Business Objects, external services and application services in CAs

Hi All,
right now we are developing our first eSOA Composite Application with CE and I have some questions regarding Business Objects, the import of external services and the development of application services.
As I understood there are two ways to provide business functionality for composite applications:
a. Import backend functionality as an external service (e.g. BAPI, RFC) at the CAF, build the application service which can be used as a callable object for UIs or the GPs
b. Develop a local Business Object (in CAF) providing the business logic, create the application service which again can be used as a callable object. Furthermore the application service can be exposed as a Web Service (external service).
My questions:
1. When is it appropriate to to import external services in stead of developing local BOs?
2. Under what conditions is it advisable to (solely) develop local BOs?
3. What are the advantages / disadvantages regarding the reusability of the services (in option a and b)?
Note: We are developing on NetWeaver 2004s.
Please let me know, if you need more information to answer the questions!
Thanks for your advice in advance,
Regards,
Ivonne

Hi Ivonne,
first of all, the CAF Business Objects (BOs) itself don't contain any business logic, they're basically just local database tables (with some CRUD services on top).
Business logic is implemented in Application Services (AS).
Now, regarding local BO's vs. external services, it depends on your use case. If the data is already available somewhere in your backend system it makes sense to use external services. For instance you wouldn't want to store business partners all over different composites. For data that is specific to your composite (in particular configuration, customizing etc.) and not likely to be reused by other applications you should use local BOs.
Accessing local BO's is also much faster than calling external services.
You can do reuse in both scenarios, since the CAF services can be exposed as web services.
Regards,
Christian

External Service Generation - WSDL not accepted

Hi,
I am struggeling to import my WSDL into the CAP SP 8 in the NW DevStudio.

After reading the SAPNote and comparing with working WSDLs I came up with that WSDL:

No I receive the error "Cannot convert MP Service Definition SAPOrder_PortType into MMR External Service. Reason: Program Error: Unexpected MP data. IStructure struct instance have to be of type IElement."
Well - for me that does not help a lot.
Has anyone an idea what I am doing wrong?
and BTW: I have the impression that CAF but also XI and VC heavily struggle to work with external WSDL. Does anyone know whether SAP is going to improve their products somewhen towards real-life applicability?
Thanks for any comment!!
Cheers.

Hi Ankit
I had managed to solve the problem with a workaround
1) I created an Proxy Project to wrap XI WSDL file in it
2) Then created EJB project to call wrapped XI web Service
   from ejb method. I then exposed this ejb method as web service
3) Finally created ear for ejb and deployed it on Web Application Server
4) now create External service project for the new wrapper web service it will get imported sucessfully and build and deploy also goes sucessfully
The difference this workaround does is that we do not have to consume XI webService directly which has little different structure and instead we consume wrapper web service which is generated out of an EJB and is available on JAVA stack your web service itself
CAF has no problem importing External services when they are hosted on web server JAVA itself
Hope my explanation convince you to go with this workaround
Thanks

External number range for service items?

I want to create Purchase order with services using BAPI. Is it possible to set external number range for the extrow / introw, so that if I need to change a service line item, I will be able to find out which service item needs to be changed.

It depends on whether you have a service master or not.
1. If you have service master, then there will be a service number (just like a material number). You can use that identify which one has to be deleted.
2. If NOT, then they would still send the text for the Service lines (I guess this will be unique for each line item). So, you will have to identify the line to be deleted by that.
Makes sense?
A question - You are saying you will get information to update the PO, but how does the system know which PO to be updated, how are you going to identify which PO needs to be changed?
Regards,
Ravi

Hi
T165A is used for 'Services Pricing'.
Please note that for Services PO, you will have two pricing schema.
1) At PO-Item Level : RM0000 (or whatever you define in schema determination in Purchasing ->Conditions IMG and assign in your vendor master)
2) At service line level : Based on settings in T165A.
If you check in Services level conditions screen and click on Analysis, you will find that ZS0001 is triggered.

I need information on my bill, for the last two yrs, how do i go about looking for it

i need information on my bill for the last two yrs, how i go about looking for it . thanks\

The last 12 months' worth can be obtained via your on-line MyVerizon account; look under View Bill and use the drop-down to select the appropriate bill. Anything prior to the past 12 months would need to be obtained via Customer Service; there is a charge (I believe $5 per copy, but I'm not sure).

Hi Gajesh/ Sujit/shyamal/ all
we are planning to use service master for external vendor's service, i have couple of questions
please share your experience, if anyone of you come across this kind of requirement
1. is it possible to create an inspection lot for external service?
2. we want to capture / validate the vendor's external service, weather it is accepted or not? sometime we need to enter quantitative value also
3. is there any setting or config for assign /create inspection lot for service master?
what I know is without material master we cannot create inspection lot but i don't know about service master.
thanks
Sami

Gajesh,
thanks for quick response.
2 business req. are as follows
1. vendror is performing periodic service, MM side external service order (service contract/PO)created, bsaed on thatPO vendors performing service.
service entry sheet they are capturing man hours and date of service.
business wants quality of service to be captured in QM inspectiion lot.
2. production order ---> routing -- operation ---> vendor & service PO number assigned external work --> now inspetion lot will be created for that material/production order.
how can we link service master, service entry sheet and inspection lot?
how to map for this req.?
again is't possible to create inspection lot for service master?(without material master)if your answer is yes, then where/how can we assign inspection type ? which inspection type?
thanks

Billing for External Services to Customer

Hi All,
Please advice how to bill customer for External Services like civil work etc.
My client uses services from external companies so if they have contract with customer for that,after completing the work they want to bill it to customer ,pls advice.
Muzamil

Muzamil,
If you are using projects, you can create an external or service activity depending upon whether you are entitling the vendor to perform some work or a service. Once you create and release the network activity, a purchase requisition is created, which then will be converted into a purchase order by your purchasing department. The purchase requisition/order commitment will appear on the network activity (project) and when the vendor sends you a goods receipt/invoice (depending on configuration), your project receives the cost. Then, depending on how you are billing your customer, you could incorporate these costs also into your customer billing.
If you need further explanation on billing, please write back with details about how you are billing your customers currently (if based on a project).
Regards,
Venkat.

Combination of GR/IR control not allowed for external services

Hi,
I need to uncheck the field GR-Based IV (EKPO-WEBRE) in the SERVICE PO but I receive the message :
"Combination of GR/IR control not allowed for external services"
I want to allow the user to receive Invoices (MIRO) before the Service Entry (ML81N).
Thanks.
Carlos Durazo

HI,
This is a "hard coded" option and cannot be removed.
If you want to be able to post invoices for services before the GR (acceptance) then you could consider using "normal" POs for these (without item category "D") abd use material masters (DIEN material type) or describe the service in text.
External services POs are only really suited to complex services or services that need a two step GR process (Service entry and acceptance).
Far too many organisations use the service entry sheet option when "normal POs" would be far better.
