How the DALIM to SAP Connector Works
The DALIM SAP Connector enables bi-directional data exchange between SAP and DALIM, allowing each system to do what it does best:
-
SAP manages article numbers, product structures, materials, and commercial data
-
DALIM manages packaging, artwork, reviews, approvals, and production workflows
Together, they form a single, connected process - without forcing teams to work in the wrong system.
Use Case Examples:
1. Packaging Projects Triggered from SAP
When a new article or component is approved in SAP, the relevant product data is automatically sent to DALIM to kick-start a packaging or artwork project.
Project managers and stakeholders can immediately begin collaboration - marketing, legal, regulatory, and production - all working from the same product definition.
Business value: Faster project starts, fewer setup errors, clearer ownership.
2. DALIM as the Single Source of Truth for Approvals
Many organizations choose DALIM as the system of record for packaging approvals.
As proofs are released, approved, or revised in DALIM, key milestones and metadata are automatically reflected back in SAP.
This ensures SAP always reflects the true production status - without emails, spreadsheets, or manual updates.
Business value: Full traceability, audit readiness, and reliable reporting.
3. Regulatory & Market Readiness Tracking
Country approvals, supplier sign-off, and compliance milestones captured in DALIM can be synchronized back to SAP at component or article level.
This allows teams to confidently answer:
-
Which markets are approved?
-
Which suppliers have signed off?
-
Is this product ready to ship?
Business value: Reduced compliance risk and faster global rollouts.
4. From Creative Approval to Commercial Execution
Once packaging or décor artwork is approved in DALIM, SAP receives the technical and status data needed to:
-
Create or update articles
-
Manage inventory
-
Generate quotes, orders, and invoices
Production moves forward without re-entering data or second-guessing approvals.
Business value: Less rework, better planning, smoother handoffs between teams.
