Sales Order Integration with Customer Expected Price in SAP S/4HANA Cloud

7 SAP-Integrated Promotions You Can Set Up on Your B2B eCommerce Website

By Ray Mannion, Corevist Solution Architect

SAP-integrated eCommerce promotions bring lots of value to SAP companies and to their customers. eCommerce promotions drive sales for the company, and they provide customers with value which they might not have experienced otherwise. The key is to build these promotions in the right place, using the right SAP functionality, so everything runs smoothly.

Any time you’re integrating Magento eCommerce to SAP (or using any other eCommerce platform, for that matter), you need to get one thing straight: put SAP first as the system of record. SAP is already the master software for business processes, so this is the most logical approach to take. It reduces data duplication and maintenance. This is especially true when you’re setting up SAP-integrated promotions for your B2B eCommerce website. The best SAP B2B eCommerce architecture will establish everything in SAP, then carry that logic to the web and the eCommerce store.

TIP: Seeing what views are missing from your material master

When you create a material master you may not have all the information available to generate all the required views. The nice thing is that there is a table in SAP that stores an entry for each view that has not been created. It would be a simply thing to write a report or better still, create a workflow to ensure that all the required views for you materials have been created before they are made available for use. To review this tables details let's run through an example.

Report to check if finance or sales view missing for a customer master record

ISSUE

You find that your master data process leads to customer records that occasionally have missing sales or finance views. How can we easily find these records and address them.

SOLUTION

1. I like to use Workflow to manage the creation of master data to ensure proactive maintenance of master data views - i.e. When a customer is created and it's missing the sales or finance view then send a work item to the sales or finance team in order to have them create it. The workflow is only terminated once the view has been created. Businesses that need to follow a compliance process often use this technique and have the QA team be the last in the process to release the master data object for general use.

Subscribing to changes in business transactions e.g. Sales Order changes

You may have a need to be proactively notified whenever a particular business object is changed. E.g. If I own a particular Sales Order and I want to ensure that I am immediately made aware of any changes to it then I can do the following to "subscribe" to the sales order changes:

Creating a pricing report without using ABAP

You may have a need to generate an ad-hoc pricing report showing condition records, values and validity dates - Check out this technique as it does not involve ABAP in any way - It's all done through the magic of configuration.

SOLUTION: SAP provides a standard solution that allows you to create a pricing report. The following took me literally 2 minutes to configure and run.
