Direct creation of quotes and sales orders in ERP

Until now, you had to always create a sales order request Existing New
or a quote request before creating an order or a quote in
ERP

It is now also possible to directly create:


A sales order from an opportunity
A quote from an opportunity
A sales order from a quote
By default, an order request or a quote request is created

To use this feature, you need to do the following:


PI: Adjust PI mapping to decide the document that
needs to be created in ERP
PI: Adjust routing conditions in PI
HCI: Deploy iFlows

Opportunities for SAP Process Integration/SAP Data Services


Leverage invests into existing SAP Process Integration or SAP Data Services landscape
Systems that need to be integrated are mainly on-premise
Few or no need for integration of cloud applications

Opportunities for SAP HANA Cloud integration


Focus on cloud strategy
Have the need for cloud-to-cloud integration
Have the leading system(s) within the cloud
Do not have SAP Process Integration or SAP Data Services on-premise
Do not want to invest into an on-premise middleware and bear the costs associated with it, such as system setup, maintenance
and operations, build up know how, etc.
Prefer subscription-fee-based license model
Require fast innovation

3 keys to successful integration projects

1. Understand that integration requires some configuration


Example: Prepackaged integration content still needs on-premise networking for security
in cloud to on-premise messaging
Example: Prepackaged integration content requires some on-premise configuration to
ensure messages are triggered to the cloud

2. Determine early on in the project the amount of custom fields


Example: Custom fields may require adaptations/extensions on-premise, middleware, and
cloud

3. Ensure the project team includes functional and integration resources


Cloud application is another end point in your overall integration landscape. Be sure to
include these integration experts in your cloud project.

7 key points to take home
1. SAPs philosophy is that SAP Cloud applications must deliver business process integration with on-
premise applications in order to offer maximum business value to our customers!
2. A flexible integration platform combined with a comprehensive extensibility approach enables you to
deliver end-to-end process support between SAP Cloud for Customer and the rest of your customer
engagement solution landscape
3. SAP Cloud for Customer provides standard integration for master and transaction data in the form of a
wealth of prepackaged integration flows (iFlows) for SAP ERP and CRM
4. SAP delivers more continuous investment in standard integration between Cloud for Customer and SAP
CRM and ERP than any other cloud CRM vendor
5. SAP HANA Cloud Integration is SAPs new Cloud middleware that enables business process and data
integration, and is the preferred integration platform for customers
6. SAPs Cloud Integration content can be used with either SAP HANA Cloud Integration (SAP HCI) or with
your existing SAP PI (or SAP Process Orchestration)
7. SAPs integration and extensibility capabilities offer the best combination of flexibility and short time-to-
value at a low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
