Looking to simplify and centralize task handling across multiple ERP systems, including non-SAP platforms? With the SAP Task Center's Third Party Connector, you can seamlessly integrate non-SAP systems into a unified task management hub. Experience dynamic task filters, multi-language support, mass approvals, custom attributes, and much more—all in a single interface tailored to your needs.
We’ve successfully implemented and validated the SAP Task Center Third Party Connector for SAP ERP systems (non-S/4HANA). The POC was based on the great and detailed implementation Guidelines provided by SAP.
We’ve successfully implemented and validated the SAP Task Center Third Party Connector for SAP ERP (non-S/4HANA) systems. Using SAP’s detailed Third-Party Adoption Guide, our proof of concept (PoC) demonstrated how the Task Center can efficiently manage tasks from diverse systems, creating a scalable and flexible solution for heterogeneous landscapes.
This article outlines the implementation of a Third Party Connector for ERP systems based on official SAP documentation. We’ll cover the fundamental configuration steps, highlight the achieved results, and showcase the benefits of this solution.
In fact the integration of any Third Party System needs to fulfill the following prerequisites:
All feature of a Third Party Connector, like attachment, comments, bulk or substitutions can be implemented step by step and switch on after implementation.
The implementation was split into three parts
The following image shows up the final architecture of the implementation:
Integrating SAP Standard Task Processing Standard Service pushed the speed of the development dramatically. We didn't had to cover standard actions, like
Now we are focusing on decoupling the Task Processing Service and moving more and more functionalities to our implementation. The following screen shows the integration the Approve Leave Request V3 Service in the Task Center:

The implementation of the connector brings numerous benefits that significantly enhance task management:
The connector enables the integration of tasks from ERP systems that are not based on S/4HANA, bridging the gap to modern task management.
Through destinations, task filters can be flexibly configured, allowing users to view only the tasks relevant to them. This improves usability and reduces complexity. Additional filter parameter can be passed by configuring the destination properties to the backend logic in order to display dedicated tasks in a separate group e.g. Leave Request Only and to reuse the connector.
The application supports multiple languages, which is especially advantageous for globally operating companies. Users can view tasks in their preferred language.
Tasks such as leave requests can be directly displayed and processed within the Task Center without switching applications, enhancing efficiency and providing a seamless user experience. We are delivering enhancement spots to adjust the displayed content and integrate dedicated approval screens inplace
The connector supports displaying and processing custom attributes tailored to specific business requirements. This allows to take fast decisions especially when performing mass approvals.
Users can approve multiple tasks simultaneously, reducing the workload for repetitive tasks (e.g., invoice approvals).
Tasks can be forwarded to substitutes during absences, ensuring uninterrupted workflows.
These include support for task delegation, adaptability to specific business needs, and the ability to integrate tasks from additional systems.
With the Third Party Connector, SAP Task Center becomes a versatile platform for task management. It’s not limited to ERP systems—you can also integrate CRM, HR, and further custom or non SAP applications, ensuring a truly centralized and scalable solution for diverse business environments.
