🚀 Introducing BRIDGE: A Smarter Way to Connect SAP to EUDR
The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) is changing the game for companies trading or importing key commodities into the European market. Compliance is no longer optional — and seamless digital integration is now a legal necessity.
That’s why I built BRIDGE: a lightweight integration layer designed specifically to help SAP customers stay compliant with minimal disruption.
What is EUDR?
The EU Deforestation Regulation applies to companies dealing with products such as:
🌳 Timber & wood derivatives
☕ Coffee
🍫 Cocoa
🫘 Soy
🥩 Beef
🌴 Palm oil
As of 2026, these operators are required to submit a Due Diligence Statement (DDS) before placing such goods on the EU market. This submission must be made electronically via the EUDR REST API.
What is BRIDGE?
BRIDGE is a lightweight middleware that connects SAP systems (via iDoc) directly to the EUDR submission API.
It’s built for:
🔌 Easy deployment in existing SAP landscapes
📥 Automatic conversion of iDoc files to EUDR-compliant JSON payloads
📤 Secure API communication with the official EUDR endpoint
🧩 Extendibility to support other REST services beyond EUDR
BRIDGE lets you keep your current SAP setup — no need for CPI, no need for PI/PO, no need for complex rebuilds.
Why This Matters: PI/PO is Dated, CPI is Expensive
Today, a large portion of SAP customers still rely on SAP PI/PO for interfacing, even though:
🔚 PI/PO is nearing end-of-life
💸 Maintaining PI/PO is expensive
⚙️ CPI (SAP BTP) requires licensing and development capacity
BRIDGE offers a leaner alternative: a self-contained integration flow that can run on-premise or cloud, and that can evolve later into a BTP service when you’re ready to migrate.
It’s a future-proof first step that gives you flexibility, compliance, and peace of mind.
Built to Simplify & Save
BRIDGE was built to do one thing well: connect SAP to modern APIs — cleanly and affordably.
No bloated middleware. No multi-week setup. Just drop your iDoc files in a monitored folder, and BRIDGE does the rest — transforming, submitting, and handling the responses in a clean, traceable way.
Because ABAP developers already know EDI and iDoc structures inside out, integration becomes straightforward and predictable — no need to learn new formats or reinvent the wheel.
