1)ERP CENTRAL COMPONENT

2) CRM-PI-ECC can be integrated using IDOCs

but CRM system will generate BDOC , So need to convert BDOCs to IDOC

3)yes it will be possible for above scenario ( U have to do by IDOC-IDoc)

1.ECC is enterprise central component. Its an ERP system.

ECC can be integrated with following :

NetWeaver Business Intelligence Java Components (BI)

NetWeaver Development Infrastructure (DI)

NetWeaver Enterprise Portal (EP)

NetWeaver Mobile Infrastructure (MI)

NetWeaver Process Integration (PI)

XI is a component of PI and part of process integration.

2. CRM 2 ECC

You can use Proxies for performance benefit for transferring data between CRM to XI and ECC to XI system.When you are planning for proxy, no need of adapters.

proxy is adapter less communication.

Also you can use ALE -IDOC communication between your ECC system and XI for master data communication.

Use the XIF adaptor to load the data from the external system. take a look of the blog https://weblogs.sdn.sap.com/pub/wlg/2197. [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken]

You can also use the ALE IDOC method to load data from legacy to CRM system if you have some middlware tool(E.g. XI) in between. XI was converting the same into IDOC and the IDOC was sent to CRM where we read the IDOC data, populate the standard BAPI's or function modules to create the data in CRM.

You need to define an IDOC TYPE similar to the data structure on the legacy system. Maintain the ALE settings. Write the function module to validate and create data in the CRM system.

even for CRM also we will use XI , in integration.

Like Idocs and other related Info from R3 while integrating .

pls do chk this it is releted to CRM to XI

I understood the ECC system but i want to implement SAP CRM to XI using Idoc

CRM had BDocs as Xi has IDoc , then how we will implement CRM---> Xi if we recieve BDoc in Xi , is it like XI will get Bdoc then inside Xi we will map the Bdoc to Idoc or we hav to map Bdoc to Idoc before it comes inside XI

How to change Bdoc that we will recieve from CRM to Idoc

Hi,

There were some replication settings are available in SAP CRM middleware to integrate SAP CRM to SAP ECC integration.

The scenario looks likes:

SAP CRM ---> (CRM Middleware Replication) -

> SAP ECC

Thanks,

Thanks

But I dont want to implement CRM as middleware

it shud be

CRM---> PI -

> ECC(R/3 system)

so basically CRM gives BDoc as outputs so it must be converted to Idoc , for further implementation

CRM --->{ - - - -> (BDoc output) - - - ->Idoc - - - >} -

> PI -

>ECC(R/3 system)

so all i need to convert the Bdoc to Idoc and i dont know where to do it inside PI or outside and how to do it using PI as middleware
