In this lesson, we’ll learn how to use the custom routing tool to efficiently direct transaction documents to specific SAP-backed systems. In this scenario, routing is accomplished by leveraging the company code value, where two different SAP systems are connected to SAP Integration Suite, managed gateway for spend management and SAP Business Network.
To achieve this custom routing, we’ll be employing the following specifications:
- Document Type: PurchaseOrderExportRequest
- Data Type: String
- Operator: Equals
Given the context, let's consider a scenario involving two SAP systems identified as Q8JCLNT800 and P8JCLNT800. The Q8JCLNT800 system is associated with a company code value of 1000, while the P8JCLNT800 system utilizes a value of 3000 for its company code. The objective is to create a tailored routing mechanism for both of these systems. This mechanism comes into play when the PurchaseOrderExportRequest document reaches the Managed Gateway for Spend & Network. At this point, the custom routing tool will come into action, directing the document to its appropriate destination based on the company code value found within the payload.
The following simulation will walk you through the steps to create this custom routing.
