How to Connect Claude AI to SAP Business One

​SAP Business One has powerful data — but getting AI to read and act on it is harder than it looks. In this 30-minute live session, Ashok Manthena walks through the real architecture: Service Layer first, DI-API second, period status checks, journal posting, and the guardrails that keep your close calendar honest.

​What you will walk away with:

• ​Service Layer vs DI-API — which to use and when

• ​How to authenticate Claude against SAP B1 without breaking existing sessions

• ​Period status checks and posting locks that prevent close errors

• ​Journal entry posting via AI with full audit trail

• ​The close calendar guardrails finance teams actually need

​Who this is for: Controllers, CFOs, Finance Directors, and IT leads running SAP Business One who want to reduce manual overhead in their monthly close and reporting cycle.
