How to create Product Design in ABSL or Custom Web service

[former_member535186]

Hi Experts,

I have CSV file extracted from Engineering design external system, the requiments is to develop a solution to upload the data as product design.

- How can i reach the creation od the object via code, the concern is what is the Mandatory parameters, nodes have to be filled before creating an object.

Thank you V much.

Hello Motaz,

Could you please share a few more information regarding your query?

- In what system you would like to implement the development? Is it Cloud for Customer or Business ByDesign?

- You would like to create a custom Business Object (BO) or you would like to create instances on the Materials (Product) BO?

Thank you,

Thiago Sarmento

Motaz,

How I often do things like this, though I've never made a product design this way, is to create a solution in the same deployment unit as the standard BO that you're trying to make an instance of, and create a custom BO as a flat file (i.e. only the root node), with the fields you think you need for a product design. You can then upload XML data to this BO once you've made a file input object (.pid), and create a mass-enabled AfterModify script file to turn the data received into one or more instances of the standard BO, in your case the product design one. It might take some experimentation to work out whether it works or not and how, but that's how I've made uploaders for standard objects in the past.

Dear Sneha,

Thanks for your answer but I am not sure this is answering the question asked by Motaz or mine.

You explain very well what could be the benefits of connecting SAP By Design to an external engineering system which makes them very clear but the matter here is more to understand how we can connect both systems. What is the point of entry into SAP By Design?

Thanks,

Adrien

You can create product designs from scratch or import them into SAP Business ByDesign from your external engineering system. In SAP Business ByDesign you can maintain them in order to match production capabilities;

When released, product designs can be handed over to production and a production bill of material is generated automatically;

Materials can be assigned to product designs or to the associated production bill of material;

Production models are generated from the production bill of materials, providing the basis for production.

Hello,

I have the same question regarding the creation of Product Designs (in "Product Development" Work Center in SAP By Design).

SAP help library clearly says that Products Designs can be created from an external engineering system (CAD) and sent to SAp By Design but does not specifies through which webservices.

The only webservices available Product Designs seem to be only providing read authorization rather than create and manage. Also, there are no migration templates for Product Designs.

Many thanks for your help,

Adrien
