How far can I go with NCO3 in .net4

Hi All,

I have been having a play with NCO3 in .net 4 & been impressed with the functionality I have found with my very basic first project.

What I would like to know are the following:

Can ALL areas of our ERP be reached with NCO? i.e. FI/CO/HR
Is there a resource of example projects anywhere
Will NCO work in new versions of Visual Studio, i.e VS 11

I am looking at a project to bring order creation out in NCO using POcreate - is this likely to be a huge piece of work & is it realistically achievable to have a fully blown ordering module built out of NCO.

Many thanks

I agree that NCo is quite a boon to productivity.

Yes. Any area that you can write a remote-enabled function module for can be reached from the outside. Likewise, you can access .NET services from inside SAP as well via RFC channel from any area within SAP.
There are samples, but they are not plentiful. The main documents most people seem to reference are the Spotlight blog posting and the Overview PDF.
Yes, it will work fine in Visual Studio 11.
Your goal of creating an ordering module is quite achievable. BAPI_PO_CREATE is ready for your use.

Thank you - that is really helpful.

Am I right in thinking that BAPI_PO_CREATE will create a PO and return back the PO number - Everything else I want to do in that module such as vendor lookups, Gl lookups etc will need to be handled through additional FM/BAPI/BADI's?

  Remove "BAdI" from that list, but yes. It's best to write your own Z-function module that pulls double or triple duty to minimize trips back and forth.
