SAP Business One integration with Zoho is finally here to bridge the gap between your core ERP data and the applications your team uses every day. Zoho Flow introduced support for SAP S/4HANA and SAP HANA, but after listening to significant user demand, the platform has officially launched SAP Business One integration capabilities. This release allows growing businesses to build complex, automated workflows that connect their financial and operational core with the rest of their tech stack—all without the need for custom code.

Why You Need SAP Business One integration with Zoho
For many modern enterprises, SAP Business One (B1) serves as the “source of truth” for critical data, including customer profiles, order history, inventory levels, and financial records. However, most daily operations happen in siloed applications outside the ERP. Sales teams live in CRMs, support agents work in helpdesks, and operations teams coordinate via messaging apps.
Without a proper SAP Business One integration, your staff is forced to move data manually. This leads to delayed responses, human error, and a reliance on outdated spreadsheets to keep the business running. By automating these connections, you remove friction and significantly speed up your operations.
1. Automate Sales Order Creation
One of the most immediate benefits of this integration is the automation of the sales cycle. For instance, when a deal is marked as “Closed-Won” in a CRM like HubSpot, a SAP Business One integration can automatically generate a corresponding sales order in SAP B1. This ensures that customer and item details are transferred instantly and accurately, allowing the finance team to begin processing without delay.
2. Streamline Customer Onboarding
First impressions matter. You can now start onboarding workflows in Zoho CRM or Zoho Desk the moment a new business partner is created or updated within SAP B1. This keeps your account managers informed and ensures that new clients receive the attention they need immediately after a contract is signed.
3. Coordinate Procurement and Inventory
Internal communication is often the first thing to suffer in a busy warehouse environment. With Zoho Flow, you can notify procurement or finance teams via Slack or email the moment a purchase invoice or goods receipt is generated in SAP B1. This real-time visibility helps teams stay ahead of stock shortages and payment deadlines.
4. Provide ERP Context for Support Teams
When a customer raises a support ticket, agents often waste time hunting for invoice numbers or delivery statuses. A SAP Business One integration allows your helpdesk to automatically retrieve return, delivery, or invoice details directly from SAP B1. This gives agents a complete 360-degree view of the customer, leading to faster resolutions and higher satisfaction.
5. Secure Data with the On-Prem Agent
A common concern with ERP-grade integrations is security, especially for businesses running on-premise setups. Zoho Flow addresses this through its On-Prem Agent, which acts as a secure gateway between your local system and the cloud. This ensures your data remains protected behind your firewall while still allowing for seamless automation.
6. Full Visibility via Audit Trails
Managing an SAP Business One integration requires high-level oversight. Zoho Flow provides complete control through its History and Audit Trail features. Users can track every interaction between their integrated systems, ensuring that every automation is performing as expected and providing a clear record for compliance purposes.
7. Scalable Access for Every Business
The power of SAP B1 automation is no longer reserved for large enterprises with massive IT budgets. This integration is now available to users on the Zoho Flow Professional plan, as well as those using Zoho Flow through Zoho One or Zoho Creator 6. If you are already using SAP B1, you can begin building these workflows immediately to bring your ERP data closer to your daily tools.
