This blog post will explain how can we call a SCPI IFlow using SAP CPQ Ironpython Scripting. we can also call this same script as a custom Action.
To get more details on CPQ. Refer SAP CALLIDUS CPQ
To get more details on SCPI. Refer SAP CLOUD INTEGRATION
Business Case:
SAP CPQ by default provides standard integrations with SAP tools like ECC/ S4HANA/ BRIM/ C4C ..etc . Using this approach we can Send and Get information easily whenever we need (In a Click).
Here we will implement required Integration in SCPI and that IFlow will be called in CPQ script.
- We can connect to an External System and get the required Information like Shipping/Cost/Pricing..etc
- Can Send Quote information from CPQ to third party tool.
- Can Create an ORDER in third party tools.
- Can Send Information to other CRM solutions.
Steps:
Step1: Create an IFLOW in SCPI and convert that ENDPOINT as API.
More details can get from sap-cloud-integration-step-towards-building-api-based-integrations
IFlow Created in SCPI
Step2: Create a Script in CPQ. Based on requirement we can create script in 2 ways
-
- Global Script:
we can make this as a global script and can attach to an EVENT. when that particular event happens this code will execute.
-
- Custom Action:
We can create this script as an Action/Button and can call in any status or by any user.
For More details on these scripts. Refer SAP CPQ HELP DOCUMENT
CPQ Custom Action
Step3: Write Ironpython Code.
Ex: Below code calls the iflow and and send quote information
url ='https://<CPI>-iflmap.hcisb.int.sap.eu2.hana.ondemand.com/http/CPQTOICMCALLV1'
headers = { 'authorization': RestClient.GetBasicAuthenticationHeader('username', 'pwd') }
data = '{"QuoteID": "'+Quote.CompositeNumber+'"}'
Trace.Write(data)
RestClient.Post(url, data, headers)Step4: Enable this action at required statuses with in CPQ.
Enable Action in CPQ Workflow Screen
Same action is appears in Quote Screen
