MM System - XI - SUS

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am configuring scenario: create PO in MM system and send to SUS.

<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erpsrm2004/helpdata/en/94/488e41392fb65fe10000000a1550b0/content.htm">Scenario - Step 3</a>

<i>The purchaser creates a purchase order based on the purchase requisition. The MM system sends this purchase order to the SAP Supplier Self-Services (SUS) system via SAP Exchange Infrastructure (XI). A purchase order is automatically created here for the supplier (role: order processor).</i>

<b>Doubts:</b>

1) I am unable yo understand inbound part of SUS, how SUS will handle that message. As in SUS there is no ME21/VA01.

2) And also i need to send PO in XML format to SUS. Shall i use Idoc-to-Idoc scenario here or else...?

Please clarify on these two points, If anyone has done this scenario.

Any help is appriciated.

Thanks and Regards,

Vijay Raheja

Hi,

<i>

1) I am unable yo understand inbound part of SUS, how SUS will handle that message. As in SUS there is no ME21/VA01.</i>

>>>Generally MM sends PO in IDoc format into XI. From XI this PO will be sent to SUS in xml format.

i.e the scenario is IDoc>XI>ABAP Proxy . This scenario is already delivered by SAP and pre-delivered content into XI. You need to just configure it

<i>2) And also i need to send PO in XML format to SUS. Shall i use Idoc-to-Idoc scenario here or else...?</i>

>>>It is IDoc >XI>ABAP proxy Scenario.

You can go thru these standards business process guide from SAP service market Place-

https://websmp203.sap-ag.de/instguides ->mySAP Business Suite Applications>mySAP SRM -->using SAP EBP ...

I think this is the specific guide-https://websmp206.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700002897382004E/Plan-DrivenwithSInew.pdf

Hope this helps,

Vijay,

From MM send PO IDOC and on SUS side you can use IDOC or BAPI which makes more sense. I dont have access to SUS, so if you tell me if SUS has got BAPI or IDOC for PO then you can use either of these.

Vijay,

I was going through the forum, and looks like people are using PO IDOC on SUS side. So, it should be IDOC sender on MM, IDOC receiver on SUS.

HI,

If its IDoc on the SUS side theny ou just need to configure the Inbound ALE configuration for the same.

If you go to Integration repository and find the MI used for the same you will understand whether its a standard IDoc or BAPI and you can do the config accordingly.
