Connected Salesforce CRM and SAP ERP through an event-driven MuleSoft middleware layer, enabling live inventory queries, automated order booking upon deal closure, robust retry queues, and end-to-end financial reconciliation.
How we bridged sales quoting in Salesforce with manufacturing master data and inventory in SAP ERP.
Sales quotes generated in Salesforce had zero visibility into real-time inventory balances and tier-based customer pricing held inside SAP, causing pricing errors and stock-out delays.
Order confirmations required administrative staff to manually copy and re-key deal terms and line items from Salesforce into SAP, introducing human data entry errors and fulfillment bottlenecks.
Finance had no reliable programmatic link to reconcile closed-won Salesforce opportunities with actual SAP sales order records and billing schedules.
Configured API-led connectivity on MuleSoft Anypoint Platform connecting Salesforce REST APIs with SAP ECC/S4HANA via SAP Java Connectors (JCo) and RFCs.
Implemented synchronous lookups inside Salesforce Quote Line Items that query SAP plant availability (ATP) and custom pricing condition records in sub-second latency.
Built event-triggered flows converting Won Opportunities in Salesforce directly into confirmed SAP Sales Orders (VA01), writing back the SAP Document Number into Salesforce.
Normalized enterprise data schemas across systems, aligning customer accounts with SAP Sold-To/Ship-To party definitions and standard material masters.
Constructed asynchronous reliability queues via Anypoint MQ with automatic backoff retry policies for temporary network outages or lockouts in SAP.
Configured centralized Splunk and MuleSoft Visualizer monitoring with alerting dashboards and correlation IDs for complete transaction traceability.
Automated order booking directly upon deal closure, completely eliminating manual dual-entry and freeing 25+ hours per week per sales coordinator.
Reps quote with 99.8% pricing accuracy and verifiable warehouse inventory, eliminating out-of-stock commitments and reducing order modification cycles.
Bi-directional synchronization links Salesforce Opportunity IDs with SAP Order and Invoice numbers, accelerating monthly financial closes.

Salesforce Quote UI calls MuleSoft to fetch real-time SAP plant ATP stock and tiered contract prices.
Opportunity moves to Closed-Won, emitting a Salesforce Change Data Capture (CDC) platform event.
Transforms Salesforce payload into SAP BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2 schema with retry queues.
SAP confirms creation of Sales Order and writes back Order # and line status directly into Salesforce.
MuleSoft Experience API queries SAP Available-to-Promise (ATP) directly from quote builder
When a sales representative adds manufacturing parts to a quote, Salesforce fires an authenticated REST call to the MuleSoft Experience API. MuleSoft translates the request and queries SAP pricing condition tables and plant stock levels.
