Three steps for your SAP administrator

No developer work on the Clearvo side. Your SAP administrator creates a Communication Arrangement in 30 minutes, enters four values in the Clearvo dashboard, and Clearvo handles everything from there.

01

SAP Communication Arrangement

Your SAP admin creates a Communication User, Communication System, and three Communication Arrangements (SAP_COM_0303, SAP_COM_0008, SAP_COM_0120). Takes about 30 minutes.

02

Enter credentials in Clearvo

Enter your System URL, Token URL, Client ID, and Client Secret in Settings → Integrations → SAP S/4HANA. Clearvo verifies the connection immediately.

03

Documents submitted automatically

Clearvo reads accounting documents from SAP (FI types DR, RV, DG, RG), maps them to the correct e-invoice format, and submits to the relevant authority.

Automatic

SAP generates documents. Clearvo submits them.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud is an excellent ERP — but e-invoicing compliance requires live connections to each country's tax authority, certificate management, clearance polling, and rejection handling. None of that is in SAP out of the box.

Full e-invoicing coverage, end to end

Once connected to SAP, Clearvo takes care of every technical layer between your accounting document and a cleared submission at the tax authority.

Format generation

FatturaPA (Italy), KSeF FA(3) (Poland), XRechnung (Germany), UBL BIS 3.0 (Peppol network), eFactura (Romania), and more — generated automatically from your SAP FI/SD document data.

Authority submission

Direct connections to SDI, KSeF, ANAF, NAV, myDATA, AEAT, and the Peppol network. No intermediary network — Clearvo talks directly to each authority's API.

Clearance polling

Authorities like Italy SDI and Romania ANAF don't confirm clearance instantly. Clearvo polls for status and updates your dashboard when the invoice is accepted or rejected.

Buyer data enrichment

Customer name, address, and VAT number pulled from SAP's Business Partner API (SAP_COM_0008) automatically — no manual entry of buyer data.

Read-only, encrypted

Clearvo reads your SAP data. It cannot create, modify, or delete anything. Your OAuth credentials are stored AES-256-GCM encrypted — the plain-text secret is never logged.

Audit trail

Every submission, authority response, and status change logged in Clearvo. Full audit trail exportable alongside your SAP system's own inbound API access logs.

Coverage

Direct connections to every major tax authority.

Clearvo connects directly to each country's tax authority API — faster clearance, authority-specific error messages, and no dependency on a third-party network.

What your SAP administrator does

No code. No SAP development. Just configuration in the standard SAP Fiori apps your team already uses. Full instructions are provided inside the Clearvo dashboard.

1

Create a Communication User

A technical user account (e.g. CLEARVO_API_USER) in the Maintain Communication Users app. This is separate from regular employee accounts.

2

Create a Communication System

Registers Clearvo (app.clearvo.io) as an external system that can connect to your SAP. Takes 2 minutes in the Communication Systems app.

3

Create Communication Arrangements

Three arrangements cover accounting documents (SAP_COM_0303), billing documents (SAP_COM_0120), and business partner data (SAP_COM_0008). Each generates OAuth credentials.

4

Enter credentials in Clearvo

System URL, Token URL, Client ID, and Client Secret entered directly in Settings → Integrations. No credentials are emailed. Clearvo verifies the connection immediately.

Common questions

Which SAP version does this support?

The integration is built for SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition — the cloud-native, browser-based version managed by SAP. The setup uses SAP's standard Communication Arrangements framework, which is the correct approach for Public Edition. SAP ECC or S/4HANA Private Cloud may require a different setup path.

Does Clearvo need write access to SAP?

No. The Communication Arrangement grants read-only access to specific OData APIs. Clearvo cannot create, modify, or delete any records in your SAP system. The OAuth credentials only permit read operations on accounting documents and business partner data.

Which document types are imported?

Clearvo reads FI accounting document types DR (Customer Invoice), RV (Billing Transfer from SD), DG (Customer Credit Memo), and RG (SD Credit Note). These cover the standard outbound invoicing flows. If your organisation uses non-standard document types, contact support@clearvo.io.

How does buyer VAT number lookup work?

Clearvo uses the Business Partner API (enabled via SAP_COM_0008) to look up the buyer's name, address, and VAT registration number automatically from their SAP customer master record. You don't need to maintain buyer tax numbers separately in Clearvo.

Can I use this with SAP's test system?

Yes. You can connect Clearvo's sandbox environment to your SAP quality/test tenant for testing. Use the credentials from your Q system, and use a Clearvo sandbox API key (csk_test_*). No real authority calls are made in sandbox mode.

How long does the SAP setup take?

About 30 minutes for a SAP administrator who has access to the Communication Management apps. The step-by-step guide is available inside the Clearvo dashboard under Settings → Integrations → SAP S/4HANA, so your admin can follow it without leaving the setup flow.

How does pricing work?

Connecting SAP is free. You get 25 e-invoices per month on Clearvo's free tier. Beyond that, you pay per invoice submitted — no monthly minimum, no setup fee, no per-country charge.
