How Corevist Commerce connects to SAP ECC
Direct SAP integration
The portal calls SAP for pricing, ATP, orders and invoices, so customers see SAP's own numbers rather than a copy. On ECC this means reliable SAP connectivity from the portal host and a dedicated technical user.
SAP BTP Integration Suite
An alternative path through SAP's integration platform, useful when you want to govern connections in one place or are moving toward S/4HANA.
What data moves
| From | To | Data | When |
|---|---|---|---|
| SAP ECC | Portal | Customer-specific contract prices and discounts | Catalog view or cart pricing |
| SAP ECC | Portal | ATP and stock availability | Product page or checkout |
| Portal | SAP ECC | Sales orders and quotes | Customer submits order |
| SAP ECC | Portal | Order status, shipments and invoices | Customer opens order history |
Setting it up
- 1Choose the integration pathDecide between direct SAP connection and BTP Integration Suite based on your security and S/4HANA plans.
- 2Create the technical userProvision a dedicated SAP user with the minimum authorizations for pricing, ATP, order create and display.
- 3Map customers to portal accountsLink SAP sold-to, ship-to and payer partners to portal users and roles.
- 4Align sales area and pricingConfirm sales organization, distribution channel and pricing procedure so the portal price matches VA01.
- 5Load catalog and contentSync material master and add portal content such as images and datasheets.
- 6Test order round tripPlace orders with partial availability, blocked customers and special ship-to addresses.
- 7Load testCheck how real-time SAP calls behave during peak ordering hours before go-live.
What usually breaks
- !Real-time pricing calls add load to SAP at peak hours if not sized and monitored.
- !Customers with multiple ship-to partners or hierarchies show wrong prices when partner functions are mapped poorly.
- !Orders that fail SAP credit or incompletion checks appear accepted in the portal but stuck in SAP.
- !Material and unit of measure conversions confuse portal quantities versus SAP sales units.
- !Technical user authorization gaps appear only for rare order types.
- !Customer-facing exposure of internal statuses or prices needs a deliberate filter.
A private AI layer across both systems
Stuck order triage
A private assistant checks portal orders against SAP incompletion logs and credit blocks and explains each stuck order, drafting the fix for a CSR to approve.

When something else fits better
- EDI or punchout may serve large customers better than a portal.
- SAP's own commerce products are an option if you already license them.
- A simple order status page with no ordering is enough when the main need is fewer status calls.
Frequently asked questions
Does the portal copy SAP data?
Per the vendor it reads pricing, availability and order data from SAP so customers see live numbers. How much is cached is a configuration detail to confirm with Corevist for your volume.
What does the 49 integration points figure mean?
It comes from a directory listing that cites 49 SAP-certified integration points. Treat it as a vendor claim and ask Corevist which of those points your use cases actually need.
Can it run through BTP?
Yes, the vendor lists SAP BTP Integration Suite as an alternative to direct integration, which helps if you plan an S/4HANA move.
