SAP EDI : SAP PO Interface Development with AS2 B2B ADDON

Learn how to use the Mendelssohn open source ace2 software to simulate SAP EDI AS2 messages, test SAP PO interfaces, and replicate partners for inbound and outbound transactions.

Learn to download, install, and configure the Mendelson S2 AS2 software on your Mac, simulate AS2 messaging, and ensure server connectivity for SAP PO interface development with SAP EDI.

Configure the Mac S2 software by defining the local Mendelssohn station and the PO partner, assign Mac local and PO partner IDs, and check the local station for the interface.

Access the MEC AS2 web dashboard at localhost:8080, log in with guest credentials, view messages, verify the server state and system status, and begin configuring your SAP PO interface.

download and install notepad, open an EDI file like 854 010, explore its structure, and edit header parameters guided by the S-2 configuration.

Explore the EDI file structure, including ISA and IEA headers, GS groups, and ST/SC segments, and learn to edit and save sample X2L4010 EDI files for AS2 interfaces.

Learn how ISA and GS IDs define sender and receiver in EDI files, map Mendelssohn to SAP PO with a local GS ID, and edit header values.

Open the attached configuration and sample EDI files to examine an 850 transaction, including ST and GS segments, the 4010 version, and sender/receiver IDs with qualifiers in HTML view.

Explore the b2b cockpit to manage trading partners, content manager settings, and conversions of edi to xml. Learn to verify converters, generate xsd, and import-export configurations before interface development.

Explore building an SAP PO interface that converts an EDI 854 010 message to XML and IDoc, using Mendelssohn open source as a tester and a sender adapter.

Create the B2B interface product and its software component version 1.0, develop them in SLD, and import objects into ESR for SAP EDI PO interface development with AS2 B2B addon.

Create a new product and software component named B2B interface vendor in the ESR, ensuring no spaces. Then import into ESR and configure the S2 ID in the IDE.

Configure ESR objects for the SAP EDI PO interface by defining the software component 'B2B interface 1.0', namespace, outbound service interface, and 850 to 0040102 order mappings, then import.

Create ESR objects for SAP EDI integration by importing software components, data types 850 4010 and 854 010, and mapping idoc with message and operation mappings for orders zero five.

Configure a two-interface S2 adapter to split EDI messages and convert them to XML for IDoc mapping. Attach a converter module and apply operation mapping to produce the target IDoc.

Develop id objects by building a folder, parties, and a business system, then configure as2 sender and receiver separators, an idoc channel, and two icu steps with operation mapping.

Configure channels in SAP PO AS2 B2B addon by defining S2 and GS IDs, sender and receiver identifiers, and 850/4010 transaction parameters, then enable XML conversion for X12 messaging.

Test the AS2 to IDOC interface by validating four channels from MCC to IDOC delivery, including pass-through, XML conversion, and mapping to SAP ECC.

Learn the file to idoc edi scenario in SAP PO interface development using a file adapter, 854 010, separator, XML conversion, and idoc mapping to the SAP system.

Configure a pass-through SAP PO interface by setting up a file channel with S2, using a dummy ICU and namespace, and removing software components to disable mapping and XML validation.

Test the interface in test mode by uploading a file, confirming idoc flow from 76 to 77 and 78, and reuse h2 configurations for file-to-idoc testing.

Show how to convert an idoc to an 850 edi file and send it to Mendelssohn software via the AS2 adapter, ensuring Mendelssohn is reachable from the PO system.

Reuse the existing B2B interface product and software component (B2B interface 1.0) imported into the ESR, and explore developing the namespace and objects for ESR configuration.

Configure ESR objects for the SAP PO addon by reusing the namespace and orders, and create a message mapping and an operation mapping from the toolkit.

Create ESR objects by establishing a namespace, copying data types and message types, and setting up an inbound released interface with mappings. Activate, verify, and test the interface.

Configure idoc to edi conversion in SAP interface, map idoc to edi, and route file to Mendelssohn via S2; create sender and receiver objects using party and business system parameters.

Create id objects by building folders, attaching parties and business systems to an s2 doc scenario, configuring channels and receiver settings, and validating ace2 outbound processing for document transfer.

Configure the as2 receiver channel by setting mapping details, including sender and receiver ids, gs level, and recipient url, then activate the channel to test message delivery.

Trigger test messages from the testing tab, verify the idoc to AS2 interface by checking message IDs and status, and configure the channel with local and receiver ID.

Enable 997 functional acknowledgments in an AS2 sender/EDI scenario by enabling 997 on the EDI separator receiver channel, capturing A997/997, and dumping to an FTP folder.

Understand ESR objects by configuring a pass-through interface. Map the 997 XSD to external definitions with 1-to-1 mapping and route to the FTP folder via a target inbound interface.

Configure ESR objects in SAP PO by creating the namespace, external definitions, and outbound/inbound interfaces, building a 1-to-1 map with operation mapping, then activate and review the i-97 id configuration.

Understand how the 997 EDI acknowledgment is triggered in a two ICOs S2 interface, using a separator to generate 997 and map it 1-to-1 into XML for a file receiver.

Develop id objects by configuring a sap po interface with a separator channel and a file-based receiver, reuse the operation mapping, and route 997 messages to 9974010 for processing.

Learn to test the SAP PO AS2 B2B addon interface by sending and verifying files, and implement the 997 functional ack flow with ICU and ICO configuration.

Learn to create a counter variable in the B2B cockpit for SAP PO interface development, with min/max values and rotation of ICN numbers at interchange and message levels.

Configure the NRO variable from the mapping program by embedding the interchange control number in the message map with the $B2B_<variable>_$B2B syntax, then test end-to-end to verify the running number.

Test the SAP PO interface by sending Idoc messages, review arrow variables and raw data, and use the transmission number module to convert dollar values into running numbers.
