Hi Shailesh,

There are 2 ways to do it:

1- SAP Portal: If you are using SAP Portal is your landscape then you can ask that team to connect SNC screens as a tile or menu step where they can connect easly by signle sign on.

2- Web Dispatcher: In your customer if there is a webdispatcher who can generate a link like you mention can be connected to back-end SNC system. Of course they need to very carefoul about the certificates and security rules.

Thanks a Lot Selim .

We will be going through Webdispatcher.

I will discuss with the Basis team for the same.

As you mentioned

Web Dispatcher:

In your customer if there is a webdispatcher who can generate a link like you mention can be connected to back-end SNC system. Of course they need to very carefoul about the certificates and security rules.

Will there be a same link for Customer view as well as Supplier View.

Hi Shailesh,

If you use web dispatcher then they need to create 2 external link for Supplier & Customer screens because it has a  1 to 1 relationship.

Even there are other options to do it via both services but it will requires some coding to distribute.

If you use SAP Portal then user can see the relevant screen according to his role.

Hi Shailesh,

Yes, you can provide links (web URL) to suppliers and customers to access SNC.

Normally access to SNC URLs is done via some existing company portal (e.g. SAP Enterprise Portal) which acts as single entry point for all applications.

or

Can be also done via direct URL of SNC. If you want to do this (direct access to SNC using URL), please make sure URL is setup over Internet.

Thanks Shekhar

Well lets say if Supplier's(user) or Customer's USer would like to logon through company's Website or URL(who implemented SNC) then do i need to provide link for Customer as well as supplier Logon which should redirect them to respective views accordingly.

Supplier View::

http://<Host name>:<Port number>/sap/bc/webdynpro/scf/snc_s?sap-language=<Language>

Customer View :

http://<Host name>:<Port number>/sap/bc/webdynpro/scf/snc_c?sap-language=<Language>

I can give the URL's which need to be saved in their favorities(But lets say if their Favorites get deleted) so these URL Supplier view and customer view are little difficult to remember.So I would like the Supplier and Customer to be redirected directly to the above link from common URL.

What are the best practices.
