BDE Software for SAP Business One
EM 4 SAP – Digital Production Confirmation Directly at the Workstation
Capture production data where it is generated: directly on the shop floor. EM 4 SAP makes production orders from SAP Business One available digitally at the workstation and supports completion notifications, reorder requests, and other confirmations directly from the production floor. Drawings, bills of materials, and item information are available for each respective order.
Are you familiar with these production challenges?
Production orders are still provided at the workstation in paper form or through a cumbersome process
Feedback is provided with a delay or manually
Drawings and bills of materials must be searched for or requested
Reorders are initiated outside the actual production process
What Our BDE Software Does
EM 4 SAP supports production-related processes in prefabrication and production departments. The application delivers production orders from SAP Business One directly to the workstation and links the completion confirmation to the corresponding order information.
This allows production data to be captured directly on the shop floor and returned to SAP Business One. This creates a seamless flow of information between the production workstation and the ERP system.
Access ERP production orders directly at the worksite.
Report completion notifications and reorder requests directly to SAP Business One.
Bills of materials, drawings, and product images are available for the current order.
Real-time order status through continuous communication with SAP Business One

| ERP Transfer | Delayed transmission or additional coordination efforts | Transfer feedback directly to the ERP system |
| Feedback | Manual and delayed | Recorded directly from the shop floor |
| Reorders | Organized separately | Initiated during the process |
| Order Status | Not always visible in the workplace | Current processing status can be tracked via ERP communication |
How EM 4 SAP Supports the Production Process as Production Data Acquisition (PDC) Software
Production orders are visible at the workstation and are mobile and digital rather than paper-based. The system supports simultaneous use across multiple workstations.
Drawings, bills of materials, and product images are available directly within the production context, enabling faster work and reducing the need for follow-up questions.
Completion notifications are triggered directly from the shop floor without any delays; reorder requests can be initiated in real time and transferred to the ERP system.
Thanks to constant communication with the ERP system via the REST API, order data remains up to date and the processing status is traceable.
The integrated offline mode ensures high availability on the shop floor and guarantees stable operation at many workstations.
Frequently Asked Questions About Our BDE Software
In a production context, drawings, bills of materials, item information, and item images can be made available directly within the order context. This eliminates the need to search for information separately or reconcile it manually.
With EM 4 SAP, completion notifications can be initiated directly from the shop floor and immediately transferred to SAP Business One. The same applies to reorder requests, which can be triggered in real time.
EM 4 SAP features a built-in offline mode and is therefore designed to ensure high availability on the shop floor. In projects, parallel online and offline operations have been implemented using a Connection Agent to support uninterrupted production.
