In an external SAP or non-SAP system, a user requests online detection. The capability to make this request must be integrated in a business process that runs in the external system.

The request is passed synchronously to the SAP Fraud Management system via a connection between the external system and the SAP Fraud Management system. The request contains the investigation object, detection objects, and all of the other information required for a fraud detection run.

The detection strategy is determined by the system in SAP Fraud Management based on the data given in the input to the service interface.

The input parameters include generic tables, which you can use to transfer the data of your application tables as they are, with no need to map the content of your application tables. The generic tables are used directly in the detection method; therefore you do not have to have a mapping procedure in either the SAP Fraud Management system.

If necessary, an alert is generated in SAP Fraud Management. This alert can be investigated in the same way as any other alert to potential fraud. Simulation mode is also supported. In this case, alert information is returned to the external application. But no alert is generated in SAP Fraud Management.

Because the call is synchronous, the confirmation message is returned directly by the original Web service call.
