Integrate 'External non-SAP Purchasing Application' with SAP SD for third party purchasing/ drop shipping?

What is the best way to integrate 'External non-SAP Purchasing Application' with SAP SD for third party purchasing/ drop shipping?
Details about expected process Flow.
Receive PO from customer into SAP > SAP SD creates Sales Order > ?? SAP Integrate with External non-SAP Purchasing Application to trigger purchasing > External non-SAP Purchasing Application creates PO, Ships Material to Customer Ship to address (drop ship), Sends Shipping confirmation (FCR) & Invoices to SAP> ??Receive FCR and Invoice in SAP > ?? Initiate SAP Accounts Payable (Vendor Payments) and Accounts Receivable (Customer Invoice) > ?? Update SAP SD Sales Order with shipping status>
Questions we need to answer;
- How to achieve '??' steps from above process.
- What type of Master Data we will need to configure (Say Materials Item Category, Type etc.)
- Any standards options to configure SAP SD (Type of Sales Order)
- We certainly don’t want to trigger SAP MM Purchasing (i.e. PR, PO etc.). How can we bypass it.
- How to make statistical receipts against sales order line items so that SO status will be updated.
- How to receive Invoice and FCR from External non-SAP app to trigger AP and AR transactions.
- Are there any SAP standard configurations/ BAPIs/ BADIs available to achieve this integration.
Any inputs on above questions are appreciable.
Anand.

This question is resolved. We ended up activating purchasing module and used purchasing documents PR/ PO to integrate with third party purchasing system.

In reference to this change in the Custom Reports... Better experience when exporting data - to prevent customer confusion when exporting data from Mac computers, we have removed the export to excel option and exporting in CSV format by default.
What is the customer confusion we are trying to stop here? I've got even more confused customers at the moment because all of a sudden they can't find the export to excel option but know it exists if they log in on a PC?

SAP Workflow integrated with Microsoft Outlook

Hello All,
I have the following question. When an work item comes in the SBWP inbox, as soon as the work item is executed by the user
the workitem disappears from the SBWP. Now my question is if SAP Workflow is integrated with Microsoft Outlook (so that email containing the work item as a link reaches Outlook), is there a way to make the email disappear from the Outlook as soon as the SAP work item is completed.
Can someone throw some light on the same.
Thanks,
Sachin

Hi,
Duet workflow scenario is available. SAP Application sends workitem to Duet Server and Outlook client has Duet add-in. You need Duet Server and user license.
Also SAP MAPI Service Provider is available. You can access SAP Inbox items from your outlook client. I think SAP MAPI Service provider is free.

Masa

QUERY RELATED WITH SAP HR CERTIFICATION

I like to do the SAP HR training . Myself MBA, working in manufacturing company having over 04 years of experience. As i am not into any IT related company nor having any prior experience or course related with computers, So, would be relevant enough for me to go for ILT from institute, and if yes, then would I be able to get job offer right after completion of course in MNC/ IT industry with good enough package though i know in starting i wont be able to get jobs with high package, but I dont have any idea about the placement criteria of MNC's for SAP HR candidates.
Also, kindly suggest me right institute for SAP HR training and which provide good placement in Delhi/ NCR region.

Hi Priyanka,
as you are itself remains a recruiter so i think you better knows what will be there, but as far as i concern you will be considered as an experienced professional having exposure to SAP, not it depends on the IT Company at some extent that they will take it as a fresher, but anyhow your experience will get counted.
When it comes to get Salary, you can get a handsome salary if they will consider you along with your experience, but literally saying some points.
1. As most of the IT companies has started outsourcing its recruitment process, so he will not take you as you have recruitment process knowledge (means generally they have already excluded recruitment to other firms) .
2. HR process in SAP involves process of recruitment, appraisals , payroll management and more generally process of PMS.
3. As job in Hr are always limited, as they are mainly hired through Campus drives, so little openings as a whole.
So, what i will suggest you to take the help of your contacts in getting a job when you complete SAP HR module, if you are not getting a good job in SAP HR in IT company, then you can look into non-it companies, because in non-it companies you will get more time to learn as there are no strict deadlines, as moving towards any new technology becomes handy in early days, so you can work for one more years in any non-it companies, where you clear all your doughts in SAP HR module, then if you will move towards an IT company, it will become more fruitful to you.

SAP workflow architect with 9 years, newbie to OpenText VIM

Hi,
I understand that unlike SAP workflow, most of the out of the box requests which clients come up in OpenText, are to be done by the use of ABAP classes and configuration. Please let me know a suitable place, where I could learn this or let me know, what exactly is to be done here.
Thanks!

Hello Vargesh,
Please feel free to ask any queries. I will try to answer your queries. You can even email me too if you a too many questions.

Triggering SAP workflow from non-SAP system

I am trying to use WF-XML to trigger a workflow in SAP from non-SAP system.
I have already created a workflow template in SAP and want to test the scenario if this will be really hit by the incoming xml message.
Questions:
1. How the data from incoming xml is tranferred to workflow container element? IF system does it, how is done? If not how to address it?
2. Do we have some tool here, to simulate this situation - to create a test xml incoming message with SAP and really see if that triggers the desired workflow template. Pupose is testing the scenario first in SAP and then going to the other system to test the real interface.
This is somewhat similar that we see in incoming IDoc. In Idoc we can simulate the incoming IDoc structure and test.
Is any one here who can guide on this?
Thanks in advance.
Rgds.

Hi,
You don't need a triggering event. In the xml it says which workflow should be started. You don't need a class to fill the container. The service does this.
I think there is a way to generate an example xml but I don't know exactly how. In the <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/54/de9e3887d6174fe10000009b38f842/frameset.htm">SAPHelp</a> there are some examples of the documents. Check also the entry above it about the creation of a WF_XML document. In the first and third example it shows a container element and its value (QUESTION).
Try to get a copy of the book "Practical workflow for SAP" by Alan Rickayzen. It has got a part about this.
Also check this link from the SAPHelp:

Integrating SAP Java Connector with SAP XI

Hi XI experts
We are about to integrate our SAP ERP2004 system with a new WMS system. The vendors of the WMS system normally integrates with ERP directly through SAP Java Connector, but we would like to put SAP XI between the two systems so we have good way of monitoring the messages beeing sent.
I would like to make a synchronous test scenario where we send a ARTMAS idoc from SAP to XI which sends it to the WMS. After WMS system receives the ARTMAS Idoc it sends an acknowledgement back to XI which passes it on to SAP.
The integration would then look like this:
SAP ERP <-> SAP XI <-> WMS (Jco)
Is this scenario possible? And if so, how would you suggest to set it up?
I was thinking of using the RFC adapter to connect to the Java Connector of WMS, but am not sure if this is the right approach or how it should be set up.
Any help or comments would be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards
Chris

I have made a setup like this:
SAP <-> XI <-> WMS
The Scenario is like this:
SAP sends an ARTMAS03 idoc to XI which maps it directly to the same ARTMAS03 idoc structure (need a few changes in the future so thats why im not using IDOC tunnelling) then it uses a RFC receiver adapter to connect to our SAP gateway, where the WMS is registrered through JCO.
When I first sent the idoc, i got a "RfcAFWException: failed to read funtionname from XML document: missing namespace declaration(2)" then after reading Q23 in note 730870, I used the RFCNormalizer xslt to change the namespace to a "urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:fuctions" instead of the "urn:sap-com:document:sap:idoc:messages". The error is now "functiontemplate from repository was <null>".
As far as i can see the error is because the metadata repository defined in the RFC adapter cant find the function module that normally would be in the root of a RFC-XML. But I dont know how I can send an Idoc through the rfc adapter to the gateway then. Anyone got some ideas?
Thanks
Chris

2. Once connection established, then you can transfer tha data from PLM- cProject suits to DMS.
3. You can also transfer tha data from cProject suite to DMS or vice versa through web.

CAreer in SAP BASIS comaprision with SAP GRC/Security

Hi Everyone,
I am an SAP BASIS consultant with 2 years of experience working in a MNC company,
I want to change my career to SAP GRC/SAP Security, i have some basic knowledge on SAP Security,
COuld you please advice me, which one to choose,?
Does SAP GRC/Security has demand , and can we get oportunities to work abroad compared to SAP BASIS ?
which one has more scope SAP BASIS or SAP Security/GRC ?
Because in BASIS, i am not getting enough scope to work on some good things like Installation, upgrades, Migration,
i am doing a very basic kind of work like tranports, job scheduling, monitoring, and other small activities ?
So request you people to advice me ?
<removed_by_moderator>
Read the "Rules of Engagement"

Hi Rakesh
I saw your post in GRC and was waiting of it to appear here
First up - 2 years is still junior. You may find batch jobs, transports, monitoring, etc all mundane but it is a foundation and learning ground work and foundations to being a good Basis Administration. And one things for sure, an awesome basic (I name my best-techy-friend) makes a huge difference on project timelines and deliverables for the rest of us.
Installation and Upgrades come with time. Whilst still performing junior tasks you could focus on reading up on approaches in case an opportunity in your job comes us and be prepared to prove to your management that you are ready for a bigger responsibility.
Switching to GRC/Security would be pointless unless you have a desire to learn GRC or Security. These are my background and they are undervalued until things go wrong (insurance policy in a way).
If you do switch you will reset your 2 years of domain experience back to 0 and you will start off with password resets and basic user administration
It takes time to work through the ranks. It was 3 years before I got to build my first role. I spent my first few years in security on email chasing approvals, password resets, user account creation, running reports for audit - sounds familiar to what you are doing now?
You have to master the basics before you are trusted and ready for the more complex activities. By knowing what you are doing now you will be more successful when the time comes to step up and do migrations, upgrades and installations. Support production by mastering you technical analysis skills is how you can break through being a fresher/junior
Regards
Colleen
Ps - if your motivation is more than "good things" happy to answer questions specific to security and GRC.
Also, boring doesn't mean it can't get interesting nor does it mean it's a worthless activity: SPAU transport imported before patching!!

What is BC SET in SAP BASIS related to SAP Security.....................

Hi All,
Please explain me what is BC SET in SAP Basis which is related to SAP Security.
Can anyone explain in detail...
Thanks Much.
Swapna.D

Hi
Prerequisites
You want to create a BC Set from a transport request. A transport request containing Customizing data must already exist.
This Customizing request is a change request with which you can copy and transport the changed system settings.
The BC Set is based on the data in the Customizing request. You can copy all the data records in the Customizing request into the BC Set, or select a subset.
You can subsequently edit BC Sets created from transport requests.
Procedure
Enter the Customizing request number and Continue.
You can search for requests with the F4 help. The request type is Workbench/Customizing requests. The request status is changeable or released.
You get an overview of the transport objects in the transport request. To put a transport object in the BC Set, flag the row Copy.
The Status column tells you the BC Set-compatibility of the transport object. It can have the following values:
·        green traffic light: The transport object can be put in the BC Set.
·        yellow traffic light: BC Set creation or activation problems are possible. Check whether all data records have been put in the BC Set, after you create it.
·        red traffic light: Table entries exist, but they cannot be interpreted. They cannot be put in the BC Set.
·        Cancel: The transport object cannot be interpreted or put in the BC Set.

Configure Sap NetWeaver MDM with Sap Netweaver XI

SAP NetWeaver MDM communicates with SAP NetWeaver XI by writing an XML file into a directory on a file server.
Can someone gives me an idea about the path of this file server? How can I configure it?

Hi Stan,
In addition to that Harrison told you,if you want automatic syndication of records ,then you must have to use syndication server.In case of syndication server the path of output file is always fixed and you cannot configure it.Path will be as follows:-

SAP MDM Root Directory\Server\Distributions\<server name> \ <Database instance name>\<Repository name>\Outbound\<client System code>\<Output Port Code> \Ready\
If u want scheduled syndication of records(i.e. in batch mode) ,then u can use syndicator batch.And for manual syndication ,use syndicator .Both of these components will syndicate file where ever u want/specify on the file system.
For more details about syndicator batch
