Central Contract, MDM Catalog, and classic scenario

Dear SAP experts,
We are in SRM 7.01 with backend ECC 6.05 deploying classic scenario. We are using Central Contract Management in which we negotiate contract in SRM and later distribute it to ECC. We also plan to use SRM-MDM Catalog.
We notice that if we are using classic scenaro, the contract that is used as reference is the contract number in ECC (the one distributed from SRM). So at first we assume that if we want to push the contract data to MDM, we should have pushed the ECC Contract number. However we find out that actually SAP block the ECC Contract coming as distribution from SRM to go to MDM.
Our second option is to use distribution of contract from SRM to catalog. It does using SRM contract number. We create SC and then we pull the catalog item from the catalog (which contain SRM contract number) and then we order. However we end up with 'error in process' in which the system try to create a PR instead in the ECC (meaning that the contract number cannot be read).
We're puzzled with this. How can we use the combination of central contract, MDM catalog and classic scenario? Can we use the combination?
Best regards,
John

If you want the contracts to be in SRM and do not want them to send to Backend, then check this out.
Create a Vendor list for those items in SRM by assigning the local contracts to the vendors.Activate Vendor list for sourcing.
Then local contract data should pick as SOS from the vendor list.
If you can create contracts in Backend for stock material then SC would pick the backend contract as SOS in classic scenario.
Let me know if the above works or not.

  • Local contract and classic scenario

    Hi all
    A question regarding contracts - and interpretation...
    On help.sap.com the following is stated:
    <i>SAP Enterprise Buyer, as the central purchasing system, saves the contract data and uses it for local purchase orders and purchase orders of the extended classic scenario.</i>
    I interpret this as, if one is using the classic scenario it's not possible to operate with local contracts in the SRM system. Can anyone confirm this?
    And if so - any workarounds?
    Our dilemma is that we have an extended classic scenario. Some materials are stock materials, and for these materials we are using a BAdi to switch off the extended classic scenario. No contract data is now added to the shopping cart, which I think is due to the classic scenario.
    Thanks for your help in advance

  • Partial quantity of Material in Extended and Classic Scenarios

    Does it possible to pass partial quantity of Material into Extended and Classic Scenario ;for instance we have 100 qty  for a material & out of them 60 qty goes to Extended PO and 40 qty goes to Classic in backend system .
    If yes so how & what criteria would be ?

    Hi Lalit,
    Until now we did not use both classic and extended classic for one organization.
    Are you using that or you just have a doubt??

  • SRM-MDM-Catalog and  XI using HTTP

    I need to do a integration between SRM 5 and SRM-MDM-Catalog using XI.
    I imported the SRM-MDM-Catalog packages into the XI and I saw that all connections with MDM are using FTP in the comunnication channel template.
    Is it possible to do connections for MDM using http or soap?

    As far as I know using Files is how XI interacts with MDM. All scenarios I have seen on SDN have been with File adapter being used on MDM 's side.
    Maybe there is a way , am watching this thread as well.

  • Customizing for extended and classic scenarios

    Hi,
    I know what is the difference between classic and extended classic scenarios.
    But i want to know what is the difference in the customizing.
    I understand that there is a badi that decides on the product categories and also there is a customizing for assigning product categories to back end systems.
    I want to know what is the significance of this customizing?

    Hi Abaper
    in spro
    activate extended classic scenario determines the technical scenario as ECS.
    and your PO created in SRM system so it is a leading system in SRM.
    your PO messages are created in SRM and sent it suppliers from here not from ECC.
    all PO transaction type must be defined in SRM system.
    you can go EBP_SUS scenario if customer interested.
    like many..
    Here in ECS , you can use local contracts....

  • Limit SC and Classic scenario

    Hi Guru's,
    Just want to clarify if it's possible to create limit SC and directly createa BE limit PO without using Ext. Classic Scenario?
    Thanks in advance,
    Thomas

    Hi Michael,
    We are currently using a SRM 4.0 and we do NOT use ECS.
    My problem is that we normaly only give access to BBPSC02 to our users and I do not see the limit position here.
    Another thig is that when I create a limit position,the PO is not created because the sloc is missing.
    We use the new BAPI_CREATE1 to create the POin BE.

  • Central Contract Management in case of Classic Scenario

    Hi,
    At our current implementation, requirement is to implement both Service procurement(with hierarchy) and Central Conract Management. I was exploring the possibility of utilizing Central Contract Management with Classic scenario.
    Will the Central Contracts created in this fashion be available in Sourcing Cockpit for the buyer to select against Purchase Requisitions? Will the Central Contract be visible at all in SRM in this case ?
    Please respond only with reference to Classic scenario.
    Thanks,
    Abhilash

    Yes the Central Contract will be available in the Sourcing Cockpit, both local and classic scenario's. Yes the Central Contracts will be available for the creation of Purchase Requisitions in R/3 and to assign SOS in R/3.
    Do know that for SRM 7.0 PI is required for setting up Central Contracts. This is promised to change with the release of EHP1 for SRM (due june 2010).
    Kind regards,

  • Extended Classic Scenario Pricing issue, can I over come by using SRM-MDM?.

    Hi SRM GURU'S,
    I am using  ECC 6.0, SRM 5.5, SUS, LAC, cFolders and SRM-MDM with Extended Classic Scenario.
    My Question is : In case of Extended classic scenario, there is issue with Pricing and conditions. Is there any possibility to overcome this issue by using SRM-MDM. Or do I have to go for IPC. My client has not brought IPC. I have to cover Pricing with the above components.
    Anyone suggest me, how to proceed.  Thanks in Advance. Awaiting for quick response.
    Thanks & Regards,
    John.

    Hi Masa,
    We can maintain Price and conditions as a record in CCM for Particular Material or Vendor. When you add that record to shopping cart it will update. I mean, If the provision is available in MDM, I don't want to use the Two components for same functionality.
    If I use IPC, Is there separate license for that. What else need to be updated to use IPC (Patches etc).
    If you have IPC configuration material, could you please share with me? How to bridge the SRM Conditions and ECC Conditions?
    Please clearly give me details.  I really appreciate you.
    Regards,
    John.

    1. SC creation
    2. SOCO
    3. RFX and Vendor Response
    4. Central contract in SRM and distributed to MM
    5. Release orders (PO) in MM with ref to Central COntract
    I have few Questions:
    1. What is the BSA attribute will be there in Classic
    2. Can we create initiate sourcing from SC in CLassic or every time we create SC, it will create PR in ECC.
    3. Can central contract be created locally in SRM and distributed in ECC (similar to Extended Classic)
    Appreciate any help in this regard
    IS

    I am not sure as I have to test this in system but i found this some where which needs to be checked.
    Section 3: Default Transaction Types
    If there are multiple transaction types determined, then the default entry in the transaction type dropdown box is set to 'space'. If there is only one entry found for the user then this will be displayed as the default entry in the dropdown box. Here is the code section where it happens: /SAPSRM/CL_CH_WD_DOM_SOCO_GAF3, /SAPSRM/IF_CLL_MAPPER~REFRESH:

  • Hardware Sizing for EBP, MDM Catalog

    Hi,
    This is for an SRM implementation project in extended classic scenario. The plan is to use all 3 components EBP, MDM Catalogs and SUS.
    We are sizing hardware for a mid size company with around 10,000 employee base and USD 350 million of spend to be processed. With not more than 50.000 (X) Purchase orders annually, and therefor assumed Goods confirmation document and invoices to be 100.000 (2X).
    We are using Quicksizer tool for sizing. Here are some of the areas which we need to validate-
    1. Is there a benchmark or a recommended or empirical percentage (%) of total employee strength that will be concurrent users.
    2. What can be the SAPS number range for EBP for a typical mid size company as described above. Any experience with respect to this would be helpful.
    3. Quicksizer doesnt suppoer MDM catalog sizing. Any inputs on the same would be useful.
    4. We are using EBP sizing template in quicksizer for SUS sizing with object data with respect to SUS. Is this the right approach.
    Thanks for the assistance in advance.

  • SRM 7 PPS Classic Scenario with Plan Driven Procurement?

    Hello experts,  I want to know if the combination of  SRM 7 PPS Classic Scenario with Plan Driven Procurement is possible? or if there any limitation to consider? Our client needs to create purchase requisition in ERP -> send this purchase requisitions to SRM (as shopping carts) create bids - > quotations  - > create contract from accepted quotations and then from the contract we need to create purchase order but this one must be created in ERP (classic scenario) Someone has experimented the same situation? Best regards and thanks for your Help.
    Liam

    Hi Lima ,
    Classic scenario wont support PPS .
            - Stand alone and classic scenario not supported
            - Shopping cart renamed to Purchase Requisition
            - Shopping cart generate (pre)commitment in funds management
            - Contract can create Funds Reservation (Earmarked Funds) in Funds Management as a Guarantee
            - Goods Receipt and Invoice created in ERP
            - Mixed PO: PO with lines that works like contract lines, a PO can be created from these lines
            - PO created from contracts or mixed-PO is named call-off PO. Only is a new name, is a "normal" SRM      PO
            - Goods receipt possible in SRM only in "easy" cases
    Thanks & Regards
