Hi Expers,

  Is it possible to implement PO Order processing from ECC6 to SNC and vice versa without SAP PI/XI.

Is any body has experience working with other middleware products - Biztalk OR BOOMI for this PO order process integrattion.

as per my knowledge there is no other option without PI. Kindly confirm SNC experts.

Regards,

Venu.

Hi Venu,

Firstly, when you say PO order processing am assuming it involves exchanging the below set of documents between ECC and SNC :

  1. New PO / Change PO (ECC to SNC)
  2. PO Confirmation (SNC to ECC)
  3. Advanced Shipping Notification (SNC to ECC)
  4. Proof of Delivery (ECC to SNC)

SNC system can receive or send messages only in XML format. While ECC typically sends / receives these messages in Idoc format (Latest versions of ECC also send / receive XMLs but limited to only few documents)

So, this requires translation of Idocs to XMLs and vice versa for which you need a middleware. SAP recommends to use SAP PI as this middleware beacuse it provides the std. mapping content to translate these messages and also constantly keeps updating them when new fields are added. This will  provide out of the box integration and requires minimal setup.

The other option is to use a  different middleware but in that case you will have to establish Custom Interface mappings for each document. So for the PO processing you will have to setup 4 such interfaces.

Hope this answers your query.

Thanks !!
