Creating System ID-Specific Properties for Subsidiary SAP Business One Systems in SAP Integration Framework 2.0 for Intercompany Purchasing in SAP ECC

Creating System ID-Specific Properties for Subsidiary SAP Business One Systems in SAP Integration Framework 2.0 for Intercompany Purchasing in SAP ECC

Maintain SysID-specific properties for each subsidiary in the system landscape. System ID-specific properties are available per system type. When you create a system landscape entry, this entry gets a unique system ID (SysID). You can maintain fixed values for properties for the SysID. 

SAP Integration Framework 2.0 accesses the properties at runtime and uses them for message processing, for example for setting defaults, selecting options, and so on. 

All scenario packages that use the systems as senders or receivers, can access the SysID-specific properties.

From a business point of view, the aim of using SysID-specific properties is to place the subsidiary in the company organization environment. In the large account environment, the settings represent the organizational entity of the subsidiary from the headquarters’ point of view. The settings describe the subsidiary with SAP ECC organization units. For example, the subsidiary represents the sales channel for the headquarters’ products in a foreign country. 

Prerequisites

You have set up the system landscape with all sender and receiver systems in SAP ECC and in SAP Integration Framework 2.0.

For more information about setting up your technical system landscape, refer the Setting Up the System Landscape for SAP ECC Knowledge article.
