Somewhere i read that we need to manually develop XML string and using HTTP client and we can using this.

Hi,

Yes there is no easy standard solution to consume web services from SAP R/3 4.7.

If you are adventurous, you can write a specific program using the http client.

There is an example program in help.sap.com : 3 full pages of abap source to call a very simple web service. Not recommended in my opinion...

What we did in my company, was to write a .NET program (with SAP .NET connector) which is a a registered RFC server and calls the external web service.

From the abap source you just call an external module function. It works great but you need .NET programmers...

One other way, would be to use SAP PI to do the same.

Hi,

You should learn how to use the SEARCH command on help.sap.com.

It took me at least 30 seconds to find the URL....
