Verbella V-Link SharePoint Connector for SAP
Seamless, secure document access between SAP and Microsoft SharePoint
What you get
Break down content silos and give SAP users instant access to the business documents they need directly in the SAP transactions they already use. The V-Link SharePoint Connector for SAP securely bridges SAP ECC or S/4HANA with Microsoft SharePoint (online or on-prem), preserving SAP metadata, permissions, and auditability while enabling modern collaboration and lifecycle management in SharePoint.
Unified access: View and link SharePoint documents from SAP transactions (e.g., invoices, POs, delivery notes, HR files).
Governed collaboration: Keep SharePoint as the collaboration hub while honoring SAP authorizations and metadata.
Lower SAP DB growth: Store content in SharePoint while maintaining SAP-linked references for fast retrieval.
Faster cycles: Reduce hunting for files and speed up approvals with documents one click away.
Key capabilities
Bidirectional linking between SAP business objects and SharePoint document libraries/folders.
Metadata synchronization so SharePoint columns reflect SAP key fields (vendor, company code, doc number, etc.).
Authorization alignment that respects SAP roles/authorizations along with SharePoint permissions and Azure AD.
Versioning & retention: Leverage SharePoint’s native version history, policies, and records rules with SAP context intact.
Flexible capture: Ingest from MFPs/scanners, email, watch folders, or IDP platforms (e.g., TotalAgility/ABBYY) into SharePoint with SAP linkage.
How it works (high level)
Capture or author documents in SharePoint (or ingest via IDP)
Tag & sync SAP-relevant metadata to SharePoint columns
Link documents to SAP objects (e.g., MM/SD/FIN) via V-Link
Access documents directly from SAP transactions with full auditability.
Architecture note: V-Link uses SAP-approved interfaces and Microsoft Graph/SharePoint APIs where applicable; no fragile custom middleware.
Security & compliance
Role-aware access: SAP and SharePoint permissions work together for least-privilege access.
Azure AD support: Works with Microsoft 365 identity and conditional access policies.
Audit & traceability: Log who viewed/linked what, when, and from where.
Records-ready: Supports SharePoint retention labels/policies and records configurations.
Compatibility requirements
SAP: ECC or S/4HANA
SharePoint: SharePoint Online (Microsoft 365) and SharePoint Server (on-prem)
Environments: On-prem, cloud, or hybrid
Badges: Works with: SAP ECC • SAP S/4HANA • SharePoint Online/Server

Frequently Asked Questions
Verbella V-Link Sharepoint Connector for SAP
How complex is deployment?
Most deployments are configuration-driven. Timelines depend on library structures, metadata, and security requirements.
Does the Verbella V-Link Sharepoint Connector for SAP require SharePoint Online?
No. V-Link supports SharePoint Online and SharePoint Server on-prem.
Will our SAP authorizations still apply?
Yes. Access respects SAP roles/authorizations and aligns with SharePoint permissions via Azure AD or on-prem AD.
Can SharePoint metadata mirror SAP fields?
Yes. V-Link synchronizes key SAP metadata to SharePoint columns for search, views, and retention rules.
Where are documents stored, SAP or SharePoint?
Documents live in SharePoint; SAP stores the links and context. That keeps the SAP database lean while preserving instant access.
What about versioning and retention?
SharePoint version history and retention labels are fully supported while keeping SAP linkage intact.
Do we need an IDP/capture tool to use the Verbella V-Link Sharepoint Connector for SAP?
No. You can author or upload files directly into SharePoint. If you do use IDP (e.g., TotalAgility/ABBYY), V-Link links those to SAP seamlessly.
