#CoE #RFL01 use XRechnung for e-invoicing (O2C)

[a1yomghy]

Dear all,

Being in S4/Hana Public Cloud, we need to make it possible for a German private Company to send e-invoices (O2C) to different customers (public or non public...) with XRechnung.

My understanding is that we have to activate PEPPOL in SAP S4Hana Public Cloud and that it requires the following prerequisites before we can start specific configurations and mappings*... Is this check list correct ?

First : we understood that scope item 5XU must be activated (1J2 is not enough).

Then , check list of actions to be processed :

A. prerequisites :

0- I understand that we need to subscribe to Peppol Exchange Service for the Cloud Edition of SAP Document and Reporting Compliance by getting in touch with your SAP representative for further details (then we'll receive different emails...)

1- Create additionnal users : https://help.sap.com/docs/DC_PEPPOL/18b7404616704ee5a71ca373418fc4bf/b09412d672f8423fa04590602ea92cd...

2- connect the service to the back end system : https://help.sap.com/docs/DC_PEPPOL/18b7404616704ee5a71ca373418fc4bf/8b906172650c4872a849a4b30577d98...

3- Enable your company to send and receive electronic documents : You register your company in the Peppol network (is it point 0 ?) and are ready to send and/or receive electronic documents from your business partners. See Enabling Your Company to Send Electronic Documents in the Peppol Network and Enabling Your Company to Receive Electronic Documents in the Peppol Network.

4- Configuring Custom Identity Provider (IDP) and Using Own User Base : https://help.sap.com/docs/DC_PEPPOL/18b7404616704ee5a71ca373418fc4bf/f6142c71c1874270aabab446981acf5...

Then proceed to Integration : it looks a little bit like the previous prerequisite points but my understanding is that the following points are different andd also need to be done. Am I correct ?

B. Intergration :

1. Creating Communication Users
   You create communication users required for establishing communication between SAP S/4HANA Cloud and Peppol Exchange. To be able to exchange data, the two systems must authenticate themselves.
2. Creating Communication Systems
   You create communication systems required for establishing communication between SAP S/4HANA Cloud and Peppol Exchange for the Document Compliance Peppol Integration (SAP_COM_0529) integration scenario.
3. Creating Communication Arrangements
   You create communication systems required for establishing communication between this system and Peppol Exchange.
4. Configure Connections to Service for SAP S/4HANA Cloud
   You use the Connection Management app, to define the configurations required for S/4HANA Cloud to connect to the service.
5. Connect Service to SAP S/4HANA Cloud
   You use the Connection Management app to define the configurations required for your service to connect to SAP S/4HANA Cloud system.
6. Download Service Certificate
   You download a certificate from the Connection Management app. This certificate is required for the creation of a communication user in SAP S/4HANA Cloud

C.- Then, for memory, the finalization would be done in the following steps / Germany :

- Configuration Options for Key Users – referring to doc types mapping to edoc, ID types for business partner, etc.

- Configuring Value Mapping for fields in XML

- Master data – maintain the party ID’s in company code, customers, suppliers

D. And then, as we want to use XRechnung, we should also : https://help.sap.com/docs/SAP_S4HANA_CLOUD/e2d057b7b4df44ba941a040d4dda2956/d7b504827698421189ca3463...

• For each business partner you want to send electronic documents by e-mail, you've chosen the E-Mail Process with XML option in Assigning Party ID Types to Business Partners (Mandatory).

• You've integrated Peppol Exchange and done the onboarding activities. Check Integrating with SAP S/4HANA Cloud. (done in previsous steps...)

• For each business partner you want to send invoices by e-mail (XML), you've maintained their e-mail addresses in master data. Check Maintaining E-Mail Addresses of Customers.

• If you use the process described in this topic along with another process, then you've registered factory classes to generate additional electronic document instances. Check Activating Additional eDocument Instance Creation (Recommended).

Thanks for your understanding, there are so much documentation that I need to realize a check list !

Kind regards,

Guillaume

Thanks owen.liu

But I think I'have alreaduy read all this and made a check list from it and from other documents again.
But there are so many documents, and sometimes the fomulation is different so it is not obvious to say if the subject is indeed or if it is only the formulation that is different... Anyway this is the reason why I had this check list done and wished you could confirm confirm.

Best regards

Guillaume

Hi Guilaume,

I believe this kind of questions is difficult to confirm.

Suggest you to raise question which is more specific.

Best Regards,
Owen
