SAP Interfaces
Use MIC SAP CONNECT to integrate SAP ERP with the MIC GTM Software Suite
MIC SAP CONNECT is MIC’s SAP Interface product to integrate SAP with the MIC Customs and Trade Compliance software modules. This allows for collecting data from SAP and sending it to MIC to be used in foreign trade and logistics processes. It furthermore enables sending back response messages to SAP, writing back data to SAP or triggering processes in SAP.
MIC SAP CONNECT connects the SAP modules SD, MM and PP with MIC, providing data for import declarations, export declarations, origin calculation and export control, as well as master data.
The implementation of MIC SAP CONNECT gives you the advantage of the use of SAP standard logic, including vast possibilities for customizing and being in line with your processes as much as possible.

Accelerates import, export and special customs procedures
It fully integrates with MIC-CUST® for import and export customs declarations, as well as special customs procedures. It allows for sending data on stock movements, or transfers into free circulation (e.g., from bonded warehouse, inward processing relief) but also US foreign trade zone (FTZ) inventory transactions. Furthermore, it delivers information on the status of a customs declaration (import and export) back from MIC-CUST® to SAP.
Connects Material Master in SAP ERP with MIC's Central Classification System (CCS)
Connecting the SAP material master with MIC CCS enables smooth customs tariffs, as well as export control classification of your commodities. The classification results are not only available in the MIC CCS module but also mirrored to the SAP material master.
Enhances your export control management
MIC SAP CONNECT provides direct data exchange between your SAP ERP system and MIC's Export Control Management system (MIC ECM). It sends screening requests for business partners, as well as business transactions to MIC ECM. Screening results from MIC ECM are mirrored in SAP and by request blocks can be set for business partners.
Foreign Trade Monitor for better visibility of the import and export declaration status
The MIC-CUST® Foreign Trade Monitor provides the status of MIC-CUST® import and export declarations in SAP, this is available for certain countries only. It also enables printing of the related Export Accompanying Document (EAD) within SAP with no need to switch to the MIC software.
Business partners integration
MIC ALL for business partners transfers address master information from SAP Vendor, SAP Customer data (R/3) or SAP Business Partner data (S/4) to the MIC address master.
MIC SAP CONNECT supports various SAP versions
MIC supports SAP ERP ECC 6.0 with MIC SAP Interfaces Release 5 but requires at least SAP ECC 6.0 EHP 7 or higher. It also supports SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition and Clean Core Level C with MIC SAP CONNECT.
MIC SAP CONNECT deployment options
MIC SAP CONNECT can be deployed on your SAP system by importing a Workbench Transport that MIC provides. Furthermore, it is possible to deploy the MIC SAP Interfaces as an add-on, via Addon Assembly Kit (AAK).
MIC SAP CONNECT technology
MIC SAP CONNECT relies on the following core features of SAP:
- SAP BAdi technology - for integrating MIC ABAP logic into the SAP standard process and triggering messages
- The SAP Output Control (NAST) feature – for integrating MIC ABAP logic into the SAP standard process and triggering messages (MIC-CUST, MIC INTRA, MIC OCS only)
- SAP BAPI technology - for modifying data in SAP documents and master data, based on response messages received from MIC
- SAP Output Control – for triggering messages based on SAP documents
- QRFC - to untie the sending of messages to MIC from the regular SAP processes, to avoid locks and wait times in SAP
- WebServices (SOAP)/WSDL – for creating the XML messages out of SAP data that are conform to the MIC standard interfaces
- SAP PO/CPI – your own middleware technology can be used to call the MIC webservices (SOAP) and send and receive data to/from MIC. No ABAP installations on PO/CPI are required; a PO/CPI forwards the XML messages as a whole.
MIC SAP CONNECT will never modify SAP standard ABAP code.
