Disclaimer: the integration flow has been tested ad-hoc against SAP's Sandbox API as we don't have a SAP license. If you notice any bugs or suggestions for improvements, feel free to report them here.
This project is a proof of concept and a guidance for customers wanting to interface SAP to Factbird.
Common use cases include:
-
Import process orders into Factbird
-
Import products into Factbird (TBA)
-
Manage process order execution from within Factbird (executing and terminating of a process order) (TBA)
Download a released integration flow from https://github.com/FactbirdHQ/integrations/releases and upload that to SAP Integration Suite as a new API.
The integration process consists of a number of subprocesses:
- Setup (a test setup which should be substituted for an actual event source, i.e. ProcessOrder.Changed)
- Factbird request dispatching
- Process order fetching
The integration example targets SAP's sandbox API, this needs to be adjusted in order to target an S4/HANA instance or some other endpoint that provides the Process Order OData v2 API in (3).
Factbird-related configurations are to be done in the Factbird Request Dispatch (2) process, the endpoint needs to be adjusted to the Factbird instance you are using, e.g. api.cloud.factbird.com with a long-lived API key issued by support that is privileged on behalf of a specific user.
