Standard Integrations Prebuilt for the Siebel Connector for SAP R/3
The Siebel Connector for SAP R/3 includes prebuilt standard integrations, which may be used as-is, or be 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 5 lists the standard integrations.

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.

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.

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 to create both Siebel and SAP sales orders from a single Siebel quote. A real-time synchronous BAPI interface provides an immediate response from SAP upon the submission of the quote. SAP returns the confirmation for the submitted sales order along with the SAP sales order number. All checks performed by the Siebel Sales Order to SAP Sales Order Standard Integration are also performed on Quote to Sales Order.
