Understanding How to Load Contracts into the Parent System

Use the CS_PROCUREMENT_CNTRCT message and its service operation to load contracts into the parent system by activating the inbound routing for the CS_PROCUREMENT_CNTRCT_IN service operation routing if it exists. If the inbound routing message does not exist, you can create a new routing.

External integration users must set the CS_CNTRCT_LOAD field in the syndication header record users must set the CS_CNTRCT_LOAD field in the syndication header record (CS_CT_HDR_MWRK) to Y. Otherwise, the service operation handler processes the contract as a syndicated contract and future updates to the same contract will be applied to the system.

The system checks the contract ID against the cross reference table (CS_SND_PAR_XREF) to see if the contract ID exists. If the ID exists, the system updates the contract, otherwise, it creates a new contract using the next auto-generated number.

When Integration Broker receives the service operation, the CS_STAGE handler validates the incoming CS_PROCUREMENT_CNTRCT message. If the validation passes, the system loads the contract into the parent system. For more information about processing inbound exceptions:
