Accelerate your SAP Hybris Commerce integration projects

As of August 2016 an updated version of the SAP Hybris Commerce integration rapid-deployment solutions (formerly called SAP hybris integration with SAP Business Suite) is available.

When you plan to implement SAP Hybris Commerce, you should spend your time to design and set up your individual, compelling and competitive B2B and/or B2C web shops. The boring part, the integration to your backend systems, can be taken care of by the pre-defined integration scenarios delivered with this rapid-deployment solution (RDS). They can serve as a starting point and an accelerator for your implementation projects while you can focus on the business side.

You should know that the SAP Hybris Commerce Accelerator is a ready-to-use web framework that enables you to jumpstart your implementation and easily build and maintain a feature-rich omni-channel commerce solution, thus enabling you to set up your web shops, while on the other side the RDS supports you to configure the integration with your backend systems. For example it takes care about configurations of the initial data replication, as well as the recurring data synchronization, ensuring consistent data across channels.

The scenarios delivered with this RDS, address different target groups. The SAP ERP integration can be used if you are running an SAP ERP backend. The SAP Hybris Marketing integration handles the direct integration with SAP Hybris Commerce, in this case we expect that you run a non-SAP ERP backend. The content of this rapid-deployment solution does not support both scenarios in one system environment.

What’s new in the SAP Hybris Commerce integration rapid-deployment solution

First of all you noticed that we had to change the brand voice name of the package as it now includes integration scenarios beyond the SAP Business Suite. You can now decide whether you want to integrate to SAP ERP or to SAP Hybris Marketing.

Here is a high level overview of the integration scenarios.

High level scope of the SAP Hybris Commerce integration rapid-deployment solution V7.60

This package is now based on SAP Hybris Commerce 6.0 and can be combined with SAP ERP 6.0 EHP7 or SAP Hybris Marketing 1.2 (1605).

SAP ERP Integration

The rapid-deployment solution accelerates the integration between SAP Hybris Commerce and SAP ERP to setup an end-to-end order management process for B2C and B2B. Here are the high level process steps covered:

B2B Commerce asynchronous order management:

• Change material/product, price/discount in SAP ERP
• Send changes to SAP Hybris Commerce and bring product online
• New Create a new contact person in B2B web shop and replicate it to SAP ERP
• Show availability of products while browsing the web shop

You might miss the order management scenario for retail. Unfortunately we needed to skip this scope item for this version as the availability of the Integration Package for SAP for Retail for SAP Hybris Commerce 6.0 did not fit to our RDS build time line. However, you can still access it in the former version of the RDS, SAP hybris integration with SAP Business Suite V6.57, at the service market place, see “older versions”.
