Maintaining Receipt Request Integration-Specific Configurations in the Managed Gateway Integration Project

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to maintain the receipt-request integration-specific configurations in the Managed Gateway Integration Project

Receipt Request Integration-Specific Configurations in the Managed Gateway Integration Project

In this lesson, you will learn how to manage Goods Receipt-specific parameters within the integration project on the Managed Gateway portal. It is assumed that you have already learned and understood the following activities:

  • Enable the Managed Gateway from your SAP Business Network Buyer Account and create an Integration Project.
  • Select "Product = Ariba Network" in the Basic Information section of the integration project in the Managed Gateway.
  • Define connection information in the integration project to establish connectivity between the Managed Gateway and your backend SAP on-premise system.
  • Define the Cross Reference Parameter for Goods Receipt (Document Type – ReceiptRequest).
  • Define Cross References for UOM (Unit of Measures).
  • Define the Cross Reference Lookup Table for Goods Receipt (this is not required for the SAP Business Network Goods Receipt Integration).

These activities are covered in the course titled Deep Dive into SAP Integration Suite Managed Gateway for Spend Management and SAP Business Network, which is part of the Learning Journey, Administering SAP Integration Suite, Managed Gateway for Spend Management and SAP Business Network.

In this lesson, we will focus specifically on the configurations related to Goods Receipt integration. It is necessary to define the values in the parameter fields you wish to map. The SAP Ariba administrator will add the transactions and their corresponding parameters. You can set the values for both test and production environments.

Define the Parameters for Goods Receipt

Follow these steps to define the parameters for Goods Receipt:

  1. Navigate to the Managed Gateway for Spend&Network for Buyer portal > Edit the Integration Project created for integration with Ariba Network (SAP Business Network) > Traverse to the Cross Reference Configuration Parameter tab. Image of step 1.
  2. From the Select Document Type field dropdown, select ReceiptRequest and choose Add. Image of step 2.
  3. Select the Pencil icon of the added entry for the ReceiptRequest document type to maintain the parameters. Image of step 3.
  4. On the ReceiptRequest;0;cXML popup screen, maintain the following parameters:
    1. Comp Acknw Line Text ID: Provide the text ID of a specific comment field at the line item level that you would want to map in a Component Acknowledgement received from SAP Business Network. This is only used in the Supply Chain Collaboration flow.
    2. Receipt Default Lang: Always maintain "en" for English.
    3. Comp Acknw Header Text ID: Provide the text ID of a specific comment field at the header level that you would want to map in a Component Acknowledgement received from SAP Business Network. This is only used in the Supply Chain Collaboration flow.
  5. Choose Save.

Note

  • Text ID: The Text ID is an identifier that differentiates between various types of texts/comments. In the SAP system, you can find more than one text/comment field at the header and the line item level. A unique Text ID identifies each of these text/comment fields.
  • If you want a different value in the PROD Environment, uncheck the box, Use same values.
