How do I use AI with SAP Business One in the cloud and what do I need to be aware of
More of our customers are asking us to open up direct access to their SAP Business One Service Layer, or to their database, so they can connect their own choice of MCP server, database client or LLM. We're glad to see this level of curiosity and ambition. It tells us you're taking AI seriously, and we want to support you. But it comes with some caveats...
Before we do, we owe you an honest conversation. Connecting an AI tool to a live ERP backend is not the same as connecting it to a spreadsheet or a read-only report. Once the connection exists, the AI (or whatever tool you've pointed at it) can read, and often write, real transactional data: the same data your invoicing, stock, general ledger and reporting depend on. This document explains in plain language what can go wrong, why we can't fully protect you from it once you hold the keys, and what we ask of you before we switch it on.
