proALPHA ERP

Connecting proALPHA to BatteryPass with a file export until an interface is confirmed.

Not checked: a REST interface with an OpenAPI description is mentioned by third parties only. Until the vendor confirms it, plan with a file export.

This page describes an integration pattern. BatteryPass ships no connector for proALPHA and has no partnership with the vendor; nothing here is a vendor approval.

A file export is the safe way: a scheduled report or a small middleware writes the serial numbers of finished production with the column names of the generic-csv preset (GTIN, serial number, manufacturing date, facility, model version, battery status). The middleware uploads the file with a key that has the import scope only; members commit and approve it in the portal, as in units from production.

Import presets

Generic CSV file (generic-csv): For any ERP and for files a middleware writes itself: GTIN, serial number, manufacturing date, facility (name or GLN), model version and battery status, with German and English column names.

Workflows

  • Units from production: Serial numbers from the production confirmation or goods receipt are staged as an import; members review, commit and approve before any passport appears. Key scopes: import
  • Passport links back into the ERP: The middleware follows the change feed and writes the GS1 Digital Link and the passport status to the serial number record in the ERP, so labels and delivery papers carry it. Key scopes: read
