Check Out a Cart in the SAP Commerce Cloud B2B Storefront

Now that everything is configured in SAP S/4HANA Cloud, SAP Cloud Integration and SAP Commerce Cloud, you can place an order on the SAP Commerce Cloud B2B Power Tools storefront.

  1. Navigate to the SAP Commerce Cloud B2B Power Tools storefront.

    Note

    You won’t see a product replicated from SAP S/4HANA Cloud (for example, Powerdrill [PSR 1090]) on the homepage unless you add it to the WHAT'S NEW or Our Bestselling Products product carousel component from the Backoffice or SmartEdit.
  2. Log in to the storefront as the replicated B2B customer.
  3. Hover your mouse over the My Account menu from the top-right corner under the B2B customer’s name, and choose My Company from the dropdown.
  4. You'll land on the My Company page.

    You can choose Units, Cost Centers, Budgets, and so on, to check the B2B Unit hierarchy, cost centers, and budgets assigned to the B2B customer. You can also check them in the Backoffice as an administrator.

  5. Search for the product replicated from SAP S/4HANA Cloud (for example, Powerdrill [PSR 1090]).

    Enter psr 1090 in the search box on the top, and choose the PSR 1090 product from the search result suggestion dropdown. It takes you to the product detail page. You can also hit Enter on the search box, and it takes you to the product list page. Either way, you can add the product to the cart. Once the material master data in SAP S/4HANA Cloud is replicated to SAP Commerce Cloud as products through Cloud Integration, they'll be pulled from the relational database and indexed, then written into the Solr document database for searching. So, the product information you’re seeing on the search suggestion or the product list page is read from the Solr database.

  6. Add the replicated product to the cart, and check out.

    Material in SAP S/4HANA Cloud doesn’t have images, so when replicated to SAP Commerce Cloud, the product images will be missing. You can upload product images from the Backoffice as media items.

    Choose the + plus icon under Qty to add one more item to the cart, and choose the Add To Cart button.

    On the cart popup, choose Proceed To Checkout to move to the checkout steps.

  7. On the Method of Payment step, choose Account for Payment method, and enter an optional Purchase order number.

    Choose Continue to move to the next step.

  8. On the Shipping Address step, choose Continue to accept the prepopulated cost center and shipping address for the B2B customer.
  9. On the Delivery Mode step, choose Continue to accept the default delivery method, which is Standard Deliver (3–5 business days), and go to the next step.
  10. On the Review step, choose Place Order to accept all prepopulated and default values, and agree to the Terms & Conditions.

    After the order is created in SAP Commerce Cloud, you'll see the order confirmation page on the storefront.

Verify Order Creation in the SAP Commerce Cloud Backoffice

After you place an order on the SAP Commerce Cloud storefront, you can check and verify the order information in the Backoffice.

  1. Navigate to the SAP Commerce Cloud Backoffice as an administrator.
  2. Choose OrderOrders on the left side navigation menu.
  3. Choose your order on the right side.

    You can search by the order number you see on the storefront after checkout, or on the order history page. In the editor area at the bottom, you can see the order detail information, for example, currency, timestamp, pricing, tax, entries, and so on.
