Session M302: Manufacturing Integration with xMII

September 27, 2006

SAP AG 2005, Adaptive Manufacturing / Andy De / 2

Topics

What kind of data and processes are available to xMII?

Why is integration easier with xMII?

Others?

How does xMII integrate with R/3 & ECC data?

SAP Transaction Access

Keys to SAP Transactional Access from xMII

xMII can execute any SAP remote-enabled SAP through any connection method that supports posting XML documents into the mySAP Business Suite

Transactions in SAP execute function modules

A subset of all function modules are remote enabled

Remote-enabled functions have XML representations (BAPIs, & RFCs)

Also true of customer developed functions and IDOCs

The xml schemas are imported into xMII for use in its processes

Posting these documents into mySAP ERP executes the functions the same as if performed from SAPGUI

Key xMII Features

Addressing composite application requirements

�Collective features of xMII

Plant-focused process authoring

�Plant level-IT support

Provides key functions for plant-to-SAP integration

�SAP Access

�Simplified processes

�End User simplification

Best Practice Templates


xMII Best Practices Templates

xMII Best Practices Templates:

� Pre-configured xMII transactions that execute one or more remote-enabled function in R/3 or ECC for a specific business or data scenario.

� Content includes xMII intellectual property gained over years of use that simplifies or accelerates the use of the function in a customer application.

� Content is specifically oriented to using the SAP functions in the shop floor operations environment.

These processes are web service accessible by the nature of xMII.

� Not-to-be-confused with SAP ESA Enterprise Services

Plan:

� Create a collection of “building block” transactions that expose many of the basic remote-enabled functions through xMII

� Create “2nd & 3rd”level transactions using the building blocks for more advanced or industry specific processes.

� Create Nth level transactions for use as the basis for sophisticated composite applications.

100 templates available by year-end

Templates will be delivered via SAP Developer Network (SDN)

• 2nd Level – Building blocks for using 1st level transactions in a specific scenario






• 3rd Level – customer specific use case




• 3rd Level – customer specific use case

• 4th to Nth Level – Composite Application specific scenarios


Template Categories

The current categories for the building block transactions are:

�Materials Data

�Material Movements

�Batches

�Production Orders

�Process Orders

�Plant Maintenance Notifications

�Plant Maintenance Work Orders

�Quality

�Planned Orders

�Repetitive Manufacturing

� IDOCs

The collection of xMII transactions will be continuously evolve with all content posted and maintained on SDN.

xMII Integration and ESA Enterprise Services

xMII SAP Function Best Practice templates

� Today: ‘Consumer’ of SAP business processes and data via BAPIs, RFCs and IDOCs

� Future: ‘Consumer’ of SAP business processes and data via Enterprise Services, BAPIs, RFCs and IDOCs

� Templates will be created, modified or optimized to take advantage of the latest enterprise services as they become available.

Key Takeaways

� xMII is a user of the data and processes from its data sources – SAP or plant systems

� ESA services will expand the nature of the data and processes accessible to xMII

� The Best Practice templates will adhere to the data structures of the Enterprise Services as available to simplify transition from Remote-enable functions to services based processes.
