2.1 Introduction to SAP Solutions for Auto-ID and Item Serialization

2 SAP Solutions for Auto-ID and Item

Serialization Upgrade Overview

2.1 Introduction to SAP Solutions for Auto-ID and Item

Serialization
SAP solutions for auto-ID and item serialization enable you to use of radio frequency identification
(RFID) and other means of automatic identification such as barcodes to provide accurate, real-time
information about items as they move through your supply chain and to automate your business
processes. SAP solutions for auto-ID and item serialization consist of the following offerings:
¸ÄÑ)p SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure
SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure is a flexible and customizable infrastructure that integrates RFID
technology with existing SAP logistics systems. It provides:
¸ÄÑ)˜ Standard content that enables you to automate and enable RFID for basic logistics processes
¸ÄÑ)˜ Extensible capabilities that allow you to easily adapt the standard content to implement your
own customer-specific processes
¸ÄÑ)p SAP Auto-ID Enterprise
You can install multiple local instances of the component SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure and
implement an SAP object event repository to collect data centrally from across your enterprise
and from your business partners. You can use the repository to query, manage, and monitor your
processes centrally.
CAUTION

To implement an SAP object event repository, you must install SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure
and SAP Event Management on the same box. Furthermore, make sure that you have installed
your ERP system on a separate box.
SAP Object Event Repository
You can use SAP object event repository (the repository) to capture, store, and query data about
uniquely identified objects centrally in a disparate system landscape. You can automatically capture
information about object-level events that occur across your supply chain, from both within your
enterprise and from your business partners. You can access the data in the repository and your
business partner can use XML messages to query it. By enabling disparate applications to exchange
information about uniquely identified objects, the repository provides visibility and traceability of
the objects throughout their respective lifecycles. Furthermore, you can use the repository to
monitor business documents related to the objects.

2 SAP Solutions for Auto-ID and Item Serialization Upgrade Overview
2.1 Introduction to SAP Solutions for Auto-ID and Item Serialization

KBlL-L SAP Event Management

SAP Event Management allows you to track and query events across your supply chain. It thereby
provides or improves visibility within your logistics processes, both in planning and in execution.
The flexibility of the application allows you to map, control, and check all required business
processes. SAP Event Management is an optional component in SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure
processes. If you install SAP object event repository, it is also possible to use the standalone
functionality of SAP Event Management.
NOTE

For SAP Event Management, the installation of SAP Event Management Communication
Layer (SAP EM-WCL) based on SAP NetWeaver Application Server Java is optional. As of SAP
enhancement package 1 for SAP Event Management SAP EM-WCL is not required. For more
information about SAP EM-WCL, see the Master Guide for SAP Event Management 7.0.

business processes:
KBlL-L RFID-Enabled Processes with Back-end Integration
KBlL-# RFID-Enabled Outbound Processing Without WM
KBlL-# RFID-Enabled Inbound Processing and Receipt Confirmation
KBlL-# Secure Tracking and Tracing
KBlL-# IUID-Enabled Inbound/Outbound Processing
KBlL-# RFID-Enabled Kanban Processing
KBlL-L RFID-Enabled Processes Without Back-end Integration
KBlL-# RFID-Enabled Returnable Transport Items (RTI)
KBlL-# Standalone RFID-Enabled Outbound Processing
KBlL-# Standalone RFID-Enabled Inbound Processing
KBlL-# Standalone IUID Processing

CAUTION

The technical landscapes described here show one of several ways to distribute the components
among hosts. Distribution of components depends on many factors, such as performance, sizing,
available hardware and so on. In practice, other distributions are possible.

NOTE

Only a subset of these components is required for the installation of a specific business process.
For a process-specific overview of components, see Business Processes of SAP Solutions for Auto-ID and
Item Serialization [page 41].

2.5.1 Application Components

2.5.1.1 SAP Solutions for Auto-ID and Item Serialization
SAP solutions for auto-ID and item serialization enable you to use of radio frequency identification
(RFID) and other means of automatic identification such as barcodes to provide accurate, real-time
information about items as they move through your supply chain and to automate your business
processes.

2.5.1.2 SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure

This component, optionally together with adapters for SAP backend systems or SAP Event
Management, supports the integration of RFID interrogators and other hardware for automatic
identification, with backend systems. It could be described as middleware for RFID and automatic
identification integration. In contrast to the adapters this component is implemented as an independent
system. It is connected to the device controllers of the readers. SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure receives
business-related information – indirectly through Process Integration (PI) - from SAP ERP and translates
it into technical information for the readers, handles the actions to be executed, receives messages about
read tags, decides on the reaction to read information or missing reads, persist the observation of tags
and tags related data, and delivers filtered information back to the backend system. Instead of connecting
SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure directly with different backend systems, it is integrated using PI systems.
This makes it possible to use an open XML message interface on the SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure side
and to easily connect backend systems.

2.5.1.4 OLTP System

The OnLine Transaction Processing (OLTP) system , for example, SAP R/3 system, SAP R/3
Enterprise, or SAP ECC, that is used in the SAP solutions for auto-ID and item serialization environment
as backend system. Data is exchanged between an SAP solutions for auto-ID and item serialization
environment and a connected OLTP system.

2.5.1.5 SAP Event Management (Optional)

SAP Event Management enables you to process application objects in various application systems and
thereby to track events for individual objects, processes, or parts of these throughout the entire supply
chain
The Web Dynpro ABAP-based Web interface and the Java-based Web interface (classic) offer information
access and full supply chain visibility for SAP Event Management. For example, you can access all your
supply chain information over the internet.
SAP Event Management can link, update, and evaluate the event messages with the application data
from the supply chain network.
It allows you to:
ñ·�I!c Monitor, measure and evaluate business processes
ñ·�I! SAP Event Management automatically monitors events that occur and those that have not
been reported, for example, goods issue, purchase order transfer, production end, or
unreported proof of delivery.

2.5.2 Technology Components

2.5.2.1 SAP Basis and SAP NetWeaver Application Server
SAP NetWeaver Application Server (SAP NetWeaver AS) provides the technological foundation for all
other SAP.com components. In a sense, SAP NetWeaver AS is the "operating system" of SAP.com. SAP
Basis became known as SAP NetWeaver AS from SAP R/3 4.6D on.
In the past, SAP Basis was used and shipped exclusively as an integral part of SAP R/3. This was also
reflected by the fact that SAP Basis and SAP R/3 had identical release names and shared support packages.
With the introduction of SAP.com, we now offer multiple components that build on SAP NetWeaver
AS. As a result, there is no longer a close naming relationship between SAP NetWeaver AS and SAP R/
3.
An SAP System consists of a database server, optional additional application servers, and a number of
front-end computers.
The database server is the computer on which the database is installed. This server can also
accommodate the central instance (the SAP instance that includes the message server and enqueue
server processes). If the central instance is installed on a separate application server, the database server
is called a standalone database server. Additional dialog instances (SAP instances including only dialog,
batch, spool, or update processes) are installed on application servers.
SAP NetWeaver AS provides a platform for quickly developing and deploying dynamic and collaborative
Web applications or other thin-client applications (WAP, PDA, and so on) and includes all proven SAP
programming models and technologies. With SAP NetWeaver AS, SAP natively supports open Internet
standards, including such protocols as HTTP, HTTPS, and SMTP, as well as Internet document
standards like HTML and XML.
Open integration capabilities provide access to existing SAP and non-SAP applications. All integration
facilities supported by SAP are available with SAP NetWeaver AS. The Java Connector or the DCOM
Connector give ABAP applications access to Java or .NET components and the other way round. In
addition, the Internet Communication Framework (ICF) of SAP NetWeaver AS enables programs
written in ABAP to process and distribute HTTP requests directly.
As a consequence, SAP NetWeaver AS can serve both as an HTTP server and client. It serves as an HTTP
server for bringing applications to the user via a Web browser either directly or via a standard Web
server. It serves as an HTTP client to access other Web applications for collecting information and data.

2012-04-02 PUBLIC 21/80

2 SAP Solutions for Auto-ID and Item Serialization Upgrade Overview
2.5 Software Units of SAP Solutions for Auto-ID and Item Serialization

To complete Web connectivity, SAP NetWeaver AS provides full support for sending and receiving e-
mails via SMTP.

2.5.2.2 SAP NetWeaver Process Integration

Based on a native Web infrastructure that leverages open standards, SAP NetWeaver Process Integration
makes it possible to manage the broad diversity of highly heterogeneous components from a multitude
of vendors and to run in various technology environments. The integration capabilities capture shared
business semantics and act as a mediator between the services and their technical implementations. It
includes technical functions, such as Web service discovery, queuing, mapping, and routing. It also
establishes an infrastructure for business process management and high-performance execution within
and across organizational boundaries.
Exchange-based process integration removes the problems of direct connections by extracting shared
collaboration knowledge. These shared business semantics ease the integration of both external and
internal components. Instead of directly coding point-to-point interfaces for each new component,
the exchange infrastructure allows you to instantly plug in of new components once for each
component. This provides the flexibility you needed in today’s fast-changing business world, and it
reduces integration costs compared to the direct connection approach.

2.5.2.3 SAP Basis Plug-In

The SAP Basis Plug-In is an interface that enables the exchange of data between one or several SAP R/
3 systems and other SAP application components. The SAP Basis Plug-In supplies SAP application
components with transaction data and master data in real time. It also makes it possible to use SAP
application components like SAP Supply Chain Management (SAP SCM) or SAP Customer
Relationship Management (SAP CRM) together with certain SAP industry-specific application
components. All SAP industry-specific application components based on SAP R/3 4.6B and higher SAP
R/3 releases require an SAP Basis Plug-In.
SAP Basis Plug-Ins are shipped with SAP application components (SAP SCM, SAP NetWeaver Business
Intelligence, SAP Enterprise Buyer, SAP CRM, and SAP Strategic Enterprise Management) and with
industry-specific SAP application components based on SAP R/3 4.6B and higher SAP R/3 releases. You
can order the most recent SAP Basis Plug-In releases or download them from the SAP Service
Marketplace free of charge. Depending on the combination of the SAP R/3 Plug-In release and version
and the SAP R/3 release, certain SAP R/3 Support Package levels are required to install the SAP R/3 Plug-
In. For more information and to download, see SAP Service Marketplace at http://
service.sap.com/r3-plug-in.

NOTE

We highly recommend that you implement mobile integration with SAP consultants or

2.6 Enhancement Packages

2.6.1 Enhancement Package Key Concept
We have adapted our major release strategy to better fit your adoption cycle. To ensure that you benefit
from new developments and innovations while minimizing the impact on your core operational
systems, SAP uses enhancement packages to speed up the delivery of new functions.
With SAP enhancement packages, you can install and activate new functions depending on your
business needs without having to perform a system upgrade.

Implementation

There are three different scenarios to implement an enhancement package:

¤Ø˝ãCÞ Installation of an enhancement package on an existing SAP system
¤Ø˝ãCÞ New installation of an SAP system including an enhancement package
¤Ø˝ãCÞ Upgrade of an SAP system including an enhancement package
The installation process of enhancement packages consists of two different steps:
¤Ø˝ãCÞ Technical installation of an enhancement package
¤Ø˝ãCÞ Activation of new functions using the switch framework technology
From a business point of view, functional enhancements are grouped into business functions (BFs).
The technical installation of the business functions does not change the system behavior. The new
functions are available in the system, but are not active. After the installation, no user interface or

2012-04-02 PUBLIC 23/80

2 SAP Solutions for Auto-ID and Item Serialization Upgrade Overview
2.6 Enhancement Packages

process change takes place. You must explicitly activate new functions so that they become visible in
the system. As a result, changes are predictable and there are no side effects as only the activated areas
change.
With the switch framework technology (transaction SFW5), it is possible to control the activation of
new SAP objects in ABAP-based SAP systems. The activation process triggers a background job that
automatically performs all changes in the SAP system.

CAUTION

You cannot reverse most business function once they are activated. Due to technical restrictions,
only a limited number of business functions are reversible.

After you have activated a business function, you can see the changes and new developments in the
SAP system, for example:
Q© ˜â§ Menu entries
Q© ˜â§ New screens
Q© ˜â§ New fields on the application user interfaces
Q© ˜â§ IMG activities required for the implementation
Q© ˜â§ New table entries in Customizing tables and system tables
You can create a transport request with the current settings of the switch framework. You can check
functional changes and the impact of an activated business function in advance in the business function
documentation.

RECOMMENDATION

Test the installation and activation on a sandbox system.

Maintenance

SAP enhancement packages have Support Packages of their own that are equivalent to the Support
Package versions of the underlying SAP system. We highly recommend installing the enhancement
package in combination with the latest available Support Package stack. This approach reduces
installation, modification adjustment, and testing effort. Using this strategy, you can install SAP
enhancement packages as a normal maintenance activity together with Support Package stacks.
An enhancement package requires a specific Support Package stack level in the source release SAP
system. If the SAP system is on a lower Support Package stack level, all relevant Support Package stacks
are automatically included into the download queue, as well as the latest available Support Packages
for the enhancement package.

Tools

The enhancement package installation requires the following tools:

Q© ˜â§ SAP Solution Manager Maintenance Optimizer
Q© ˜â§ Installation or upgrade tools (depending on your scenario)

24/80 PUBLIC 2012-04-02

2 SAP Solutions for Auto-ID and Item Serialization Upgrade Overview
2.6 Enhancement Packages

The SAP Solution Manager Maintenance Optimizer (transaction DSWP) supports the download of a
consistent queue that includes all necessary support packages and enhancement packages. In addition,
SAP Solution Manager calculates a valid import queue for the selected SAP system and generates the
enhancement package stack configuration file that you require for the installation.
For the new installation of an SAP system including enhancement package you use the standard
installation tool (SAPinst)
To install an enhancement package on an existing SAP system, as well as for the upgrade of an SAP
System to a higher release including an enhancement package, you use the Software Update Manager
(SUM)

2.6.2 Key Facts About Enhancement Packages

The following list summarizes important facts about the enhancement package concept and
recommended approaches:
Ù ñÓ•Î SAP enhancement packages are cumulative, meaning that each new enhancement package
includes new innovations of its own as well as all innovations delivered with prior packages.
Ù ñÓ•Î We recommend installing the latest available enhancement package version.
Ù ñÓ•Î Install enhancement packages and Support Packages in one single step (this includes the
preconditioned Support Packages).
Ù ñÓ•Î SAP enhancement packages have Support Packages of their own that are equivalent to the Support
Package versions of the underlying SAP system.
Ù ñÓ•Î SAP enhancement packages have the same maintenance period as the underlying core application.
Ù ñÓ•Î The installation of an enhancement package is irreversible.
Ù ñÓ•Î As long as you do not activate a business function, the installation of an enhancement package has
no impact on existing business processes or user interfaces.
You can only activate business functions in ABAP-based systems, not in Java-based SAP systems.
Ù ñÓ•Î The activation of most business functions and extension sets is irreversible. Only a small number
of business functions is reversible.
Test the installation process and activation of new functions in advance on a sandbox system.
Ensure that you evaluate the runtime and the SAP system behavior, its dependencies and impacts.
Make sure that your SAP system is free of errors before going live.

NOTE

When SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure is deployed as an add-on for SAP ERP, and you want to use
Global Returnable Asset Identifiers (GRAIs), you have to create your own application to maintain
the relationship of the GRAI to the material number. You also have to implement Business Add-
In (BAdI) /AIN/DM_PRODUCT BAdI: Product Master-Specific Data Retrieval in Customizing for SAP Auto-
ID Infrastructure. For more information, see Customizing for SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure under
Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) BAdI: Product Master Specific Enhancements .

2.8 System Landscape

CAUTION

We strongly recommend that you use a minimal system landscape for test and demo purposes
only. For performance, scalability, high availability, and security reasons, do not use a minimal
system landscape as your production landscape.
CAUTION

The technical landscapes described here show one of several ways to distribute the components
among hosts. Distribution of components depends on many factors, such as performance, sizing,
available hardware, and so on. In practice, other distributions are possible.

2012-04-02 PUBLIC 29/80

2 SAP Solutions for Auto-ID and Item Serialization Upgrade Overview
2.8 System Landscape

Since SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure can either be used as an add-on based on SAP ERP or together with
SAP NetWeaver in a separate box from SAP ERP, the following sections provide an overview of a possible
system landscape for all implementations of SAP solutions for auto-ID and item serialization. We do
not recommend installing all components on one host. Instead, you can distribute the components
among several hosts, as shown in the diagram below. The diagram provides just one example; there
are several ways to distribute the components. The distribution depends on many factors, such as sizing,
security, available hardware, and so on. In practice, any distribution of components among hosts is
possible.

Supported SAP NetWeaver Process Integration Releases

All business processes described here support SAP NetWeaver Process Integration 7.0 up to SAP
enhancement package 2 and SAP NetWeaver Process Integration 7.1 up to SAP enhancement package
1. In the single business process descriptions, for example, in the implementation sequence, only SAP
enhancement package 2 for SAP NetWeaver Process Integration 7.0 is mentioned.
SAP NetWeaver Process Integration is only needed if you install SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure on a
separate box or together with SAP object event repository. For more information, see the description
of the respective business process.

General considerations

If you install SAP object event repository in your system landscape, you also have to install SAP
NetWeaver Process Integration.

CAUTION

If you install SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure as an add-on for SAP ERP, you also receive SAP Event
Management. In this case, its usage as an SAP object event repository is not supported by SAP.

CAUTION

If you install SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure on a separate box, you have the option of installing SAP
Event Management for local visibility or to use it as an SAP object event repository. In the latter
case, you install a separate SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure including SAP Event Management as a
separate instance in the same box. Furthermore, make sure that you have installed your ERP
system on a separate box. You must also install SAP NetWeaver Process Integration.

NOTE

For more information about possible deployment options, see the Upgrade Master Guide for SAP
Event Management.

Additional Information Regarding Enterprise Services

You can use enterprise services in SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure to enable automated logistics processes
for services by using labels that IDs can automatically identify. The enterprise services are grouped by
business objects, which manage the lifecycle of the label. The enterprise services are also grouped by
the RFID device that is used to read the label, and observations recorded by the RFID device. The
enterprise services are shipped with SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure. There are two technical scenarios for
enterprise services:
zM•˚ñ Using asynchronous enterprise services (SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure services):
To run asynchronous enterprise services, you must install SAP NetWeaver Process Integration (PI).
Note that SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure services run with an SAP ERP system for message exchange.
zM•˚ñ Using synchronous enterprise services:
There are two ways to run synchronous enterprise services, either by accessing the back-end system
via WSDL/SOAP runtime directly or access the back-end system via SAP NetWeaver PI runtime
(synchronous mediated). The latter requires an SAP NetWeaver PI integration server.
At the moment, SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure only uses synchronous enterprise services.

3.1 RFID-Enabled Outbound Processing Without WM

Description

You can use this business process to automate outbound processing without the need for a warehouse
management (WM) system. You can either use it as a standalone outbound delivery process, or combine
it with the RFID-Enabled Inbound Processing and Receipt Confirmation process to create an integrated
delivery process between two business partners. This process allows you to:
~So!õ8 Create outbound deliveries in SAP ERP
~So!õ8 Commission RFID tags in SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure
~So!õ8 Pack and load in SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure
~So!õ8 Post goods issue in SAP ERP
~So!õ8 Send ASNs together with EPCs
This process has the following implementation variants:
~So!õ8 RFID-Enabled Flexible Delivery Processing
In this implementation variant, SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure and SAP ERP communicate via SAP
NetWeaver Process Integration. SAP ERP is updated at loading.
~So!õ8 IUID-Enabled Inbound/Outbound Processing
In this implementation variant, SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure allows you to process deliveries using
standard SAP ERP interfaces. SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure supports the process for multilevel
hierarchies. The process supports the use of UIIs (Unique Item Identifiers) to identify material
items.

3 Business Processes of SAP Solutions for Auto-ID and Item Serialization
3.1 RFID-Enabled Outbound Processing Without WM

3.1.1 Implementation Variant: RFID-Enabled Flexible Delivery

Processing
Description

This section contains information about the technical infrastructure of the RFID-Enabled Flexible
Delivery Processing implementation variant, including the components and the communication
between the components.

Prerequisite

If SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure and SAP ERP are installed on separate boxes, you can activate the business
function ERP_AIE_INTEGRATIONAIE ERP Integration in SAP ERP. Then you can activate the Business Add-
In (BAdI) implementation ABI_BADI_V56K_AIIFLX to get the correct due date of the delivery document.
If SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure is deployed on SAP ERP, you must activate the business function
ERP_AIE_INTEGRATION AIE ERP Integration in SAP ERP. Then you must activate BAdI implementation
ABI_BADI_V56K_AII71 or ABI_BADI_V56K_AIIECN, to ensure that the outbound process works.

Technical System Landscape

Software Components
If you install SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure as an add-on for SAP ERP, you use SAP ECC 6.0 including SAP
enhancement package 5 as a backend system.
If you install SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure as an add-on for SAP ERP, you have the option of installing
SAP NetWeaver Process Integration.
If you install SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure on a separate box, you also must install SAP NetWeaver Process
Integration.
General Considerations
For simplicity, the graphic for the technical infrastructure contains icons for whole SAP systems, not
for single hosts. Remember that each SAP system may consist of several hosts with different tasks. Use
the internal features of the SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP+Java to provide high availability
and load balancing between the SAP systems.

NOTE

For more information about possible system landscapes, see System Landscape [page 29].

Deployment Considerations
The content of the advanced shipping notification (ASN) differs depending on the deployment option.
If the partners of this implementation variant, for example, a supplier and a customer, use different
deployment options, adjustments may be necessary.
The ASN IDoc (enriched DELVRYXX) is generated in SAP NetWeaver Process Integration as a result of
the outbound integration process:

42/80 PUBLIC 2012-04-02

3 Business Processes of SAP Solutions for Auto-ID and Item Serialization
3.1 RFID-Enabled Outbound Processing Without WM

1’ºà3¢ When SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure is deployed on SAP ERP, the ASN IDoc can contain hierarchical
information, which can be transferred from supplier to customer.
1’ºà3¢ When SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure is not deployed on SAP ERP, the ASN IDoc can contain
hierarchical information. For this a handling unit is required for all levels or all but the lowest level
of the hierarchy. If you use the DespatchDeliveryNotification message, this limitation does not
apply.
For example, the partners work in a mixed deployment scenario where they have deployed SAP
Auto-ID Infrastructure separately from SAP ERP on the supplier side and directly on SAP ERP on
the customer side. They must have a handling unit at all levels or all but the lowest level of the
hierarchy to transfer the hierarchy from supplier to customer.
When SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure is not deployed as an add-on for SAP ERP (thus, it is deployed as an
add-on for SAP NetWeaver in a box separate from SAP ERP), the following applies: Handling units
(HUs) that were prepacked in SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure can only be manually assigned to an
outbound delivery in SAP ERP. This should be done before you load the HUs in SAP Auto-ID
Infrastructure to generate an advanced shipping notification (ASN) with the HUs.
XI Considerations
XI content is a special application content that must be installed on the XI host where each shared
application needs its own content.

NOTE

For each ABAP Support Package for SAP systems, there is a corresponding XI Content Binary
Patch Package that you must apply each time you upgrade your Support Package. This also applies
for SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure and the corresponding XI Content for SAP Auto-ID
Infrastructure 7.1. There is a one-to-one relationship between each Support Package.

Identity Management Considerations

For an overview of the planning and installation information necessary for implementing SAP
NetWeaver Identity Management, see the Installation Overview available on the SAP Help Portal at
http://help.sap.com/nw71 SAP NetWeaver Identity Management 7.1 .

3.1 RFID-Enabled Outbound Processing Without WM

3.1.2 Implementation Variant: IUID-Enabled Inbound/

Outbound Processing
Description

This section contains information about the technical infrastructure of the IUID-Enabled Inbound/
Outbound Processing implementation variant, including the components and the communication
between the components.

Prerequisite

If SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure and SAP ERP are installed on separate boxes, you can activate the business
function ERP_AIE_INTEGRATION AIE ERP Integration in SAP ERP. Then you can activate the Business Add-
In (BAdI) implementation ABI_BADI_V56K_AIIFLX to get the correct due date of the delivery document.
If SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure is deployed on SAP ERP, you must activate the business function
ERP_AIE_INTEGRATION AIE ERP Integration in SAP ERP. Then you must activate BAdI implementation
ABI_BADI_V56K_AII71 or ABI_BADI_V56K_AIIECN, to ensure that the outbound process works.

Technical System Landscape

Software Components
If you install SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure as an add-on for SAP ERP, you use SAP ECC 6.0 including SAP
enhancement package 5 or higher as a backend system.
If you install SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure as an add-on for SAP ERP, you have the option of installing
SAP NetWeaver Process Integration.
If you install SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure on a separate box, you also must install SAP NetWeaver Process
Integration.
General Considerations
For simplicity, the graphic for the technical infrastructure contains icons for whole SAP systems, not
for single hosts. Remember that each SAP system may consist of several hosts with different tasks. Use
the internal features of the SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP+Java to provide high availability
and load balancing between the SAP systems.

NOTE

For more information about possible system landscapes, see System Landscape [page 29].

Deployment Considerations
The content of the advanced shipping notification (ASN) differs depending on the deployment option.
If the partners of this implementation variant, for example, a supplier and a customer, use different
deployment options, adjustments maybe necessary.
The ASN IDoc (enriched DELVRYXX) is generated in SAP NetWeaver Process Integration as a result of
the outbound integration process:

46/80 PUBLIC 2012-04-02

3 Business Processes of SAP Solutions for Auto-ID and Item Serialization
3.1 RFID-Enabled Outbound Processing Without WM

Q6#¹Èô When SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure is deployed on SAP ERP, the ASN IDoc can contain hierarchical
information, which can be transferred from supplier to customer.
Q6#¹Èô When SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure is not deployed on SAP ERP, the ASN IDoc can contain
hierarchical information. For this a handling unit is required for all levels or all but the lowest level
of the hierarchy. If you use the DespatchDeliveryNotification message, this limitation does not
apply.
For example, the partners work in a mixed deployment scenario where they have deployed SAP
Auto-ID Infrastructure separately from SAP ERP on the supplier side and directly on SAP ERP on
the customer side. They must have a handling unit at all levels or all but the lowest level of the
hierarchy to transfer the hierarchy from supplier to customer.
When SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure is not deployed as an add-on for SAP ERP (thus, it is deployed as an
add-on for SAP NetWeaver in a box separate from SAP ERP), the following applies: Handling units
(HUs) that were prepacked in SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure can only be manually assigned to an
outbound delivery in SAP ERP. This should be done before you load the HUs in SAP Auto-ID
Infrastructure to generate an advanced shipping notification (ASN) with the HUs.
XI Considerations
XI content is a special application content that must be installed on the XI host where each shared
application needs its own content.

NOTE

For each ABAP Support Package for SAP systems there is a corresponding XI Content Binary Patch
Package that must be applied every time you upgrade your Support Package. This also applies for
SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure and the corresponding XI Content for SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure
7.1. The relationship is one to one with every Support Package.

Identity Management Considerations

For an overview of the planning and installation information necessary for implementing SAP
NetWeaver Identity Management, see the Installation Overview available on the SAP Help Portal at
http://help.sap.com/nw71 SAP NetWeaver Identity Management 7.1 .
Business Function in Backend System
SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0 with business function ERP_UID_02 is a prerequisite to use
this implementation variant.

3.3 Secure Tracking and Tracing

Description

You can use this business scenario to track product flow and trace business events across your enterprise
and your extended supply chain network, and thereby to ensure the safe production and secure
distribution of your product by creating visibility and traceability. To enable this, Secure Tracking and
Tracing uses SAP object event repository. It comprises the following business processes:
ÛΤÃâð Product Tracking and Authentication
ÛΤÃâ� Product Tracking by Delivery
ÛΤÃâ� Product Tracking by EPC
ÛΤÃâ� Product Authentication (EPCIS data capture and query capability)
ÛΤÃâ� Cold Chain Monitoring
ÛΤÃâ� electronic Pedegree (ePedegree) with interfaces in XI content
ÛΤÃâð RFID-Enabled Outbound Processing Without WM
ÛΤÃâð RFID-Enabled Inbound Processing and Receipt Confirmation
SAP NetWeaver Process Integration is used to integrate inbound and outbound processing.
SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure cannot send quantity events in an EPCIS Event Capture Notification
Message. A consequence of this is that SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure cannot send information about
untagged objects to SAP object event repository. Compared with this SAP object event repository can
handle quantity events.

CAUTION

If you have already installed SAP Auto-ID Enterprise and are using SAP object event repository,
do not activate the business function OER, Performance-Optimized PTA and Cold Chain

(AIE_OER_PTACOLDCHAIN) because the data is incompatible. If you activate this business function,
you can no longer use existing data in SAP object event repository in your business processes.

Prerequisite

r•äóAj To use SAP object event repository, you have installed SAP Auto-ID Enterprise.
r•äóAj You have activated the business function ERP_AIE_INTEGRATION AIE ERP Integration and the business
function LOG_LE_INTEGRATION LE, Extended Warehouse Management Integration in SAP ERP.

Technical System Landscape

Software Components
If you install SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure as an add-on for SAP ERP, you use SAP ECC 6.0 as a backend
system.
If you install SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure as an add-on for SAP ERP, you also must install SAP NetWeaver
Process Integration.
If you install SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure on a separate box, you also must install SAP NetWeaver Process
Integration and SAP Event Management.
General Considerations
For simplicity, the graphic for the technical infrastructure contains icons for whole SAP systems, not
for single hosts. Remember that each SAP system may consist of several hosts with different tasks. Use
the internal features of the SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP+Java to provide high availability
and load balancing between the SAP systems.
If you use the process variant for cold chain monitoring for the Product Tracking and
Authentification process, make sure that your data base capacity meets the expected data volume. The
data volume may increase because of the possible attachments to event messages.
SAP Object Event Repository Considerations
To implement an SAP object event repository, you must install SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure and SAP
Event Management on the same box. Furthermore, make sure that you have installed your ERP system
on a separate box.
If you install SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure on a separate box, you have the option of installing SAP Event
Management for local visibility or to use it as an SAP object event repository. In the latter case, you
install a separate SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure including SAP Event Management as a separate instance
in the same box. Furthermore, make sure that you have installed your ERP system on a separate box.
You must also install SAP NetWeaver Process Integration.

3.6 Standalone RFID-Enabled Inbound Processing

Description

The standalone deployment option of SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure enables customers to perform basic
inbound processing while providing the platform to migrate to a solution that is integrated with a
backend and expert system and scale the solution in a later roll-out following, for instance, a pilot.
Inbound processing with the standalone SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure provides users with the ability to
perform inbound delivery processing and unloading.
For information about the technical system landscape, and the software units required for this process
and the implementation sequence, see Standalone RFID-Enabled Outbound Processing [page 58].

3.7 Standalone IUID Processing

Description

If you use item unique identification (IUID) to manage items marked with a unique item identifier
(UII), you can use this business process to execute standalone delivery processing for these items. IUID
is a system of identification developed by the US Department of Defense (DoD) that allows you to track
identical assets. If you use SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure in standalone mode for delivery processing, you
can perform the following process steps for objects marked with UIIs:
üª\nF Tag commissioning
üª\nF Internal movement
üª\nF Packing
üª\nF Loading
üª\nF Unloading

3.8 RFID-Enabled Kanban Processing

This business process describes standalone outbound delivery processing, including tag commissioning
and packing.
For information about the technical system landscape, the software units required for this process and
the implementation sequence, see Standalone RFID-Enabled Outbound Processing [page 58].

3.8 RFID-Enabled Kanban Processing

Description

You use this business process to integrate the kanban replenishment procedure in SAP ERP with radio
frequency identification (RFID) technology. By using RFID tags and devices to monitor the movements
and establish the status of kanban containers, RFID-enabled kanban automates and enhances the
visibility of your kanban replenishment procedure, resulting in a more accurate overview of your stock.
If SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure is deployed as an add-on for SAP ERP, you cannot use the manual
transactions to update the Kanban status and write tags.

Prerequisite

You use SAP enhancement package 2 or higher for SAP ERP 6.0.

Technical System Landscape

Software Components
If you install SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure as an add-on for SAP ERP, you use SAP ECC 6.0 including SAP
enhancement package 2 and higher as a backend system.
If you install SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure as an add-on for SAP ERP, you have the option of installing
SAP NetWeaver Process Integration.
General Considerations
For simplicity, the graphic for the technical infrastructure contains icons for whole SAP systems, not
for single hosts. Remember that each SAP system may consist of several hosts with different tasks. Use
the internal features of the SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP+Java to provide high availability
and load balancing between the SAP systems.

NOTE

For more information about possible system landscapes, see System Landscape [page 29].

XI Considerations
XI content is a special application content that must be installed on the XI host where each shared
application needs its own content.

NOTE

For each ABAP Support Package for SAP systems, there is a corresponding XI Content Binary
Patch Package that you must apply each time you upgrade your Support Package. This also applies

4.3 Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)

implements enterprise service interfaces to ensure semantic harmonization and business relevance.
This section deals with the service-enablement of SAP Business Suite 7.

4.3.1 Service Enablement

The service enablement of SAP Business Suite consists of one or more of the following SAP components:
Æ8ñ¬Ï SAP Business Suite 7
Enterprise services are an integral part of the software components of the SAP Business Suite
applications. Enterprise services are the technical interfaces to the functionality available in the
business application.
Æ8ñ¬Ï SAP NetWeaver PI 7.0 or higher
SAP NetWeaver Process Integration (SAP NetWeaver PI) is an open integration and application
platform that provides tools enabling you to set up a service-oriented architecture for business
applications. You can use the platform for providing, discovering, and consuming services,
integrating applications using the integration server, and managing business processes. Process
integration is required in a runtime environment to consume enterprise services in a mediated
scenario.
NOTE

Most asynchronous services can only be consumed in a mediated scenario.

NOTE

We recommend that you use the highest version of SAP NetWeaver Process Integration. For
more information, see SAP Note 1515223 and SAP Note 1388258
Æ8ñ¬€ Enterprise Services Repository
The Enterprise Services Repository (ES Repository) is the central repository that contains the
definition of all enterprise services and models. ES Repository is shipped with SAP NetWeaver
PI 7.1 and with SAP NetWeaver CE 7.1 or higher. The Enterprise Services Repository is a design
time environment that enables you to create and enhance enterprise service definitions and
to view enterprise service models.
NOTE

In a SAP NetWeaver 7.0 landscape you will require the Integration Repository to create
and enhance enterprise service definitions in a design time environment.
Æ8ñ¬€ Services Registry
The Services Registry is shipped with SAP NetWeaver PI 7.1 and SAP NetWeaver CE 7.1 or
higher and is required for the publication of enterprise service end-points (Web services) that
have been configured and activated in the SAP Business Suite.
