Standard Integrations

The Siebel Connector for SAP R/3 includes prebuilt standard integrations, which may be used as-is, or tailored to meet specific SAP interface business requirements. These standard integrations include Siebel screens, views, applets, workflows, Business Services, and Business Service data maps. Together these elements provide a link between Siebel eBusiness applications and SAP R/3. Table 6 lists the standard integrations.

Data Class	Objects Integrated
Master Data	Accounts
	Contacts
	Products
Transaction Data	Sales Orders

The Business Service data maps provide preconfigured mappings between equivalent entities in both applications. Preconfigured mappings simplify configuration and consist of the most commonly required data, and take into account the complicated entity relationships contained in both applications. These mappings provide a foundation for any desired customization work and are modifiable.

SAP Master Data

Table 7 lists the standard integrations provided for SAP Master Data.

Table 7. Standard Integrations for SAP Master Data
Integration Data	Description
Account to Customer	The Account to Customer Standard Integration uses synchronous BAPI communication as well as SAP's ALE communication services to create and update SAP customer information from Siebel Accounts. Using Siebel views you can enter SAP customer information directly into the Siebel application, including customer sales area specific data.
Customer to Account	The Customer to Account Standard Integration uses SAP's ALE communication services to accept SAP Customer IDOCs and transform them into Siebel Accounts. This provides not only the initial load of data between SAP and Siebel applications, but also the periodic high volume synchronization of data.
Material to Product	The Material to Product Standard Integration uses ALE to accept Material IDOCs from SAP R/3 and transform them into Siebel Products. Also transformed are product division and sales area information. The Material to Product standard integration can provide an initial load of data from SAP to the Siebel application, as well as support periodic high volume synchronization of data.

SAP Transaction Data

Table 8 lists the standard integrations provided for SAP Transaction Data. For more information, read Standard Integrations.

Table 8. Standard Integrations for SAP Transaction Data
Integration Name	Description
Account Order History	Use this to view and import sales orders for a given account from SAP into a Siebel application in real time. Imported sales orders are also updated automatically with the latest SAP data.
Siebel Sales Order to SAP Sales Order	Use this to create sales orders within Siebel applications and submit those sales orders to SAP. A real-time synchronous BAPI interface provides an immediate response from SAP upon the submission of the sales order. SAP checks both credit and product availability. Pricing may be done by either SAP or Siebel applications. The status of these sales orders may be obtained in real time or in the background after they are created.
Sales Order Updates	The Sales Order Updates standard integration automatically updates the Sales Order in the Siebel database when it changes in SAP. This integration uses SAP's ALE interface, which allow SAP to trigger the status update by sending a sales order change IDOC message to the Siebel applications.
Quote to Sales Order	Use this process to create Siebel and SAP orders from a single quote. Siebel quotes are first converted to a Siebel order. The Siebel order can then be submitted to SAP. A real-time synchronous BAPI interface provides an immediate response from SAP upon the submission of the sales order. SAP checks both credit and product availability. Pricing may be done by either SAP or Siebel applications.
