How Mobile Warehouse Scanner App ByDintec connects to SAP Business ByDesign
Handheld extension built with SAP Build (SAP partner listing)
The listing describes a handheld extension created with SAP Build. Details of the services it calls are not in the listing, so confirm them with Dintec during evaluation.
ByDesign communication arrangement and user
Like other external apps, expect to configure a communication system, user and arrangement, and give the user only the authorizations the scanning transactions need.
What data moves
| From | To | Data | When |

| ByDintec | ByDesign | Serial number captures against products | Serial scanned during a transaction |
| ByDintec | ByDesign | Label creation requests and internal movements | User prints a label or posts a movement |

What usually breaks
- !Continuous scanning of the wrong item or quantity can post many lines quickly, so review before submit.
- !Products without serial profiles configured in ByDesign cannot accept captured serial numbers properly.
- !Label formats that do not scan on your printers or label stock waste time at the dock.
- !Shared device logins make audit trails useless.
- !Dependence on SAP Build artifacts means upgrades should be confirmed with the vendor after ByDesign releases.
- !Unclear support boundaries between SAP, the partner and your reseller slow incident resolution.
A private AI layer across both systems
Serial number anomaly review
An assistant looks for duplicate, missing or out-of-sequence serial numbers across receipts and issues and proposes corrections for approval.
Scan session audit
Summarize large continuous-scan sessions against the expected document quantities and highlight deviations before posting.
Stock questions in plain language
Ask where a serial-numbered unit was last moved or which documents touched a product, with read-only queries and the query shown.
When something else fits better
- SnAPscan or WMS Cloud are alternative ByDesign scanning apps with different device and offline trade-offs.
- ByDesign's own screens can be enough for low transaction volumes.
- A dedicated WMS may be warranted for directed putaway and wave picking beyond scan-and-post.
Frequently asked questions
What does ByDintec cover?
The listing mentions continuous-scan warehouse transactions, serial numbers and label creation for ByDesign, delivered as a handheld extension built with SAP Build. Ask Dintec for the exact list of supported documents and devices.
Does it need an integration layer?
It is described as an extension rather than a middleware product, but it still needs a ByDesign user and communication setup. The listing is brief, so verify details such as offline support before committing.
Can we keep AI and data on-premises?
ByDesign is a cloud ERP, so the ERP itself is not on-prem. A private AI layer can run on your own infrastructure, read ByDesign through its APIs and keep model inference inside your network.
