SAP Action - Send IDoc (Advanced)

PRIVATE BETA

This action is in private beta and available only in OPA v28.1 and later. Private beta features are available in production but only to selected customers. Customers must opt in and be accepted into the beta.

During the private beta, Workato may update its functionality or change its availability without prior notice.

This action is not linked to a program ID, meaning it is designed to support expected SAP behavior and address advanced use cases.

This action allows you to send IDoc to an on-premise SAP system or a SAP system on a server behind the corporate firewall. You must configure IDocs in your SAP system before using this action. This action removes the need for dummy configurations that were previously required for the Send IDoc action.
