## Short answer

Cleo Integration Cloud provides two-way EDI integration for 850 purchase orders, 856 ASNs and 810 invoices between trading partners and SAP, including an order-to-cash accelerator. It uses a prebuilt SAP application connector with IDocs (ORDERS05, DESADV, INVOIC) and S/4HANA APIs, and is listed for S/4HANA, S/4HANA Cloud and ECC.

## Integration

**Method:** Prebuilt SAP connector with IDocs

**Detail:** Inbound 850 orders map to the ORDERS05 IDoc to create sales orders. Outbound 856 ASNs are generated from DESADV and 810 invoices from INVOIC. This works on ECC and on S/4HANA.

**Method:** S/4HANA APIs

**Detail:** On S/4HANA, the connector can also use SAP APIs rather than IDocs for some scenarios. Which method fits depends on release, volume and your SAP team's preference.

## Data Flows

**From:** Trading partner

**To:** SAP (ORDERS05)

**Data:** 850 purchase orders become sales orders

**Trigger:** EDI file or message received

**From:** SAP (DESADV)

**To:** Trading partner

**Data:** 856 advance ship notices

**Trigger:** Outbound delivery goods issue

**From:** SAP (INVOIC)

**To:** Trading partner

**Data:** 810 invoices

**Trigger:** Billing document release

**From:** Cleo

**To:** Trading partner

**Data:** 997 functional acknowledgments

**Trigger:** Document received

## Setup

### Collect each partner's implementation guide

**Detail:** Retail and automotive partners differ in segments, qualifiers and timing. The guide is the contract.

### Configure SAP partner profiles and ports

**Detail:** Create IDoc partner profiles, ports and message types for ORDERS05, DESADV and INVOIC, or enable the APIs.

### Set customer and material cross-references

**Detail:** Map partner item numbers and ship-to codes to SAP customers, materials and partner functions.

### Build the maps in Cleo

**Detail:** Start from the order-to-cash accelerator and adjust to each partner's rules.

### Test with partner sandboxes

**Detail:** Exchange test documents, resolve rejections, and get partner sign-off.

### Monitor after go-live

**Detail:** Watch IDoc status (WE02), the Cleo dashboard and acknowledgments daily at first.

## Pitfalls

- Missing customer or material cross-reference leaving the IDoc in error with no sales order.
- ASN sent before the delivery is final or packed, causing partner chargebacks.
- Unit of measure mismatch between partner and SAP.
- Duplicate 850s creating duplicate sales orders without a duplicate check on PO number.
- IDoc processing stuck on locked objects or missing authorizations.

## Ai Layer

### EDI exception triage

**Description:** A private assistant reads failed IDocs and Cleo errors, explains the cause such as an unmapped ship-to, and drafts the master data fix for approval.

### Order-to-ASN reconciliation

**Description:** Compare received 850s, sales orders, deliveries and sent 856s and 810s to find missing documents before partners complain.

### Plain-language partner questions

**Description:** Ask which orders from a partner are open or rejected this week, answered from SAP and EDI logs on your infrastructure.

## Alternatives

- SAP Integration Suite or SAP's EDI options, if you already license them and have skills.
- Another EDI service or VAN with SAP adapters, if partner-managed mapping suits you better.
- Direct API or portal integration for a single partner with low volume.

## Faq

### Which EDI documents does the Cleo SAP connector cover?

**Answer:** Cleo describes two-way integration for 850 orders, 856 ASNs and 810 invoices, using IDocs ORDERS05, DESADV and INVOIC, plus an order-to-cash accelerator. Other documents, such as 860 changes, may need extra mapping, so confirm scope.

### Does it work with ECC and S/4HANA on-prem?

**Answer:** Cleo lists SAP S/4HANA, S/4HANA Cloud and ECC. The IDoc pattern is long established on ECC and S/4HANA on-premise. Check the connector requirements for your release and where the integration runtime will sit.

### How can AI reduce EDI errors?

**Answer:** A private assistant on your servers can read IDoc errors, master data and partner rules to explain failures and draft fixes. A person approves any master data change, so the assistant never writes to SAP unattended.
