16. Send BOP Resource

Resource is Frozen

SendResourceItem

Sends the details of Resource to SAPS/4HANA when it is promoted to Frozen state.

Generates the payload for SAP S/4HANA, using the object id of the Resource item. For details on payload see Send Resource Item

17. Send Bill Of Process (BOP)

WorkPlan is Frozen

SendBillOfProcess

Sends the Bill of Process (BOP) to SAP S/4HANA when the WorkPlan is promoted to the "Frozen" state.

This use case involves generating and sending two payloads to SAP S/4HANA:

  1. BOP Payload:

    • Using the Object ID of the WorkPlan, a Bill of Process (BOP) payload is constructed.

    • While generating this payload, the system queries SAP to fetch the Work Center ID based on the Resource ID (originally sent by "Send BOP Resource" usecase and created in SAP).

    • Once this BOP payload is sent, SAP responds with a BillOfOperationsGroup ID.

    • For details on payload see Send BOP

  2. Product Version Payload:

    • Using the BillOfOperationsGroup ID returned from SAP, a second payload is generated.

    • This payload contains Product Version details linked to the Bill of Process and is sent as a follow-up to SAP.

    • For details on payload see Send BOP Product version
1. Use case Send CA with BOM is enabled by default. To use the use case Send BOM , Send CA with BOM has to be disabled and Send BOM has to be enabled.
2. To enable Use case Send CA with Applicability Date , Send CA has to be disabled . And in Datasetting Send CA with Applicability Date checkbox should be enable.

Below list of processors are available out of the box which sends information to SAP S/4HANA. They can be mapped to the required events.
