Web-Based User Interface Available on Mobile Devices and Within SAP

By applying the HTML5 technology that is also used for SAP’s Fiori and SAPUI5 apps, the status of SAP interfaces can be checked from mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet PCs. Consequently, the user can intervene, if necessary, from remote locations or when travelling. The SAP authorization system ensures that only the user with the right to see the IDoc data will have the relevant access to them or be allowed to change them.

After obtaining the EPO IDoc Monitor, both business and IT users will no longer think of using the SAP transaction BD87, which is the basis for EDI/IDoc processing in SAP.

In order to get a quick overview of all inbound and outbound business documents, the SAP user will enjoy the convenience of navigating through the HTML5 app, which also can be accessed through the SAP GUI user interface.

EPO IDoc Monitor Functionalities

• Selection of data according to SAP organizational elements, such as plant and accounting area
• Presentation of IDoc data as an ALV list with various additional features
• Processing of IDoc data directly from the EPO IDoc Monitor
• HTML viewing and editing of IDocs within the SAP GUI user interface
• SAP authorization reflecting document type, organizational unit and action
