EDI with XI

Hi all,
In case of a project , where the decision between Seeburger and the conversion agent is not yet taken by my client.
I would like to test and create the flow manually.
But i need an external definition or XML file or XSD schema for a purchase order, DESADV and invoice.
Has anybody experience with building the flow manually (without Seeburger or the conversion agent)
is somebody so kind to send me up an example of these three edi types where i can map the idoc to.
Thank you in advance
Regards
Gwen

Hi Michal,

thank you

Cust sends EDI with incorrect payment terms

Hello SAP Gurus-
Do controls exists in SAP ECC 6.0 that will place orders on hold once customer sends order via EDI with incorrect payment terms? We have situations where customer is remitting EDI with net 45 and in customer master the payment terms are net 60.
They are going through the system and we don't know how to stop them. What can we do to control this? We would like the order to go on hold so that we can manage without the orders print and shipping. Is this a configuration change? If so, where?
Thank you!!

Hi,
In your payment Terms configuration, you need to enter 11 in discount percentage 2 as blank and discount days 2 as 11. Then system will not calculate discount from the 11th day. If you dont enter then system will populate the discount even after the discount date is over.
Hope this helps

Replace EDI with XI-Webservices

Hi,
We currently have a scenario where we sendinf bill of lading information to the railroad for shipments going out of XYZ plant using EDI 404. Now our receiver party also have web services, and we want to use web services with XI. Is it possible to replace EDI with webservices?
What would be the approach? What information we should know from receiver party about thier web services?
How about security? Should we able to do it with XI-Webservices over the DMZ's? Any information on this would be very appricate.
Thank you,

Event when logistic invoice gets in the sys. through EDI with status cod 03

Hello Gurus,
I am trying to find the event that gets triggered when an incoming EDI logistics invoice gets posted/created in system with status code 3 (error status). I know that I can go to transaction SWELS to find the event using event trace.
The problem is I cannot create such a test scenario manually i.e logistic invoice in the system with status code 03. So I was woneding if someone cal tell me if it would be event
incominginvoice.created or incominginvoice.posted in business object BUS2081 when the logixtics invoice gets crated/posted with status code 03.
Thanks.
Regards,
Rajesh.

Hi Rajesh,
The events triggered when an IDOC goes into error are associated with the inbound process code.
Have a look in transaction BD67 for your process code, e.g. INVM under the IDOC section you will see the object and events that are invoked when any error occurs.
Is that what you are after?

SD EDI with many partners / best practice

I need some input on how best to approach a large EDI project.
We will be accepting orders from about 80 customers. Each one will be drop-shipping products from our warehouse to their customers. I've set up the config for one location to take advatange of the EDPAR ext/int customer conversion table. The IDOC uses the sold-to party as the KU type partner profile name (ex. 237661) which allows me to use the EDPAR conversion. I'm able to get the IDOC processed now through to the finished order.
Question: How do I scale this? Is this the best way to handle 80 partners? If so, I will have to have one EDI translation per sold-to. Should we really be hard-coding a sold-to account# as the partner profile name at the EDI translation level or is there a more generic way to handle this?
It seems like there should be a way to say the partner profile for this customer group is EDIGRP01 and then use the incoming sold-to (ext. customer#) to determine which IDOC partner profile to use OR use user-exits to make that logic happen. I want to use the configurable best practices here but it sure seems like a lot of work with hard-coded account#'s to boot.
Thank you for your thoughts.

Reynolds, the partner profiles are to identify the message type and process code and then function module to post the idocs. These partner numbers will not be used anywhere else. for creating sales orders you need sales area ,sold to and shipto numbers,and material numbers.
These three values will be converted using the EDPAR and customer material info records.
Could you please explain why the validation for customer number is required?
If you really need the customer validation sales order creation automatically do when determining the sales area or material number.
I question for you. what configuration you did for automatic conversion of external partner numbers into internal customer numbers? does this is used for outbound
idocs as well? i am doing some outbound messages for orderacknowledgment.
where i need the external partner numbers to be passed in idoc and edu message.
but the automatic translation is not taking place? this is also not happening for inbound also for me? Could you please tell what i am missing?
Please mail me at [email protected]
Thanks for the help.

EDI with separate ISA and GS versions

Hi All,
We are trying to integrate our customer with one of its trading partner using EDI. The sample file available from earlier web methods implementation is little perplexing.
Sample file:
ISA~00~ ~00~ ~ZZ~PARTNER ~ZZ~HOST ~140302~1106~U~00204~000002621~0~P~<
GS~PC~PARTNER~HOST~95908~20140325~1106~2~X~006020
ST~860~000000238
Please note that version code for ISA segment and GS segment are different.
My question - Is such scenario is possible in oracle B2B ?
If yes, how do we setup the spec ? ( I tried with 6020 860 and 2040 envelope, it does not work )
Thanks in advance

It is "ecs" file itself which is used for validation and translation in Oracle B2B. As part of Document Definition, you should upload only transaction set ecs and interchange and group ecs are pre-seeded in the product however if you want to customize them, then you may override them as well.
From the back-end you should pass only transaction set (ST to SE) and Oracle B2B will add the envelope information (Group and Interchange) by itself.

Anuj

EDI with 3rd Party warehouse config question

I wasn't able to find a bettwr formum for an EDI question, and since most of them seemed to be posted to this forum, here I go....
I am trying to configure a 4.6 system to be able to exchange EDI documents to a third party warehouse. We want to send them a message to ship product and to receive a message confirming what they shipped. This will be related to outbound delivery documents in SAP.
I have setup a Logic System representing the warehouse, a new output condition to represent the outbound notification to ship product and the partner profile for the Logical System.
When I try to create the output for the delivery (I entered Output: LD03, Medium: 6, Part Func: LS, Partner: WHSE3RD and Language EN) I get the
error message: "You cannot enter a partner function for output LD03" (VN041).
f I don't enter the partner function, it gives me the message "Partner function does not exist in table TPAR" (VN046).
Any ideas as to what I am missing?
Thanks, Rick

Hi Richard,
Have you setup LS Partner Profile (t/code WE20) for WHSE3RD, distribution model (t/code BD64) and record condition for output type (t/code NACE)?

Problem with Sender Agreement for EDI File to Idoc scenario

I'm configuring PI for EDI with Seeburger Adapter (Calling as a Module) and I'm having an issue with the Sender Agreement using File Adapter.
Process used is File to IDOC. EDI data will be picked up from VAN (Using existing FTP process rather than using Seeburger FTP) and stored in a folder which is being accessed by PI to send to R/3 to create orders.
All my inbound EDI will be stored in same folder which should be picked up by XI and distribute the same depending upon the respective scenario's in ID and respective mapping/config in IR.
The whole process IR & ID works fine and also creates Idoc in R/3, if I configure for one customer for EDI 850, but when I try to configure for second customer for same EDI 850 having same ANSIX12 version (V4010) as previous customer, I get stuck at the Sender Agreement part for this second customer because I use the same CC for File read for both the customers (Scenarios) and since there is a limitation with File Adapter "sender channel must not be assigned to more than one sender agreement ".
How can I create the Sender Agreement using the same CC for my other scenario?
I tried creating multiple CC for different scenario but when I place a test file for customer A, I see that its being picked up by both CC's.
Pl Advise.
Thanks!

You need to configure splitter as module in sender file adapter (classifier->bic->splitter) as well as define a message splitter(with partner number and Seeburger mapping) in Seeburger workbench.
Thank you for the reply Aamir,
Do you have any document which can guide me through the process?
Does Seeburger Workbench play any role here? because I'm not using See FTP adapter to connect to my VAN. We get the data from the VAN using FTP process but not using See FTP. I'm using BIC to generate an XSD and SDA file, rest everything is in XI using File to idoc and IDOC to file process.
Thx

Replacing EDI subsystem with SAP XI

Hi Everyone,
I have a scenario in place where i want to replace the EDI subsystem with SAP XI.
I know that using Content Master is one of the solution but i have also heard that Content Master is having some license issues. Now after Content Master what is the next best solution for parsing the EDIFACT and X12 format files.
Thanks and Regards
Rahul Nawale

Hi Rahul,
SAP Conversion Agent by Itemfield is a data conversion system that enables you to create interfaces between any data formats and XML-based systems. The Conversion Agent can convert unstructured, semi-structured, and structured formats to XML, and the other way around.
Have a look at these links:
/people/william.li/blog/2006/03/17/how-to-get-started-using-conversion-agent-from-itemfield
/people/paul.medaille/blog/2005/11/17/more-on-the-sap-conversion-agent-by-itemfield

Seeburger EDI Adapter provides an EDI solution on internet via HTTP or AS2 to replace the expensive VAN. It provides some pre-built mappings for IDOC to ANSI X12(810,850,855,856 etc.,) and Idoc to EDIFACT(ORDERS,DESADV,INVOIC etc.,) and has the ability to build your own. These pre-defined mappings transform the IDOC-XML to EDI-XML format.
These transformed EDI-XML messages are then converted to EDI specific format using the Seeburger's BIC(Business Integration Converter)adapter. In addition, Seeburger provides adapters like AS2,FTP(EDI specific) and so on to route these EDI messages to external EDI Partners.
For more i would suggest you to go through these links:
http://www.seeburger.it/fileadmin/it/pdf/2005_04_sapphire_Ferrero_transcript.pdf
http://www.seeburger.com/fileadmin/com/pdf/Butler_Group_SEEBURGER_Technology_Audit.pdf
http://www.seeburger.com/fileadmin/com/pdf/AS2_General_Overview.pdf
Seeburger EDI Adapter leverages SAP XI's Adapter Framework. This Adapter is used to perform conversion between EDI and XML format. It also provides some canned EDI layouts and the ability to build your own. It is used to transfer the EDI message via HTTP or AS2 protocols.
The most direct way of using the Seeburger adapters is to configure the BIC as a module. There is a software component from seeburger called bicmapper which will allow you to do the following:
1. define or import the inbound message metadefinition in various formats ( edifact, xml,...)
2. using a mapping create an xml variant as the output metadefinition or edifact in the other direction.
3. create a one to one mapping between input en output.
4. export the metadata in xsd or sda format for import in XI.
5. generate an SDA which can be deployed in XI and used as a module.
Please go through the following links which clearly explains what you want and it also helps you in understanding the same in depth:

http://www.sap.com/asia/company/events/nwtechdays/presentation/australia-slides/Pre-Built_Integration.pdf
There are also a few ways to use EDI with the ALE system of R3.
inbound EDI to R3
1.use a 3rd party adapter for the EDI protocol(eg.SEEBURDER) from the EDI system,send the produced XML to the XI ,map the xml message to a matching IDoc using the IDoc adapter.
outbound ALE message from R3 to EDI system
1. Configure the ALE system to point to the XI the relevant IDoc (SM59,WE21,WE20...)
2.use a file adapter3rd party EDI adapter and map the fields to the target structure.
have a look at this example:
http://www.ean.se/EANCOM%202000/iftmin/example.htm
Details on how to configure can be found on SDN
I hope this helps....

[SAP XI] EDI orders posting job to SAP R/3

Hi everyone!
I would like to know if SAP XI has the capability to directly post EDI orders in SAP R/3 wherein IDocs are placed. If yes, how? (Please describe the process in detail)
In normal EDI implementation (AI, 3rd party translator used), batchjobs are created to be able to post EDI orders. The AI/3rd party translator are sending the IDocs after conversion from customer format order file to the specified UNIX directory in SAP and batchjobs will post these as EDI orders that can be viewed in WE02/WE05.
In SAP XI direct connection case, all IDocs received are automatically posted in SAP R/3 without having a batchjob executing this. However, orders are not successfully posted as there is an authorization issue** (user/system/technology posting EDI orders are not allowed to create an EDI order) so we need to determine which user/system/technology are executing the job (posting of IDocs to an EDI order).
Please advise. Thank you very much!
Fred

Hi,
U can do the send EDI data into SAP using third party tool or adapter(Seeburger) or by using the conversion agant.
U need to have the XSD for the EDI structure and EDI data should be flat file.
Check some links on Conversionagant and Seeburger.

Purchase order distrubution using EDI

Hi, SAP gurus!
I am trying to set up Purchase order distrubution using EDI. ORDERS idocs will be sent through middleware message broker. I added ORDERS idoc in LS partner profile outbound data and set up medium type 6 for PO output. Something else is missing since I can't add manually output to a purchase order - error message VN032: "Maintain outgoing EDI-connection data for partner"
"Short Text
Maintain outgoing EDI-connection data for partner &
Diagnosis
The system could not locate the EDI partner agreements (outbound) for partner .
System Response
You cannot use transmission medium 'EDI' with this partner.
Procedure
Maintain the EDI partner agreements for partner . Make sure to create entries for output control as well as for outbound parameters."
What else is needed besides outbound idoc data in partner profiles?
Maybe I have to do everything completely different?
Thanks!

If it's an EDI interface, you should be using a trading partner partner profile type (KU or LF) ... a customer or vendor ... not a logical system, although you can use LS it's not really an optimal solution and you need to create more generic configuration to generate your IDocs from your business documents.
I cover configuration of output control for outbound EDI invoices in a series of blog postings at:
