Sending IDOC creditor data to an external System

[michael_swistowski]

Hello,

I have a scenario where I send the creditor data from SAP to non-SAP System.

For SAP System as a target I can use the TA BD14 to do this. This is working fine. But this is not my case, I need to send on non-SAP System.

So what is the right solution for sending to an external non-SAP System? With BD14 I can only send to logical system what for me is only SAP System (right?). My workaround solution is to maintain the external non-SAP System also as logical system und choose the port as Data-Port (data will be saved on file system). Is it the best solution or there are more better known?

Where can I obtain more knowledge on intergration of external non-SAP Systems? The documentation that I have covers in 95% the issue of SAP Systems. Intergration of non-SAP Systems (or sending data to non-SAP Systems) ist more difficult as I see.

Thank you in advance. Best regards.

Michael

Thanks a lot for all your replies.

The issue is that currently we dont have PI/XI Server but only ERP...However I will use your advice in case we already are in use of PI/XI...

Integration between SAP and NON SAP. Use SAP Middleware PI for this. Do configuration between ECC and PI for passing idoc. There are plenty of document in sdn for this. Send IDOC to PI and from PI send the data as per the target system requirement. PI supports mulitple ways of sending/recieving data format.

Hi,

In order to send data to external system and if you have an middleware used in your landscape then

create logical system for that system and associate the port with RFC destination (based on middleware used type 3 ot type t) can be used and idoc can be sent to middleware and middleware can take care of sending the data to the external system by converting it into required format..

These are normal scenarios for which Middlewares are used for integration..
