Third party adapter

[Former Member]

Hello,

We are looking for a EDI adapter to work with PI 7.0 EHP-1 . SAP has launched the B2B add on early this year for EDI interfaces but unfortunately our version of PI does not support it.  Is seeburger adapter universally used for EDI interfaces with SAP ?  Can we do all the EDI mapping and conversion using this adapter and send it to the external vendor or partner?

Can you please suggest other options for EDI interfaces with SAP ?

Thanks,

Teresa

Dear Teresa,

Why not considering the SAP's B2B add-on? Please have a look at the community http://scn.sap.com/community/b2b-integration/ and maybe you will be convinced

Also, the add-on is available as SAP PI 7.11, SP8. Please note that technical and functional acknowledgement will only be available as of SAP PI 7.3 SP7.

Off course, Seeburger is an option too, but using SAP products always guarantees 100% integration with your current SAP PI system and setup.

About the required license: I guess you need to discuss this with your local SAP sales people.

Kind regards,

Dimitri

Dear Teresa,

Seeburger provides its EDI-Adapters now for a long time. It is very flexible and used for any kind of EDI-Interface (Edifact, ANSI X12, Tradacoms, ...). It also is able to handle CSV or Flatfiles in the same way than EDI-data.

I am sure that you will be able to translate all of your data with the toolset.

It also provides multiple protocols for data exchange, like AS2, X400, VAN-Connections, SFTP... plus several AddOns. like "MessageTracking".

If you need any additional information on that, feel free to contact me and we can discuss further about your requirements.

Kind Regards

Working on EDI integration always exciting and it is like a challeninging for PI consultant to learn /develop EDI integration..

In your case best option is using see burger, there are many documents available in SCN to know more about see burger integration approch.

good luck..search in scn
