need to create sale order from the flat file & mail has to be sent

[JayR]

Hi Experts,

I have a requirement to create a sale order from a flat file and once the oder is created, mail has to be sent to customer as well as to internal user with the order details. I want to know how this process can be implemented and what adapters are needed to execute this.

it would be very helpful, if i get an step-by-step procedure.

Points assured for any helpful answers.

Thanks in Advance

Hi,

I dnt think there is any need for a sync async bridge here ... please do correct me if i'm wrong.

But you would definitely need a BPM ..

In tht u can have

A Recieve step for receiving the file from the source system.

After tht if you have to perform any transformation thn u can have a transformation step .

A sync Send - to send the sales order info to the receiving system and also to receive a response from then

Async send - to send the response received to the source system .

HI Jai,

You need to create two interfaces as file will be sending the Sales oreder details that you need to capture in IDOC or RFC and then have to trigger to create the sales order. For this Standard BAPIs are also available.

These RFC or BAPIs will response with Sales order details that you need to divert to Mail adapter with the use of BPM and also have to go for Async to Sync bridge.

File -

---

>XI (BPM) ---> BAPI/RFC (Request)

MailAdapter <- XI (BPM) <--- BAPI/RFC (Response)

For this refer below links for step by step

If you will use IDOC then In IDOC inbound processing you need to trigger for Sales order creation and then have to send the Sales Order generated IDOC as an Outbound to Mail Adapter

Flat file -

---

> XI ---> IDOC

IDOC -

---

> XI ---> Mail

This will be bit easy scenario to develope as compare to using BAPI with BPM

Hi Swarup,

Thanks for your immediate reply, I would appreciate you, if i get a process flow diagram for this scenario. I am very new to XI and it would be very useful for me to understand the process & to implement better

Thanks in advance

Jai,

Follow the Wiki. https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/xi/file-rfc-file%28without+bpm%29&;

I believe ,instead of having receiver File we can also have receiver Mail. I'm not sure though, just try it out and share your experience.

For the Response Mapping, you need to use the target message as Mail XSD Structure.

Hi, Raj:

Actually what you mentioned is my question for you, if it works this way, it is really cool.

I mean in your scenario, in module tab of your file sender communication channel, if you can specify any receiver channel and receiver service, then, we can send response message to any system, even the sender is still file sender.

Jai: Though BPM solution solve your problem, but it is worthy to try the one proposed by Raj since it does not require BPM.
