Function documentationInbound Interfaces For Remote Function Call (RFC) Communication

 

The Demand Data Foundation (DDF) module in SAP Customer Activity Repository uses the inbound interfaces to receive data from other systems via Remote Function Calls.

Prerequisites

  • You have ensured that DDF is configured.

Features

DDF provides the following inbound interfaces:

  • Master Data

  • Time Series

  • Offers

Activities

DDF receives the data via RFC. By default, the data is first saved in the staging tables. From there you transfer it to the production tables.

When the system is running demand modeling or forecasting services at the same time that it is importing the data, it saves the data in the staging tables for the following message types:

  • Product

  • Location

  • Product hierarchy

  • Location hierarchy

  • Product location

  • Inventory

  • Offer

  • Sales

  • Store Traffic

  • Generic

  • Syndicated

Note Note

You can choose to bypass the staging tables in Customizing under Start of the navigation path Cross-Application Components Next navigation step Demand Data Foundation Next navigation step Basic Settings Next navigation step Integration Next navigation step Define Import Settings End of the navigation path. In this case, the imported data is saved directly in the production tables.

End of the note.

You can review erroneous records in the Monitor Imports function.
