Customers & Contacts
From Your ERP Master
Customer master data synced live from your ERP — addresses, contacts, payment terms, segmentation. Quality records reference live customer data, not stale copies.
Service Layer, SAP HANA or SQL Server — Customers, POs, GRNs, Work Orders, Batches in the QMS
Quality doesn't exist in a vacuum. The lot you inspect was received against a purchase order from a supplier in your ERP. The complaint you investigate is from a customer with an order history. The work order you audit produced a batch that needs traceability to raw materials. Synesis QMS SAP Connect ties the eQMS directly into your ERP so quality records reference live business data — and quality decisions feed back into ERP transactions.
SAP Connect supports SAP Business One, SAP S/4HANA, Syspro and Microsoft Dynamics 365 out of the box, with a generic adapter pattern for other systems. It maps and syncs the entities that matter to quality: customers and contacts, suppliers and vendors, purchase orders and line items, goods receipts (GRNs), delivery notes, work orders, production batches and lots, and customer returns. Each ERP entity gets its own dedicated page in the QMS where you can see, search, filter, export and AI-enrich the data.
Most quality management systems treat SAP Business One as an afterthought — generic ERP connectors, middleware, or CSV exports. Synesis QMS connects to SAP B1 natively. As an SAP Gold Partner implementing Business One since 1994, Synesis built the integration against the interfaces SAP actually ships: the Service Layer REST API, the SAP HANA database and Microsoft SQL Server. Nine entity types — vendors, customers, contacts, purchase orders, goods receipts, deliveries, work orders, batches/lots and returns — import into the QMS with one click, no middleware and no third-party connector licenses. Inspections reference real goods receipts, supplier scorecards reference real purchase history and batch traceability follows the same lots your ERP tracks.
Deploy where your ERP lives. Run Synesis QMS on-premise alongside an on-premise SAP install, on Microsoft Azure next to your cloud ERP, on Amazon Web Services or on the hosted solution of your choice. SAP Connect works the same way regardless of where the QMS or the ERP run.
The connection mode is a setting, not a project. Choose it in Administration, enter the server, port and credentials for that mode, press Test Connection, and the same importers and the same QMS pages work on top of whichever path you picked. Switch modes when your SAP landscape changes — from SQL Server to HANA, or from a direct database connection to the Service Layer — without touching a quality record.
Connects to SAP's own web API (/b1s/v2, default port 50000 over HTTPS) using an SAP B1 user login. Reads Business Partners, Purchase Orders, Goods Receipt POs, Deliveries, Production Orders, Returns and Batch details through the objects SAP publishes and validates — the same path SAP recommends for every new integration, on HANA and on SQL Server, on-premise or in the SAP cloud.
Test Connection logs in to the Service Layer and reports its version.
For SAP Business One, version for SAP HANA, the QMS connects with the HANA client to a read-only database user. Fastest path for large historical imports and for reporting that joins across many B1 tables; nothing is written to SAP.
Test Connection queries the HANA system database and reports the instance.
For SAP Business One on Microsoft SQL Server, the QMS reads the company database directly through a read-only login — the right choice for on-premise installs where the QMS sits on the same network and the SAP team prefers to grant a database view rather than an API user.
Test Connection confirms the database name and SQL Server version.
From Your ERP Master
Customer master data synced live from your ERP — addresses, contacts, payment terms, segmentation. Quality records reference live customer data, not stale copies.
Two-Way Sync
Vendor master synced both ways. Approve a supplier in QMS and the approval flows back to the ERP. Block a supplier in ERP and they're blocked in QMS.
Receiving Inspection Source
PO data drives receiving inspection. Match incoming material to PO lines, capture lot and serial numbers, link inspection results to the originating PO.
Acceptance & Quality Hold
Goods receipts from ERP feed into QMS for inspection. Failed inspection puts the receipt on quality hold, and the hold flows back to ERP to prevent payment or use.
Final Inspection Trigger
Outbound deliveries from ERP trigger final inspection workflows in QMS. Pre-shipment verification becomes a checkpoint, not an afterthought.
In-Process Quality
Production orders sync from ERP to drive in-process inspection schedules. Quality records (NCR, deviation) link directly to the work order and the affected operation.
Forward and Backward Traceability
Production batches sync from ERP. Forward trace from raw material lot to finished product shipped to customer. Backward trace from a complaint to the originating raw material.
RMA & Credit
Customer returns from ERP create RMA records in QMS for inspection and disposition. Disposition feeds back to ERP to drive credit notes and replacement orders.
Parts, Vendors, SDS
Spare-parts receipts and maintenance vendors in the QMS Asset Management module reference the same SAP suppliers and purchase orders, and chemical parts carry their Safety Data Sheet.
Stop typing the same customer, supplier, or PO number twice. Quality records reference ERP data live. One source of truth.
A failed inspection in QMS puts the receipt on hold in the ERP. A blocked supplier in ERP can't be selected on a QMS record. Quality decisions are operational decisions.
From a customer complaint, trace back through the delivery, work order, batch, raw material lot, and supplier in seconds. Audit-ready in every regulated industry.
The Service Layer is the interface SAP carries forward through Business One 10 and beyond. Integrate there and an SAP upgrade or a move to HANA or the cloud is a setting change, not a rewrite.
