sap downstream web interfaces
DESCRIPTION
Concepts and Sample Solutions of SAP – WEB Interfaces for the OIL-Downstream industryTRANSCRIPT
Introduction
• One of the important challenges in a SAP implementation is its integration with other systems in the enterprise; another one is WEB enabling and reporting.
• SAP provides a basic infrastructure for integrations that is secure, efficient and transparent.

Advantages
Data is created/read in real-time in/from SAP. User friendly screens without extraneous fields. Minimal training time. Knowledge of how to navigate in SAP is not
required.
Examples - Downstream
• Import/Export Data: Reads data from different modules of SAP, Save it in a local database, generate data equivalences and export it to other systems in a pre defined format.
• Margin Analysis: Reads sales data from SD module, cost of goods sold from CO Module, saves data in a SQL flat table and produces margin analysis in different dimensions and units.
• Purchase Order for Transport Service: Reads transport operations registered in SAP (IS-OIL), aggregates contract conditions, generates the conciliation sheet, generates the SAP PO of the service, and liberates it.

Conclusion
• Although SAP is intended to cover all activities in the enterprise other auxiliary or activity specific systems, will exist and for that integration with SAP is essential.
• ABAP is the official programming language of SAP, but every thing that can be done in ABAP also can be done in other programming languages using RFC and BAPIs.
