hello, which API or mechanisms should we use for system to system communication? E.g. for exporting or fetching/updating orders or customer data? We tried GlueAPI, but there it seems the permission is always limited to the customer's objects (user which is given via the token). Is GlueAPI the right API for such back-end "external" system to Spryker system calls or is there another API? how can we maintain e.g. such system users who have access to e.g. fetching all orders? General topic is: what's the best practice for exporting Spryker orders and customer data to SAP ERP and the way back updating order status or customer data ERP to Spryker.

    Custom, as there is no backoffice-API in Spryker yet. Connecting export APIs to the OMS is a nice way of handling it.

    We use the not longer developed Zed API therefore.
    It’s not more than a simple layer to access the database and authentication and authorization has to be implemented in the project code.

    seems to me like a generic requirement to a Commerce OS. I think in most scenarios it is necessary to export orders in some way to an external system. Any plans to do this on the roadmap?

    AFAIK there is nothing on the roadmap yet.
    I would suggest to create a feature request for Spryker's product management team here - https://spryker.ideas.aha.io/ideas/new.
