Interface SAP to CRM 2016

Posted on by Community Member

Hi all,

we are planning to implement an Interface between SAP and CRM 2016.

In my opinion there are only two ways to Access CRM data. First is the Organization Service which required the .NET sdk assemblies and second is the CRM Web API.

Our middleware can be configured to provide XML or JSON Objects. Therefore I plan to use the Web API as the interface. But if I understand correctly the Web API is rather used for external clients to access CRM data not for a real interface.

Shall we rather provide a .NET Service that pushes data from SAP into the CRM System as using the Web API? What do you think? Which way should we access data?

Regards,

Stephan

    with the Web API in CRM 2016/CRM Online you have the same capabilities as the .net sdk assemblies (CRUD functionality) so in my opinion you can go with the Web API

    I agree with Guido, Web API is the best way.

    You can also look into Workflow Actions as they act like a web service. I always try to do as much possible with what CRM offers me before doing customized code.
