There is many ways to transfer data between SAP and other systems.
IDOC, BAPI, RFC, Interface, WebService. Your choice will depend on
if update has to be synchronuous, or asynchronous, the volume of data, the
frequency. Data validations and respect of the business logic are
important too.
Each method has pros and cons. In case of IDOC, you will have to monitor
them to be sure everything went well but it runs in background, meaning no
wait time for the user. Compare to BAPI and RFC, users see error messages
right away, update are (usually) done online.
RFC and BAPI can be used with connectors (.NET, JAVA .....and other)
I think you're on a good way.
Pierre

Subject: Master Data Management (Customer / ShipTo)
I have a non-SAP friend whose company is implementing SAP currently. He asked my advice on this:
They are not currently going to use SAP as the master data source for their SoldTo / ShipTo information. They have an established 3rd party system for this.
However, they need this info for billing etc? So they need to migrate and keep this info current. And eventually down the line, they will use SAP as the master data source.
Their lead developer consultant said there was no way SAP could handle this. He's obviously wrong.
The only thing I could come up with is, after all the data is migrated via LSMW, to have an inbound iDoc process the changes.
Can you think of any other viable options?
Thanks,
Robert. |
