Automate Outbound Task in POSDM

Former Member
0 Kudos

Hi everyone!

We're trying to automate the outbound task in POSDM found under the two-step processing which will enable sending of sales data and means of payment data to be sent via WPUUMS and WPUTAB respectively.

I understand we can create a variant for the program /posdw/odis but we must have a condition where the total records EOD must be successful (task 0030) before the outbound task should be executed. Is this possible under configuration?

Thanks!

Hi Vikrant,

I did see the link and tried it but I have a question around this:

I did assign the created rule under task 0014 (create WPUUMS) and task 0013 (create WPUTAB) and assigned it under the task group for sales movement. Then, I assigned task 0030 (Check balancing for Totals Transactions) under the task group for total records. I executed task 0030 first when the EOD files are successfully sent and then went ahead to execute tasks 0014 and 0013 under the sales movement transactions but got an error.

Is it because tasks 0013, 0014 and 0030 aren't grouped together? I can't assign task 0030 under sales movement because this will only work when the EOD files are sent. I did assign 0013 and 0014 under total records but it would not send the WPUUMS and WPUTAB idocs because the totals aren't the ones that are going to be sent to ECC.

I also found out that the outbound task for WPUUMS and WPUTAB under two-step processing is different from one-step processing and what we would want to automate is the one under the two-step processing.

Any workaround for this?

Thank you in advance!

Hi,

In case of two step processing rules can't help you.

Probably you need to customize your OD program.

Thanks,

Hi Vikrant,

Thank you! I think we will try to create a new program for it. But for now, we'll have our users manually monitor these transactions.

Hi Carmina,

It seems your details are not enough to understand the issue. As far as I know two step processing is about creating aggregates in one step and then process them to create IDocs in second step.

During first step of creating aggregates, we can put the requirements and validation to the tasks. Something  like, before generating aggregates, EOD tasks should have been done.

Can you please give some more technical details on what you want to achieve and what is the error message you are getting when you are executing 0013 and 0014 tasks.

Regards,

Amit

Hi Amit,

This won't be good choice from performance point of view. Assume 1000 stores start filling aggregates at a time after EOD is verified.

Most of the customer utilize BI for data loading out of business hours. This will also degrease performance and system will get heavy load.

Thanks,

Vikrant.
