Maintenance End Point Configuration

The configuration task establishes the connection points that Guided Buying uses to integrate with the Request for Estimate process. It involves creating a maintenance end point for Guided Buying integration in SAP and specifying required fields and values. This process enables seamless integration and authentication with external APIs and services.

Context

Administrators add configuration fields that store required URLs, API keys, and OAuth credentials. These fields ensure that Guided Buying can authenticate, route requests, and return users to the appropriate views when they create, review, or cancel RFEs. The setup creates a structured foundation for reliable communication between Guided Buying and SAP Fieldglass during SOW bid activities.

This task can be performed by a configuration manager signed into Configuration Manager.
