How to push out messages from SAP/PM when creating/updating order?

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am doing an XI certification and would like to have a scenario where I create a workorder (IW31) in PM, this should be sent out (as an IDOC?) to XI.

I would like it to be sent to XI, not having to poll SAP/PM for orders, what options do I have?

I have looked at the PM-WOC interface with the IORDER01 and the IORD transaction, these looked very promising but seems to be obsolete and are not recommended to be used. What should I use instead?

I also want to update the order from the external system, this however, seems easier as the external system will send a message to XI and from there I can call an interface, would appreciate a pointer to which interface to use for this though..

Thanks!

Anders,

Have a look at the SAP standard BAPIs via TCode BAPI.

Thanks for your answer.

I have looked at the BAPIs but what about the "pushing" orders out of PM?

As far as I understand the BAPIs for pm orders needs you to poll/search for orders? (like OrderheadGetlist and OrderGetDetail)

Anders,

Either way, I think you will need to code something to automatically trigger a data interchange between the two systems..
