Streamlined Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) with Customers:

Imagine a smooth and automated flow of business documents between your SAP system and your trading partners (suppliers and sellers). That's what the SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition EDI for SPS Commerce Flows integration with BTP provides. Here's the breakdown:

Automated Document Handling:

This integration automates the exchange of various EDI documents crucial for your business operations. Navigator’s BTP iFlows are specifically designed to handle different document types, including:

• Purchase Orders (850)
• Purchase Order Acknowledgments (855)
• Shipment Advices (856)
• Invoices (810)
• Inventory Inquiry/Advice (846)

Say goodbye to faxes and hard-to-read handwritten orders, this eliminates the need for manual data entry and processing of these documents, saving time and reducing errors.

Effortless Communication:

The Navigator BTP digital bridge translates data between SAP S/4HANA Cloud system and SPS Commerce, which acts as a VAN (value-added network) for EDI communication.  The BTP digital bridge converts SAP web calls into EDI documents formatted as XML files, just the way SPS Commerce understands. This ensures seamless communication, regardless of the technical differences between the systems.

Specifically, for Customer Material Data (846):

The BTP digital bridge extracts customer material data from your SAP system. This data specifies what products your customers typically order.

Based on this information, the BTP digital bridge automatically creates the needed EDI document (846) tailored for each of your trading partners.

These documents also include relevant warehouse inventory and purchase order data, formatted according to SPS Commerce's specifications.

This ensures your trading partners have the latest information on your inventory levels and any purchase orders they have placed, facilitating smoother collaboration and more accurate order delivery.
