Would you like to migrate from your legacy B2B gateway solution towards SAP NetWeaver Process Orchestration with the B2B add-on but are concerned about the effort this might take? Then take a look at our new SAP NetWeaver Process Orchestration Rapid Deployment Solution for Electronic Data Interchange (RDS for EDI). With this solution B2B integration scenarios related to the order-to-cash and/or procure-to-pay process of SAP ERP are being implemented through a service. Fixed scope and price provides maximum predictability and lowers risk. As usual this RDS comprises of SAP software, an implementation service and content.

Software scope: B2B add-on & predefined mappings

The RDS for EDI integration comprises of the B2B add-on for SAP NetWeaver Process Orchestration and pre-defined mappings and configurations for the order-to-cash and procure-to-pay process allowing to convert SAP IDocs into EDI messages of the EDIFACT or ANSI X.12 standard and vice versa. Predefined mappings ensure a fast implementation at high quality allowing to onboard your business partners smoothly. Please note that this RDS technically runs on the SAP NetWeaver Process Integration product. This means that you don't require a SAP NetWeaver Process Orchestration license or SAP NetWeaver BPM for being able to use this RDS.

Service scope: Selectable number of B2B integration scenarios

The predefined service allows you to go live with your new B2B integration scenarios on SAP NetWeaver Process Orchestration in roughly 5 weeks assuming your business partners will be ready on time, too. In summary the following services are being delivered as part of the RDS:

  • Installation of the B2B add-on
  • Deployment of the predefined mappings
  • Enablement workshop
  • Implementation of a selectable number of B2B integration scenarios based on the predefined mappings in a non-productive environment
  • Go live support

As you can select the number of B2B integration scenarios to be implemented through this predefined service you have the choice of leveraging this RDS as jumpstart for your migration project only or to do further migrations with it.
