SAP B1 ↔ Ramp — Corporate Card Feed + Auto GL Coding
The SAP Business One ↔ Ramp connector by ERPPlugs streams every Ramp corporate card transaction into SAP B1 in real time, applies AI-suggested GL coding based on merchant + spend policy + past coding decisions, matches receipts to transactions automatically (Ramp captures receipts via mobile app), routes above-threshold spend for approval, and posts approved transactions as SAP B1 Journal Entries with correct dimensional attribution. Eliminates the month-end scramble to close card expenses.
Real-time Ramp card transactions stream into SAP B1 with AI GL coding, auto receipt matching, and per-employee approval — no month-end scramble.
What this connector does
Ramp is the leading corporate card platform for US SMB + mid-market — 25,000+ companies use it because the software layer (spend policy, receipt capture, expense automation) is genuinely better than what the incumbent banks ship. But the SAP Business One side of the flow has historically been a broken bridge — Ramp exports monthly CSVs, someone in finance opens them, GL codes each line by hand, matches receipts to transactions, posts the batch as Journal Entries at month-end. It's a full week of finance work every month.
The ERPPlugs SAP B1 ↔ Ramp connector wires the Ramp API directly into SAP B1 in real time — no CSVs, no month-end batch, no manual GL coding. Every card transaction Ramp captures streams into ERPPlugs within seconds. The connector applies AI-suggested GL coding based on the merchant (Ramp already categorises merchants), your spend policy (which departments spend on what), and past coding decisions your team has approved (a Ramp transaction at "Snowflake" is almost certainly Cloud Infrastructure; your team's past confirmations train the AI). Receipts captured via Ramp's mobile app auto-match to transactions by amount + timestamp + merchant.
Above-threshold transactions route for approval on the schedule your policy defines. Cardholders can add memos + change GL codes in Ramp itself; the connector honours the final Ramp state when posting. Once approved, the transaction posts as an SAP B1 Journal Entry with the correct dimensional attribution — cardholder BP, cost centre, project, GL account — and Ramp's daily payment pull from your bank account posts as the offset. Close-of-month card expenses are done by the 1st.

Frequently Asked Questions
The ERPPlugs SAP B1 ↔ Ramp connector uses a per-customer trained model that starts from Ramp's merchant categorisation (which is already good — Ramp has classified millions of merchants across 25,000+ customers) and improves as your team confirms or overrides suggestions. Typical first-week accuracy is 85%+ on merchants with common categorisations (SaaS tools, travel, meals). After 4-6 weeks of training on your team's decisions, accuracy generally hits 95%+ and manual re-coding drops to a handful of transactions per month.
Ramp's spend policy engine can be configured to require a receipt for transactions above a threshold (typical: $75) before the transaction can be approved. If the cardholder forgets, Ramp holds the transaction in pending status and prompts them via email + Ramp mobile app. The ERPPlugs connector respects this — pending transactions are not posted to SAP B1 until Ramp releases them. So SAP B1 never has un-receipted transactions above the policy threshold.
Yes. Ramp's Reimbursements product lets employees submit personal-card expenses for reimbursement through the same Ramp app. The ERPPlugs connector routes these differently from card transactions — instead of posting a Journal Entry, it posts an AP Invoice against the employee's Business Partner, which becomes payable to the employee. When Ramp pays out the reimbursement, the connector posts the payment and clears the AP.
Ramp captures the foreign-currency amount + the USD-converted amount on every transaction (Ramp's FX rate). The ERPPlugs connector posts to SAP B1 using the USD amount for GL posting but preserves the original currency + amount as a reference field. Multi-currency SAP B1 setups can be configured to post in the transaction currency instead.
When a cardholder splits a transaction in Ramp (say, a $600 dinner where $400 is client entertainment and $200 is a team meal), the ERPPlugs connector posts two Journal Entries in SAP B1 with the same transaction reference — one to Client Entertainment GL, one to Team Meals GL. The Ramp UI is where the split happens; the connector honours it.
Yes. Ramp's Bill Pay lets you upload vendor invoices, code them, and pay via ACH + card. The ERPPlugs connector treats bill payments as AP Invoices in SAP B1 (posted against the vendor BP) with the payment posting as an Outgoing Payment on the payment date. This is separate from card-transaction flow but uses the same ERPPlugs infrastructure.
