Independent Integration Type

SAP Business One has its own independent integration type. Candis does not treat it as a variant of another integration, but as a separate system with specific logic and its own rules.

Note: Certain functions and selection options are only available if SAP is actively set up.
An organization should only be connected if no master data exists yet.

Since SAP Business One is the leading system for master data, you should always create a new Candis organization before synchronizing the system for the first time.


Export Logic in SAP

Candis uses its own SAP export types, which differ from other integrations.

  • If SAP Business One (SAP B1) is configured, Candis adds these export types.

  • These additional variants only appear if SAP Business One is actively set up.

Important: SAP export types are not globally available. Candis only displays them when the SAP integration is active.


Master Data Import

The import and validation of master data from SAP only takes place after a successful connection. Once the setup is complete, the following master data is imported:

  • Vendors

  • Payment terms

  • G/L accounts

  • Tax codes

  • Cost centers (Dim 1, Dim 2 & Dim 3 from SAP B1)

  • Project codes

  • Freight and additional costs

In addition, documents for the three-way match are synchronized:

  • Purchase orders

  • Goods receipts

This master data is validated automatically – for example, empty entries cannot be synchronized. You can view details about import errors for the respective master data directly in Candis.

Synchronization takes place every night every 24 hours or via manual synchronization triggered from within Candis.
