How to configure the sending of Purchase Orders from SRM 5.0 to XI

[Former Member]

Hello,

Does anyone have any experience, or can send me relevant documentation on how to move Purchase orders created in SRM 5.0 to XI 3.0?

When I create the purchase order I see the automatically generated XML in the local sxmb_moni of the SRM system. Also a QRFC is generated.

What I am missing is how to move this XML to XI?

My email is boaz.paz@hp.com.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Boaz

Hi Boaz.

What part of SRM you are using SUS or EBP?

Any way first step is to use the Content of objects available in the markeplace for the XI.

There you can find all the buisness process available for SRM ->XI->ERP,portal...etc

Who do you work for in Israel? PAZ ?

If you need a hand with XI you can contact me.

Hey Boaz.

I guess if its a standard PO outbound from SRM

there must be an IDoc for this action unless there is a more natural connection recommended by SAP (http/RFC)to implement an outgoing purchase order from SRM to XI.

check for SRM documentation for the business process,check XI for import content objects of SRM.

Hi Boaz and Narayana,

HTTP Adapter is used to connect SRM and XI. Make sure that the SRM configurations are using the RFC connection with path string <b>type=entry</b> , for establishing the connection with XI. And moreover see that the MI name and the namespace of the message seen in moni of SRM are available in XI.

Refer to the XI Configuration guide. All the settings needed are listed in there. Also refer to the config guide fo the relevant SRM scenario.

Besides these settings, SRM to XI is using a HTTP adapter that is setup as a HTTP destination in SRM for XI. You will need to add the HTTP service in XI (transaction SICF) to receive messages over HTTP also.

Hi

We are working on the same scenario where we are sending a PO created in SRM 4.0(with SRM Server 5.0) to XI 3.0 in xml format. We can see the xml format of PO in local sxi_monitor i.e., in SRM. But That could not be seen in XI. Can you please help us in this scenario.

Do we use RFC Sender Adapter in XI to connect to SRM?

Awaiting for your Valuable Reply.

Hi Boaz,

Normally while integrating SRM with XI, its a standard procedure to send the PO's as payloads of the HTTP request to the target system. As you said, an XML is getting generated, convert the same as payload and make a HTTP call to your XI(further processing depends on your scenario).

Hi,

I am not so sure if we can automatically move purchase orders from SRM to XI. But i can surely suggest a work around.

You could create a work flow that is triggered when a purchase order is created in SRM. As a work item in the work flow you could implement client abap proxy call to XI.
