Automatic multi backend vendor partial replication

Question

Dear all,
we have a question around Vendor Replication:
Here is the scenario.
We are SRM 4.0 in Classic Scenario.
We have a Multi-Backend environment.
In addition we have a another R/3 serving as Central Vendor database (not MDM).
There the common vendors are created in a central (specific) number range but with minimal Purch Organization assignments.
Then the vendors are replicated to backends in a pull mode (via ALE).
Then there the additonal Purch Organisations are defined locally in the local Backends.
Then for SRM we want to replicate replicate same vendor for all BG's to be sure to have the correct Purchasing Organization assignments.  And we want to have also all the vendors created in that range in SRM to give list of available vendors as preferred vendors to the requisitioners
However we don't want to replicate the local vendors that are Backend specific and are in another nr range.
To do all that we have available the transactions BBPGETVD and BBPUPDVD and the program BBP_VENDOR_SYNC.
The problem is:
a) BBPGETVD and BBPUPDVD have vendor nr selection but can not be set in a job.
b) BBP_VENDOR_SYNC is possible in a job but has no vendor selection and not choice only update or also new per system.
How can we achieve our goal?
Thanks
RD

Hi Sadasivam,
Make Global Settings
Use
In Customizing for vendor synchronization, you define between which mySAP or ERP backend systems and the EBP System you wish to automatically synchronize the vendor master data. This setting is necessary in order to start a job-based execution of the synchronization, so that the vendor master data that is newly created or changed in the backend is updated regularly in the EBP System.
Requirements
You wish to use the automatic vendor synchronization functionality.
In the Implementation Guide (IMG) activity Define RFC Destinations, you have defined the RFC destinations for your systems.
Under Define Backend Systems, you have defined the backend systems for your systems.
Activities
Customizing for Vendor Synchronization consists of two parts. In the first part you make those settings that are valid for all backend systems. In the activity Make Settings for Each Backend System you can define or display detail data for the individual backend systems.
Make Global Settings
By setting the indicator Create New Vendors Also, you can determine that those vendors newly created in the backend systems are also newly created during the synchronization. If this indicator is not set, the only data updated is that of the vendors in the Enterprise Buyer System whose data was changed in the backend systems.
Note:
If you have not yet made an entry here, an empty screen appears when you start the activity. To make the settings, choose New entries or press F5.
Further Settings:
Carry Out Address Check for Duplicates :
Organizational Unit in EBP for the Vendor
Enter the eight-digit number, for example, 50001234.
Vendor Number Assignment Type
In the dropdown box, choose the method with which the number is to be allocated when a new vendor is created, for example, internal number allocation.
Hope this makes you more clear. My mail i.d is [email protected]
