposed via the Service Layer, we can use the DI API (COM-based) or read directly from the SAP B1 database for reporting-only flows.
Yes. The Service Layer is available on both HANA and SQL Server deployments from 9.2 onward, and the integration logic is the same. For on-premise servers we set up a secure tunnel or reverse proxy so the integration can reach the Service Layer without exposing it to the public internet.
Yes. AIONDATA can build a custom MCP server that exposes SAP B1 objects such as Business Partners, Sales Orders, and stock levels as tools, so an AI agent in Claude, ChatGPT, or your own application can query the ERP and, with approval rules, create documents. This is how we let sales and support teams ask questions of SAP B1 in plain language.
Service Layer calls consume a SAP B1 user session, so we design integrations to reuse sessions and batch operations rather than opening a login per record. We also add retry and queueing logic so a busy ERP or a scheduled backup does not cause lost orders.
