Output Management for SAP S/4HANA and ECC

SAP (S/4HANA, ECC, hybrid)

Output Management for SAP

Interform enhances SAP output

Interform enhances SAP output across all environments, including SAP S/4HANA, SAP ECC, and complex hybrid SAP landscapes.

SAP provides the data. Interform turns it into clear, consistent and reliable output, including documents and labels, without SAPscript, SmartForms or Adobe Forms.

SAP customers typically choose Interform when:

SmartForms and Adobe Forms create ABAP dependencies, transports and costly maintenance

Form changes require SAP developers, slowing response to business and operational needs

Organisations moving to S/4HANA want forms externalized from SAP to simplify migration

Templates must be reused across company codes, countries, SAP and non-SAP systems

Reliable, high-volume output is essential for logistics, warehouse and production processes

Interform addresses these and many more challenges without adding custom logic inside the ERP

With Interform in place, output is no longer a risk factor for us

Interform changed how we approach new requirements. Instead of writing new programs, we first ask what we can solve with Interform. We can take raw data from SAP, Excel, or anywhere else and turn it into the output we need. Once a workflow works, we trust it, reuse it, and build on it when new requirements come up.

How Interform works with SAP

SAP generates the data behind business documents such as invoices, delivery notes, labels, compliance forms, production documents and other operational output. Interform works alongside SAP. The ERP generates the data, and Interform completes design, enrichment, workflows and delivery outside the application. Interform can also return document references and statuses back to SAP, supporting traceability and compliance within SAP processes.

ERP on-premise architecture

When your ERP runs on-premise, Interform is typically deployed on-premise as well. Interform acts as a composable output layer: the ERP generates business data, while Interform manages document design, workflows, and distribution – without embedding logic in ERP code.

Upgrade-safe Output Management

Because output is decoupled from the ERP core, ERP upgrades and maintenance can be completed without reworking business-critical documents and labels, reducing risk across the ERP lifecycle.

Stable performance and operational control

An on-premise ERP and Interform setup ensures predictable print performance and local control of core processes such as label and document printing, safeguarding daily operations.

Full flexibility

When moving your ERP to the cloud, Interform NG2 can be deployed either in the cloud (with a local print client) or on-premise

Print performance for cloud ERP

If print performance is a priority, deploying Interform NG2 on-premise can be advantageous, allowing data to flow directly from a cloud ERP to a local output solution for fast and more reliable printing

Safe ERP migrations and upgrades

Interform operates as a composable output layer, decoupled from the ERP core, enabling safer ERP upgrades and cloud migrations

Cross company capability

Output is a cross-company capability that integrates data from Finance, Supply Chain, Warehousing, and non-ERP systems, enabling all output to be managed in one place across the organisation
