Configuring an Inbound SAP Route

Sterling B2B Integrator uses SAP routes to determine how to route IDocs to and from external trading partners. When creating the inbound routes, indicate which key fields in the IDoc EDI_DC control record are used to identify the IDoc.

1. From the Administration menu, select Deployment > Adapter Utilities > SAP Routes > SAP Routes.
2. Under Create, next to New Inbound Route, click Go.
3. Complete the fields in the following table, as appropriate:

   Option	Description
   Route Name	Unique, meaningful name for the inbound route. Required.
   SAP Direction	Direction of this route. This value is read-only and is set to inbound. No configuration is necessary.
   SAP IDOC Version	Version of the IDoc that you are exchanging with SAP. Required.
   EDI Port Name	Name of the port that enables communication between Sterling B2B Integrator and an SAP EDI subsystem. The EDI subsystem triggers the SAP Suite adapter when sending IDocs to Sterling B2B Integrator. Sterling B2B Integrator triggers the EDI subsystem when sending IDocs to SAP. Required. Note: Both the SAP port name and EDI port name are used to route the IDoc to the correct trading partner. These values, along with the SAP client number, are added to the IDoc control record during the final translation of the IDoc in the SAPInboundIDoc business process.
   SAP Port Name	Name of the SAP internal port that enables communication between the EDI subsystem and the SAP system when sending and receiving IDocs. Required. Note: Both the SAP port name and EDI port name are used to route the IDoc to the correct trading partner. These values, along with the SAP client number, are added to the IDoc control record during the final translation of the IDoc in the SAPInboundIDoc business process.
   SAP Client Number	SAP client number. Required.

4. Click Next and review your configuration settings.
5. Click Finish to add the inbound SAP route to Sterling B2B Integrator.
