3PL Integration FAQ

Everything you need to know about connecting your 3PL partners directly to SAP without EDI middleware or IDoc bottlenecks.

How does CGR SAP Connector replace traditional EDI or IDoc setups for 3PLs?

Instead of translating data through legacy EDI networks or processing slow IDoc queues, CGR SAP Connector converts standard SAP objects directly into lightweight REST APIs. Your 3PL partners interact with SAP in real time using native BAPIs, Function Modules, tables, and custom logic, eliminating data transformation delays and middleware costs.

Can we expose custom ABAP logic and custom tables to our 3PL partners?

Yes. Beyond standard SAP logistics objects like Deliveries, Shipments, and Handling Units (HUs), CGR SAP Connector allows you to securely publish custom tables, Z-fields, custom ABAP logic, and reports as REST endpoints without requiring third-party staging databases.

How quickly can a new 3PL partner be onboarded?

Because CGR SAP Connector operates natively inside your SAP and uses standard REST API standards, onboarding a new 3PL partner typically takes days instead of months. Partners can connect directly to your SAP endpoints using standard web protocols without setting up complex EDI mapping profiles.
