Integration with SAP Records Management

Dear SAP gurus,
We are in SRM 7 EHP 1 with backend ECC 6 EHP 5. We are exploring PPS (Procurement for Public Sector) feature in SRM. We see that using PPS we can have integration with SAP Records Management. To be honest, I never see SAP Records Management so we want to confirm the functionality. Our legacy system require a electroning filing system, in which all documents related to procurement is scanned (whether it is document from system, or the one created manually), and then stored in a server in a pdf format.
Does SAP Records Management have this functionality in which it stores the pdf doc inside one server? If not, what is exactly the functionality of SAP Records Management?
Best regards,
John

Oracle Meter Data Management Integration with SAP ISU

Hello Everyone,
I am aware of the fact that Oracle has released a Media pack for the subject integration as discussed here and that media pack works only for SAP ERP 6.0 EHP 5 with ISU_AMI_2.
We have got OU MDM Release 2.1 Media Pack v4 and SAP ERP 6.0 EHP 4 with ISU_AMI_1 and hence Adapter in MDM won't help to achieve integration with SAP as our SAP EHP is lower than what is required for the MDM adapter. We have got SAP PI which would help the SAP End in the integration.
What are the possible work-around(s) to achieve the integration between Oracle MDM and SAP ISU without using the Media Pack/Adapter?
How does MDM exposes its services (inbound/outbound) to be consumed/triggered by External systems (i.e. SAP ISU)?
List of Services (inbound/outbound) exposed by Oracle MDM for integration?
Your time and help is much appreciated.

Did you find the document Oracle Utilities Customer Care and Billing - Meter Data Management Integration Implementation Guide?
I searched on eDelivery and Oracle Support, but cannot find the document.

Integration SUS with SAP Invoice Management

Hi,
We are implementing the SUS portal (Supplier Self-Service) of SRM, together with SAP Invoice Management by OpenText. When you create an invoice in the SUS portal, it is send to the backend (ECC) as an IDoc of type INVOIC01.
We can read this IDoc into SAP Invoice Management (SIM), through the IDoc interface, for which we have mapped the data fields in the configuration of SIM. This works fine for most of the fields, but we have difficulties with two fields.
The SUS portal seems to put the ISO code of the unit of measurement (UOM) in the IDoc, but SIM expects the internal SAP UOM code. Similarly, the Service Entry Sheet number in the IDoc is only the external reference number, and not the internal SES number (which SIM needs).
Is there any way to configure these fields (either in SUS or SIM), without having to make a conversion function module? I ask this question, because my client is really hesitant when requesting to make a development....
Many thanks in advance for any suggestions that you make!
Kind regards, Paul

Hi Paul,
If there is no way to change it in SUS (which I don't know as I don't know SUS), then I don't think there is an option other than using a own development for the conversion. Either using a conversion function module or using a custom business rule which does the conversion.
Do you use the standard delivered function module /OPT/DP_INBOUND_IDOC_PROC as the processing FM? If not, maybe you could do the conversion in the processing FM (provided you already use a custom processor).

Martin

Brief discussion on SAP XI and its' Integration with SAP MDM.

Hi,
I have never worked on SAP XI.
I am discussing it on brief, please give your valuable replies.
SAP XI consists of System Landascape Directory(SLD).
SLD Consists of Business System and Techinical System.
Technical System contains all information about the software
component. The Business System consists of Inbound and Outbound Business
System which are used as logical names for data transfer.
There is communication Channel for Receiver and Sender Business System and n agreement
is signed between Sender and Receiver.
Outbound Interface defined for Business System Outbound and Techical System associated
with the Business System,
Inbound Interface defined for Business System Inbound and Techical System associated
with the Business System.
In SAP NetWeaver XI Integration Directory, we have defined the Integration Scenarios,
Actions, Interface Objects, Mapping Objects, Adapters Objects.
Mapping Object defines the Structure and Value Mapping.
Adapter Objects defines the Adapter program which implements RFC Adapter, FTP Adapter logic.
FTP Adapter is used for XI-MDM Communication.
RFC Adapter is used for XI-ECC Communication.
Integration Repository: Both Outbound and Inbound Interfaces are Mapped with Value mapping and
Structure Mapping inside Integration Repository.
The File Adapter takes the File from the Outbound port of MDM System
and sends it as IDOC to Receiver Business System.
Value Mapping must be done between Sender and Receiver interfaces.
Value Mapping is done by XSLT or Java based program.
SAP NetWeaver XI Integration Server at runtime:
Message Split, Interface Determination, Receiver Identifaction, Mapping, Techincal Routing
and Call Adapter Proccess are done.
In SAP XI 3.0 and MDM 5.5:
Step 1: Create busines system as service.
Step 2: Create communication channel for each business service. If the system can communicate
through different channels, then create all possible channel types if necessary.
Step 3: Create receiver agreement between the systems.
Step 4: Interface determination:
- Here you see for the first time the software component mentioned;
there are some special requirements regarding this software component in relation to the customizing ID mapping.
- To modify this software component, the customer needs to copy the SAP standard delivered software component
into its own namespace. The customer is able to modify to create archives
for the customized ID mapping.
Receiver determination.
Configure an FTP Server on the MDS.
Create a send folder for outbound messages using outbound port(s) for
remote systems(s).
Create receive folder inbound messages using inbound port(s) for remote systems.
This ia all about concept of SAP XI Infractsture and its' Integration with SAP MDM 5.5.

Kaushik Banerjee

Hi Kaushik,
You must be aware of File types that MDM Import Manager can Import i.e. we have XML, Excel etc. Now there are two transactions to extract data from R3
1. MDMGX -
         - For lookup table extraction
         - Output in XML format which MDM can import without using XI.
          - FTP can be configured to put the file in the desired folder which will be then picked by Import Server.
2. MDM_CLNT_EXTR -
          - For Main table records.
          - Output is in Idoc format which MDM doesn't understand hence we need XI in between which converts Idoc file received from R3 into XML which can then be imported using Import Manager or Import Server. For this we need to implement XI Scenario that consists of Source System, Receiver System, Type of Data etc.
Just a basic understanding...

How can I create a model node in SAP Records Management

Product: SAP Records Management
Hi,
I would like to create a model node in a record tree.
I found in the function modul BAPI_RECORD_ADDELEMENT no entry for the creation of a model node. Only the instance and the structure node can create by this function modul.
So, does anyone know a solution to create a model note?
Regards,
Thomas Fanninger

Hi Thomas,
it is not possible with the BAPI due to the piece of coding:
case myElementType.
        when glob_const_elem_type_instance.
          myRecordElement->Type_Set( if_srm_sp_record_element=>type_instance ).
          myRecordInstanceElement ?= myRecordElement.
          loop at element_sp_poid into myElementSpPoidWa.
            mySpPoidWa-id = myElementSpPoidWa-name.
            mySpPoidWa-value = myElementSpPoidWa-value.
            insert mySpPoidWa into table myElementSpPoidTab.
          endloop.
          myElementSpsId = sps_id.
          myElementPoid = myClientService->poid_get_instance( im_rms_id = myRmsId
            im_sps_id = myElementSpsId im_sp_poid = myElementSpPoidTab ).
          myService->check_sp_connection( myElementPoid ).
          myRecordInstanceElement->poid_set( myElementPoid ).
        when glob_const_elem_type_folder.
          myRecordElement->Type_Set( if_srm_sp_record_element=>type_folder ).
        when others.
          perform set_error using '852' return.
          return.
      endcase.
But you can do that by using directly the Records API. How to use this is demonstrated in the report 'SRM_RECORD_API_HOWTO'. Search there for the subroutine 'fillrecordelement'. There a record element for insert is created and its type is set. You can set the type there to 'IF_SRM_SP_RECORD_ELEMENT~TYPE_MODEL'. Of course your POID then may not be an instance POID.
Best regards,
Thomas

Digital signature in SAP Records Management (SAP Netweaver Folders Manager)

Hi experts,
I have a record with various documents and I want to implement digital signature in documents (Transaction: ORGANIZER). I read in IPS640 SAP Manual that there are a button (key symbol) to do this but I don't have this button. Can you explain me how to implement this?
A lot of thanks in advance.
Regards,

Hi JV,
You need to define the repository in OAC0 transaction. As per my analysis now your document are stored in sap database.
If you are using separate serever then confuigure as follows in OAC0:
Document area : SAP Records Management
Storgae type : RFC Archive
define IP address and port. Then goto CSADMIN and activate the certificate for the same.
or if using SAP Database then make the changes in above areas.
Then these archived documents will get saved in content server instead of sap database.
Hope this will help.

Ravindra

Hi Neil,
We have exactly the same problem. We installed a new SAP E-Commerce system on Microsoft Windws 2008 R2 with TREX Version 7.10.43.00. The TREX connection is okay. Also the catalogue replication works without any problems. The SAP support means it is a permission problem on the IIS.

Time device integration with SAP TM

Hi,
Can anyone guide me to integrate a hand punching time device with SAP Time management such that the time events can be recorded on batch processing from the device and validate it in SAP and generate the reports. We are working with SAP 4.7 version.
Would really appreciate some tips.

Hi,
First of all check if there certified interface between your time recording system (that collects data from time devise) and SAP. If so, then use this interface.
Otherwise you have to develop interface.
1. Create extract program from time recording system.
The extract file from time recording system should contain employee ID, time event and time.
- Employee ID corresponds to Time recording ID in IT 0050 in SAP
- Time event corresponds to Time event type in IT 2011 in SAP
- Time corresponds to Time field in IT 2011.
2. Then create batch input utility that will update IT 2011 on regular basis.
Cheers

Third Party Recruitment Software integration with SAP HR

Dear Experts ,
Iam given a scenario where in the client wants the Erecruitment software Taleo to be integrated with SAP HCM.The HR recruiters/Managers are currently hiring them into the taleo software and from there the data need to be pushed to the SAP employees's infotypes.
In Addition to this the benefits infotype need to be maintained automatically in the system.Is there any way to automatically default the benefit infotype also
Kindly suggest a solution for this.
Regards
Gopa

You will need interface(s) between Taleo and SAP....If Taleo is your recruiting system...then they may want...
Outbound from SAP: Interface that sends them vacant position data from SAP (you need this so that when Taleo sends you finally an employee data after hiring they can send you the position data with it).
Outbound from SAP: You may also need to send them terminations from SAP (optional - may be needed depending on your company process for handling rehires)
Inbound to SAP: This is the main file from Taleo after offer is accepted and employee is hired in Taleo. At this time Taleo will send you a file for which you can write an interface to hire these employees into SAP. You can do a BDC session with PA40 - you may have to determine if its a hire or rehire here. If you are processing payroll then its important to make sure you have all the payroll related info types (if they are not coming from Taleo then you should at least have them defaulted to what your client agrees).
The second part to your question
Creating benefits depends on how you are getting or determining benefits data.
1. Benefits configuration has something called automatic/default plans...
>>> "Automatic" plans are something employee is enrolled into and has no option to change them.
>>> "Default" plans are something employee is enrolled into on new hire and typically has 30 days to make changes...this is standard configuration for each plan and should be completed.
If it is controlled via benefits config then you just need to go through hire action...and typically as part of that hire action - IT0378/IT0171 will prompt you to go to benefits enrollment screen and enroll employee...into these automatic/default plans...plans will be pre-selected based on configuration. So all you do here is hit save and continue with rest of hire action. All this is recordable via BDC session.
2. If it is NOT controlled via configuration...and you are getting benefit plan details in the file then you just create them in the corresponding info types...IT0167/0168 etc. For processing sanity I would separate hire and benefits creation as two step process if all the data is coming via files...
Happy interfacing...

Is the system being used internally only or do you plan to expose it to the Internet? Based on my past experience I would focus on architecture design, security including vulnerability scanning, performance, interoperability (especially different browsers and browser versions) and usability (neither the BSP nor the WDA UI is that user friendly). Of course if the system is used only internally, the involved effort is smaller.

TPM recommendation to be integrated with SAP

Hello SD experts,
I'm researching a TPM (Trade promotion Management) software for our client to handle their promoitons and to be able to accurately forecast sales - which can be integrated with SAP.
The TPM module SAP provides is very expensive. i'm looking at differenct vendors like Gelco, Adesso, MEI, Synectics. Would appreciate if any of you experts could give me a brief understanding or any experiences with the same and what was the effect it had on the entire integration process.
Thanks for all you continued support and propelling SAP further.
Regards,
Larry

you can place (install) the help files on any machine you want, at least it has a web server on it.
you can then specify the "Server Name" and "Path" in SR13 to this server (e.g. Server Name = mywebserver.mycompany.com:1080, Path = helpdata)
the clients open the associated program to the extension of the files (in case of .chm and .html it would be most likely the Internet Explorer)

Difference btw SAP Records managements and SAP DMS?

can some one pls tell me wat is the difference between records management and sap dms...
thank you.

Hi Vivek,
perhaps some remarks to SAP Records Management. SAP Records Management (and SAP Case Management) is a powerful infrastructure for creating cross-component application since you can organize any SAP and Non-SAP information object as a record (tree) in a role based view.
One classical application is the HR personnel record. You collect documents (archived documents as well as DMS documents (with versioning)) together with personnel master data and other information. For each employee there is a record instance.
Another application is a machine record for a machine producer. It is a collection of SD objects and of engineering documents.
A record can also be business partner record collecting information about the business partner and for example other records that refer to the business partner.
Since SAP Records Management is designes as a Service Provider Framework you can integrate any kind of information objects both in SAP and in non-SAP systems.
So, also SAP DMS services can be wrapped as SAP Records Management service provider and hence be used in SAP Records Management applications.
The focus of SAP DMS is the handling of engineering documents and their behaviour in production. Based on SAP Knowledge Provider it is more a document management service.
SAP Records Management is stressing the aspect of building cross component applications and their business flow. SAP already provides a lot of standard service providers but you can also build your own service providers and hence integrate your own objects.
For more information, see the documentation and get a first flavour by starting the transactions ORGANIZER and SRMREGEDIT.
By the way in contrast to SAP DMS, SAP Records Management is part of NetWeaver.
Best regards
Torsten

Error message is 'The Request Error : 400' with SAP Download Manager

MS Word integration with SAP CRM: can a PDF be created from the MS Word doc

21/11
Gurus,
I know have a better understanding of the topic but still have 2 open questions.
I now know that StreamServe cannot read .DOC files but can read and work with .PDF files.
Since we are in a SAP forum and not a StreamServe forum,
1/ I am wondering if SAP CRM 2007 can convert the MS Word generated and populated documents into .PDF. Possibly immediatly.
2/ Can the MS Word generated and populated documents be saved by SAP CRM 2007 as .XML files?
Thanks again.
Dear All,
On my project, there is a requirement to generate ad-hoc and amendable letters in CRM (2007).
We might have +150 letters so I am thinking about using MS Word integration with SAP CRM to deliver this.
With SAP CRM 2007, I understand that it is indeed possible to generate WebServices that will then be consumed by Word templates through the mail merge functionality. So agents will not have to enter BP name, address and so on. All this can be done by configuration which is great.
My point of concern is how to integrate this design to StreamServe for printing purpose (we do not want to go into local printing)
Can StreamServe collects the Word generated document?
Should this Word document be converted as PDF before or can StreamServe do it?
Should StreamServe exploits the XML contents within the Word generated document?
Thanks for your help and insights about this.
Brice.

Hi Chris,
    Your advice helps me a lot, thank you.
    I upload an XML-Format template Word Doc to server as a MIME Object.
    When OfficeControl is started in Web Dynpro, OfficeControl automatically open the XML-Format template.
   For the first time, I get the XString-type Context attribute bind to the content of the Word Doc,
   then translate it to string, I got the XML-format content, it's great!
   However, after the first time, when I input any new contents in MS Word in Web Dynpro,
   no matter I execute "Ctrl + S" or click the "savedocument" button,
   when I translate the XString Context attribute to String, I got messy code. (but the first time, it is good plain text)
   I use the function module: ECATT_CONV_XSTRING_TO_STRING (good for first time, dump after first time),
   SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY, SCMS_BINARY_TO_STRING (good for first time, messy code after first time).
   My Demo source code is in: (system) SMV --> (local object) zhaode --> (Dynpro Component) ztest_office_control
   core source code is as:
   clear itab.
CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY'
    EXPORTING
      BUFFER = lv_datas
    IMPORTING
      OUTPUT_LENGTH = lv_length
    TABLES
      binary_tab = itab.
CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_BINARY_TO_STRING'
    EXPORTING
      input_length = lv_length
      mimetype = 'text/plain; charset=utf-8'
    IMPORTING
      text_buffer = lv_datas_string
      output_length = lv_data_len
    TABLES
      binary_tab = itab.
    Can you give me some advice?
Best Regards,
Derek
