POSDM Integration PI 7.1

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

We have come up with Integration requirement , with systems like SAP IS-Retail, POS ,POSDM and PI 7.1. With my little understanding , i am thinking data flow would be like

POS> PI->POSDM and

IS-Retail->PI> POS ( still not finalysed.. pl clarify if it otherwise dataflow)

Also please suggest :

1) If data flow would be like as mentioned , then how data syncs from POSDM to R/3 automatically( any settings to be done by PI consultant ) .

2) what type of adapters we can use for above requirement..?

3) If my design is correct , will webservices works on above requirement.

Please suggest if any best approach is available ...

Awaiting for your suggestions.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi

Is it possible to integrate without a XI(pi)?

Hi Suman

Normally you would have a scenario that looks like this:

POS (TLOG) -> SAP XI/PI -> POS DM (Resides on BI) -> SAP Retail

1) The data from POS could be sent on a transactional level to SAP XI/PI which converts data and send as either IDOC or BAPI to POS DM (Normally only stock movements and sale transactions). Whether the transactions should be sent to BI or SAP retail and when, is something that is configured in POS DM.

2) You can use many adapters for a configuration scenario like the above, but IDOC, RFC would be some of the recommended.

See the following blog for more info on POS DM IDOCS: /people/uwe.beister/blog/2006/05/02/sap-pos-dm-which-type-of-idoc-should-be-used-in-pos-dm-inbound

3) If webservices would work, depends on factors as your setup, POS systems etc..

Hope that clarifies some of your questions. Otherwise try to search for POS DM integration here on SDN

Hi Suman ,

Highlevel Point of View Your Scenaraio Looks like

BW->XI----->ERP(R/3).

1) Develop Abap proxies in Sender Side to pull data from POS System.

ABAP Proxies act as a Adapter .

2) To update data in POSDM System Use IDOC Adapter in Receiver Side.

to use IDOC Adapter you need to configure some details in R/3 as well as XI.

like sm59 rfc destinatiopn,port,idx1...like i think you know this steps

Dear Suman

Typical POS Integratione involve the following scenarios:

SAP (TGM) POS system to SAP NetWeaver BI system (POS DM)

SAP (TGM) POS system to the SAP ERP system (your IS Retail)

Usually IDOcs and standard proxies are used for achieving the integration.

If there is a scope for usage of webservices, you can use them.
