Cross-Client Settings in ERP

Cross-Client Settings in ERP
You use this process to prepare SAP ERP for the communication with SAP Extended Warehouse
Management (EWM). The settings affect all clients of the ERP system and require authorizations
for cross-client settings on user and client level.
Process
Contact your system administrator to carry out the following steps:
1. Activating Business Functions in Switch Framework in ERP
2. Activating Business Transaction Events in ERP
3. Configuring Logical Systems in ERP
Result
The ERP system is now ready to communicate with EWM.
Activating Business Functions in Switch Framework in ERP
You use this procedure to activate business functions in the Switch Framework. To benefit from
the tight integration of SAP ERP and SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM), you must
activate the following business function in ERP:
Business Function
LOG_LE_INTEGRATION
Description
LE, Extended Warehouse Management Integration
For more information, see the business function documentation in transaction SFW5.
If you use business processes other than the preconfigured processes in the standard warehouse,
check the documentation of the following EWM-related business functions in ERP and decide if
they are relevant for your warehousing processes:
Business Function
LOG_PP_EWM_MAN
LOG_SCM_MEAN_INT
OPS_ADVRETURNS_1
OPS_ADVRETURNS_2
Description
EWM Integration into Manufacturing
SCM, CIF Transfer of Additional GTINs (EANs/UPCs) for Material
Advanced Returns Management
Advanced Returns Management 2
Business Function
SPE_CI_1
LOG_TM_ORD_INT_II
Description
Service Parts Management: Innovations in ERP
ERP-TMS: Order and Invoice Integration
Procedure
Contact your system administrator to carry out the following steps in an ERP client allowing
cross-client settings and the creation of workbench requests. If necessary, use the workbench
request to transport the settings to other ERP systems.
1. On the SAP Easy Access screen, call transaction SFW5.
2. Activate the business function that you want to use. For running the preconfigured
business processes in the standard warehouse, you must activate business function
LOG_LE_INTEGRATION (LE, Extended Warehouse Management Integration).
Activating Business Transaction Events in ERP
You use this procedure to activate business transaction events (BTEs) for Core Interface (CIF) in
SAP ERP. BTEs are used to replicate changes to master data from the ERP system to SAP
Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) immediately.
In this procedure, you activate BTEs for CIF in the ERP system. In the procedure Preparing
Initial Transfer of Master Data and Organizational Units Using CIF in ERP, you determine on
client level which master data changes are transferred by means of BTEs to EWM.
Procedure
Carry out the following steps in your ERP customizing client and transport if necessary the
settings to other ERP systems:
1. Activate online transfer using BTEs in Customizing for Integration with Other SAP
Components under Advanced Planning and Optimization Basic Settings for the Data
Transfer Change Transfer Change Transfer for Transaction Data Activate Online
Transfer Using BTE .
2. Select the ND-APO (New Dimension Plug-In APO) and NDI (New Dimension
Integration) checkboxes.
3. Save your changes.
Note
In this document, Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) refers to the Core Interface (CIF)
function and not to the APO component.
Note
If the ERP system has an active EA-RETAIL (SAP Enterprise Extension Retail) component, you
must additionally register interface modules for BTEs. For more information, see SAP Note
1508876 .
Configuring Logical Systems in ERP
You use this procedure to define the logical systems in SAP ERP.
Procedure
Carry out the first step of the procedure in your ERP customizing client allowing cross-client
settings and transport if necessary the settings to other ERP systems. Carry out the subsequent
steps in all ERP systems (in a client allowing cross-client settings) that you want to connect to
SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM).
1. Define a logical system for each ERP client (for example, ERPCLNT001) and a logical
system for each EWM client (for example, EWMCLNT001) in Customizing for Integration
with Other SAP Components under Extended Warehouse Management Basic Settings
for Setting Up the System Landscape Name Logical System .
Transport if necessary these settings to other ERP systems.
Recommendation
Use the same naming conventions for the logical systems as for the RFC destinations.
2. Assign the ERP logical system defined in the first step to the ERP client (for example, in
system ERP, assign ERPCLNT001 to client 001) in Customizing for Integration with Other
SAP Components under Extended Warehouse Management Basic Settings for Setting
Up the System Landscape Assign Logical System to a Client .
3. Specify in each ERP system the system type and release of each EWM logical system
defined in the first step.
In Customizing for Integration with Other SAP Components under Extended

Warehouse Management Basic Settings for Setting Up the System Landscape Specify
SAP APO Release , enter the values as shown in the following table for the EWM
logical system:
Field
Value
Log. System
<Logical System Name>,
Syst. type
SAP_SCMB
Release
<System Release>,
for example, EWMCLNT001
for example, 702
Example
In a typical system landscape, you proceed as shown in the following examples.
Example 1: Logical System Setup in a Distributed System

Landscape with EWM Installed on an Own Server
1. In the ERP customizing system (for example, system ERC client 001) you define a logical
system for each ERP system/client connected to EWM and for each EWM system/client
connected to ERP. For example, you define two ERP logical systems (ERP test and ERP
production) and two EWM logical systems (EWM test and EWM production). You
transport if necessary these settings from the ERP customizing system to other ERP
systems (ERP test and ERP production).
2. In each ERP system connected to EWM you assign the ERP logical system to the
corresponding ERP client so that each ERP client knows its own logical system. For
example, in test system ERT client 001 you assign the logical system ERTCLNT001 to
client 001.
3. In each ERP system connected to EWM you specify for the EWM logical system the
system type and the release of the corresponding EWM system. For example, in test
system ERT client 001 you specify the system type and release of the EWM test system
EWTCLNT001.
4. In each ERP client connected to EWM you assign the EWM logical system to the
corresponding RFC destination. For example, in test system ERT client 001 you assign the
logical system EWTCLNT001 to the RFC destination EWTCLNT001. This activity is not a
cross-client activity. For more information, see Assigning EWM Logical Systems to RFC
Destinations in ERP.
Note
Only the definition of the logical systems can be transported from your ERP customizing client
to other ERP systems/clients. The setup of the logical systems in ERP cannot be transported from
your ERP customizing client to other ERP systems. Therefore you must repeat the steps in every
ERP system connected to EWM.
Example 1: Logical System Setup in a Distributed System Landscape with EWM Installed on an
Own Server
Example 2: Logical System Setup in a Distributed System

Landscape with EWM Installed as an Add-On to ERP
The steps represented in the figure below are the same as in example 1.
In case EWM is installed as add-on to ERP you still need two logical systems per client: one
logical system for ERP and one logical system for EWM. The EWM logical system is necessary
for the qRFC communication from the ERP application to the EWM application. The ERP
logical system is used as own logical system.
Example 2: Logical System Setup in a Distributed System Landscape with EWM Installed as an
Add-On to ERP
