Overview


MyPaperflow integrates with SAP Business One using the Service Layer, a web-based API that enables external applications to interact with SAP Business One data. Therefore, for MyPaperflow to operate properly, it is mandatory that the SAP Service Layer is configured correctly and that all requests sent to it are executed as expected. 
 

Installing SAP Business One Service Layer.

The official SAP Business One articles can guide you through the process of installation:


Prerequisites

Before configuring the Service Layer:

  • Ensure your SAP Business One license and database details are set up in the Boyum Portal.
  • Confirm that the SAP Business One Service Layer is installed and running.

Once you have set up your license and database details in the Boyum Portal, you need to establish the connection between the backend of MyPaperflow and SAP Business One.

 

How to connect to the SAP Business One Service Layer  

1. Service Layer address

MyPaperflow communicates with the Service Layer of your SAP Business One installation. 
For this purpose, MyPaperflow needs the public address of the server running the SAP Business One Service Layer and the port number where the Service Layer can be reached.  The SAP Business One Service Layer is accessible from a URL that can be either a domain name or an IP address, followed by a port number.  
 

  • <server-address> can be a domain name or IP address.
  • At the end of the URL, the port number of the SAP Service Layer should be appended. 
    50000 is the default port for the Service Layer, but be aware you might have a different default port!
     

Note: 
An address like this e.g.: 198.162.x.x. These addresses are set aside for private networks. If you are on a private network and connect with another device on that same network, you might use an address like this, but keep in mind that these addresses are not accessible from the internet.
 

A full SAP Service Layer URL could look like this: 192.168.25.29:50000

For example:  https://<server-address>:50000/b1s/v1/


2. Whitelist IP addresses 

Typically, the SAP Service Layer will be accessible via different URLs depending on whether it is accessed from within the same network or from an external network. 

The relevant IP addresses need to be added to the firewall whitelist for the SAP Business One Service Layer port.  
 

 IP address: 
52.236.169.11

 

Note: 
Internal and external network access may require different URLs.


3. Troubleshooting Connection Issues

If MyPaperflow cannot connect to the Service Layer:

  • Verify the Service Layer is running and accessible via browser or Postman.
  • Check firewall settings and confirm IP whitelisting.
