Re: ERP-to-EDI "Translation Definitions"
SAP used to pass out MS Excel spreadsheets with some X12 mappings at the EDI
class. The mappings listed below also used to be available at
http://www.saptech.com. I couldn't find them when I just visited. I have
the following: from SAP.
Generic 856 Pick Pack Advance Ship Notice to SHPMNT02 IDoc
Generic 810 Invoice Mapping Document
Generic 850 Inbound Orders Mapping Document
They may help. They don't seem to have a copyright notice so I should be
able to post them in the Files section if anyone wants them.
You can always do what I have done when a new SAP release comes out and that
is to enter field specific data in all relevant fields for one customer, one
material, one location, etc. Then run through the order-to-cash cycle and
divine the SAP functionality that way. Presumably this might work for other
SAP business scenarios. I found my method was more reliable and efficient
than pouring over all the code which for me, at least, has gotten more
difficult as the function modules have been upgraded. You do have to allow
for the EDPAR table also. Not a trivial exercise but as a consultant I
found it well worth my effort. Unfortunately, I do not give these mappings
away.
