I would say like you would integrate any external system to Citect SCADA, you have several options.
In my experience with SAP integration the following ones are commonly used: - file exchange (input/output) through Cicode scripts, e.g. for product master data. - database exchange, still through Cicode scripts using the built-in ODBC support, e.g. for production reporting.
In both cases scripts can be run periodically on a server process (e.g. Trend server).
The "best way" really depends on the nature of the data, the volume of the data to be exchanged, the frequency at which SAP expects/generates the data...
There are more options but personally I prefer the simple & battle-tested 2 solutions above when possible.
