ERP integration
SAP Business One, governed. The shop floor, finally visible.
SAP Business One brings structure and control to manufacturing businesses. SmartShopFloor respects that structure while giving operators simple tablet tools, so production orders in SAP move with the work instead of behind it.
Process-driven manufacturers who want SAP production orders to keep pace with the floor.
Is it a fit?
For businesses where control matters as much as speed
- Production orders in SAP are closed off days after the work is done.
- Operators find SAP screens too heavy for the shop floor.
- Auditors and finance want confidence that recorded actuals are accurate.
Stays in SAP Business One
- Financial postings and controls
- Production orders and BOMs
- Users and approvals
SmartShopFloor adds
- Scheduling and sequencing
- Operator-friendly execution
- Material picking and progress
How it works
The SAP Business One workflow, step by step
- Step 1
Quote in SAP
Draft quotes start in SAP Business One and can be sent from SAP or SmartShopFloor.
- Step 2
Handover to production
A won sale becomes a scheduled job with its materials and labour, ready for the floor.
- Step 3
Keep orders in step
Stage progress, timesheets, picking and consumed material keep the SAP production order current.
- Step 4
Draft invoice on dispatch
Full dispatch prepares a draft invoice in SAP for your team's review and approval.
Scope for SAP Business One. SAP Business One environments are often extended by a partner. We work within your existing controls and agree any additional customisation before it is built.
Why manufacturers connect SAP Business One
Your controls stay in place
SAP remains the place for approvals and financial postings.
Simpler for operators
The floor uses tablets designed for the job, not ERP screens.
Fewer manual corrections
Actuals are captured as work happens rather than keyed in later.
Implementation & support
Nothing goes live until you approve it.
Connecting SAP Business One is a managed project, not a switch. We agree the scope, including any additional ERP customisation needed for your sales-to-production handover, then prove it with your own jobs before switching over.

FAQs
SAP Business One integration questions
Will SmartShopFloor bypass our SAP approval processes?
No. Your controls stay in SAP. Invoices, for example, are prepared as drafts and approved by people in SAP.
Do operators need SAP licences?
Operators work in SmartShopFloor on tablets. Your SAP licensing is confirmed with your SAP partner during scoping.
Can production order status in SAP follow the floor?
Yes, stage progress is used to keep the production order aligned. The exact stages are agreed during scoping.
Does our SAP partner need to be involved?
Where your environment has partner-built extensions, involving them is usually sensible. We agree responsibilities up front.
How is go-live controlled?
UAT is prepared, tested and verified with your team. Go-live happens only after your authorised people approve it.
