Abstract

The seamless integration between SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) and EDI systems is essential for efficient B2B communication within the SAP ecosystem. However, the standard package "Cloud Integration - Trading Partner Management V2" lacks the functionality to send acknowledgments to the SAP system for its transactions to the EDI system. This paper proposes a solution by incorporating custom iflows into the integration suite (Middleware) to enable the transmission of positive and negative acknowledgments from the EDI system and updating IDoc outbound statuses from 03 to 16 (for positive acknowledgments) and 17 (for negative acknowledgments). This enhancement facilitates fully automated processes for SAP clients without relying on external system access.
