Bridge the Gap to Your Host
If you use SAP to drive your “shop-floor” operations in retail, warehouse, distribution, manufacturing, or transportation and logistics and want to improve your shop-floor worker productivity or your shop-floor related SAP data integrity, you need MCL-Bridge for SAP. This high-productivity, fully integrated software allows you to interface activities right from the point of activity, directly into SAP.
An optional component of MCL-Collection, MCL-Bridge for SAP is a technical interface between MCL and SAP. It ‘sits’ on top of MCL-Link or MCL-Net and gives your applications direct access to SAP using standard interfaces:
Remote Function Calls (RFC)
Intermediate Documents (IDOC)
Business Object Application Program Interface (BAPI)
Once deployed, MCL-Bridge for SAP executes the IDOC and RFC/BAPI custom scripts you create using MCL-Designer and its add-on for SAP.
With its development component, deployment components, and modular approach, MCL-Collection has everything you need to create a complete end-to-end solution with SAP.
Note: MCL-Bridge for SAP is an SAP certified interface.
