PO from SRM to External Suppliers

[Former Member]

Hi,

We want to implement the follow scenario :

Send a PO from SRM in XML format to an external supplier using XI 3.0 , but the cuestion is whether

XI has and predefinied scenario for this task , if not ,what is the recomenndaion to implement??? ,

we need to develop all the interface??

the BBP_PO_SEND_XML is valid for this task?? or only for vendors???

example:

(SRM) ourCompanyPO.xml ->XI->Office deppot system(http)

Hi Moorthy,

Yes ASP could be a WS, but my question is whether there´re some scenario in XI content to do this , my SRM system send a PO in XML format to and external Supplier (the application is a ASP)??????,

why ask this? , because my SRM Consultant talk about this predefinied scenarios, and i think the interface have to make from cero ,

Hi,

If there is predifned scenarios, it will have only Repository objects (Mapping , Interfaces, Message Types etc). So I am not able to find the Target structure for this sceanrio. You can get PO message into XI. For this you can use existing interfaces etc.

Actually I am using SRM5.0. But I am usig deleivered content for R/3->XI->SUS.. So here I am sending PO from R/3 to SUS and External systems. Here for external systems I am sending as a xml file itself.

I am not able to find the same as yours in my imported content. But I have PurchaseOrderRequest ....some message here. SO you can make use of that to get the PO xml into XI (via Proxy/RFC). Then you need to do the mapping etc for the target side as per the requierement. You may need to do the target strcutre etc.

I think,I have already given this thread-

Hope this helps,

Hi Moorthy,

I have imported all the IBC content and activated but not work , but i think all the scenarios are for vendors or backend's, my problem how to send the PO to a external supplier ,

for example:

SRM -> XI ->ASP application (supplier external)

Hi,

If the external suppliers are ASP applications, I think you need to go with Webservices probably. (If they expose their application)

Anyway , your sender will be RFC right ? Reciever will be WebService..

This is just my views-

Hi,

I think you have predelivered content for this. Import SAP SRM 5.0 component into Repository and check that

Have a look into this thread-

Check these documets-

www.service.sap.com/ibc -> Integrated Business Content for mySAP SRM-> Operational Procurement

Hope this helps,
