Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

SAP EDI can look straightforward when everything works.A trading partner sends an order. SAP receives it. A sales order appears. A delivery is created, a despatch message is sent and an invoice follows.The real challenge begins when something does not happen as expected.Practical SAP EDI is a hands-on reference guide to understanding, configuring and troubleshooting EDI integration in SAP environments.Written for functional consultants, application support analysts, integration professionals, key users and anyone developing practical SAP integration knowledge, the book follows the complete message journey - from the trading partner and EDIFACT message through mapping and integration to SAP IDocs and application processing.Rather than treating EDI, EDIFACT and IDocs as separate subjects, the book shows how the pieces fit together and, more importantly, how to investigate them when something goes wrong.Topics include: - EDI and B2B integration fundamentals- Understanding and reading EDIFACT messages- ORDERS, ORDRSP, DESADV and INVOIC- SAP IDoc architecture and message processing- Message types, basic types and segments- Partner profiles and WE20 configuration- Ports, process codes and inbound processing- Outbound IDoc and output processing- Mapping EDIFACT data into SAP structures- Partner, material, quantity and unit conversions- SAP Integration Suite and modern integration landscapes- Monitoring inbound and outbound interfaces- IDoc status investigation and reprocessing- WE02, WE05, WE19 and BD87- Missing, duplicate and incorrectly processed messages- Real-world troubleshooting techniques- Trading-partner onboarding and testing- Configuration, monitoring and support reference materialThroughout the book, a fictional trading partner is followed from initial onboarding through configuration, testing, live message processing and troubleshooting. Worked examples demonstrate how an external business message becomes SAP data and how to identify the point at which an integration has failed.The aim is not simply to provide another list of SAP transactions or EDIFACT segments.It is to help you answer questions such as: Why did the customer send an order but SAP never receive it?Why does the IDoc exist but no sales order was created?Why is the message in status 51 or 64?Why did one trading partner work while another failed?Why did SAP send the wrong value?Why does the IDoc show successful processing when the resulting business document is still wrong?Practical SAP EDI is designed to be both a learning guide and a desk reference - something you can return to when an interface problem lands in front of you and you need to know where to look next.Follow the message. Find the break. Fix the flow.
