Verbella V-Link Desktop to SAP Connector
Fast, user-friendly document capture straight from the desktop into SAP
What you get
Put document capture where your users already work. The V-Link Desktop to SAP Connector lets employees attach or link files directly to SAP ECC or S/4HANA transactions—without extra middleware or complex steps. Drag-and-drop, apply SAP metadata, and keep a full audit trail, all in minutes.
Zero friction for business users: Drag-and-drop files into SAP-linked queues with prompts for the right metadata.
Governed and audit-ready: Honors SAP authorizations and records who linked what, when.
Lean SAP footprint: Store documents in your chosen repository (e.g., SharePoint or CloudDocs) while SAP keeps the link and context.
Rapid rollout: Configuration over customization, so teams are productive quickly.
Key capabilities
Direct link/attach to SAP business objects (FI/MM/SD/HR and more).
Metadata capture aligned to SAP fields (vendor, company code, doc number, etc.).
Flexible ingest sources: Local files, network folders, email saves, MFP/scanner output, and “watched” drop folders.
Exception handling: Queues and prompts guide users to fix missing fields or conflicts.
Traceability: Logs actions for audit and support.
How it works (high level)
Add files from desktop or a designated folder.
Select the target SAP object (or search by key/criteria).
Tag with the required SAP metadata using guided prompts.
Link/attach: V-Link updates SAP with the reference and sends the file to your chosen repository.
Verify: Users can open the source document from the SAP transaction with one click.
Architecture note: Documents can be stored in SharePoint, Tungsten CloudDocs, or another repository; SAP holds the link and context.
