Few Cents on SAP HCI EDI with 997

Few of my SAP integration consultant colleagues asked me about SAP HCI EDI integration details, so i thought i will share few cents with everyone

SAP has released HCI EDI integrations for enterprise license account holders only

The technical procedure of HCI edi integration is almost like a see-burger or B2B ADD ON using splitter to split the messages and converter to convert edi to xml and there after mapping conversion

Step1: Download available schema (xsd) ex:850 PO from portal to local NFS

Step 2:-  Import the schema’s to i-flow

Step 3:- Use EDI Splitter to split Interchange document and EDI to XML converter to convert EDI data to xml and mapping conversion to convert EDI XMl to IDOC XML

Give all the required parameters mentioned in below help documents and maintain control number ranges and other inputs then execute checks for errors, deploy and test
