Using the OData APIs available in SAP S/4HANA Cloud, integrations patterns provided by Cloud Integration capability and simplified connectivity to SharePoint provided by Open Connectors of SAP Cloud Platform Integration Suite, such a business scenario can be very easily achieved.

SAP Cloud Platform Integration Suite is a versatile, dynamic and enterprise-grade iPaaS (integration platform-as-a-service) from SAP that simplifies and accelerates enterprise integration and helps organizations to quickly transition to becoming intelligent enterprises. More information on SAP Cloud Platform Suite in this blog.

In this blog series, a simplified integration of replicating billing and invoice documents from SAP S/4HANA Cloud to SharePoint using SAP Cloud Platform Integration Suite has been showcased. As shown in the solution diagram for high level overview of process steps, this integration will consist of the following steps
