3473527 - S/4HC: Creation of Business Partners via Integration Services doesn't Trigger Subsequent Replication

Symptom

  • The integrated landscape setup within the environment is multi system for example SAP S/4HANA Cloud, System A and System C.
  • The flow of data in this landscape is intended to be as follows: System A <-> SAP S/4HANA Cloud <-> System C.
  • Data is replicated to SAP S/4HANA Cloud from the leading system (System A), and following the successful inbound replication into SAP S/4HANA Cloud there is no automatically triggered follow on outbound message to System C.
  • No outbound message is triggered to System C following the successful replication to SAP S/4HANA Cloud from System A.
  • Alternately, after migrating business partners, that is "Customer" or "Supplier" master data using the following migration objects and the communication arrangements for business partner integration" (SAP_COM_0008) is not triggered from SAP S/4HANA Cloud to system A or C.
    • Customer (SIF_CUSTOMER_2)
    • Supplier (SIF_VENDOR_2)
    • Customer - extend existing record by new org levels (SIF_CUST_EXT_2)
    • Supplier - extend existing record by new org levels (SIF_VEND_EXT_2).

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud

Reproducing the Issue

Scenario 1 - Integration Service for example BP SOAP

  1. Bidirectional business partner integration between System A and S/4HANA Cloud has been configured with SAP_COM_0008.
  2. Bidirectional business partner integration has been configured with SAP_COM_0008 between SAP S/4HANA Cloud and System C.
  3. Direct outbound has been set in SAP_COM_0008 for the integration between SAP S/4HANA Cloud and System C, this means that when data is created or changed, it will be immediately replicated into the target system.
  4. When replicating data between System A and SAP S/4HANA Cloud the data flow is successful, however no outbound message is triggered to System C.

Scenario 2 - Migration Cockpit

  1. Migrate business partner master data into the system using the SAP S/4HANA Cloud Migration Cockpit 
  2. The communication arrangement "Business Partner, Customer and Supplier Integration SAP_COM_0008" is not triggered automatically to send out the new BP master data records.

Cause

  • For the integration scenario, the business partner SOAP service (SAP_COM_0008) inbound doesn't trigger further replication of Master data to the connected system to prevent an infinite loop of data replication. 
  • The replication or communication arrangement trigger is disabled during migration since it would cause performance issues and might lead to a heavy load.

Resolution

  • The recommended way to configure such a scenario are as follows:
    System A <-> SAP S/4HANA Cloud
    System A <-> System C
  • If you still wish the data flow to be from System A -> SAP S/4HANA Cloud-> System C, you may use the following SAP S/4HANA Cloud apps 
  • These apps can also be used to send out the data after they are created via the SAP S/4HANA Cloud migration cockpit.
