3550030 - Handling Supplier Confirmations via EDI or SAP CPI

Symptom

Information about EDI requirements for supplier confirmations and converting vendor email confirmations to SAP orders using CPI.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Resolution

  1. EDI-Based Supplier Confirmation (Both Systems Use EDI)
  • The supplier sends an order confirmation through EDI (using formats like IDoc or EDIFACT).
  • The SAP system automatically receives and processes this confirmation, creating an order in SAP without manual entry.

    2. Using SAP CPI for Email-Based Confirmations (Without EDI)

  • If the supplier doesn't use EDI, SAP Cloud Platform Integration (CPI) can be used to handle email-based order confirmations.
  • The supplier sends an order confirmation by email (e.g., as a PDF or Excel file).
  • SAP CPI extracts the data from the email (like order number, quantities, etc.) and automatically creates an order confirmation in SAP.
