Confidential

Responsibilities:

• Working on developing and updating outbound EDI 880 maps with various trading partners using the SEEBURGER adapter on a PI 7.1 EHP1 system. This involved creating a common design mapping template using standard SEEBURGER maps for the INVOIC invoice IDOC that could be applied to other trading partners with modifications. Also involved in enhancement of the INOVIC IDOC function module specific to requirements of certain trading partners
• Worked on an interface to send miscellaneous goods movements from a third-party system called SCALE to SAP using the sender File Adapter and receiver IDOC adapter. The Quality of service was EOIO and the IDOCS were processed via an inbound queue (QRFC) in SAP which ensured that the transactions were processed in the right order. This also involved development of a custom ABAP function module using the WMMBXY message type as a template to process the inbound goods movements.

Confidential

Responsibilities:

• Work on design and development of a rules engine for using configurable rules to validate incoming EDI messages 862 and 830 (forecast and JIT schedules). This involved:
• Creating and extension for the existing DELINS IDOC to include customer price information
• Create a new function module for processing the incoming DELINS IDOC's. This function module creates an intermediate document which is the holding place for tracking errors from the IDOCs
• Develop a rules engine function module which has the capability to be able to process configurable business rules so that they can be selectively applied based on the incoming message type as well as the processing partner. The rules engine has the capability to evaluate rules by comparing the incoming data with existing scheduling agreement data and generating different block in cases of error. The rules engine was run while creating the intermediate document - so the evaluation generated blocks in case of error which was subsequently evaluated by the business user. This allowed the user to evaluate the cause of error before the IDOC can be applied to the scheduling agreement
• Developed a batch program which looks for clean intermediate documents and applies the changes to the eventual scheduling agreements
• Provide support for the roll out of the rule’s engine to various partners
• Create an interface between SAP and an engineering design application called SmarTeam which uses ABAP proxy on the SAP side and a web service call to a SmarTeam API using the SOAP adapter on a PI 7.1 server.

• Work on design and development of an interface to upload inventory data from a stored procedure in an SAP Business one system to a BW web service data source. The sender side is a JDBC adapter and the receiver is an ABAP proxy that makes a call to an ODS web service that updates a PSA on BW. An event is generated at the end of the data transfer to close the open process chain and update the info provider
• Create file to file interfaces to transfer data between application systems and SAP using RFC adapter
