Znuny & SAP CRM Integration Extension – Sync Business Partners, Contacts and Employees

Summary: The Znuny & SAP CRM Integration Extension connects your help desk with SAP CRM (classic SAP CRM 7.0 on SAP NetWeaver) and modern SAP Customer Experience (formerly SAP Hybris / SAP C/4HANA). It synchronizes Business Partners, Contacts, and Employees, ensuring customer and organizational data flows seamlessly between support and enterprise systems.

Why This Integration Matters

SAP CRM is often the central system of record for customers and business relationships. Without integration, service agents must manually duplicate data, causing errors and slowing down collaboration. The Znuny–SAP CRM Integration ensures tickets, customers, and business partners stay connected across both platforms.

  • Unified customer data
    see SAP Business Partner and Contact information directly in Znuny
  • Seamless synchronization
    align Znuny customers with SAP Business Partner master data
  • Improved collaboration
    support and business teams work from the same dataset
  • Audit readiness
    trace data flows for compliance and reporting

What Does the Integration Offer?

The extension uses available SAP OData/REST APIs to synchronize master data and ticket-related information.

  • sync Znuny customers with SAP Business Partner records
  • create and update Contacts (BP relationships, employees)
  • link tickets to SAP Business Partner IDs for traceability
  • fetch organizational assignments (e.g., sales org, service org) into Znuny
  • optional push of ticket status updates back into SAP CRM as Service Requests

Key Features:

  • Business Partner integration
    align Znuny customers with SAP BP master data
  • Contact & employee sync
    synchronize employees and related contacts
  • Flexible mappings
    map ticket fields to SAP CRM fields (Service Request, Activity, Case)
  • Bidirectional updates
    customer and ticket updates flow between both systems
  • Role-based access
    control who can sync or push data

Why Use Znuny–SAP CRM Integration?

This integration ensures your support desk becomes an integral part of your SAP-driven processes:

  • 360° customer view
    agents see SAP CRM master data directly inside Znuny
  • Process efficiency
    eliminate duplicate entry and manual reconciliation
  • Traceability
    map support cases to SAP Service Requests and BPs
  • Compliance
    retain audit-ready history of customer interactions
