B2B EDI - Creating a Passthrough Scenario for EDI data (X12/EDIFACT) via TPM

[rahulyadav]

SAP Integration Suite has launched passed through scenarios for EDI files in Q2-2025. This was a much awaited feature in SAP IS/CPI where we can route a message via B2B monitoring ( TPM standard package - V2) without executing the mapping ( Custom/MAG).

Note: This feature is available 2.5.0 onwards in TPM package

Below scenario illustrates the setup when we want to do passthrough of EDI content from your own company to Trading Partner from SAP CPI.

Company/Subsidiary/Trading Partner --> SAP IS/CPI --> Trading Partner

Step 1: Under your Own Company. Go to existing system or create new system.

Step 2: Assign a type system version that your want to by pass. Here, I am taking EDI810-004010.

Step 2: Create a outbound Communication Channel ( Process Direct Sender) that will feed the message to Step 1B of TPM flows.

Step 3: Create Trading Partner and add the Identifier of Trading Partner.

Step 5: Add Receiver channel ( Process Direct/AS2/SOAP) in Trading Partner System, based on your required protocol. Here I am routing to one of the process direct receiver.

Step 6: Create a Pass through template.

Step 7: Create transaction Passthrough with Checkbox Passthrough

Step 8: You will see Passthrough scenario. Data Originating from your company and going out to Trading Partner. No mapping is needed in this transaction.

Step 9: Create an agreement from above Template.

Step 10: Fill all the details of agreement.

Step 11: Assign the respective sender and receiver Process adapters in the communication Channel tab. You can request for acknowledgement from your trading partner or receiver system.

Step 12: Assign the receiver channel. You need to assign the FA receiver channel too.

Step 13: Don't forget to put Message type in receiver interchange, here I am putting 810

Step14: Now you are done with your passthrough. Activate your agreement. 

Step 15: Trigger an EDI message via TPM package.

Note: Passthrough scenario supports multiple transactions (ST segment-X2) segment and you can also enable receiver functional acknowledgement.

Now, you are good to test the scenario for a passthrough.

Note: Right now, passthrough scenarios are only available for X12 and EDIFACT.
