Technical System Landscape

SAP Sales and Distribution Integration with SAP Revenue Accounting and Reporting provides functions to integrate sales and distribution documents with SAP Revenue Accounting and Reporting.

SAP Sales and Distribution Integration with SAP Revenue Accounting and Reporting is delivered as product version SAP SALES INTEGR SAP RAR 1.0 that integrates with SAP REVENUE ACCOUNTING 1.1.

This product consists of software component version REVRECSD 1.0 SP 5 and requires a minimum software version of SAP ERP 6.0 without the enhancement package. You install it on top of your sales and distribution system. Depending on whether sales and distribution and financials applications run on the same system, you have deployment options.

Deployment in Different Systems

Sales and Distribution isn't managed in the same system as financials. You install SAP SALES INTEGR SAP RAR 1.0 on top of your sales and distribution system. It can be installed from SAP ERP 6.0 or higher; if your sales and distribution system is already on SAP ERP 6.0, you don't have to upgrade.

SAP REVENUE ACCOUNTING 1.1 can be installed on SAP ERP 6.0 Enhancement Package 5 or higher. If your financials system is below that system level, you must to SAP ERP 6.0 Enhancement Package 5.

Page 6: SAP Sales and Distribution Integration with SAP Revenue ... · PDF file1 Getting Started This document is a single source of information for the implementation of SAP Sales and Distribution

Data Harmonization Requirements

For deployment on different systems, the systems need harmonized master data and configuration. SAP Revenue Accounting and Reporting doesn't have key-mapping or value-mapping functions in its portfolio. You need to harmonize these data and settings in both systems:

● Company codes, including company code currencies and currency settings● CO-PA configurations, structures, value fields, and operations, if used● Customers, business partners● Accounts and account assignments, profit centers, and business areas

Deployment in One System

In many cases, sales and distribution runs in the same system as financials and controlling. In this case, both products are installed on the same stack.

Required alternative product versions, instances, and minimal support package stacks for SAP Sales and Distribution Integration with SAP Revenue Accounting and Reporting.

3 Configuration

SAP Revenue Accounting and Reporting IMG Path

The Customizing activity for this product is available at Sales and Distribution Revenue Accounting and Reporting .

Application Integration

SAP Sales and Distribution Integration with SAP Revenue Accounting and Reporting and SAP Revenue Accounting and Reporting communicate with RFC function calls. If these instances are installed in different systems, you need to define an RFC destination with connection type 3 (connection to ABAP system). The solution tries to establish a bgRFC connection as the preferred connection type. You should create an RFC destination that supports the bgRFC protocol. To do this, run the RFC destinations transaction, choose the Special Options tab, and select Classic with bgRFC as the Transfer Protocol.

To use the integration component, activate the Customizing activity Sales and Distribution Revenue Accounting and Reporting Integrate with Revenue Accounting .

4 Migration

When you start using SAP Revenue Accounting and Reporting, you need to migrate your data for your existing open contracts into the system. This process is detailed on the SAP Help Portal. This chapter refers to migrating data from SAP Sales and Distribution.

The load transfers information about operational documents and posted revenue to SAP Revenue Accounting and Reporting. It has to select all operational contracts (and their related documents) that impact revenue recognition and pass this information to SAP Revenue Accounting and Reporting using defined Interfaces. The load also has to evaluate which revenue was posted in GL up to and including the transfer date. This information is passed with a separate interface (legacy data interface).

The load only selects items that are relevant for revenue accounting in accordance with the RAI settings that are maintained in Customizing at Sales and Distribution Revenue Accounting and Reporting Maintain Revenue Accounting Item Settings .

If the migration of all revenue accounting-relevant open contracts isn't possible in one period (for example, due to data volume), migration packages can be defined in Customizing and the migration may be limited to one migration package. After completing the migration of all contracts in one package, subsequent packages may be defined in later periods.

Network and Communication Security

Your network infrastructure is extremely important in protecting your system. Your network needs to support the communication necessary for your business needs without allowing unauthorized access. A well-defined network topology can eliminate many security threats based on software flaws (at the operating system level and application level) or network attacks, such as eavesdropping. If users can't log on to your application or database servers at the operating system or database layer, then there's no way for intruders to compromise the machines and gain access to the backend system’s database or files. Additionally, if users can't connect to the server LAN, they can't exploit well-known bugs and security holes in network services on the server machines.

The network topology for the SAP Sales and Distribution Integration with SAP Revenue Accounting and Reporting is based on the topology used by SAP NetWeaver. The security guidelines and recommendations described in the SAP NetWeaver Security Guide apply. Details that apply specifically are described in the following topics:

● Communication Channel Security● Network Security● Communication Destinations

For more information, see the following sections in the SAP NetWeaver Security Guide:

● Network and Communication Security● Security Guides for Connectivity and Interoperability Technologies
