ECC 5.0 and CRM 7.0 Integration Questions

Question

Hello,
We are on ECC 5.0 and are part of a global implementation that is putting in CRM 7.0.
We have a couple of issues/questions.
1.  We want to integrate ECC Internal Orders with CRM Contracts and Orders.  However we don't see the ECC Internal Order type SAPS in ECC 5.0.  What release/plugin would give us SAPS Internal order type
2.  We currently use CS and PM in ECC, and we have equipment and func. locations.  Do we need to be on a certain version/plugin to integrate Equipment and Func. Locations with CRM iBase?
3.  Any tips/suggestions on integrating Vertex with CRM for taxes.
Thanks
chris

Hi
Here are the Answers
1. We want to integrate ECC Internal Orders with CRM Contracts and Orders. However we don't see the ECC Internal Order type SAPS in ECC 5.0. What release/plugin would give us SAPS Internal order type
- This is release indepedant- It is been available from R/3 4.7 so you should have it, if you dont have an SAPS order type, you have 2 options
          1. Create your own SAPS Order type
          2. Define RFC from  Client "000" and push the order type. This must be available in "000" as a standard delivery, may be your Basis did not move the order types properly.
2. We currently use CS and PM in ECC, and we have equipment and func. locations. Do we need to be on a certain version/plugin to integrate Equipment and Func. Locations with CRM iBase?
Yes you can have the equipment and Functional Locations, but for FLocs to download to CRM you need ECC6.0 with Sp6 anything below cannot be integrated or downloaded with CRM7.0 .. for Equipments any versions are fine and you do all configuration and customization in CRM
3. Any tips/suggestions on integrating Vertex with CRM for taxes.
Its a broad question, SAP provides standard integration option to vertex, and you integrate as needed..
let me know if you need anything else.
