Use
In this Customizing activity, you make all the settings you require to create or change an object link to an SAP ERP object and define its attributes, for example, read data, existence check, search help, own persistence, display layout, or calling an object in the SAP system.
This configuration step is required for the following:
- SAP Product Lifecycle Management
- SAP Project System (PS)
- Project Management integration
- Microsoft Project integration
- Microsoft Project Server integration
- SAP Financial and Controlling (FI-CO) integration
- SAP Environmental Compliance (SAP EC) integration
Requirements
Standard settings
The settings have been made in the standard system for all SAP ERP object link types for which program interfaces are already implemented in Portfolio Management.
Activities
The following activities describe which settings you must make if you have created new object types for object links. For more information about the settings you must make to use the object types that already exist, see the attachment SAP Portfolio and Project Management: Configuration in SAP Note 1826389 under Portfolio Management: Configuration -> Business Customizing -> Setting Up Object Links (Portf. Mgmt).
Settings for Integration Processes
You specify the relevant integration settings to link the base systems you are using.
Portfolio Add-On to Object Link Types
You specify the relevant application for a given object link type.
Name of Class in the SAP System per Object Type
Enter a name for an object type of the class in the SAP system that corresponds to the class in Portfolio Management.
You can use the same class in the SAP system for various object types in Portfolio Management, if required.
Standard Consistency Checks per Object Type
Each object link type can have various consistency checks, for example, display authorization, locked, released, deleted, completed, and valid. The standard object link types are delivered with default consistency checks. You can also deactivate these checks.
If you want to develop additional consistency checks for an object type, use the BAdI OLR3_CONSISTENCY in the plug-in system.
Fields per Object Type
On the detail screen of the object, enter the fields for each object type you want to use.
The SAP system reads the data generically from the Table/View in SAP System per Object Type and Method view (see below). You must implement the BAdI OLR3_DATA in the plug-in system for all other tables.
Frames per Object Type
Define frames for the object type, and define a frame type and a sequence for each. You can define a maximum of nine frames for each object type.
Fields per Frame
Define which fields you want to display in the detail view of this frame for a given object type. In addition, define the sequence in which they are to appear. You can define a maximum of 100 fields for each frame.
Table/View in the SAP System per Object Type and Method
For each method (for example, existence check, consistency check, search help, data retrieval), define a table or a view in the SAP system from which the object data is to be read or in which the object is to be checked, and assign it a strategy.
Service for an Object Type
Assign the corresponding service to the linked object type you want to use to open an SAP transaction. You must have already created this service in Customizing under Make Settings for Calling an SAP Transaction.
You can assign a Web server to each service. When you call an SAP transaction, this Web server (if configured) is given a higher priority than the Web server assigned in the Object Link Type Definition view of this Customizing activity (Define Object Link Types).
