Hi Experts,

Could you please explain in detail how the mapping and routing are achieved between ERP - XI - SNC

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Standard mappings are provided by SAP for most scenarios. You can use the standard mappings if it suits the business need. Otherwise, you can copy the standard mappings and update according to the business need.

Mapping for ERP->XI->SNC:

You would trigger IDoc or send data using proxy to PI/XI. PI/XI would then map this data to the xml message structure of SNC.

For example, PROACT.PROACT01 IDoc from ERP is mapped to an xml message of type ProductActivityNotification. You would map IDoc fields to corresponding fields of xml message of type ProductActivityNotificatoin. Constant values, conditions etc. can also be used in mapping.

In some cases SAP (with later release) can send the xml structure needed by SNC. Mapping in PI/XI is not need in these cases.

Mapping for SNC->XI->ERP:

SNC would send data in xml message structure to PI/XI. PI/XI would map this to IDoc or proxy structure of ERP. Constant values, conditions etc. can also be used in mapping.

Review the stadard mappings for more information.

Routing:

You can have static receivers or determine receivers based on the data at runtime.

Hi Vinoth,

I would suggest to visit [SAP Supply Network Collaboration (SAP SNC)|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_snc70/helpdata/EN/b4/f20483605b0d4fa856354a986e900d/frameset.htm] on help.sap.com.

You can go to the business process for which you would like set up the integration. Under examples, you can find how the message flow takes place for that business process.
