Creation of supplier id's in CCM 2.0

Question

Hi,
We are using SRM 5.0 and CCM 2.0 and R/3 4.7, we have around 50000
vendors in R/3 and we have to create supplier id's for all of them in
CCM 2.0
Please suggest if there is an automated approach to do the same,as it
is tedious to manually enter supplier data through CCM's browser
interface for even one vendor.
Revert back soon,

Hi,
I have never transferred all the suppliers to my CCM sys.
Instead i am using only one supplier business partner ID and using a new customer characteristic field and assigning all the supplier ID's to this new characteristic filed while uploading content.
If you have the supplier ID's in SRM you just have to upload the supplier ID's in your csv or xml file in CCM.
Map the content to the new customer characteristic field and then take off the OCI filed to supplier ID and assign it to new customer characteristic.
Do it to the vendor,master and Purchasing catalogs.
I think this will helps you and no need to replicate the supplier data to CCM.
