Interfaces to legacy systems

Looking for pre-configured BAPI to transfer SAP Project Systems data to external legacy system oracle based. Please help.

For the interface to legacy systems, you will have to decide on an approach: BDC, BAPI or Standard SAP program. For most of our interfaces to FI, we use standard SAP program RFBIBL00.

Interface from Legacy system to Sap

Hi all,
I worked in the functional design and implementation of an interface that works to update sales order from a legacy system to Sap
Now after some test, i receive the ok to move all the program in production enviroment
I'd like to know and to be sure of all the step to be checked and needed. The mail one for sure are related the data. So I checked all the custom table I created for this purpose.
Please advise me If I'm missing some important step
Many thanks for your help

I'd like to know and to be sure of all the step to be checked and needed. The mail one for sure are related the data. So I checked all the custom table I created for this purpose.
'The mail one for sure': What mail one?
'Custom tables': Why did you create custom tables? Don't you just use a BAPI to update / create Sales Order?
What do you mean by interface? An RFC (remote enabled function module)?
In general: Everything you have developed for this, should be in a transport request. I you want to check this, go to the package you created for this development in transaction SE80. Start from the (RFC) interface and check everything this function module needs to function like data elements, domains, structures etc.
You do need to create new rfc destinations in SM59 (in case you are updating sales order via RFC interface.
Haven't you moved it from development to quality before?

This is regarding interface from legacy system to SAP

Hi All,
We have trasferred the one file from legacy system to SAP, and it was created a session in SM35, it contains 1000 errors.
we don't want correct those errors and these entries should be delated, could you please let me know are these errors can I see in any error table in SAP, is this facility is availbe in SAP or not?
becuase it isl very difficult to go and delete the entries one by one in sm35
Regards
Nama

Hi,
1) No updates will have been done for the items with errors.
2) Mark the Batch, then press F2 to call up the analysis. You can check here for the cause.
3) If you are not going to correct the items or the cause so as to post them, just delete the batch.
Kind regards

Item import to oracle inventory from legacy system

Hi,
We have a requirement where we need to import a very large number of items (close to 500,000) from a legacy system to oracle inventory.
We are using oracle open interface for this. We have designed a temp table for this purpose in order to validate data before moving it to the oracle interface tables. The data to be migrated is present in a separate data base and we need to move this data to Oracle temp table.
Can we use DB link to migrate this kind of data(in terms of volume)? Also what are the best practices that need to be followed while importing data to Oracle inventory? Is there any other way that this can be done?
Please share your thoughts and suggestions on this
Thanks
AM

Hi,
Some times DB link will fail, Please create custom package and try to interface with legacy system for periodically fetching the data into your tables. If the data is bulk please use API instead of Interface tables.
Thanks.

Interface between Legacy and SAP for Equipment Master

Hello
I got a requirement where I need to develop a interface between legacy system and R/3 system for Equipment Master Data update in R/3. I am thinking of getting a Idoc file from Legacy and then update the changes or any new creation of Equipments in R/3. I found a standard BAPI for this BAPI_EQUIPMENT_CREATE/CHANGE. This BAPI use a strcture BAPI_ITOB for data record of IDoc. But I got more data from legacy except what we have in BAPI_ITOB. I got Partner Data, Classification data also for Equipments. I am thinking of copying the BAPI to a Z function module and modify the Idoc structure , message type and all to capture all the data and then do a update in same way as standard transaction IE01(Equipment Create) is doing in Batch Input. Do you think if there is any better way of doing this? I am not used to transaction BAPI . just wondering if we Can use that in someway to include our modification?
Thanks
Harkamal

20,000 is on quite higher side for IDOC.
IBIP help doc says it needs 2 Kbyte for each record, i.e. 40 Mb for 20,000 rec. that should be ok. Since it has structures for Partner & classification data , I don't think u need to modify the BAPI.
Transaction IE01 - Create equipment
Transaction IE02 - Change equipment
Structure - IBIPEQUI Equipment record
                 |->    IBIPNSTA     New status profile if necessary
                 |->>   IBIPSTAT     User status records

IDOC/BAPI for Production order creation from Legacy system

Hi all
We are using an interface to create Production orders from legacy to SAP. Would you recommend an IDOC or a BAPI to create Production orders. If IDOC or BAPI then could you please mention which one?
thanks a bunch

Hi John,
For your purposes, please use BAPI for production order creation from legacy system. There is no standard inbound IDoc available to use. SAP has an IDoc for outbound interface only (message type LOIPRO).
If there is an inbound IDoc available, I would recommend to use an IDoc.
IDoc technology has excellent error handling and will allow you to reprocess an error (if any).
BAPI is also good approach to use and fast in term of processing.
For BAPI approach, you can use BAPI BAPI_PRODORD_CREATE.
Hope this will help.

Ferry Lianto

How to bring 'Firm' Purchase Orders from legacy system through PDOI

Hi
we are interacing the purchase orders from a legacy system through Open Interface i.e PDOI.
Here i have to enable the Firm_Flag for all these PO before converting to oracle. I found that there is a column firm_flag in po_headers_interface table , but when i am populating taht column to 'Y' also, the firm flag at the PO window , by clicking the Terms button, is not reflecting.
Please let me know why PDOI is not picking up the value at the header table. Any help is really helpful.

Data Migration from Legacy System in CRM

Hi All,
We are going to Implement a new CRM project, I have a problem with LSMW(Legacy System Migration Workbench ), I have some Conversion Objects of CRM and I need to know whether Data Migration is possible or not, please tell me how to find these Objects and how to know Data Migration is possible or not.
Objects are like.,
1. Accounts
2. Actuate Reports
3. Active Campaigns/Campaign Content/Dispositions
4. Contacts
5. Contracts
6. Opportunities
7. Payment Arrangement History
8. Payments
9. Premises
10. Rate Changes
11. Security Deposits
12. Business Partner Relationships
13. Web self-service information
14. Usage that has been used for quotes
15. Tax history information, including AXCIS
17. Service Requests
18. Service Order History
19. Security Deposits
20. Reference Values
21. Rate Changes
Can anybody please tell any transaction code in CRM where can I find the Data migration for the above objects is possible or not.
Thanks in Advance,
Sai.

Hello,
for migration into CRM I would suggest the 'XIF-Interfaces'; these are interfaces provided in CRM for connection to external systems. I'm not sure if this will cover all objects mentioned above, but at least some of them should exist.
Some information about existing interfaces can be found in the integration repository under http://ifr.sap.com/index.html; from the start screen first select 'Enter the repository' and then have a look under 'generic components' and 'SAP CRM'.

Creating a business partner using data from a remote legacy system

Hi Experts,
I am trying to make an interface for creating a business partner in SAP CRM from customer data created in a remote legacy system. I want to map the fields in XI.
But to create a customer I need a RFC or a BAPI or maybe an IDoc, that includes all fields for business partner creation and can create a new business partner from the data.
I have identified an RFC that have the structure of the BDoc BUPA_MAIN. This RFC is called: CRM_BUPA_MAIN_CRM_IN
But I am not sure if that RFC can be used for Business Partner creation.
Can anyone tell me if that RFC can be used, or if there are other RFC's, BAPI's or IDoc's that can be used for remote creation of business partners (they have to include all fields of the Business Partner)??
There are a few BAPI's that include some of the fields for BP creation, but making several calls to different BAPIs from XI to CRM is not an option (I thought the BAPI: BAPI_BUPA_FS_CREATE_FROM_DATA could have been used, but it lacks some of the data fields needed for creating BPs).
Thanks in advance,
Torsten

SAP CRM 7.0 connected to Legacy system

Dears -
we have the requirement to connect our SAP CRM system (7.0) - that is a brand-new installation NOT to ECC, but to a legacy system.
We have planned to implement custom interfaces to replicate the masterdatas. Doubt is: can you point out which are the Best Practices / Building Blocks in order to perform the configuration in SAP CRM without being it connected to ECC.
Every reply is greatly appreciated.
Teresa

> Do you have a sort of best practifce with all the customizing steps need to be done by hand?
This depends on which scenarios you use and what you plan to do with the system. CRM is pretty complex and VERY big so there is no BP guide, especially not if there's no ERP ABAP backend. I'd start SPRO, use the standard IMG and start on top.

Adjustment of inventory between SAP and Legacy system

Hi Gurus,
Here is the scenario:
1) One plant within a company code is in SAP and the other plant in a same company code is still in legacy. Since both of them are Not in SAP, I cannot do an STO. But, ROH materials need to be moved from the legacy plant to the plant in SAP. I cannot treat the legacy plant as a Vendor, since we are Not paying them. But, still, we should make sure that the inventory needs to be devaulated by the monetary value of the goods taken out and the other inventory (plant in SAP) needs to be enriched by such monetary value.
2) Similar situation as above, but between 2 Company Codes of same controlling area. Here one Company Code is in SAP, other is in legacy, but, when the other company code will be in SAP, it will be under same controlling area. The two companies are under one business. Some type of intercompany transfer (netting) needs to be done. Here, I have to treat the legacy company as a Vendor.(but modifying bank details)
I understand, that it may not be possible in standard SAP, but what type of custom developments should I put up ? Any type of custom movement types? How should I set up the Vendor Master (in case of second scenario, the bank details to involve the netting thing).
Any type of information is very valuable and I would be indeed very grateful.
Thanks,
Kumar

For requirement 1, I suggest you keep track of the inventory acct for legacy and SAP system as separate acct to simplify reconciliation. Once this is done, you can use transaction MB1C movement 561 (or a copy of this movement type). This movement allows you to enter transaction amount in local currency as well; if this is not available, you can customize this through configuration for field selection of movement type (OMJJ). So through this posting, you can enter corresponding material, plant, quantity, and transaction amount that's passed from legacy system. In the account determination, you can set the opposite entry for inventory acct as the inventory acct from legacy system.
You can then setup an interface that periodically extract GI txn on legacy system, and another interface that performs BDC or call transaction on movement 561 (or a copy of this movement) on SAP system

R/3 - (RFC) - XI - (File) - Legacy System

Hello there,
I followed a document to setup SAP XI to/from external systems.
I did a setup that execute bapi QIRF_SEND_CATALOG_DATA from R/3. Then, it uses RFC to transfer data to XI, and store as a file @ Legacy system.
When I executed the BAPI with the RFC destination as created on R3, it failed.
Besides, when I check the message monitoring at XI Runtime Benchmark, it shows an error as :
     ErrorCode:ICF-NF-http-... HTTP 403 Forbidden.
I believe I activated ICF engine service.
My question is "do I have setup Single Sign-on" for XI or is that optional?
I followed the instruction call "How to Configure SAP XI to use the standard SAP communication APIs (idoc, bapi, rfc) from external systems".
Any comment is appreciated.
Thank you very much.
TBLuong.

Again, I follows an scenario to execute an bapi at R3 using RFC to IS, then put as a file at Legacy system.
On R3, I did some setups:
    - created an RFC type TCP/IP with gateway hostname and id pointing to R3, and a reg Prog ID named CC_RFC2XI.
    - call Trans: SXMB_ADM to setup Intg. Eng. Config with the role as Appl System & Intg Server point to http://<host>:<port>/sap/xi/engine?type=entry
On the Intg Dir:
    - created comm. channel from R3 as SAP_2_EXT_RFC as sender with the hostname as R3 host and gateways, and also Prog ID named CC_RFC2XI.
    - created comm. channel for Legacy system as SAP_2_EXT_FILE to stored file as .txt file at legacy system.
    - created Reciever Determination with condition as BAPI execution condition
    - created Interface Determination for interbound interface.
    - created Sender Agreement.
    - created Receiver Agreement.
- I activated /sap/xi/engine from Trans SICF and also insert user login and password.
I tested the connection for SM59 from R3 and it's ok. However, after execute the BAPI with the destination RFC as created, I got the error message above.
Please tell me what else I am supposed to do.
Again, I really thank you so much for all your time and help.

Read data from R/3 to Legacy system

hi
1. Does SAP store its master data in logical databases?
2. Where can i find Bapi's to read data (master data )from R/3 into legacy system?
3. Which is better - Bapi or Idoc?
Thanks.
Points will be awarded.

U need the 2 technologies ( BAPI ( interfaces inbound/outbound) + IDOC ( files data transfer )
Instead of Idoc, you can also built your own extract ABAP in specific files
Take a look at the 'BAPI' txn
Hope this helps,
Erwan

How to handle FI posting configs. if FI is a legacy system

Hi Experts,
For a new implementation of SAP HR Payroll, can anybody tell me, how to handle the FI postings configurations, if the Finance System is a legacy system and not on SAP?? Do we need to maintain the G/L Accounts on SAP system or not? And do we need to do all the configurations related to FI postings in HR module? And if the G/L accounts are not maintained in SAP, then what do we do with symbolic accounts??
Request you to please reply at the earliest, and oblige.
Appropriate points will be allocated for the answers. I am sure your inputs would be of help to me.
Thanks and Regards,
Ashish.

Hi Ashish,
You may have to design and develop an interface to read the FI posting details from tables - bsis, bseg, skat etc., from SAP HR system. Prepare an output file with debit/credit postings and send it across to Legacy system. You may have to provide options to create files for different postings like Offcycle run,3rd Party remittance. For that matter anything that you want to post it to FI side.Lot of design efforts needed. Collective effort from both IT & Business.

Importing PO Receipts from Legacy Systems

Hi guys
My client has asked if it is possible to take approved/receipted
purchase orders from a legacy system and upload them periodically into
Oracle eBS - 11.5.8. That is all that is needed - there are no
amendments or anything coming thru from the legacy system.
If it is possible to provide the base material/ high level scope for a proposal for us to implement then it would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Mike

Hi,
Do u need to upload approved P.Orders from legacy systems into apps?
tehn we can use Interface programs for that for periodically.
Create one concurrent programs by using interface tables.
and make to run in the specified intervals.
Is this ok?
