FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW

Client Requirement

Create a new integration flow to allow order header information from SAP R3 to be uploaded into Calidus TMS.

Upload orders from SAP, validate versus static data and for mandatory fields, hold any errors in interface errors for review and resolution.


Solution

Dunelm will provide order files in XML format. These files will be transmitted or uploaded to ESI probably by ftp but the method and communication transport to be agreed. ESI will validate and transform the SAP XML message into the OBS XML Trip Order Schema. The ESI output files will be pushed via ftp to the C-TMS platform at OBS data centre in Runcorn.

C-TMS will recognise new files as they are created in the designated /in folder. The files will be validated, any errors saved and reported in the C-TMS interface errors form, and where clean, loaded as order headers with C-TMS.

Scope

This change will be applied to C-TMS system version 10.6.

Note the output files are made unique using date time and a generated 3 digit sequence number.

Data & Mapping

Note that the input status is per order while the output status is per file. ESI will need to create an output file for each group of <status> in the input file. Alternatively, can SAP send separate files of N (new), A (amend) and C (cancel)?
