Basic Configuration of SUS

Question

Dear Experts,
We are in the process of setting up system for SUS with SRM 5.0. Need the following clariffications
1 We are in the process of using Classic scenario in SRM 5.0. Please suggest which method of SUS is preferred (MM-SUS or SRM-SUS) for classic Scenario.
2. Do we need to have separate Server for SUS. If we can configure in same server, then do we need to go for separate client? Please suggest us with useful links on start up documentation for SUS
Thank you,
Ravi.

Answer 1

in the case of classic scenarion --> following applies
1) when shopping cart is approved in classic scenario, local purchase order is not created --> so purchase order flow is not possible from SRM to SUS,
purchase order in such case has to be send from backend system  where classic scenario has created.
so flow happens from backend MM system to SUS system..
Hope it is clear... the scenario here....
2) following are the possibilities for SUS client
      a) client on different server
      b) different client on the same server...
3) there is no seperate documentation available specific for SUS , you have to use the following
      1) service procurement scenario guide --> if you want to connect SRM to SUS.
      2) plan driven procurement scenario guide --> if you want to connect MM to SUS.
4) apart from the SRM , SUS --> you also need to have XI system ( also known as process integration) , this is for the transfer of documents to happen correctly from one system to another
it is also used for mapping...
