The inbound and outbound IDoc examples in the following
sections focus only on the SAP Suite adapter for JCo 3.x configuration
and the SAP inbound and outbound business processes for sending and
receiving IDocs.
To use the SAP inbound and outbound business processes to
process EDI files, you need to perform the following additional steps:
- Create maps that translate EDI to IDoc format (inbound
processing) and IDoc format to EDI (outbound processing).
- Create a business process for sending the translated IDoc
to EDI file to the trading partner (outbound processing).
- Define inbound and outbound EDI envelopes based on the
EDI type (such as EDIFACT and X12) and:
- Specify the translation maps for inbound and outbound processing
.
- Specify the SAP inbound business process for sending IDocs
to SAP, and the business process for sending translated IDoc to EDI
files to the trading partner.
- Configure SAP inbound and outbound routes for the inbound
and outbound IDocs.
- Configure SAP inbound and outbound cross-references to
tie the SAP inbound route and SAP outbound route to the appropriate
trading partner EDI envelopes.
