Customized MAP on the S/4 HANA Embedded TM

Many map providers supply their own freely to display map within SAP. They are having two requirements for displaying the maps within the SAP such as quad key interface and REST web service.


Pre-requisties

You must have to activate the business function FND_VISUAL_BUSINESS.


SAP Visual Business License

SAP Visual Business License

How to Set-up?

It has four parts of structured components such as Geocoding Service, MAP Product, MAP Layer Stacks, Applications.


IMG Path

You can found the IMG path to set it up as below.

IMG > Transportation Management > Basic Functions > Geographical Map > Visual Business

System has the default value as no map that is licensed for productive usage. You have to purchase a map license or use the free open map from the provider directly from a map provider.


Geocoding Service

You have to register a Geocoding service provider as below. Now I have been set it up as Here.

Here - Geocoding Service

Map Product

Map product ID indicates a configuration identifier that can be used for several objects such as map products. They have the detail informations such as descriptions of map and the level of detail. That is a measure for the details of the map which usually relates to a certain zoom level. You can maintain the URL for the map service you want to use. Map data is expected as tiles.

Map Server

Map Layer Stacks

A map layer stack describes what is actually displayed as map. It has a unique ID and a description. It allows stacking multiple layers such as below.

  1. One Layer: Map and label information are to be combined and displayed in the same image.

  2. Two Layers: Map and labels are requested separately and displayed as two layers on top of each other. 

The layers are combined in the given sequence, whereas the first layer lies on the bottom and each succeeding layer will be painted on top of the prior one. Depending on the use-case you can increase or decrease the opacity of succeeding layers, if they are opaque by nature. Further you can specify the background color for transparent parts.


Map Layer Stacks

Applications

Finally, you need to assign one or more map layer stacks to an application. If more than one is assigned it can be. That means you have to mark one of them as default to use.
