Doubts about BP number in SRM and SUS

Question

Hello everyone,
I have some doubts about the BP number, especially for Vendors.
I am working with the implementation of SRM 5.0 with SUS in an extended classic scenario. We will use one server for SRM and other for SUS. We will use the self registration for vendor (in SUS). My questions are:
- Can I have the same BP number in SRM and SUS?? Or is it going to be different??
- When a vendor accesses at the site to make a self registration in SUS, the information is sent to SRM as prospect (by XI) and there the prospect is changed as vendor? After that, is it necessary to send something from SRM to SUS again? (to change the prospect to vendor)
- When is it necessary to replicate vendors from SRM to SUS??
Thanks
Ivá

Dear Ivan,
Here is answer to all your questions. Follow these steps for ROS configuration:
Pls note:
1. No need to have seperate clients for ROS and SUS. Create two clients for EBP and (SUS+ROS).
2. No need of XI to transfer new registered vendor from ROS to EBP
Steps to configure scenario:
1. Make entries in SPRO --> "Define backend system" on both clients.
    You will ahev specify logical systems of both the clients (ROS as well as EBP)
2. Create RFCs on both clients to communicate with each other
3. In ROS client create Service User for supplier registration service with roles:
    SAP_EC_BBP_CREATEUSER
    SAP_EC_BBP_CREATEVENDOR
    Grant u201CS_A.SCONu201D profile to the user.
4. Maintain service user in u201CLogon Datau201D tab of service : ros_self_reg in ROS client
5. Create Purchasing and vendor Organizational Structure in EBP client and maintain necessary
    attributes. create vendor org structure in ROS client
6. Create your ROS registration questionnaires and assign to product categories- in ROS client
7. To transfer suppliers from registration system to EBP/Bidding system, Supplier pre-screening has to be
    defined as supplier directory in SRM server - EBP client.
    Maintain your prescreen catalog in IMG --> Supplier Relationship Management u2192 SRM Server u2192
    Master Data u2192 Define External Web Services (Catalogs, Vendor Lists etc.) 
8. Maintain this catalog Id in purchasing org structure under attribure "CAT" - in EBP client
9. Modify purchaser role in EBP client:
    Open node for u201CROS_PRESCREENu201D and maintain parameter "sap-client" and ROS client number
10.Maintain organizational data in make settings for business partner
Supplier Relationship Management -> Supplier Self-Services -> Master Data -> Make Settings for the Business Partners. This information is actually getting getting stored in table BBP_MARKETP_INFO.
11. Using manage Business partner node with purchasers login (BBPMAININT), newly registsred vendors are pulled from Pre-screen catalog and BP is created in EBP client. If you you have SUS scenario, ensure to maintain "portal vendor" role here.
I hope this clarifies all your doubts.
Pls reward points for helpful answers
