High- Level Specification

Functional Overview

Syniti, the source system for currency conversion master data, will be integrated with Icertis to create and update currency exchange master data records in a custom Currency Exchange Master Data table within Icertis.

This integration will be executed via SAP CPI, which will invoke the Icertis Business API to perform bulk upsert operations.

The exchange rates maintained in Icertis will be used to convert local currency values into Euros in agreements.

Records will be created or updated daily in Icertis. The objective of this FS is to create Currency Exchange Masterdata in Icertis so that the currency exchange rates can be maintained.

Scope and Objectives

Functional Scope:

This document outlines the functional configuration required in Icertis to support the creation and maintenance of currency exchange master data sourced from Syniti.

Scope Includes:

1. Creation and update of currency exchange master data in Icertis.
2. Daily update of exchange rates.

Functional Objectives:

1. Ensure Accurate Currency Conversion

   • Maintain up-to-date exchange rates for converting local values to Euros in contracts.

2. Maintain Data Integrity

   • Prevent outdated or duplicate exchange rate records.

3. Enable Auditability and Traceability

   • Ensure all exchange rate records are timestamped and sourced for compliance and audit purposes. In Icertis when the masterdatas record is created, system automatically generates the Modified Date and time stamp as displayed below

4. Minimize Manual Intervention

   • Automate the daily currency exchange masterdata update process to reduce errors and improve efficiency.

Out of Scope:

1. Deletion of any existing currency exchange masterdata record
2. De-activating any existing currency exchange masterdata record

Assumptions

• Not Applicable.

Dependencies

• Not Applicable.

Security, Integrity and Controls

• Authentication: Access to Create Masterdata Contract Type (CT)
• A new security group to be created for the Integration Users with manage access to Currency Exchange Master CT. The new security group title will be "Integration User"

Configuration Requirements

• Configure Currency Exchange Masterdata CT in Icertis with below details:

Following Technical Configuration is required to enable integration between CPI & Icertis using ICI Business API

• OAuth Setup

  • Microsoft Identity Platform
    • Register application in Microsoft Identity Platform
    • Capture the following details from IDP     

• • • Redirect URI to be configured - https://syensqo-dev.icertis.com 
    • Implicit Grant: Access Tokens

  • Icertis Side Configuration

    • Configure new masterdata CT in Icertis to store currency exchange rates 
    • Create an Integration User (CPI Integration User) in Icertis with Admin access.
    • Create Security Group "Integration User" with Manage access to Currency Exchange Rate CT.
    • Configure the following OAuth keys in Icertis json file:

Special Requirements

• Localization: Ensure currency formats comply with regional standards (e.g., decimal separators).

Design Rationale

Create a currency exchange rate masterdata CT in Icertis which will store the currency exchange rates from Syniti.

Data Structure

The following fields will be configured in Icertis to provide the required data structure of the interface:

API Fields Mapping:

Calculation and Validation

Not Applicable

Processing Logic

• • The integration job runs daily.
  • Currency Conversion rates are pushed from a system interface to Icertis via CPI.

Delta or Full Load Requirements

• • Full Load:
    • The interface always pushes the complete set of exchange rates for all supported currencies, for a given date. This does not process historical data. 
    • No delta tracking is required since the data is refreshed daily.

Interface Alert & Monitoring

• • Not Applicable as this FS objective is to create a masterdata CT in Icertis

Language Requirements

• • No multilingual support required for exchange rate data.
  • All fields are numeric or standard ISO codes.

User Interface Requirements

Not Applicable

Volumetrics

• See the appendix for the list of Currencies which needs to be converted to Euros

Performance Consideration

Scheduling and Execution Window

• The integration job should be scheduled during off-peak hours daily to avoid contention with other system processes.
• The priority of the jobs will be decided based on the other jobs mentioned in the list DD-TEC-130 R2 Batch Jobs Register and Schedule
