Requirements for Integration for use with SAP® Applications

Loftware Spectrum® Integration for use with SAP® Applications is an optional component that extends the functionality of SAP applications, incorporating Loftware Spectrum capabilities so that users can print labels from SAP applications. Print requests initiated by users in SAP applications are processed and printed by Spectrum, and Spectrum reports the status of each request to the originating application. You can configure as many integrations as your Spectrum license allows. If you are integrating Spectrum 5.0 with SAP, you must meet the following requirements.
