Hi Eshraq,

Yes, Mendix can definitely be integrated with SAP for data extraction, automation, and even updating data back to SAP.


One common approach is to use the OData Connector for SAP Solutions. If your SAP system exposes the required OData services, Mendix can consume those services and retrieve SAP data directly into the application. The connector supports SAP Business Suite, SAP S/4HANA, SAP S/4HANA Cloud, and other SAP systems with OData enabled.


For scenarios where the required functionality is exposed through BAPIs/RFCs, Mendix also has a BAPI Connector for SAP Solutions, which allows you to discover and call SAP BAPIs from Mendix.


A typical architecture could be:

SAP → OData/BAPI → Mendix → Microflows → Mendix UI/Dashboards


You can then use Mendix microflows to apply business logic, automate processes, schedule data synchronization, and present the SAP data through Mendix pages and dashboards.


If SAP is hosted on-premises and the Mendix application is running on SAP BTP, you can also use SAP's connectivity capabilities to securely access the on-premises SAP system.


So yes, SAP + Mendix is a very common integration approach. The best connector depends mainly on what interfaces your SAP system currently exposes—OData, BAPI/RFC, REST, or SOAP.


If you can share whether you're using SAP ECC or S/4HANA and whether you need read-only data extraction or two-way integration, I can suggest the most suitable approach.


Kindly mark this as the accepted answer if it helps.
