EDIFACT integration using SAP XI

414 Views

Hi experts;

I'm quite new to SAP XI.

Lately a colleague asked me for the possibilty to communicate with a business partner via EDIFACT.

We are not able to communicate that way, yet.

I already searched the SDN for some information relating this topic and read some blogs and threads.

But most of them was detailed information that doesn´t match our needs.

I need some high level information about EDI integration within SAP XI, to evaluate if we are going for a

solution or not.

What are the different possibilites to enable EDI communication?

What are the provider? (I already SEEBURGER, are there others?)

What do I need for EDI? (only the XI Adpater e.g. Seeburger or do I also need some Hardware or other things?)

Whats about the pricing? (how does it works? messages based?)

What´s SAP Conversion Agent? Is that a possibility to realize a EDI szenario?

I think that are enough questions for the beginning...

As I already mentioned I need some High-level information about the different possibilties and how to evaluate them.

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards

Jochen
