Moving to SAP Cloud ERP is a big investment. But one piece companies almost always overlook is making sure SAP connects properly to the other tools the business depends on, like Basware for managing supplier invoices and payments. When that connection breaks, the impact is immediate. Invoices pile up. Payments fall behind. Automation stops working overnight.
The Basware Connector for SAP Cloud ERP solves this problem. It is a ready-made, SAP-certified connection that has already been built, tested, and approved. No custom development, no risk of things breaking when SAP updates.
This happens more than you think
Most SAP migrations follow the same pattern. Early shortcuts feel manageable. Then go-live arrives, workflows break, and the finance team ends up firefighting instead of running the business.
Get it right and finance teams see benefits within 3 to 6 months. Get it wrong and the business spends years fixing the mess.
SAP's direction is clear: keep the core software clean. No custom additions, no modifications that break when SAP updates. For finance teams, this means an approved, reliable way to connect Basware to SAP that keeps pace with every update. The Basware Connector for SAP Cloud ERP, is built to this standard.
Here's what happens when you get it right (and wrong)
Companies that get this right early keep invoice processing running and start seeing returns within 3 to 6 months. For those who don’t:
- Invoice processing grinds to a halt. That 50% drop isn't theoretical, it's what happens when custom integrations break during cutover.
- Compliance becomes a crisis. New invoicing regulations arrive, but the rules are buried in custom code that is hard to change quickly.
- Every SAP update causes pain. SAP releases software updates regularly. Each one risks breaking the custom-built connections. IT teams spend time testing and fixing, costs add up, and the instability continues with every new release.
