Has anybody on the list implemented the SAP/XI/Netweaver "out-of-the- box" EDI solutions?
We are looking at potentially implementing SAP and they've indicated that many of our existing EDI integration processes are pre- configured and delivered as part of the product (see email below to get an idea what I'm referring to). My company is in the consumer electronics space and I'm looking at the full "Order-To-Cash" process (e.g. 850, 855, 940, 945, 810) along with a "tightly synchronized Procure-To-Pay" process (850,855, 860,865,856,810). My question is how "out-of-the-box" is it? Can it handle requirements from customers like Staples, Target and Walmart? Can the Procure-To-Pay" process easily handle numerous PO changes from both sides (customer and supplier). Any info (especially those without a financial tie to SAP) would be appreciated.
