X12 846 - SAP S/4 HANA

A search request is performed on SAP S/4HANA for Material Stock records. Item records for all storage locations are found, which are parsed based on Storage Location and the matching outbound route is searched. If a match occurs,the SAP S/4HANA Material Stock JSON is translated to EDI 846 and sent to the trading partner.

This section explains how to configure the integration between SAP S/4HANA to retrieve the Material Stock records and transform them to EDI X12 846 format for integration with your Trading Partner.

Configure

1. Process Schedulers: LaunchInventoryPS is scheduled to run every 1 hour. To adjust these settings, refer to the steps in Creating and Defining Process Schedules.
2. Outbound Route. In the Material Stock source payload, Storage Location identifies the Trading Partner to whom the 846 should be sent.  Storage Location is used in the look-up against the table SapHana_Partners to find the trading partner name.
3. EDI Enveloper. Configure the X12 846 envelope details and the trading partner endpoint (to receive X12 846) in the partner profile. (CIC Cockpit>Partners>Transaction>Settings).

Run the Flow

1. Before proceeding, ensure that the following Projects have been deployed. If any of these Projects are already deployed and remain unmodified, there is no need to redeploy them. Similarly, if any of these Projects were not checked out to your Workspace, they can be skipped from the deployment process.

• com._customer_booster.cim.saphana
• com._customer_.cim.saphana
• com.cleo.customer.edi
• com.cleo.b2bcloud.core
• com.cleo.b2biaas.clarify
• com.cleo.cic.cim.cockpit.rulesets
• com.cleo.cic.cim.schemas
• com.cleo.cic.cockpit.core
• com.cleo.cic.connector.saphana
• com.cleo.cic.pt.api
• com.cleo.cic.pt.edi.schemas
• com.cleo.cic.util

2. Run the flow either manually or automatically:

• Manually run the Business Process flow by launching LaunchMaterialStockBPS.
• Automatically run the Scheduler LaunchMaterialStockPS.sched to execute the flow based on the specified interval.

3. Monitor the flow by using the following:

• CIC Studio Auditor log entries
• CIC Cockpit views: Messages, Jobs, Dashboard>Charts

In case of errors: If any of the processing steps fail, a ticket is created with the details; the same is visible in the CIC Cockpit's Message and Job views with the Issue Flag.  

For Outbound EDI validation use cases, see Validation Rules in the Transformation Settings object for validation rules.

How to Customize 

1. You can change how often Item Cards are retrieved from SAP S/4HANA. The LaunchMaterialStockPS Scheduler (in com.customer.booster.cim.saphana.material.stock package) retrieves invoices every 1 hour. You can change this to run more or less frequently. To adjust these settings, refer to the steps in Creating and Defining Process Schedules.
2. Add more details to the X12 846 from the SAP S/4HANA Material Stock.
