This is not just another Idoc or EDI course.  SAP roles don't stop at Idocs creation so why should this course! Instead, this course covers the how to implementation the Supply Chain Interfaces using industry standard messages (like EDIFACT and X12),  middleware,  and SAP Idocs.  If you want to know about SAP interfaces, this is the course.

Want to improve your knowledge in SAP's Supply Chain EDI technology? Want that role in SAP? Want to know how SAP inbound and outbound interfaces are configured and what values are required to get them work? Should you update the delivery date or confirmation date on a purchase order once it is confirmed? Or why the purchase order and sales order uses the ORDERS Idoc?
