SAP to TMS scenario?

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a scenario where SAP ECC would be on the sender side and a TMS (Transport Management System) on the receiver side and the mode of communication would be of synchronous type. PI will act as a mediator between these two.

Primary investigations reveal that a PROXY to (Web Service) SOAP would be the most ideal implementation as the data to be sent is less and mode of communication is synchronous.

This interface is to be created for streamlining the carrier selection process.

Any suggestions for another implementation technique to be used  which would be better than the one suggested above?

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Vinit,

If you are integrating ECC with Oracle TMS then Proxt to SOAP is the best available option. But why you need synchronous communication.

Hi,

if you are using SAP related TMS did you checked the standard content

provided for these integration ? 

doesn't your scenario covers in the standard content....

Hi Vinit

It depends on the TMS system how they are going to receive the data from PI. If they use webservice then yes SOAP is the best option to go for , then you can think about HTTP for rest web service.

If the interfaces are going to be synchronous, then proxy would be the best way to go for ECC side.

Next option will be an RFC adapter and a function module or BAPI in ECC.
