Sales quotes or sales order replication from sales cloud v2 to s4hana cloud public edition

[urmil_khamar]

Hello,

I am currently exploring the sap sales cloud v2 for implementation and I am bit surprised by comment in the documentation that it is not possible to replicate sales quotes or sales orders from sales cloud v2 to s4hana cloud public edition. 

SAP provides the sales cloud 15 users license with s4hana cloud public edition, premium version. But what is the customer supposed to do if they cant complete the whole process together? Is there a way to achieve this by customizations?

Thanks & Regards,

Hello,

To achieve integration between SAP Sales Cloud V2 and S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, particularly for replicating sales quotes or sales orders, several steps can be followed using SAP’s integration tools and methodologies:

Steps to Enable Integration

1. Cloud Connector Reachability: Ensure that the Cloud Connector is set up correctly and is reachable. This acts as a secure connection between SAP Cloud environments and on-premises or other cloud systems.

2. Utilize Cloud Platform Integration (CPI): Log in to SAP CPI and identify the relevant integration flows (iFlows) needed for sales quote or sales order replication. Deploy these iFlows to manage data transfer effectively. CPI helps bridge the Sales Cloud and S/4HANA Cloud systems with predefined integration scenarios.

3. Communication Arrangements: In the SAP Sales Cloud, create and maintain the communication arrangements required SAP CLOUD FOR CUSTOMER INTEGRATION WITH S/4 HANA O… for the artifacts you’ve identified. This includes setting up outbound and inbound communication for sales quotes and sales orders.

4. Configure IDOC Settings in S/4HANA: If IDOC adapter types are used, maintain configurations in transactions like WE20 and WE21 to ensure proper partner profile and port settings. These transactions help manage inbound and outbound IDOCs in S/4HANA Cloud.

5. Business Process Synchronization: Execute steps in the Sales Cloud to ensure that sales order creation and replication occur successfully between these systems. This may involve steps such as creating sales quotes, requesting external pricing, and submitting for external document creation which in turn creates sales orders within S/4HANA.

6. Monitor and Test: Regularly monitor the integration flows and test the setup to verify successful replication of sales documents and troubleshoot any issues that arise.

This approach combines cloud integration mechanisms with IDOCs and communication arrangements to sync and manage sales documents across the SAP Cloud landscape, ensuring seamless integration between the systems.

Resources

• Cloud Interface Tools: Utilize SAP’s Cloud Platform Integration and IDOC configurations for direct integration of data between SAP systems.
• SAP APIs: Where possible, leverage SAP’s API Business Hub for accessing SAP’s APIs, which can provide direct integration capabilities.

This methodology ensures data consistency and connectivity between SAP Sales Cloud V2 and S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, irrespective of direct replication constraints noted in the documentation.
