SAP Integration
UAE E-Invoicing for SAP Business One, S/4HANA & ECC
TrustBill adds the missing FTA e-invoicing layer to SAP. SAP generates invoices; we convert them to PINT-AE XML, validate the 51 mandatory fields, and submit through an FTA-accredited ASP on the Peppol 5-corner model.
How TrustBill integrates with SAP
SAP Business One, S/4HANA and SAP ECC create invoice data, but none of them has a native PINT-AE or Peppol submission endpoint. TrustBill pulls invoice data through the SAP B1 Service Layer, an SAP API or an iDoc/IDOC connector, then maps it to PINT-AE XML, validates all 51 mandatory and conditional fields, and submits it to the FTA network through a Microvista-accredited ASP. For SAP Business One, a TrustBill add-on and API connector run inside the SAP environment or on a middleware layer so invoices are extracted without customer-side custom code.
SAP e-invoicing setup guide
A typical SAP integration is completed in 1–3 business days:
1. **Discovery call** — Share your SAP version (B1 / S/4HANA / ECC), hosting model and invoice volume. 2. **Connector deployment** — For SAP Business One we install the TrustBill add-on; for S/4HANA and ECC we configure the API or iDoc connector. 3. **Field mapping** — We align your SAP invoice master data (TRN, tax codes, units of measure, buyer/seller) with the PINT-AE schema. 4. **Validation tests** — Run test invoices against the FTA 51-field PINT-AE schema and preview the generated XML. 5. **Go live** — Production submission starts; rejected invoices are surfaced in the TrustBill dashboard with fix instructions.
No SAP migration is required, and all invoice data stays in the UAE (AWS me-central-1).
PINT-AE compliance for SAP invoices
UAE e-invoicing requires PINT-AE XML with 51 mandatory fields, buyer/seller TRN, invoice UUID, tax totals, line-level VAT and Peppol 5-corner routing. SAP does not generate this natively. TrustBill transforms SAP invoice data into compliant PINT-AE XML, including conditional fields such as free-zone designations and margin-scheme indicators, and submits it through an accredited ASP connected to the FTA Peppol network.
Key features for SAP users
TrustBill's SAP integration includes:
- **SAP B1 add-on** — Lightweight add-on for SAP Business One that extracts invoices and pushes them to TrustBill. - **S/4HANA & ECC connector** — API/iDoc-based integration for enterprise SAP landscapes. - **PINT-AE conversion** — Native SAP data transformed into UAE-standard XML. - **51-field validation** — Every invoice is checked against FTA mandatory and conditional rules. - **High-volume processing** — Built for the invoice volumes of larger SMEs and enterprises. - **Status tracking** — Monitor queued, validated, submitted, accepted and rejected statuses per invoice. - **VAT 201 integration** — Submitted invoices feed your VAT 201 return draft. - **Data residency** — Invoice data is stored and processed in the UAE (AWS me-central-1).
Security and data governance for SAP
TrustBill connects to SAP using read-limited credentials and the minimum API scopes required. All data is encrypted in transit with TLS 1.3 and at rest with AES-256-GCM. The SAP connector does not write back to your SAP ledgers; it only reads invoice and master data. Data never leaves the UAE, and access is logged and auditable for enterprise governance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which SAP versions are supported?
TrustBill supports SAP Business One (B1), SAP S/4HANA and SAP ECC. We also support on-premise, cloud and hosted deployments of SAP Business One.
Is SAP S/4HANA supported for UAE e-invoicing?
Yes. S/4HANA is supported through an API or iDoc connector that extracts invoice data and sends it to TrustBill for PINT-AE conversion and FTA submission.
Do I need an SAP add-on to submit e-invoices?
SAP has no native FTA e-invoicing endpoint. You need an FTA-accredited ASP and a connector or add-on such as TrustBill to generate and submit PINT-AE XML to the FTA.
How is my SAP invoice data secured?
We use read-only or minimum-permission connections, TLS 1.3 in transit and AES-256-GCM at rest. Your data is stored in the UAE (AWS me-central-1) and never leaves the country.
How long does a SAP implementation take?
Most SAP Business One integrations go live in 1–3 business days. S/4HANA and ECC deployments typically take 3–5 business days depending on the landscape and customisations.
