EDI directly from SAP

With integrated CS.Line EDI services, companies can exchange electronic data including orders, invoices, delivery notes and other documents with their business partners straight from their SAP systems. Mercoline provides predefined business content and IDoc formats for this purpose. In addition, we can actively link your EDI processes into the Mercoline Communications Network using SAP Netweaver PI technology. 

From SAP to SAP users

The interchange of data between the Mercoline CS.Line communications platform and your company is based on SAP standards like IDocs. Mercoline has developed special IDoc communication profiles, ensuring that companies using SAP both inside and outside of the Mercoline Communications Network are compatible. As a result, you save significant costs when implementing EDI communication processes and release your internal ERP processes from the constantly changing demands of your trading and business partners, regardless of the system in use.
