Interface In between SAP and MULESOFT

Applies to

SAP ECC, MULESOFT.

Summary

In the New IT world the businesses has to be connected with Cloud application to run their business meritoriously in a compatible mode with new generation devices like Mobiles, Tabs. MULESOFT is a state-of-the-art middleware application in the current market to interact easily and effectively with core business applications like SAP.

This document is trying to illustrate how easily the interface can be built in between SAP to COUPA, and Mulesoft as middleware. New IT world this kind of interface is commonly built in the business.

1. Introduction

This Document gives an in-detail approach to create an interface in between SAP and COUPA, with help of MULESOFT middleware application. It has step by step activites to be done in both SAP and MULESOFT applications. Technically Mulesoft integration is very stress-free comparatively with other middleware applications to interact with could base applications.

  2.  Overview

Requirement:  SAP sends the data by running a report program to COUPA and    COUPA sends back acknowledgement to SAP. COUPA is a cloud based P2P application.

Solution:

1. Create an RFC FM which sends data to COUPA.
2. Create a Z_table, to store the acknowledgement from COUPA.
3. Create a RFC FM which receives acknowledgement from COUPA.
4. Create a Z_program and call the RFC FM which sends data to COUPA with help of Mulesoft.
5. Create RFC connection in between SAP and Mulesoft, usually this connection will be available when Mulesoft was set up as Middleware in the systems environment.

3. SAP ECC objects creation

       3.1. Create a RFC FM which sends data to COUPA.

Before creating FM, need a Function group, so create function group first.

Go to Tcode SE37 and choose the GOTO Menu to create Function Group.
