Use
There is the option of integrating any external systems for processing WC documents.
The most prevalent example is the integration of a graphic planning system which you can use to process items for WC documents.
Integrating the two systems is realized through an individual RFC server, which acts as middleware between the SAP system and the external system. The server consists of two components:
- Generic component
This is the statistical server library (WCMRFC.LIB) delivered by SAP. It gives you RFC functions tailored for WC documents which simplify the development of a specific RFC server. This library encapsulates relevant functions of the RFC server which are included in the standard RFC library.
- Individual component
This is an executable program based on the above server library. You must develop this program additionally to implement an individual integration with a specific external system.
Requirements
Standard settings
Activities
You must activate the graphic WCM planning in the application profile and enter the name of a logical RFC destination. Each RFC server that acts as middleware between the SAP system and the external system must use a connection with this destination.
The settings named are valid at the level of the planning plant.
Effects
If you have made the required settings, a corresponding menu function appears on the item overview of the WC document. If the user executes this function, the RFC server is called up, thereby allowing the WC document to be processed via the external system.
If you change item data in the external system, then a consistency check is performed automatically, before it can be processed further in the SAP system.
