Requirements for SAP GLM+ Integration

This feature is supported only in the Loftware Cloud Enterprise SP edition of Loftware Enterprise SP and requires version 5.1 or later.

Loftware Integration for SAP® GLM+ is a product agnostic, independent integration that is supported by both Loftware Cloud and Loftware Enterprise SP. This SAP integration is designed to receive print requests from SAP® Global Label Management (GLM) systems and to return job status. Loftware Integration for SAP® GLM+ provides SAP GLM+ users with an alternative to designing and printing labels with SAP® Windows Wordprocessor Integration (WWI). This integration allows SAP GLM+ users who require a robust enterprise labeling solution to gain access to the benefits and advantages offered by Loftware labeling solutions.

If you are using Loftware Enterprise SP as your labeling solution, Loftware installs support for SAP GLM+ integration into your Loftware Enterprise SP environment. If you are using Loftware Cloud as your labeling solution, your integrator installs SAP GLM+ integration support into your Loftware Cloud environment. Your label designers create and maintain label templates in Loftware Cloud or Loftware Enterprise SP. Your SAP BASIS administrator installs and configures Loftware Integration for SAP GLM+ in your SAP environment.

Note: Your Loftware labeling solution should be installed and configured to support SAP GLM+ integration before you install Loftware Integration for SAP® GLM+ into your SAP environment.
