SAP®

The requirements for the SAP® ERP system that are relevant for the smooth operation of IFConneX are described below. These include:

• Supported systems
• Required authorization
• Function modules used by IFConneX
• Single Sign-On
• Document management
• SAP notes

System requirements

To be able to use IFConneX to its full extent, the transports provided by INNOFACE must be imported in the INNOFACE namespace using ABAP code. INNOFACE will send you the transports required for your system. For a description of the function modules contained in the transport, see IFConneX Standard Transport.

All SAP R/3 4.7, S4HANA on premises, and SAP systems starting with ECC 5.0 SAPKB70014 with and without Unicode databases are supported. Older versions can possibly be subject to limitations.

To be able to use the current features of ABAP Objects, improved interface coding is provided for SAP systems whose SAP Basis components have version 7.40, SP level 007 or higher.

For older SAP systems, Innoface continues to provide the older implementation of the SAP interface. From a functional perspective, this implementation is sufficient in most cases.

Objects

IFConneX works with the following objects:

• Material master
• Document info record
• Change master
• Bill of material, bill of document, and so on.
• Routing

Connectivity

The communication with the SAP systems takes place exclusively via official SAP protocols. The required ports are described in detail in the SAP document TCP/IP Ports Used by SAP Applications.

Gateway

For actions that are carried out via ReleaseEngine modules, Access Control Lists (ACL) must be maintained in SAP by the customer.

License

Each logon of a user to an SAP system via IFConneX requires a corresponding SAP user license.
