SAP GTS without Seeburger and XI\PI

[Former Member]

HI Guys,

Want to know information on below points

1) Is it mandatory to purchase Seeburger and XI\PI for SAP GTS?

2) out client already have IBM websphere  as Middleware. So If we wish to go ahead with  IBM websphere what settings/ config we need to do?

No, you don't need to use the Seeburger or SAP XI software.

If you want to use a different convertor, then you must find a way to transfer the GTS iDocs to your chosen tool, and produce your own mappings to and from the messages that you will exchange with the authorities.

Regards,

Dave

Hi,

just a few comments from my side...

Dave is absolutely right. You can implement SAP GTS without SEEBRUGER, however there are couple of downsides with that approach.

First of all, in most cases the SEEBURGER solution comes bundled with the GTS license – so no extra cost for the license.

The SEEBURGER GTS solution has been tested with a large number of customs authorities. So no need to develop all the mappings and communication requirements.

Some customs authorities like Germany require an official certification process of the solution. So, if you plan to use another Middleware, you need to go through that certification procedure.

Customs change their interfaces on a regular basis – the SEEBURGER GTS solution will be kept up-to-date as part of the yearly maintenance of your SAP GTS.

If you wish any further information on the SEEBURGER GTS solution, please feel free to contact me.

Kind Regards

Stefan

Hi Stefan

Where can I get the pricing for SEEBURGER, should I rather contact them directly?

We are processing 20 000 Bills of Entry to Customs per year in South Africa.
