What is B1iF B1if is an integration tool delivered with SAP Business One. The tool is based in the SAP Integration platform B1iP, that was developed some years ago using Java. B1iP supplies the integration blocks used by all of the integration products, including B1iSN and B1iF. Functional Perspective From the business stand point, B1if takes business objects from one system, transforms them and creates or modifies object in another system. System is not necessarily SAP system, it could be any system such as ecommerce web site, shipping carrier, or legacy system within the organization. Business Object could be almost anything the business deals with. For example – an invoice, a journal entry, Credit Card transaction, or even an email. That provides solutions for integration with high flexibility. Typical scenarios are: • Connecting SAP B1 and SAP R/3 • Inter-company transactions • Web Integration • Mobile solutions • Equipment integration Technical Perspective As noted earlier, B1if uses services from B1ip in order to perform the integration tasks. The transformation between all the various components of b1if tool is done via xml messages and being transformed using xslt. Messages are delivered in queues between Input-Process-Output point (ipo) and the various systems. After the message is retrieved from the sender system, it is going through one or more transformations as defined by the developer, and finally delivered to the target system. In order to deliver the xml message to the specific external system, B1if provides a set of adapters that communicates with the specific technology. What We Can Do.
