ERP options
An order from Kabaido reaches your ERP live (Connected) or as the documents your existing process needs (Documents).
Updated 10 November 2026
- Why
- An order won in Kabaido has to be made. Your ERP is where making is planned.
- How
- Chosen with your IT and your ERP vendor before the site days.
The two options
| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
| Connected | Orders go into your ERP live: part, routing, bill of materials and production order, through the ERP's API or its supported import route, agreed with your IT and the ERP vendor. |
| Documents | Kabaido produces what your existing process needs: the order pack, works drawings, purchase orders for material by email and a file in your ERP's own import format for a person to import. |
Both read the same order, so the choice changes how the order arrives, never what it says.
Which one
Whether Connected is possible depends on what your ERP exposes. Ask your ERP vendor for its specification before the site days, so the choice is made on facts.
Documents works with any ERP, because a person imports the file.
Other systems
For anything else that needs to read from or write to Kabaido, see the API.
