SAP integration

Use Camunda's SAP integration to bring SAP functionality into your orchestrated processes and connect with SAP BTP services.

This integration provides modular components that can be used independently or together to automate business-critical scenarios across SAP and non-SAP systems.

Purpose

The SAP integration enables you to:

• Extend end-to-end process orchestration into SAP S/4HANA and ECC systems.
• Execute SAP-specific functions (such as BAPIs, RFCs, and OData calls) directly within BPMN workflows.
• Surface Camunda Tasklist items directly in SAP Fiori through SAP Task Center integration, improving visibility and collaboration for business users.
• Enable event-driven automation with SAP Advanced Event Mesh (upcoming), allowing real-time responsiveness and better integration with SAP event streams.
• Provide IT and business teams with a certified, enterprise-grade solution for SAP automation.

info

The Camunda SAP integration is SAP Certified, ensuring compliance with SAP's standards for compatibility, security, and performance. This certification provides added assurance for enterprise deployments.

Audience

This documentation is intended for:

• Developers who implement process models that call SAP functions, services, or APIs.
• Solution architects who design system landscapes and need to understand integration options.
• Administrators who deploy and configure SAP integration modules in SAP BTP or hybrid environments.

Scope of documentation

This section of the documentation covers:

• Prerequisites for running the integration.
• Integration modules: What each SAP module does and how they fit into Camunda workflows.
• Setup guidance: How to configure and deploy integration modules using the CSAP CLI.
• Module-specific documentation:
  • SAP OData outbound connector
  • SAP RFC outbound connector
  • SAP BTP plugin

About the integration

Camunda's SAP integration consists of several modules that can be used independently:

Module	What it does
SAP OData outbound connector	Interact with an SAP S/4HANA or ECC system via OData v2 + v4 APIs directly from your BPMN model.
SAP RFC outbound connector	Query Business Application Programming Interfaces (BAPIs) and remote-enabled function modules (RFCs) on SAP ECC systems.
SAP BTP plugin	- Use Tasklist's forms in the Fiori UI. - Start BPMN process instances via inbound proxy endpoints.

These features run within your SAP BTP instance, requiring no proprietary Camunda setup and leveraging existing infrastructure with minimal prerequisites.
