High- Level Specification
| Implementing System | S/4HANA |
|---|---|
| Invoked by/Invokes | |
| Business Process Reference | 06.10.01.01. Manage 3PL Warehouse Interfaces |
This Functional Specification describes the Inbound Delivery Interface between SAP S/4HANA and CPI using SAP standard OData API API_INBOUND_DELIVERY_SRV_0002.
Scope and Objectives
The interface covers all Inbound deliveries created or updated in S/4HANA that are relevant for transmission to 3PL systems.
Process Flow Diagram
1 | Delivery created/updated in S/4HANA | |
2 | S/4 raises an internal event. | |
3 | System checks the 3PL assignment table | To determine if the interface is active and retrieve the 3PL assigned |
4 | System checks the DELIVERIES_3PL table | To determine if the delivery type, shipping point and event is relevant for transmission |
5 | Relevant event is published to SAP Event Mesh | If previous steps are successful |
6 | CPI consumes the event and retrieves full delivery using API | CPI will also get the 3PL partner from the 3PL assignment table for routing purposes |
7 | S/4 updates Monitoring Table | Using System date and time |
8 | 3PL consumes and executes warehouse processes. |

Design Rationale
APIs to be consumed:
API_INBOUND_DELIVERY_SRV_0002
Inbound deliveries will be relevant for transmission only for specific shipping points (the ones related to a 3PL), delivery types and at certain event.
This criteria may change between 3PLs so a custom table is needed to save this parameters and should be checked by Event Mesh before publishing the event for consumption. This table (DELIVERIES_3PL) is described in the FS ERP-984 3PL Warehouse Interface - Outbound Delivery Interface to Cloud Integration Suite and will be part of
API Use
API_INBOUND_DELIVERY_SRV_0002 will be consumed if the criteria described in the Processing logic section is met
The following information should be retrieved for the document (LIKP-VBELN) using the following services:
Retrieve Single Inbound Delivery Including All Inbound Delivery Items
Example
GET <host>/sap/opu/odata/sap/API_INBOUND_DELIVERY_SRV;v=2/A_InbDeliveryHeader(DeliveryDocument='180000247')?$expand=to_DeliveryDocumentItem HTTP/1.1Data Structure
Fields from the standard API will be used.
| Parent | Field | Description | Mandatory (Y/N) | Data Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Processing Logic
1) Every time a new event is raised from a Delivery document, it should be published for transmission if the following criteria is met:
- Interface is activated: Check 3PL assignment table included in
- Check the custom table DELIVERIES_3PL with LIKP-VSTEL, LIKP-LFART and the event raised. If there is an entry the event should be published for consumption and the API detailed in that entry should be used to extract the data.
- Interface is activated: Check 3PL assignment table included in
2) If previous step is successful, an entry should be logged into the monitoring table to trace the correct transmission to the 3PL. This table is detailed in
DOC_TYPE=DELIVERY
DOC_ID= LIKP-VBELN
DATE_SENT = System date
TIME_SENT = System time
If an entry exists for the DOC_TYPE, it should be updated with the current DATE_SENT and TIME_SENT.
Delta or Full Load Requirements
Please describe change tracking requirements, i.e. transferring only delta, or always full load
Interface Alert & Monitoring
Monitoring will be handled by and
Language Requirements
Document texts will be in the language of the source document.

Error Handling
Error handling should be don at AIF level, if there is an error sending the data to the 3PL, the interface should be retriggered.
Testing
How to Test
Please provide some guidance and/or test data to help the developer unit test the interface. Please include both positive and negative testing (to validate error situations handling)
The developer will need to test repeatedly, so where appropriate provide instructions to reverse the actions performed so the test may be run again, or explain how to create new input data to the test. In particular, the developer will need logons for test users representing the various roles within the approval process.
Test Conditions and Expected Results
| ID | Condition | Expected Results |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Inbound delivery creation (relevant Inb del type) | Event is published and consumed according to the custom table entries |
| 2 | Inbound delivery update | Event is published and consumed based on the custom table entries. |
| 3 | Inbound delivery deletion | Event is published and consumed. |
| 4 | Inbound delivery creation/update (not relevant in custom table) | Event is not published |
| 5 | Inbound delivery created for a non relevant shipping point | Event is not published |
Test Considerations/Dependencies
The solution must be tested in conjunction with the developments listed in the Dependencies section. End-to-end validation will include the participation of the relevant 3PL partners to ensure the completeness of the inbound delivery transmission flow across S4 HANA, middleware, and target logistics platforms.
