Explaining Data Ingestion Objects

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to analyze the structure and purpose of Data Ingestion ObjectsOMSA Data Ingestion objects and OMSA Data Objects which can be feed from S4HANA and external systems

Data Ingestion Overview

To use the features of SAP Order Management for sourcing and availability, you must upload data into the system using Data ingestion for industry cloud Solutions.

Data ingestion for industry cloud solutions enables secure and reliable data integration with SAP and non-SAP systems. It allows supported industry cloud solutions to consume data from a shared data foundation instead of integrating with the source systems individually.

Data is replicated from SAP and non-SAP source systems to data ingestion for industry cloud solutions with or without passing through the Cloud Integration capability within SAP Integration Suite for data mapping. The communication is secured using the HTTPS protocol. Data is then consumed by the supported industry cloud solutions.

  • If you use SAP S/4HANA as the source system with which we provide out-of-the-box integration, you can use the Data Replication Framework (DRF) to generate data that can be readily used by the APIs.
  • If you use some other SAP source system or a non-SAP one, you need to convert your data to the JSON format so that it can then be used by the data ingestion APIs.

In either case, you can optionally use the SAP Integration Suite to map the data to the desired structure before sending it to the data ingestion capability.

Further Technical details are provided in Module 4: ICOMF4 - SAP Order Management Foundation and SAP Order Management Sourcing and Availability - Technical Baseline.

APIs

Data ingestion for industry cloud solutions provides you with a set of APIs to ingest data from source systems to your industry cloud solutions.

These APIs are available on the SAP Business Accelerator Hub and come with sample JSON files, schemas, and a try-out tool. You must ensure that data is sent to the APIs in the correct format.

Data Entities

Data entities for data ingestion to SAP Order Management for sourcing and availability:

SAP S/4HANA ERP

  1. Product details (Product ID, Description, and so on)
  2. Site Basic details (Name, Address, and so on)
  3. Inventory Snapshot (Store Inventory)
  4. ATP Snapshot Time series (DC Inventory)
  5. Product/Site Details (Safety Stock)

    Transportation Aspects (For example: Third party TM System)

  6. Transportation Zones
  7. Transportation Lanes
  8. Transportation Service Codes (for example, Express, Normal)

    Other Site Data (For example: Third party External WMS)

  9. Site Transportation Zone
  10. Site Maximum Capacity or Maximum Consignment Capacity (Max number of orders per day)
  11. Site Pick Pack Cost
