Link Retail Pro - SAP
LINK Retail Pro – SAP is a middleware that allows automatic, unattended and bidirectional exchange of information between Retail Pro and SAP.
When organizations handle business documents that are generated and managed in SAP and need to be sent to stores so that they can carry out their daily operations, a product catalog is a good usecase example.
There are business documents created in stores that must be sent to SAP for processing and consolidation, such as daily sales reports.
SAP can be hosted on the SAP Cloud, on a private cloud, or in a non-cloud server, where the interface will still work perfectly.
An SAP server, typically running SAP NetWeaver, acts as the core application layer for SAP ERP systems, facilitating business logic execution across ABAP or Java environments. It operates within a system instance, managing data communication, load balancing, and user processes. Modern deployments include on-premise, cloud, or hybrid options like S/4HANA.
