# SAP Business One

export const title_0 = "SAP Business One";

## Prerequisites

If your SAP Business One server is on a private network or behind a firewall, set up the Connect Gateway on the same network as your SAP Business One server. The Connect Gateway acts as a secure tunnel between your on-premises network and Connect AI. See [Connect Gateway](/en/Connect-Gateway) for more information.

## Setup Guide

Follow these steps to connect SAP Business One to your Connect AI account:

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Open the **Sources** page of the Connect AI navigation menu.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Click **+ Add Connection** in the upper-right corner.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Type *SAP Business One* into the search field, then click the data source name.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    On the **Basic Settings** tab of the new connection, enter a connection name or keep the default name.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Select a **Connection Type**:

    * Select **Direct** if your SAP Business One server is publicly accessible.
    * Select **Connect Gateway** if your SAP Business One server is on a private network or behind a firewall.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    (Connect Gateway only) Select the **Location Name** of the gateway you set up in the prerequisites.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Enter the following information:

    * **Company DB**—the SAP Business One company database
    * **Password**—the user password
    * **User**—the SAP Business One username for authentication
    * **URL**—the URL to the SAP Business One service layer root, in the format `https://[IP-address]:[port]/b1s/[version]` (for example, `https://192.168.123.132:50000/b1s/v1`).
  </Step>

  <Step>
    At the top of the Connect AI **Add {title_0} Connection** page, click **Save & Test**.

    * If the connection test succeeds, a **Connection successfully saved** message appears, indicating that your connection has been created. The **Status** on the **Edit Connection** page also changes to **Authenticated**. View the data model of your successful connection in the right pane of the **Edit Connection** page, in the **Data Model** tab.
    * If the connection test fails, ensure that you entered your login information correctly with no stray spaces or other characters. Connect AI displays error messages under the required fields with missing data. Some data sources require that you sign in directly to the source website. If you did not, an error message appears under the **Sign in** button. Correct the errors and try again.
    * Unsuccessful connections are saved as drafts and have a **Status** of **Not Authenticated**. You can return to the connection and authenticate it later.
  </Step>
</Steps>
