SAP Customer Checkout and SAP BusinessOne – Getting started
Hello Everyone,
This blog post informs you about integration of SAP Customer Checkout and SAP BusinessOne. It talks and points to the various resources that exists to help you understand and master the topic.
SAP Customer Checkout has out of the box integration to SAP BusinessOne. SAP Customer Checkout uses the B1if(SAP BusinessOne Integration Framework) for the integration.
During installation of B1if you can activate the scenarios needed for the integration. This activates the b1if scenarios and creates the necessary tables for Monitor. However this step of activation of scenarios and table creation can also be done later if you have an already installed B1if. We will talk and point to the resources for this topics later in this blog.

There are always special scenarios.. For the out of the box integration to work, we expect that in article in SAP BusinessOne the tax codes are maintained. However for some country localizations this is not the case. They can still synchronize articles into SAP Customer Checkout with small adaptations which are explained in detailed below. Many partners/customers are doing that.

Dear Bikash,
Is SAP Customer Checkout manager mandatory when integrating CCO with SAP B1? We are having some trouble with the installation, and we read about that in one of your posts, but can't find it in the installation procedure documentation.
Thanks in advance, Ainara
Hi Ainara,
CCOM is mandatory, not per se for the integration to B1, but for other CCO functions like licensing, quick selections, central user management, vouchers/gift cards etc.
The integration into b1 is done parallel to provide item master data, business partner master data etc.
Thank you so much for your answer, Arne!
Hi Ainara,
you are welcome.
