Polling Process (Product Integration)
- Ondřej Tesař
This article describes how SAP Integration Suite can enable product master synchronization between S/4HANA and Pricefx using polling approach.
Steps:
Step 0: Pricefx Setup
Configure the product master table in Pricefx to store the necessary fields from SAP S/4HANA.
Optionally, configure any Product Extension tables in Pricefx to store the necessary fields from SAP S/4HANA.
Optionally, configure any Price Parameter tables in Pricefx to store the necessary fields from SAP S/4HANA.
Step 1: Build Integration Flow to Poll Updates from SAP S/4HANA
You can either add a branch to the existing timer process or create another timer process for synchronizing billing documents. See https://pricefx.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ACCDEV/pages/4410834945/Set+up+Integration+Flows+-+Polling#Step-1%3A-Build-an-Integration-Flow-to-Poll-Updates-from-SAP-S%2F4HANA.
Step 2: Get Latest Updated Products from SAP S/4HANA and Write to Product Master
This integration is duplicated and modified from “Get Latest Updated Entities from SAP S/4HANA and write to Pricefx” from “Sample Artifacts for SAP S/4HANA Integration with Pricefx“ package.
Major steps carried out by this integration flow include:
Initialize properties and SAP AIR key.
Update next polling schedule in Pricefx.
Get updated products by batches: Set up Integration Flows - Polling | Step 2: Get Latest Updated Entities from SAP S/4HANA.
Multicast the list of updated SAP S/4HANA products to integration flows to write to different Pricefx tables. Branch 1 goes to the product master, while branch 2 goes to another integration flow which consists of all other branches. A sample “Multicast Product Response to all Product Entities in Pricefx” is provided in the package.
Step 4: Write Records to Pricefx
These integration flows are where the multicast branches go to. One duplicate of “Write Records to Pricefx” is required for each table.
