Accelerate Process Innovation with Enterprise Automation: SAP Signavio and SAP Integration Suite

2025-03-25T09:06:31.610000+01:00

The ability to intelligently automate business processes is top of mind for many stakeholders involved in process management across organizations. According to a recent IDC study, annual spending on Intelligent Process Automation (IPA) technologies is projected to reach $102 billion by 2028. Of this, $19.9 billion will be allocated to AI-powered automation tools, with an impressive annual growth rate of 43.4%.

While there will be certainly no shortage in resources to spend for automation software, the real challenge remains in the details: How can organizations implement a holistic approach for process excellence, which allows them to manage processes, identify bottlenecks, deliver scalable automations and integrate their process extension within a holistic process landscape. In another blogpost by Manuel,we have already outlined in detail how SAP’s framework on Enterprise Automation delivers a solution to the problem statement mentioned above.

And this blogpost series will offer you a more detailed guidance on the interconnectivity of each service included in Enterprise Automation which are:

SAP Build Process Automation
SAP Integration Suite
and of course SAP Signavio.

Let’s explore the value you can unlock for your processes by combining SAP Signavio with SAP Integration Suite in this one in this one. You can refer the blog post to understand SAP Build and SAP Integration Suite use case pattern. Also, refer the blog post to understand SAP Signavio and SAP Build use case pattern.

What is Enterprise Automation?

As outlined in previous blogpost Enterprise Automation with SAP: Enterprise automation with SAP software provides an integrated set of tools for process mining, automation, integration, monitoring, and optimization of your processes and workflows. It helps you quickly and intuitively gain insights into your business processes and identify the right automation tool for the right outcome. While each solution can be leveraged independently, Enterprise Automation offers native integration between SAP Build, SAP integration Suite and SAP Signavio – supplemented with best practices, guidance and pre-build content which can be implemented directly.

SAP Signavio provides visibility into business processes and potential bottlenecks, root-cause analysis, and suggestions for improvement based on 200,000 industry benchmarks and best practices. This detailed understanding of inefficiencies across your organization enables you to optimize and automate processes.

SAP Integration Suite is an integration platform as a service with thousands of prebuilt integrations, APIs, events and connectors to SAP and third-party software applications. The suite reduces complexity across on-premise and multi-cloud environments, helping you optimize comprehensive business processes.

SAP Build to create automations and applications using drag-and-dropthe low-code and no-code design tools. Including pre-built automations and connectors for SAP software and third- party systems, the solutions let your business experts rapidly address process inefficiencies

Here you can also see a visualization of the main components and its respective capabilities:

Leverage the combined power of SAP Signavio and SAP Integration Suite

1st scenario: Mine Third Party Data

To identify inefficiencies and biggest automation potential in your processes, Signavio lets you consistently mine data within and across your IT software systems by leveraging the power of SAP Integration Suite.

You can leverage the broad range of connectors and adapters offered by SAP Integration Suite to seamlessly integrate with any business application by designing your own iflows or by leveraging pre-built content.

In the SAP Business Accelerator Hub, you’ll find pre-built content connected to common third-party applications such as Salesforce, Coupa , Microsoft dynamics and many more to come.

Each integration flow serves the purpose of replicating business objects and their associated events from third-party systems into SAP Signavio Process Intelligence.

The combined power of SAP Signavio and SAP Integration Suite helps you jump-start process mining initiatives and save time with ready-to-use content for multiple SAP and non SAP systems. You can now effectively prioritize your process mining efforts.

Please refer the blogpost by Hoang on how to leverage pre-built content from non-SAP system like Salesforce.

If you would like to develop your own connectivity logic using Cloud Integration capability ,please refer the developer tutorial.

2nd scenario: Connect mining to third party tools

Another pattern to trigger processes without human intervention based on insights gained is using Cloud Integration capability.

Some of the scenarios in which the pattern could be leveraged be:

Automated Correction of Master Data:

SAP Signavio Process Insights can identify issues such as incorrect or incomplete master data. Based on this insight, an integration flow in SAP Integration Suite could be triggered to automatically correct or enrich the master data in the relevant SAP or non SAP system

Dynamic Customer Notifications:

If SAP Signavio Process Insights detects delays in the order-to-cash process, SAP Integration Suite could trigger notifications to customers regarding potential shipping delays or other relevant updates.

Automated Invoice Reconciliation:

SAP Signavio Process Insights can identify discrepancies in invoice processing.This could trigger an integration flow in SAP Integration Suite to automatically reconcile invoices with corresponding purchase orders and goods receipts.

Proactive Inventory Management:

When SAP Signavio Process Insights identifies potential stockouts or overstock situations, SAP Integration Suite could trigger an integration to adjust safety stock levels, initiate replenishment orders, or optimize warehouse operations.

Please refer documentation to understand how to configure cloud integration based actions.

3rd scenario: Event Driven Architectures

To be able to continuously improve processes in real time, Process analyst can configure actions in SAP Signavio based on insights gained using process data.

Using Event Mesh capability of SAP Integration suite, any SAP or non-SAP processes can be triggered for improvement. Thereby, allowing the system to proactively identify issues and initiate corrective actions based on real-time monitoring of process performance.

Examples of event-based process improvements triggered by SIGNAL queries (SAP Signavio Analytical Language) being run in SAP Signavio:

Alerting on order delays:

If a SIGNAL query detects that an order is taking significantly longer than usual to process, it could publish an event to trigger a workflow to the order management team to investigate and take corrective action in a non-SAP system

Escalating customer support issues:

When a SIGNAL query identifies a high volume of customer support tickets related to a specific product, it can automatically trigger a workflow in a non-SAP system by publishing an event to escalate the issue to a higher tier support team.

Dynamic resource allocation:

Based on real-time workload data from a SIGNAL query, an event can be published to trigger a non SAP process that could automatically reassign tasks to available team members to optimize capacity utilization.

Please refer the help documentation as to how the event-based actions are configured by a Process Analyst in SAP Signavio.

Conclusion

I hope this blog post has helped you identify the key synergies between SAP Signavio and SAP Integration Suite and how they can enable seamless automation across your enterprise. Please remember that the use cases provided are just examples and can be tailored and refined to meet your specific needs.

For further guidance, I’ve included links to additional blog posts and resources on the Help Portal that will assist you in implementing these use cases. If you're interested in exploring more scenarios related to Enterprise Automation, feel free to check out the following links:

Mastering Complex SBPA Approvals : A Deep Dive into Wait Steps, Script Tasks, and API Integrations

2025-06-03T05:00:19.725000+02:00

Welcome back to our new blog series, our previous blog series delved into the intricacies of dynamic sequential approval workflows.

In this two-part series, my colleague @Adwait_Fadnavis and I will explore some very critical business workflow requirements in detail using SAP Build Process Automation.

Throughout this blog series, we will delve into the following critical business requirements:

Part 1 - Current Blog :Mastering Complex SBPA Approvals : A Deep Dive into Wait Steps, Script Tasks, and API Integrations

Part 2 : Demonstration with Complete end to end testing

We will demonstrate how to use various SAP Build Process Automation tools to solve real-time challenges effectively.

This blog post addresses this complex requirement with detailed step-by-step instructions. You'll learn how to ensure workflows advance smoothly, even with approval condition utilizing various innovative latest features such as: Wait Step with API Triggering , Workflow Context update via API etc.

Business Context and Problem Statement

While working on multiple SAP Build Process Automation projects, we have faced situations where workflows only proceed if all departments or approvers approve them unanimously.

If any approver rejects the proposal, the entire workflow is rejected . This creates a need for a parallel approval process, adhering to an "all-or-nothing" requirement, which SAP's standard solutions do not support.

In a below sample procurement workflow, the request is created and submitted. Both the Department Manager and Finance Department must approve it simultaneously. If either rejects, the workflow is terminated.

If both approve, the request goes to the Executive for final approval. The Executive's decision determines whether the request is processed or terminated.

Dynamic Number of Parallel Approval

Technical Solutioning & Design

In this process, we will create two workflows using SAP Build Process Automation’s Low Code/No Code approach.

Let’s refer to these as Workflow A (main workflow) and Workflow B.

Workflow A( Main Workflow): This is the main workflow, triggered with all input parameters, responsible for the overall business process flow.

Workflow B(Secondary Workflow): This workflow handles the approval task. It receives the Approval ID, total number of levels, and current level. If the final approval is granted, it triggers a wait step API in Workflow A to proceed to the next level. If more approvals are needed, it sends the Approval ID to the next level.

Technical Design Steps for Workflow A:

Trigger Workflow: The workflow is initiated with input parameters.
Decision Creation: A decision step is created to determine the number of approvals require.

3. Script Task: This step determines the total number of approvals and the current approval level.

$.context.custom.doneapprovalcount = 0;
$.context.custom.currentcount = 0;
$.context.custom.subwfdefinationid = "Your Secondaray Workflow ID"; // replace with your secondary workflow id
$.context.custom.totalapprovalcount = $.context.decision_getAppprovers_1.Approvers.length;
$.context.custom.triggeredsubprocessids = [];

Condition Check: If the current level matches the total required approvals, A wait step will be created to wait for the completion. If not, Workflow B is triggered to initiate the approval task.

Trigger Workflow B: Workflow B sends the work item to the respective user for approval.
Wait Step API : This critical step waits for all parallel approvals to be completed. Once done, the dummy decision is triggered by Workflow B. This is very interesting and latest features
1. Create a Wait Step with API as follows. After Deployment it will event will create the API End Point which will used to trigger from secondary workflow B .
2. Execution ID is the Parent Workflow ID.
3. Upload the API specification and create the action for this
4. Also make sure to create the API key which will be used to trigger it from secondary workflow B.

Technical Design Steps for Workflow B (Triggered via Workflow A)

Trigger from Workflow A : Workflow B starts when Workflow A reaches a certain point to manage approval tasks separately and in parallel to the main workflow.
Send Approval Task: The approval task is sent to the current level approver to obtain necessary approvals at each level before proceeding.
On Approval: The system retrieves instance details and updates the approval count to keep track of completed approvals and update the workflow status.
sample code

$.context.custom.approvedcount = $.context.action_get_getV1WorkflowInstancesWorkflowInstanceIdContext_6.result.custom.doneapprovalcount + 1;

Check Count: The system checks if all required approvals are obtained:
- If all approvals are done, the workflow proceeds to the next step.
- If not all approvals are done This ensures the workflow only proceeds once all approvals are obtained
Update Parent Workflow A Approval Action : increment the update count. created a custom action. If all the approvals not done, then update the approval count via custom action. (refer our previous blog how to create action for workflow API)
Retrieve Task ID & Trigger Wait API trigger wait step ( API) in Workflow A to signal that the approval process is complete / Reject and it can proceed.
- Now come to most crucial part of the Development: Trigger the wait step via API
- Created a custom action project for the wait step api end point.
- Here is the Input mapping for the API call. Needs to provide the API Key and Parent ID.
- It will trigger the wait step in workflow A to approve / move forward the workflow .

In the upcoming blog post - Demonstration with complete end to end testing , @Adwait_Fadnavis will delve into the complete end to end testing for these which is very critical to understand the whole development flow.

Stay tuned for a comprehensive guide that will enhance your understanding and streamline your Development process.

Mastering SBPA Approvals : A Deep Dive into Wait Steps, Script Tasks, and API Integrations , Part 2

2025-06-03T17:49:45.591000+02:00

In our previous blog post, "Mastering Complex Approvals: A Deep Dive into Wait Steps, Script Tasks, and API Integrations," my colleague & SAP Mentor @mohit_bansal3 tackled a common but challenging business requirement: the "all-or-nothing" approval process.

Part 1 - Mastering Complex SBPA Approvals : A Deep Dive into Wait Steps, Script Tasks, and API Integrations

Part 2 : Current Blog : Demonstration with Complete end to end testing

We explored how SAP Build Process Automation, leveraging features like Wait Steps with API Triggering and workflow context updates via API, can handle scenarios where multiple approvals are needed simultaneously, and a single rejection stops the entire workflow.

We walked through a procurement example where both Department Managers and the Finance Department had to unanimously approve a request before it could proceed.

Now, in this second blog, we will demonstrate the step-by-step testing process for the solution we developed. This will allow you to understand the entire development flow more deeply, from concept to validation. Let's dive into the testing for the previous blog's implementation!

Handling Approval Outcomes: Positive and Negative Scenarios

The "All-or-Nothing" Positive Scenario : Lets Start the complete Testing Process

Let's first explore the "positive scenario," where every approver gives their stamp of approval. In this ideal outcome, once all required approvals are secured, the main workflow successfully completes its designated task. This seamless progression is the goal of our "All-or-Nothing" design, ensuring that every necessary check is performed before finalization.

Approval Process Triggering
As you know from our previous blog, for demonstration purposes, we created a simple form within SAP Build Process Automation (SBPA).

Main process upon submission of request: Context and log

You'll notice two approvers listed, which will initiate two parallel workflows. We covered the specifics of these parallel workflows in a previous blog post. The determination of these approvers can come from a decision table or your own custom logic.

The key takeaway here is that we've dynamically fetched two approvers, demonstrating the adaptable nature of this step. it can handle any number of approvers.

Dynamically Triggering Secondary Workflows

We're now kicking off secondary workflows dynamically, and the number of these workflows depends entirely on the number of approvers.

For our current scenario, since we have two approvers, this process will trigger two parallel secondary workflows.

Each of these workflows will then send an individual approval request directly to each approver's My Inbox.

Dynamically Secondary Workflow Triggered via API

My Inbox View
Here's a quick look at My Inbox. For this demonstration, we've assigned the same approver.

That's why you see two work items in this approver's inbox. In a real-world scenario, these would be two separate workflow approval items, each in the respective approver's inbox.

Crucially, the main workflow won't complete until both approvals are in.

Workflow Progress After First Approval
The screenshot below shows the workflow log after the first approver has taken action. As you can see, the workflow isn't complete yet; it's waiting for the second secondary workflow to be actioned.

The main workflow will only move forward once both approvals are done.

But before we get ahead of ourselves, let's examine the workflow log immediately after that initial approvals.

Updating the Main Workflow Context after each approval: SBPA API used as action
We'll be updating the main workflow's context after each approval and then comparing it against the total required count.

Here's a quick glimpse of what happens to the workflow context once the first approval is complete.

You can see the "donecount" increasing, which we'll use to compare against the total number of approvals needed.

We achieve this by updating the main workflow via its API, a process we've already covered in a previous blog post.

The Final Approval and Workflow Completion
Now, let's go a step deeper and understand the flow when the second, and final, approver takes action.

Once they approve, you'll see that the secondary workflow also completes, which then triggers the wait step in the main workflow.

This wait step is triggered via an API, a process we covered in detail in a previous blog post.

Understanding this particular use case of the wait step with an API is a critical aspect of this blog's core message.

Workflow Context After All Approvals
Now, let's carefully examine how the workflow context gets updated once all approvals are complete.

This is the crucial step that triggers the wait step and allows our main workflow to proceed.

In this scenario, the "donecount" becomes equal to the total number of required approvals, which in turn triggers the wait step API.

Handling Approval Outcomes: Positive and Negative Scenarios

so far We've explored the "positive scenario," where all approvers green-light the requests, leading to the main workflow's successful completion.

But what happens when an approver rejects a request?

Imagine a scenario where just one approver rejects. In such a case, the entire workflow must be rejected. My colleague, Mohit Bansal, detailed the design considerations for this rejection scenario in a previous blog post, so from a testing perspective, the approach remains similar.

However, in a rejection scenario, we need to take crucial additional steps:

Call the workflow cancel API: This immediately stops the main workflow.
Cancel any remaining open instances of secondary workflows: This is critical for designing a robust, production-ready complex workflow. Without canceling these, you could have orphaned workflow instances consuming resources or causing confusion.
Here's a quick look at how the system responds when any approver rejects: the main workflow is canceled, and all remaining open secondary workflow instances are also terminated.

We hope you enjoyed our blog series! We dove deep into complex workflow approval scenarios, exploring how to effectively leverage wait steps and workflow APIs to achieve robust "all-or-nothing" approval processes.

Please feel free to leave comments and share your thoughts. A big thank you to my colleague @mohit_bansal3 for his contributions, and stay tuned for more blogs on the latest innovations in this area!

New SAP Build Process Automation content for side-by-side extensions with flexible workflows

2025-06-30T12:39:16.202000+02:00

My colleagues published a SAP Build Process Automation action package "Flexible Workflow Scenario Notifications Action" on SAP Business Accelerator Hub and in the SAP Build Store so that it becomes easier for Citizen Developer to discover and consume it.

It oﬀers an action for an outcome driven extension workﬂow and makes it easier to combine ﬂexible workﬂows from SAP S/4HANA with SAP Build Process Automation capabilities.

From a use case perspective, you could think of including process participants from outside (like external project managers) into the SAP S/4HANA Process. Or you include centrally managed services from SAP BTP like a Rules Service or Joule Skills into your SAP S/4HANA workﬂow project. Or you like to leverage ML services like the recommendation capability of SAP Task Center, which is only available for SAP Build Process Automation tasks? For the blog I took the use case with process participants from outside to explain the possibilities.

In line with side-by-side extensibility ﬂexible workﬂow oﬀers an activitytype "extension step" which can be implemented by flexible workflow scenarios to offer side-by-side extension. It is guideline for all scenario developers to enable it.

I will give a short overview and add some points in addition to the oﬃcial documentation.

The solution architecture gives an overview on the connection between Sales Order Creation in SAP S/4HANA and SAP BTP. Over the ﬂexible workﬂow capability of SAP Business Workﬂow it is possible to start an extension process and get back the result / outcome from SAP Build Process Automation .

Configuration in SAP S/4HANA starts with definition of decision reasons for sales orders. In our use case we want to start a flexible workﬂow which is the internal approval solution. After setting an internal approval reason a BAdI checks after saving the Sales Order if an approval is necessary. If true a start event is thrown and checks if a workﬂow is deﬁned in the Manage Workﬂow Application for our scenario. If the scenario contains an extension step, the business process expert is able to configures an extension step with a process deﬁnition from SAP Build Process Automation from the connected BTP subaccount. During runtime when the flow comes to the extension, a SAP Build Process Automation workflow is started via api and a standardize payload.

For shared environments an API Trigger is needed. In the extension workﬂow of our use case we derive the complete sales order header data over an API call to SAP S/4HANA and use this data for Agent Determination. After agent determination via decision table a user decision is modelled with two outcomes.

After the user decision took place we need to set the outcome via script and use it in the action content package. Go to SAP Build Store. Search for "flexible".

Click on the action project for review the details.

Add the action to your project.

To use the action and point to the correct ABAP-Backend-System:

define a destination variable in the SAP Build Process Automation project.
define a destination in the BTP Cockpit to the ABAP-Backend-System(s)
map the destination to the destination variable during deployment of the project.

Define the workflowInstanceId in the context and fill it from the start payload. For the names of the outcomes you need to look up the flexible workflow scenario or check the documentation of the used scenario. If it is custom build in SAP S/4HANA Cloud, private edition or SAP S/4HANA (like in this blog) check your implementation of the extension step and fill the outcomes accordingly.

Please be aware that the development livecycle of the projects on SAP S/4HANA and SAP BTP is independent. We work on further enhancements to simplify the integration via the extensibility wizard and also on more features to enrich the possibilities. So stay tuned. A big thanks to all colleagues supporting the integration.

Connect to Public Cloud API in Node.js via Authorisation Code

2025-07-22T13:54:57.292000+02:00

Connecting to a Public Cloud API (from Business Accelerator Hub) via Node.js CAP application can be challenging. I hope this blog helps others attempting the same task.

Prerequisites

• SAP BTP subaccount (Cloud Foundry)
• Service key for the target Public Cloud API
• XSUAA instance bound to your CAP app
• SAP BTP Destination service instance
• Bruno installed for manual testing

1. Confirm the API's Auth Options

First, check which authentication methods are available for the API you plan to consume.

In my example I connect to the Specification Management API, but the steps apply to any Public Cloud API.

If the OAuth 2.0 Access Code Flow is listed under “Authentication Methods”, the API supports the authorization-code flow. That flow confirms a user context and usually grants wider authorisations, such as update and POST requests.

(OAuth 2.0 Application Flow corresponds to the client-credentials flow.)

2. Connect manually with Bruno (Good blog on Bruno)

Because our API supports the auth-code flow, we first prove we can log in by calling it via Bruno.

Create a new collection and paste the base URI of your Public Cloud API instance (you’ll find it in the service key in your service instance of the saas application your connecting to).

When you send a test GET request you will probably receive an authorisation error. Configure OAuth 2.0 on the Auth tab

Select Grant type Authorisation Code

Then fill in the below fields using your service key from your service instance

Callback URL: <your Public Cloud API hostname>
Auth URL:** https://<subdomain>.authentication.<region>.hana.ondemand.com/oauth/authorize
Access-Token URL: https://<subdomain>.authentication.<region>.hana.ondemand.com/oauth/token
Client ID / Secret: from the uaa section of the service key

Request the token, pick your identity provider, and Bruno will return an access token. Inspect the scopes there to see what you can do.

3. Connect to the API from Node.js

After the manual check we can now automate the flow in a Node.js service.

3.1 Destination setup

Create a destination that points to the same API endpoint and bind it to your app.

The required scopes and the audience (aud) value are visible inside the Bruno access token.

the Audience should start with the client id of your CAP application on BTP

Once the destination is saved, ensure your application is bound to the Destination service.

3.2 xs-security.json

Add every scope your service needs so the approuter, it will forward it in the user’s JWT: in my example i needed this scope.

{
  "name": "$XSAPPNAME.Spc_Write",
  "description": "Allow modification of specifications."
}

Also reference the scope in authorities (and role templates, if used) and assign the resulting role collection to your user.

3.3 Connect in code

Now time to connect to the API in the code itself.

First, obtain the user’s JWT. This helper below tries every possible source and falls back to LOCAL_USER_JWT in local development:

/** Try every source for a JWT and fall back to LOCAL_USER_JWT. */
function getJwt(capReq) {
  // CAP ≥ 7.3 keeps the raw token here
  if (capReq.user?.jwt) return capReq.user.jwt;

  // Plain HTTP / WebSocket headers
  const hdrs = capReq.http?.req?.headers || {};
  const token =
        hdrs['x-approuter-authorization'] ||   // CF WebSocket
        hdrs.authorization;                    // CF HTTP

  if (token) return token.replace(/^Bearer\s+/, '');
  // Last resort for local dev
  return process.env.LOCAL_USER_JWT;
}

3.3.1 Testing locally

When testing locally we don't have access to the user JWT so we can add it manually to the environment file so we can still test locally, below is the process to get the JWT for user testing (each token lasts about 7 to 8 hours)

Step 1 – Get an auth code

https://<instance>.eu10.authentication.eu10.hana.ondemand.com/oauth/authorize
?response_type=code
&client_id=<XSUAA client id of your deployed app>
&redirect_uri=http://localhost
&state=xyz

Paste your version into your browsers address bar, after login you will land on http://localhost/?code=<AUTH_CODE>&state=xyz. Copy the value of AUTH_CODE.

Step 2 – Exchange the code for a JWT

I made the Curl Request inside BAS itself. it will return a number of tokens, we only need the first and biggest one.

curl -v -X POST \
-u '<same client id>' \
--data-urlencode grant_type=authorization_code \
--data-urlencode code=<AUTH_CODE> \
--data-urlencode redirect_uri=http://localhost \
https://<instance>.eu10.authentication.eu10.hana.ondemand.com/oauth/token

Save the token from the response into .env:

LOCAL_USER_JWT=<paste JWT here>

3.3.2 Call the destination with the JWT

const jwt = getJwt(req);
if (!jwt) req.reject(401, 'No user token found.');

const dest = await getDestination({
  destinationName: '<DestinationName>',
  jwt
});

await executeHttpRequest(dest, {
  method: 'POST',
  url: `/odata/v4/api/specification/v1/${EntityName}`,
  data: v
});

If you reach the destination but receive 401 Unauthorized, your JWT is missing the correct scope—ask the product team which one you need.

Other common pitfall is using the different XSUAA instances to get your JWT for the local run. use your applications XSUAA client since this is the same one your application will check the token against

And that’s it! You should now be able to read from and write to the Public Cloud API. For read-only workloads the client-credentials flow is usually simpler.

If I missed anything or you’d like more details, please comment below—happy to help.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What’s the difference between authorization-code and client-credentials flows?
The authorization-code flow runs in a user context, so it can carry user-level scopes (read, write, update). The client-credentials flow operates with a technical user—perfect for background jobs or read-only integrations.

### Why do I get “401 Unauthorized” after deployment?
Your user’s JWT is probably missing the required scope (e.g., `Spc_Write`). Make sure the scope is listed in xs-security.json, mapped to a role template, and assigned via a role collection in the BTP cockpit.

### Which audience value belongs in my destination?
Use the client ID of your CAP application’s XSUAA instance; it usually starts with `sb-<appName>!t<number>`.

API Consumption - S/4 HANA Cloud,Public Edition and S/4 HANA Cloud,Private Edition

2025-07-25T14:23:04.065000+02:00

With the evolving SAP landscape and customers moving to S/4 HANA Cloud , our prime focus as a consultant is to follow a clean core approach.

SAP Business Accelerator Hub(https://api.sap.com/) is one such platform which helps us in discovering standard APIs,Events, Extensibility options

which we can consume in our S/4 HANA landscape to achieve end-to-end business functionality. This blog focusses mainly on the API consumption from

SAP Business Accelerator HUB and how it differs between the two of the S/4 HANA Cloud offerings - S/4 HANA Cloud,Public Edition and S/4 HANA Cloud,Private Edition.

We will first go through some of the basic differences and then focus on technically how we can use or consume these APIs in each of the environments.

S/4 HANA Cloud Public Edition

S/4 HANA Cloud Private Edition

Where to find?

Ready to use APIs available in Business Accelerator Hub(https://api.sap.com/) to be explored under the Tile -

Ready to use APIs available in Business Accelerator Hub(https://api.sap.com/) to be explored under the Tile –

Activation

Communication management based API Activation. APIs are part of a standard communication scenario. Communication scenario can be found from SAP Business Accelerator HUB as below –

SICF based API activation(OData V2)For OData V4 no specific activation is needed but the Service Group needs to be published. Not associated to any communication scenario.

Sandbox availability

“TryOut” option available in SAP Business Accelerator HUB for OData APIs to execute the CRUD methods with Sandbox data. Also you can deploy your own system to do tryout with your actual data of your S/4 HANA Cloud,Public Edition system.

No Tryout option available with any Sandbox. Also here the S/4 HANA system is in a private network and often there will be a Cloud Connector in between so TryOut options have been restricted for APIs for Private Edition

Consumption

API is consumed through a communication arrangement which is based on a standard communication scenario. Standard Fiori Application - Communication Arrangements to be used for consumption.

For OData V2 API is activated through transaction code - /n/IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE.

For OData V4 API no separates activation is required but service group needs to be published through transaction code - /n/IWFND/V4_ADMIN

Practice Guide

We will be using OData V2 - API - API_PRODUCT_SRV as an example to demonstrate the activation of the API in S/4 HANA Public Cloud and S/4 HANA Private Cloud.

API Link for Public Edition – https://api.sap.com/api/API_PRODUCT_SRV/overview

API Link for Private Edition - https://api.sap.com/api/OP_API_PRODUCT_SRV_0001/overview

Scenario 1# Activating API in Public Cloud –

Navigate to the link https://api.sap.com/api/CE_PRODUCT_0002/overview for the API or you can search the API as below.

In https://api.sap.com/ go to the tile SAP S/4 HANA Cloud Public Edition

Under APIs go to ODATA V2 and search with “Product” and open the one Product Master(A2X) which say ODATA V2 API and is “Active” for usage.

From SAP Business Accelerator HUB you will get the SAP standard communication scenario for the API –

Here we will be creating arrangement for communication scenario – SAP_COM_009

Next create a communication user from the Fiori application “Create Communication User”.

Give a Username and you can use the “Propose Password” option or you can add your own password.

Next step is to create a communication system from the Fiori application “Communication Systems”

Click on “New” and provide a System ID and System Name –

Go to tab “Users for Inbound Communication” and assign the user you just created in the previous step using “Create Communication Users”.

For the ease of use you can check the checkbox “Inbound Only” which means you are not expecting any outbound communication (S/4HANA -> External) through this communication system and so you will not be asked to enter any user for Outbound communication user for this communication system.

Save the communication system.

Next step is to create the communication arrangement. Go to application “Communication Arrangements”

Click on “New”

In the following tab enter “SAP_COM_0009” as the standard communication scenario for API_PRODUCT_SRV.

Select the ‘Communication System'(from value help) which we have just created in the previous step. The assigned Communication User will now automatically appear in User Name field.

Click “Save” and it will activate your communication arrangement.

You can get your actual service URL for all Inbound Services associated, under the tab “Inbound Services” under the column “Service URL/Service Interface”.

Similarly all the Outbound services associated with this communication Scenario “SAP_COM_0009” will show under the tab “Outbound Services”.Outbound services are generally either SOAP Outbound services or IDOCs.

All the services that belong to the communication scenario “SAP_COM_0009” will be listed here under the tab “Inbound Service”.

Get the URL where the Service says “Product Master(A2X)” / OData V2”

The API link looks like this - https://<host>/sap/opu/odata/sap/API_PRODUCT_SRV

So this makes your API ready for consumption from the external system.

Get the service URL and test it from POSTMAN using the communication user that you created in the first step. In POSTMAN you can use it for Basic Authentication under Authorization.

You can call this URL from SAP Integration Suite using a OData V2 Adapter with basic authentication with the user you created in “Communication User” application.

Note – For Public cloud the way of activating a OData V2 service and OData V4 service are same unlike Private Cloud where there is a difference.

So for OData V4 the API will be also activated by a communication arrangement only as shown above and the URL will look like this - https://<host>/sap/opu/odata4/sap/api_product/srvd_a2x/sap/product/0002/

Link to API Hub for the OData V4 API of Product Master - https://api.sap.com/api/CE_PRODUCT_0002/overview

Scenario 2# Activating API in Private Cloud –

First step same as Public cloud to find the API from https://api.sap.com/ .

Navigate to the link https://api.sap.com/api/OP_API_PRODUCT_SRV_0001/overview for the API or you can search the API as below.

In https://api.sap.com/ go to the tile SAP S/4 HANA Cloud Private Edition

Under APIs go to ODATA V2 and search with “Product master” and open the one Product Master(A2X) which say ODATA V2 API.

Next Run Transaction Code - /n/IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE

Click on “Add Service”

Provide System Alias = “LOCAL” and under Technical Service name – “API_PRODUCT_SRV” and click on “Get Services”

Then select the service you want to activate and click on “Add Selected Services”

You can provide the package where you want to assign the service.

If you want to use OAuth authentication you have to check the checkbox “Enable OAuth for Service”

The next step is to activate the service as shown below. However it is recommended to go and activate the service from SICF transaction code.

Your OData V2 Activation is complete and you can test it from the Gateway. You can call this service now from SAP Integration Suite with a technical user who has the necessary roles.

Bonus Scenario # Now we will see how we can activate a similar OData V4 service of Product Master.

To find the OData V4 API go to https://api.sap.com/ and go to the node – “SAP S/4 HANA Cloud Private Edition”

:291522iD133E2FCB72EF160:

Under APIs->ODATA V4 -> Search Product

Select the “Odata V4” one which is “Active” and not “DEPRECATED”

Under API Resources -> Attributes you will find the Service Group Name which you need to publish.

Now Go to Transaction - /n/IWFND/V4_ADMIN and click on “Publish Service Groups”

Next enter the Service Group Name you got from Business accelerator Hub and click on “Get Service Groups”

Now your OData V4 API will be ready for consumption from Integration Suite.

EOIO is essential in business scenarios where the receiving system requires messages to be received exactly once in the correct order, such as banking operations like deposits and withdrawals, where message order is critical. This functionality supports EOIO via exclusive queues in Cloud Integration and exclusive or partitioned queues using Advance Event Mesh. It ensures no duplicate messages or message loss, as well as the preservation of message sequence during processing.

To learn more about EOIO and how to configure Java Message Service (JMS) adapter, check out New integration flow design guidelines covering Exactly Once In Order pattern, the documentation, and the sample integration flows on SAP Business Accelerator Hub. For AEM, see Exactly once in order (EOIO) for Group messages using Advanced Event Mesh.

Extending SBPA Processes with APIs and Using Them in Integrated Product Development

2025-09-12T08:32:57.494000+02:00

Introduction

In the first blog post, we built and deployed a functional workflow in SAP Build Process Automation (SBPA) and connected it to Integrated Product Development (IPD). Now, it’s time to take the next step: extending your process with API integrations.

In this article, we will explore how to set up and use APIs within SBPA processes to enrich your workflows with collaboration data and advanced functionality from IPD. You will learn how to:

Add and configure destinations
Set up and manage Actions in SBPA
Include and execute API calls directly within your process

Our specific goal in this post is to retrieve the Collaboration Name via an API call and make it visible inside a form within your workflow. By the end of this post, you’ll know how to connect SBPA to IPD Collaboration APIs and enrich your workflow with live collaboration data.

Prerequisite: You need a functional IPD workflow in SBPA. If you haven’t created one yet, you can follow my step-by-step guide to build a process in SBPA and integrate it into IPD.

Guide

Step 1: Register the EDP_Collaboration destination in SBPA

From the SAP Build (SBPA) Lobby, open Control Tower.
Under Backend Configuration, click Destinations.

Step 2: Select the EPD_Collaboration destination

To add a destination, click the Add button.
Choose the EPD_Collaboration destination from the list.
Click Next to proceed to Associate Environments.

Step 3: Associate the destination with environments

In the Associate Environments step, choose how the destination should be available:
- All Environments: makes the destination usable in every SBPA environment.
- Specific Environments: select only the environments where this destination should be active.
Click Add Destination to save.

Step 4: Create an Actions project

In the SBPA Lobby, go to Connectors → Actions.
Click Create (top-right).

Step 5: Import the IPD Collaboration API from the SAP Business Accelerator Hub

In your Actions project, click Choose an API Source and select SAP Business Accelerator Hub.
In the search bar, type Collaboration and select Collaboration (ODATA) under SAP Integrated Product Development (IPD).
Import the API into your Actions project.

Step 6: Create the Action Project

After selecting the Collaboration API, you will be prompted to create an Action project.
The Project Name and Description are prefilled with default values. You can keep them or adjust as needed.
Click Create to finalize the Action project setup.

Step 7: Add Available API Actions

A list of API actions from the SAP Business Accelerator Hub will appear.
Select the APIs you want to use for your collaboration scenario (for this guide: Retrieve a collaboration for the specified collaboration ID).
Confirm with Add.
All chosen API actions will now be available in your Action Project.

Tip: If you want to add an API later, open the Available Actions window using the Add button next to Actions.

Step 8: Add missing "From" header for IPD APIs

For many IPD APIs, an additional From header is required. This header is not automatically included and must be configured manually.

Open Add under the Parameters section.
Configure the parameter as follows:
- Key: From
- Mandatory: Yes
- Parameter: header
- Type: string
Add the parameter.

To check whether an API requires the From header, refer to the SAP API Business Hub – EPD Collaboration API.

Step 9: Save, Release and Publish the Action Project

Click Save.
Click Release.
Click Publish.

Step 10: Move back into the process

After releasing and publishing the Action Project, return to your process model to continue the setup.

Open your project in SAP Build Process Automation.
Switch the project from Deployed back to Editable mode by selecting the dropdown and choosing Editable.
- This allows you to make changes to the process again.
In the project overview, click on your process (e.g., IPD Process) to reopen it in the process editor.

Step 11: Add the CollaborationID and TechnicalUser as custom variables

Under Process Details, configure Custom Variables.
Add CollaborationID and technicalUser as custom variables.
- You can either set the technicalUser directly as an initial variable or define it later in a Script Task.

Step 12: Extract the Collaboration ID from the Business Key

Add a Script Task to your process.
In the script editor, insert the following JavaScript logic:

// get Business Key
var businessKey = $.context.startEvent.businessKey;

// delete "Collaboration"
var collaborationId = businessKey.replace("Collaboration", "");

// Write in Context
$.context.custom.collaborationid = collaborationId;
$.context.custom.technicalUser = "your@mail.com"; // enter the technical User Mail

Step 13: Add Collaboration Actions

After the Script Task, add a new element and select Action.
This connects the Collaboration API (configured earlier) directly to your process.
You can either reuse an existing action from your library or add a new one by selecting Browse All Actions.
In the Action Library, search for and select the Collaboration API you want to use (In this guide the API: Retrieves a collaboration for the specified collaboration ID).

Step 14: Configure Destination Variable

Choose a Name for the step.
Under Destination Variable, create or select the variable that points to your Collaboration destination.
When deploying the workflow, set this destination variable to EPD_Collaboration.

Step 15: Configure API Inputs

In the workflow action settings, navigate to the Inputs tab.
For the field From, select the variable technicalUser.
For the field ID, select the variable CollaborationID.

This maps your process data to the API request. All responses from the API call are available as variables, which can be mapped and used in the input fields.

Step 16: Add result from API to your Form

Open the form.
Click Open Editor.
Add a Text Field and name it Collaboration Name.
Save the form.
Return to the Process and open the Input tab of the form.
Add the Collaboration Name into the field.

Step 17: Save, Release, and Deploy the Project

Save your project after adding the API steps.
Release the project to make it ready for deployment.
During deployment, set the Destination Variable to the EPD_Collaboration destination.

Step 18: Start the Workflow in SAP IPD

Open the My Collaborations app in SAP IPD.
Select a collaboration where the workflow is already linked to the collaboration type (see how to do that: SBPA Guide)
Add the workflow to the collaboration.

Note: This requires that you have completed all configuration steps from the SBPA guide, including setting up the Business Key, defining the Subject, and configuring the Workflow Properties and other prerequisites. Since the process was already configured, deploying it in SBPA only creates a new version of the workflow. When you start the workflow in IPD, the newly deployed version will be executed.

Step 20: Check the updated form in My Inbox

Open the My Inbox app in SAP IPD.
Select the task created by your workflow.
In the form, locate the text field Collaboration Name.
The field now displays the Collaboration Name that was returned by the API.

Optional: Monitor the Workflow

Use the Monitor Workflow app to track execution details.
In the monitoring view, verify that the API call is executed successfully and inspect the request and response data if needed.

Conclusion

Great work! You have successfully extended your workflow in SAP Build Process Automation by integrating APIs and connected it with Integrated Product Development. With the Collaboration API in place, your process can now dynamically retrieve and display collaboration data, such as the Collaboration Name, directly inside your forms.

Beyond this example, you can use many other APIs from the SAP Business Accelerator Hub to enrich your workflows with additional business data, collaboration features, or system integrations. This demonstrates how SBPA can go beyond simple workflow automation and become a powerful integration layer for IPD.
