Before you begin
To configure the SAP S/4HANA integration, make sure you have:
- A SAP S/4HANA user with the admin role
SAP_BR_ADMINISTRATOR- Alternatively, a business role with access to the catalogs

- Alternatively, a business role with access to the catalogs
- The ID of your SAP S/4HANA account. You can retrieve this from the URL. If the URL is
https://my415205.s4hana.cloud.sap/ui#Shell-home, the account ID ismy415205.
Prepare SAP S/4HANA
Step 1. Create a communication user
Use the app Maintain Communication Users to create a new communication user, then store the username and password for later use.
Step 2. Create a communication system
Use the app Communication Systems to create a communication system. When you do, make sure to select the following options:
| Location | Option |

| Technical Data | Select the Inbound Only option |
| Users for Inbound Communication | Add the user created in Step 1, selecting username and password as the authentication method. |
Step 3. Create communication arrangements
Use the app Communication Arrangements to create a communication arrangements for each of the following scenarios:
