Important e-mails are linked to the appropriate SAP object with one click. The integration automatically matches incoming e-mails with the corresponding SAP business partner and displays the relevant data directly in Outlook.

Users can see master and transaction data for the SAP business partner directly in Outlook. You can use the storage function to save e-mails from your inbox in SAP. Because companies don’t just want to send e-mails. There is a desire to store mails from the inbox in SAP ERP. The aim is to store correspondence with business partners centrally and transparently. This means that the responsible employees have access to it at any time. Finally, the relevant correspondence must be visible to all responsible SAP users. Cleanly documented processes make work easier. As a result, search times and thus costs are reduced. In addition, the quality of service is improving.

That’s why we added the SAP Outlook Connector to the MailCenter. This allows you to move important messages from the Inbox to the SAP ERP system. In any case, transparency significantly relieves the employees. In addition, fast access to information and service quality are important success factors today.

In many cases, you will lose valuable time in the event of inquiries from customers and suppliers. During the phone call, the search for the associated e-mails for the operation takes place. Sometimes the incoming messages are dormant in a colleague’s mailbox. As a result, these documents cannot be accessed.
But how can incoming documents be connected to the business objects in SAP? Some users realize the assignment of the e-mails to operations manually via SAP upload. However, this is cumbersome, time-consuming and error-prone. In short, this integration is easier. This is because you place e-mails from the inbox directly in the SAP system. This creates a link to the associated business objects, such as sales order or purchase order. As a result, users will find these emails directly on the SAP object. This makes operations more transparent. Search times are reduced. This makes the work easier, faster and better.
Why do employees in the service manually create messages in SAP from inbox operations? Without an add-on, the process often looks like this – after receiving the message in the inbox, you enter a message in the ERP. Then save the mail to your desktop. In a further step, you link the incoming mail to the created message. This process is cumbersome. As a result, it costs the employee time and is prone to errors.
With this SAP Outlook integration, on the other hand, you create or change SAP objects directly from the inbox. In addition, you link the Outlook mails to the created SAP object. All this works at the touch of a button in one step. This make the process simple and safe. Finally, you always have the complete documentation of mail traffic in the GOS attachment of the message. Consequently, the linking of Business Object and incoming mails ensures transparency for the user.
