Event-driven Process (Price Condition Management)

This article describes how SAP Integration Suite can enable synchronization between Pricefx Price Lists and SAP S/4HANA Price Conditions using event-driven approach.

Introduction

When a Price List is approved, each item becomes one or more Price Conditions in SAP S/4HANA. The Price Condition records to be exported to SAP S/4HANA are stored in an Acknowledgement Product Extension table in Pricefx and after the synchronization is completed, the results are written back to this table.

Price Parameters Storing Price Conditions Configuration in Pricefx

When generating Price Conditions from Price List items, extra fields required by SAP S/4HANA have to be provided. These configurations are stored in Price Parameters in Pricefx. You can modify these values according to your needs.

Supported types are: Price List, Matrix Price List, Live Price Grid, Matrix Live Price Grid.

Listen to Pricefx Rabbit MQ Events

The integration flow listens to Price List approval events ('ITEM_APPROVED_PL'). Please raise a support ticket to obtain the RabbitMQ connection properties and enable the required Pricefx events.

The event type, event type code and event object typed ID are extracted by ‘Message Mapping Extract Price List Information’.

Below parameters have to be configured:

1. RabbitMQ Adapter – Pricefx RabbitMQ connection properties and the name of the event queue.

Below parameters can be configured but default values are provided:

1. Main receiver – The integration flow which processes the events.

2. Transaction handling

Aggregate Pricelist Events from Pricefx

The integration flow aggregates Price List approval events from Pricefx. The aggregated events are forwarded to the next integration flow to get the execute formula to create Price Condition records in Pricefx. Any events which cannot be processed successfully will be written to the log by email.

Below parameters can be configured but default values are provided:

1. Sender – The process direct incoming path of this integration flow.

2. Main receiver – The integration flow which processes the aggregated events.

3. Headers of receiving process

4. Error receiver – The error handling integration flow.

5. Transaction handling

6. Message Log Identifier properties

7. Aggregator properties – Defines how the product events should be aggregated.

Build SAP S4HANA Sales Price Condition Batch Create Request from Pricefx SAP ACK Product Extension

This integration flow converts Pricefx price condition product extension response to SAP S/4HANA Sales Price Condition request.

Below parameters can be configured but default values are provided:

1. Sender – The process direct incoming path of this integration flow.

2. Error receiver – The error handling integration flow.

3. Mapping to build SAP S/4HANA Sales Price Condition request.

4. Transaction handling

Write Records to Product Extension Tables in Pricefx

The integration flow transforms the response from SAP S/4HANA and writes the records to acknowledgement product extension table in Pricefx.

For explanation and configuration of this integration flow, see Product Master Management | Write Records to Product Extension Tables in Pricefx

Error Handling

Default error handling is handled by JMS retry. See https://pricefx.atlassian.net/wiki/x/AYAwaAE

Logging

All the logs are forwarded to Send Log to email by default. You can configure your own log handling process by configuring the parameters of log receivers and error receivers in the integration flows.
