Connection of External Systems

Use

In the leasing deal process, you can use a connection to an external procurement system (for example, SAP SRM) to order or commission the leased object from a dealer or manufacturer. You can also check invoices that relate to your purchase order and transfer the information to the lease quotation.

Moreover, you can reconcile service invoices that are entered in external systems (for example, agency business) with documents in the CRM system.

The data exchange required for this communication process takes place via a middleware XI adapter that connects your systems.

Integration

• You use CRM Middleware to replicate, synchronize, and distribute data. In the CRM Middleware, adapters convert inbound and outbound messages.

  For more information, see CRM Middleware .

• You use SAP NetWeaver Exchange Infrastructure (SAP NetWeaver XI) to process the exchange of data between the systems.

  For more information, see SAP NetWeaver Exchange Infrastructure .
