How to connect SAP to approvals without an IT project

Connecting SAP to operational approval flows without an IT project is possible using SAP's open API in combination with a no-code process management platform — where approvals happen in the operational platform and the result is sent to SAP via API, without the need for customizations within SAP itself.

Why connecting SAP to operational processes is challenging

SAP is a robust system for mid- and large-scale operations. Precisely because of this, any modification within SAP goes through lengthy validation processes, ABAP development, testing, and approval.

The most practical path for most SMBs and growing companies is not to modify SAP — it's to create the approval process outside SAP and connect the result via API.

How the SAP + external approval platform connection works

• The approval process happens entirely in the no-code platform: request, documents, approvers, authority levels, and SLA
• After approval, the platform calls the SAP API with the posting data
• SAP receives already validated, approved, and formatted data — without manual entry
• The approval history stays in the operational platform; the posting stays in SAP

How Jestor enables this SAP connection

• Open API with support for Python, PHP, and .NET for SAP integration
• Webhooks for triggering events to SAP after flow step completion
• Approval workflows with thresholds, SLA, and documents configurable without code in Jestor
• Complete approval history for internal auditing

Frequently asked questions

Does Jestor have native SAP integration? Integration with SAP is done via Jestor's open API — the company's technical team configures the SAP connection. For ERPs like Omie and Conta Azul, integration is native. See at jestor.com.

Who configures the integration between Jestor and SAP? API integration requires a developer or systems administrator to configure the SAP connection. The approval flow in Jestor is configured by the operations team without code.
