Its all about getting the right data to SAP
If you use a CPQ application (that is not SAP) for your product options, guided selling, user selections, product definition, product logic, pricing, proposal generation, or order and quote generation, how do you update SAP?
In order to best use your SAP application, SAP must have information that it understands. You may have already experienced how SAP will reject your configured quote or order because you didn't have the right characteristics. There are many reasons and we know SAP configuration requirements as well as anyone. So we created a new application using the standard SAP BAPI's.
Avenue Q&O uploads and updates Quotes, Orders or Contracts created in a third party CPQ software application/configurator
It is a bi-directional solution that keeps the quote/order/contract in synch when changes are made on either side. Change your CPQ quote and it send it to SAP. Change a SAP quote and send it to your CPQ solution.
Avenue Q&O does not simply place the quote or order in SAP. Avenue Q&O acknowledges the quote/order once updated in SAP and returns the reference number to your CPQ application that sent the data You can inquire about the quote/order, you can change the quote/order and then resubmit it to SAP. Only Avenue Q&O provides this robust integration.
Even the most popular integration applications and appliances in the market today do not provide for integration of CONFIGURABLE product data with SAP
Jitterbit, BOOMI, Apache Camel, MuleSoft, SAP PI and many others can integrate your master data, but ask them to take your CPQ detail quotes or orders and their line items to SAP. Their answer may not be what you wanted to hear. So, how do you integrate and take all of the CPQ details and update SAP and make it right everytime?
Getting the header and line item information to SAP is a well defined process, but when there are characteristics (options) that have to be moved with the line item, that is a different story. This is one of the reasons we created Avenue Q&O; to complete the cycle and do it right the first time.
