IBase integration to backend ERP system

Hi! We have set up configuration in CRM to create an installed base and create/assign objects to it (part of object family). Now, I noticed in SMW01 that some BDocs are generated and am curious what is the purpose of this? Does it create a product and function location (if it relates to the ibase in CRM) in ECC?
Can someone shed some lights on this as I am totally new to this iBase thing?
Cheers!
SF

Hi SF,
usually equipments are created in ECC and transfered to CRM. When changing the object in CRM a delta load is performed and the changes are send back to ECC. That is reason why the bdocs are created.
Please find more information using sap help:

Central contract distribution in two backend ERP system

Hello All,
I am implementing SRM 7.0 Contract management (SAPKIBKV07) with two backend ERP system.
We have a requirement where we will create a Global contract in SRM system. Upon distribution based on purchase organisation this contract should get distributed to two different backend system.
Q-1) Is this a standard featutre available with Contract management or de we need set up some configuration. If yes, then please let me know the details.
Q-2) Again here the master data for both the backend system is not synchronised hence if a Global contract in created in SRM system and distributed to two different countries then each contract in ERP should have the region specific vendor code ?
How this functionality can be achieved.
Thanks,
Yatin

Hello All,
Has anyone implemented contract management with two different backend system and with different master data set up

Need a Data Integration for multiple ERP systems

We are doing some research into a data integration layer to our BW 7.3/BOBJ 4.0 from multiple ERPs. Of course we are looking at Data Services and Information Steward in the BOBJ suite but just looking for anybody's recommendations on the topic.
What technology platform do you use to do the extract, transform, load processes from multiple backend sources into BW? Any you would advise us to avoid?

Hello Edward,
The answer depends on multiple factors.
Some pointers:
Volume and growth of db in scope planning (Federation vs replication )
If data federation is where you want to move data services / BO tools will be ideal
If your data is coming from multiple ERP systems you can utilize there delta queue to load data via data services (in case of SAP)
Use native DB connect/UD connect functionalities in BW as with BW 7.3 its delta capable.
Moving to BW 7.4 you will have SDA to solve that problem of integration to Non - SAP data into your EDW landscape
These are pointers but I would say talk to enterprise architects and look into the foresight of wheyare you want to move your EDW platform.
Cheers!

PI Integration between SAP ERP system and Cloud for Customer

Hi,
We have set up integration between Cloud for Customer tenant and our SAP ERP system via PI.
For performing initial load, when we try to activate change pointers for Message types in the SALE transaction, we don't find the MATMAS_CFS and DEBMAS_CFS in the ERP system(IDES ECC 6.0 EhP6).
CODERINT 600(SP1 &2) are installed and BC set COD_BYD_ERP_INT is activated in the system.
Could anyone let us know what are we missing here, so that we can get the message types.
Also we tried using Message type MATMAS for sending a message from ERP to Cloud for Customer. In PI message monitoring, the status shows as 'Processed successfully', however we do not find the message in Business Communication Monitoring in the Cloud system. neither do we see the Business Object created for that Material master.
Please let me know how to debug such a scenario.

Un-encumber Funds in Backend ERP System

Hi,
This applies to an SRM 5.0 extended classic system linked to a ECC6 backend.
We have some corrupt and complete POs in our SRM system for which we would like to un-encumber the associated funds in the backend system.
Since these POs are complete and in error, we though that we could release the funds by updating the POs in the backend system using BAPI_PO_CHANGE.
I set/updated the PO item's 'NO_MORE_GR' and 'FINAL_INV' fields in the backend system but the funds are still allocated when viewed via KSB2.
Anyone have any idea as to what other fields need to be set in order to unencumber the funds?
Regards,
Jerry

How to integrate a sales process across multiple ERP systems with SOA?

Over time we have merged with multiple companies that used to run on their own ERP system. In the past we concerted them to our own R/3 instance. Having recently upgraded from R/3 4.6 to ERP 6.0, we want to transition to a SOA architecture for integrating stand-alone ERP systems. We are looking for best practices on how to start this transition; i.e., how to use SOA to implement an Order-to-Cash process across separate ERP systems.
Here is our scenario:
The same products are sold through ERP system A and ERP system B. However, each system represents a different company code with its separate manufacturing plants. Both systems evolved independently and presently have separate master data. How do you enable a sales process that dynamically (depending on inventory availability) gets the product either from a plant on system A or B? How do you implement a triangular sale that covers both ERP systems?
I am looking forward to learn from your experiences and your advice.

Hi Bernard,
Like most SOA scenarios, first your scenario requires a detailed fit gap analysis to see which of your existing ERP systems best meet which business process that you want to accomplish at an organisation level. It is only after that, that you can decide which capabilities of SAP SOA can you leverage and how.
Broadly speaking, SAP's SOA paradigm provides several approaches which you could use depending on your scenarios. For example, if you only need a brokerage between two or more systems (updating or retrieval of data) either synchronously or asynchronously, your best bet is PI (preferably 7.1 because of its ESR and Services Registry). On the other hand, if you require a new application that acts as a controller of flow or processing across various systems, you could use the Composition Environment which provides you with a toolset to build composite applications across various systems (for instance, by registering services from multiple systems on the Services Registry, and then consuming it from say a WebDynpro application).
The following document might provide you with more insight on this:

MDM Integration with ERP system

Hello MDM Guru's.
In our system Landscape, use Baan ERP system to fetch data into MDM, cleanse it and push data to SRM/BI system for Business Requirements.
Our MDM is neither connected to any R/3 (ECC) system. we want to have a kind of Reports developed for MDM Data present in our system based on Companies (our Manufacturing sites) and have a automatic mapping of our Manufacturers , Suppliers & Customers based on Global and local Stratergy.
According to my understanding, we can use MDM API's (ABAP or Java). As MDM is not integrated with any of the ERP (ECC or Netweaver Data base)?
We have options to integrate MDM with ECC 6.0 & Netweaver system. Which could be a better option to connect with? we are planning to integrate MDM with E-Portal too, could Portal data base be used.
Please guide me.
Thanks in advance
Cheers
MSR

Hi Srihari,
If you want to use MDM in you landscape and store and cleanse data in it and then sent the cleansed data to a reporting tool for analysis then you can do it in one of the methods:
- Either connect MDM to the other systems in your landscape using XI as the means of data trnasfer
- Or connect MDM to other systems using the API.
In the first method.you need to use PI/XI to manage the flow of master data to and from your MDM system to others. MDM can be used for data cleansing and enrichment within MDM before syndicating it out.
In the second method you can connect to MDM through other systems using the API.
As you mentioned about reporting on the master data in MDM based on the Companies or manufacturing sites etc.You can achieve this suing MDM ABAP API.
ABAP can be sued as a reporting tool.wherein it will connect to your MDM system through the configured API and fetch the MDM data and generate simple reports .
If you wish to access the MDM data online you can use portal front end. but in this case portal wont be capable to store any information as it is just a front end.
You will have to use MDM as a backend storage system.JAVA API can be used for futher customization on EP.
For ABAP API use you can refer the below link:

Communication between PC/RM Backend and ERP System

Hi,
Is it possible to have communication between PC/RM Backend and ERP System by cresting RFCUSER with user type communications data instead of Dialog user.
Because of audit policy , none of DIALOG user should have SAP_ALL profile.
Is there a option to set up communications between PC/RM Backend and ERP System without a Dialog user setting.
Pravin

Hi Pravin,
You are right and the user should be always communication or system. GRC AC allows for the user to be communication or system. Can you try with PC/RM RFC user and see if it works? It should work

Dear Dr. Word,
I am a graduate student of MIS at Northern Illinois University. I took Dr. Yipeng Liu’s course of Advanced Topic of Information Systems using your textbook - Integrated Business Process With ERP Systems. Your textbook is great. I have a question to discuss with you.
On page 62 of your textbook, I don’t think the accounting process of purchasing supplies is correct. In the example, “GBI purchases office supplies for $500 with a check. Office supplies are expensed; that is, they are defined as money spent rather than treated as an asset upon purchase, even if some of the supplies remain unused. In this case, the relevant accounts are bank and supplies expense.”
Actually, supplies unused are assets of companies. Otherwise we don’t need an account called supplies at all. In the given example, I think we should credit $500 to bank account and debit $500 to supplies account. If at the end of the fiscal year, we used only $300 supplies, then we credit $300 to supplies account and debit $300 to supplies expense account. This is the typical process of supplies accounting.
“Office supplies are expensed; that is, they are defined as money spent rather than treated as an asset upon purchase, even if some of the supplies remain unused. “ This practice actually goes against the Matching Principle of General Acceptable Accounting Principles (GAAP). It’s not a good example especially in textbook, even though lots of companies are doing real business like this.
I am looking forward to hearing your thoughts of my comments on supplies accounting of your textbook.
Best regards,

SMSY define ERP system with Process Integration instance

Hello,
We have connected new installed ERP system (ERP 6.0 EHP3) to central SLD (SAP SM EHP1).
But we can see the strange situation.
SMSY define automatically this ERP system as the system with Process Integration instance but not ECC Server instance.
We have not installed Usage Type PI in the ERP system.
Also we have old ERP system in SLD. It is visible as SAP ERP system with ECC Server instance.
What is the strange behaviour of SMSY? What should we do and how can we correct this definition in SMSY?

Hi,
Check what you have selected as "Main Instance" in SMSY under tab Software Components.

SAP Sourcing 7.0 integration with SAP ERP - issue with SAP PI

Hi All,
We are integrating SAP Sourcing 7.0 with SAP ERP 6.0 with SAP PI 7.1 in middle. So the Sourcing will talk to PI and this intern will talk to ERP. Sourcing is on oracle 11g where as PI and ERP are on SQL 2008. All these 3 are on windows 2003 x64.
We are following the "Configuration Guide Integration of SAP ERP and SAP Sourcing 7.0" provided by SAP.
We have successfully configured Sourcing and PI systems as pe the document. In Sourcing, by using background jobs we are able to successfully generate files in "export" folder which is part of FTP directory.
However the issue is with PI, we configured the "configuration scenerio" in Integration builder and point all channels to the FTP folder in Sourcing. But PI is not picking up these files.
Is there any way to trigger this in PI system. Or do we need to do anything in sourcing itself.
Regards,
Siva.

Hello Siva,
I am thinking that you may need to deploy FTP adapter in PI to get this process work fine but not sure.
Let's see what other experts suggest.
Thanks,
Siva Kumar

Error when publishing a supplier to ERP system

Hello experts,
I am implementing ESO 5.1, SP9 with Integration Package to a ERP 5.0 system.
When trying to publish a vendor to the ERP system, I am getting the following error in ESO:
"Unable to create the file: \Vendor__20110823172054719.xml"
System provides no further information, and can't find anything on ESO logs.
I hope you can point me in the right direction as to how I can get this issue resolved.
Thanks!

Hi,
if you are using FTP, make sure the property is ftp.temp_dir is configured to point to the right path. if not, in the Integrated System Config object, make sure the Export Directory value is maintained. Make sure the path/folder you maintain here is on a shared drive so that it can be accessed from all application servers in the cluster.
