Setting Up Supplier Evaluation and Performance Monitoring (SL4)

2 PUBLIC Content
1 Purpose

The purpose of this document is to describe the general configuration steps required to manually set up the
integration for SAP S/4HANA with external system that has already been installed using the corresponding
installation or configuration guides for installation.

This document supplements the existing Customizing documentation in the Implementation Guide (IMG) and
provides additional information where required.

Purpose PUBLIC 3
2 Preparation

2.1 Prerequisites

Before you start installing this scenario, please check if following prerequisites are prepared.

1. External system is already set up.

In order to configure the integration, users require the following catalog roles in S/4HANA CLOUD:
SAP_BR_CONF_EXPERT_BUS_NET_INT

2. It is also mandatory that scope item Supplier Evaluation and Performance Monitor (SL4 Mandatory, 19E Optional,
1FM Optional for quality inspection lot and quality notification) is active. You can check this in the App Manage Your
Solution under View Solution Scope.

If the scope items are not active, please request the activation via BCP – Ticket Component: XX-S4C-OPR-SRV.

Configuration

3.1 Communication User

In S/4HANA Cloud the management of data integration is based on communication scenarios. The relevant
communication scenario for Operational Supplier Evaluation Score Integration is SAP_COM_0324. For the
communication scenario, a communication user is needed:

1. Log on to your SAP S/4HANA system with a user who has the business role:
SAP_BR_CONF_EXPERT_BUS_NET_INT.
2. Access the transaction using the following navigation path:

SAP Fiori Launchpad Communication Management Maintain

Communication Users

3. Choose New to create a new communication user.

4. On the Create Communication User screen, make the following entries:

Table 1:

Field Name Entry Value and user action

User Name For example：<DUMMY_USER>

Description For example：<DUMMY_USER>

Password For example：<Initial1!>

5. Choose Create.

Note
It is mandatory to assign an inbound communication user to a communication arrangement even if the
communication is purely outbound. This means you have to create a sort of dummy user. Create such a
dummy user so that you can later assign it to the communication system.

3.2 Communication Systems

Communication system is used to define the host name of the HCI tenant and to assign users for the inbound and
outbound communication.

Additionally, a second communication system with the host name of the external system is needed to enable the
navigation from SAP S/4HANA to external system. A communication user is not needed here for access the
external system.

1. Log on to your SAP S/4HANA system with a user who has the business role:
SAP_BR_CONF_EXPERT_BUS_NET_INT.
2. Access the transaction using the following navigation path:

SAP Fiori Launchpad Communication Management Maintain

Communication Users

3. Communication System For communication arrangement SAP_COM_0324 In S/4HANA Cloud the

management of data integration is based on communication scenarios. The relevant communication scenario
for Operational Supplier Evaluation Score Integration is SAP_COM_0324. For the communication scenario, a
communication system is needed:
○ Choose New to create a new communication system.
○ On the New communication system screen, make the following entries:

Table 2:

Field Name Entry Value and user action

ID For example：<External Service>

System Name For example：<External Service>

○ Choose Create.
○ On the Communication System screen, make the following entries:
Host Name: <External System Host Name> (provided from an external system account services or support
representative)
Logical System: <Logical System>
Business System: <Business System>
• In the User for Inbound Communication area, choose Add, then choose the user name created from the
previous step, choose OK.
• In the User for Outbound Communication area, choose Add and make the following entries:
Authentication Method: User Name and Password
User Name: the user name for the login on external system
Password: the password(license) for the login on external system
Choose Create.
○ Choose Save.

3.3 Communication Arrangement

The Communication arrangement in S/4HANA system defines all relevant information for the communication with
Integration. For example, it contains the communication system, inbound and outbound authentication.

1. Log on to your SAP S/4HANA system with a user who has the business role:
SAP_BR_CONF_EXPERT_BUS_NET_INT.
2. Access the transaction using the following navigation path:

SAP Fiori Launchpad Communication Management Communication

Arrangements

3. Communication Arrangement for communication arrangement SAP_COM_0324.

In S/4HANA Cloud the management of data integration is based on communication scenarios. The relevant
communication scenario for Operational Supplier Evaluation Score Integration is SAP_COM_0324. For the
communication scenario, a communication arrangement is needed:
○ Choose New.
○ On the New Communication Arrangement screen, make the following entries:

Table 3:

Field Name Entry Value and user action

Scenario Select SAP_COM_0324(Operational Supplier Evaluation

Score Integration)

Arrangement Name Arrangement name of this Communication Arrangement

Create

○ On the Communication Arrangements screen, make the following entries:

Table 4:

Field Name Entry Value and user action

Communication System select the communication system you have created in the
previous chapter (e.g. < ExternalService >)

User Name/Certificate The User Name of Inbound Communication and User

Name of Outbound Communication will be assigned auto­
matically after the Communication System is selected.

Create

○ Choose Save. The communication arrangement will become active and all required configurations will be
generated.
