SAP S4/HANA OData Spoke Demo Videos

New article articles in ServiceNow Community · Nov 15, 2024 · article

Hello All,

SAP S/4 HANA OData Spoke is built by Bristlecone Inc.

SAP S/4 HANA OData Spoke provides a list of actions that interact with SAP standard OData APIs.

The spoke provides the foundation to synchronize ServiceNow and SAP S/4 HANA, such as looking up suppliers, materials, purchase groups, COAs, currencies, business partner addresses, and so on.

Bristlecone Inc has created end-to-end demo videos for the Spoke to provide a better user experience.

1. User Demo Dependency and Connection Setup:

Video outlines the procedure for setting up Integration Hub’s SAP S/4HANA OData Spoke, including the configuration of connection and credential records in ServiceNow.

Let’s dive into the video for more information: Video

2. Bi-directional flow between ServiceNow and SAP S4/HANA OData Spoke:

Video demonstrates the bi-directional data flow between a ServiceNow instance and an SAP S/4HANA OData instance.

In the first section of the video, a new supplier record is created in ServiceNow first and through the Workflow automation,

it will send the newly created record to SAP S/4HANA using the Spoke. When the supplier is created in SAP S/4HANA, it will send back the supplier ID to ServiceNow, and the Workflow will update the associated supplier record in ServiceNow with this SAP’s supplier ID as a foreign key for correlation purpose.

In the second section of the video, we demonstrate how to create a flow that retrieves updated data from the SAP S/4HANA OData system and imports it into the ServiceNow instance.

3. Pull master data from the SAP system into ServiceNow:

Video demonstrates how to create a staging table in the ServiceNow instance to save data populated from the SAP S/4 HANA OData system.

4. Demo for Extending Actions:

Video guides you through the process of creating a Spoke action and enhancing its functionality.

It includes instructions on adding an additional output field and incorporating it into the post-processing script. We then execute the Spoke action to ensure that the output value is correctly populated.

5. Sample remote table demo:

Video demonstrates how to create a column in the required remote table and assign it as a field in the remote table definition. We will accomplish this through scripting and automatically populate the data by triggering a spoke action in Workflow Studio.
