I am working with a customer using this SAP Project and Resource Management with S/4HANA Cloud. they use a non-SAP HXM solution. Any recommendation on how to integrate it with SAP Project and Resource Management?

Hi,

There are multiple options to connect non-SAP 3rd Party HXM solution with the SAP Projects and Resource management. they are

  1. SAP Integration suite.
  2. Connecting 3rd Party Non-SAP Solution with S4HC

Case 1:

"Non-SAP 3rd party HXM Solution -> SAP Integration Suite -> MDI/MDO -> SAP Projects and Resource Management"

You can refer to the blog that clearly describes the 3rd party integrations with help of Integration suite + MDI/MDO "https://community.sap.com/t5/technology-blogs-by-sap/sap-integration-suite-integration-with-sap-mast... .  

Case 2:

Via the API's you can connect the 3rd Party Non-SAP HXM Solution with the S4HC system. Once you have the WF Persons in S4HC you can setup the WF Person replication from S4HC -> MDI/MDO -> SAP P&RM. the step by step process is explained below.

Pre-requisite is 6JO scope is already in scope and activated. 

  1. Bring basic worker information ( workforce person & employment information) to S/4HANA Cloud from 3rd party system. S/4HC already has integration of worker data to RM. This is via pre-built integration between S/4HC and RM and here also we use MDI. But please remember that integration is already provided by SAP.
  2. Bring Workforce Availability information to RM via APIs provided by SAP P&RM - 

    https://api.sap.com/api/WorkforceAvailability/schema

  3. Bring Workforce Skills to RM via API provided by SAP P&RM - https://api.sap.com/api/ProjectExperience/schema

Hello Sai Vivek, Thank you very much for the detailed answers and possibilities. I have a follow up question. The SAP KBA article says that one could replicate basic workforce information via APIs https://me.sap.com/notes/2905918. I was thinking we replicate the worker information to S/4 using this approach. Then S/4 can push the worker records to MDI and subsequently to SPRM. Is that an option?

Hi Aavantika,

Once you have the basic worker information ( workforce person & employment information) in S/4HANA Cloud, which is brought from 3rd party system. S/4HC already has integration of worker data to SPRM. This is via pre-built integration between S/4HC and SPRM using MDI service.

But please remember that integration is already provided by SAP as part of the 6JO scope.
