Projects: BizTalk Server 2004 SAP/EDI/RosettaNet Integration
BizTalk 2004 SAP, EDI, RosettaNet, Web Services Integration
CLIENTS: Microsoft Consulting Services and Nortel Networks
SUMMARY: We worked as a partner of Microsoft Consulting Services
providing critical SAP integration expertise and delivering the SAP integration
components for the Microsoft BizTalk 2004 Server, SharePoint Server, and Web
Services implementation at Nortel Networks. We implemented BizTalk interfaces
to SAP for order processing scenarios for sales orders and purchase orders using
a combination of the Covast EDI Adapter, IWay SAP R/3 Adapter, SAP .Net
Connector, ABAP IDoc and BAPI Programming, and ALE Configuration.
BizTalk SAP Interface Configuration and
Development: We configured the IWay SAP Adapter for all of the
IDoc, RFC, and BAPI communication between the BizTalk and the SAP
R/3 system. We generated XSD schemas for these interfaces and
helped with the mapping between EDI, intermediate Nortel Business
Object, and SAP IDoc, BAPI, and RFC formats. The order interface
scenarios were configured for EDI 850 (order creation), 855 (order
confirmation), 856 (order change), 810 (invoice), and 860
transaction sets.
SAP Configuration and Development:
We configured the SAP ALE configuration for IDoc
communication. We extended standard SAP IDocs for the order
processing scenarios and also developed custom IDocs and the
associated processing using ABAP for additional non standard
processes.
We developed an SAP interface to the IBM
CrossWorlds SAP module. We developed custom SAP RFCs to query and
extract the SAP IDoc status and data record information from the IBM
CrossWorlds SAP log interface tables and standard SAP IDoc tables.
.Net Development: We developed a
complete web services interface between a Supplier SharePoint Portal
and SAP R/3. The web services was developed using a combination of
C#, ASP.Net, BizTalk to invoke the standard and custom SAP
functionality mentioned above. The web services provided APIs to
query Purchase order, acknowledgement, shipping notices in SAP and
also update this information using XML interfaces. An API was
developed to allow users to download a range of purchase orders as
RosettaNet 3A4 Purchase Order creation documents.
