S/4 HANA integration with Office 365

SAP S/4 HANA Integration with Ofiice 365 using Cloud Integration Platform (CPI)

The integration of Outlook 365 with S/4 HANA (on Premise) using SAP Cloud Connector and CPI opens up a world of opportunities. By seamlessly connecting these powerful platforms, businesses can streamline their operations and enhance productivity. With the help of SAP Cloud Connector and CPI, organizations can unlock new levels of efficiency and collaboration, enabling them to thrive in today’s digital landscape. Embracing this integration is a step towards a brighter future, where technology empowers businesses to achieve their goals with ease. Let the power of integration propel your organization forward!

The purpose of this document is to outline the seamless integration of O365 with an on-premise S/4 HANA system using the SAP Cloud Connector (SCC) and the SAP Cloud Platform Integration (CPI) on SAP’s Business Transformation Platform (BTP). This solution offers a streamlined process for connecting and exchanging data between these systems.

Here is an overview of the solution:

• Step 1: Register the SAP Cloud Connector (SCC) on your associated account in the SAP Cloud Platform. This will ensure secure communication between your cloud and on-premise systems.
• Step 2: Deploy the integration flow (iflow) in the SAP Cloud Platform Integration. This iflow will establish a connection to your O365 mailbox and forward emails to your SAP system through a virtual service.
• Step 3: Set up your O365 account to allow access to emails from any device using IMAP Secure protocol. This ensures flexibility and convenience in accessing your emails.
• Step 4: Configure the SMTP service on your SAP S/4H server, using a specific port to enable incoming email reception. These emails will then be ingested by your SAP applications, specifically VIM, for further processing.

Prerequisites:
Before proceeding with development tasks, it is important to define a new system in the sub-accounts of the cloud connector for connecting CPI to S/4.

Additionally, certain roles are crucial for development tasks:

• AuthGroup.Administrator
• AuthGroup.IntegrationDeveloper

Make sure that the assigned user has these roles.

To kickstart development, create a package in your CPI system which will house all relevant components related to this integration effort.

Create an artifact under the package.
