SAP and ABAP: We are the ‘No Coding Required’ Labeling Solution

The Loftware Connector for SAP Applications is the ‘no coding required’ labeling solution. It seamlessly integrates with the spooling system in your SAP instance. The SAP instance issues a label request and inserts it into the standard SAP spooler queue. The Loftware Connector, working with a Loftware Print Server® (or multiple Loftware Print Servers) delivers the right label to the right printer at the right time.

Intelligent Data Filtering and Decision-Making Tools

The Loftware Connector for SAP Applications includes Filters that address all of the special Business Logic associated with corporate marking systems without having to change SAP through additional programming or customization. The basic function of a Filter is to find and add missing data to a request coming from a Label Print Request transaction. Filters makes it possible to:

• Get up and running in a shorter time frame
• Concentrate label output management and Business Logic in one place
• Remain flexible and readily adapt to changing business requirements
• Maintain Business Logic through a highly configurable interface, eliminating programming tasks

From a single SAP Label Print Request, the Loftware Connector for SAP Applications enables you to print multiple label formats, use multiple printer types, and automatically determine which label or labels to print and where to print them.
