Dependencies for an upgrade from SRM 4.0 to SRM 7.0

We have a Client situation - upgrade from SRM 4.0 to SRM 7.0 - they have SAP EP 6.2 and 4.7E backend system.
Now, the questions are -
1. Is it mandatory to upgrade to SAP EP 7.01 (Netweaver 2004s) or will SRM 7.0 work with SAP EP 6.2?
2. It appears SRM 7.0 will work with SAP 4.7E, however, will self-service procurement, sourcing cockpit functionality work okay and integrate with SAP 4.7E without any issues?
An early response is highly appreciated.
SNR

Hi SNR
For your first question please refer to the following link as well as the SRM 7.0 release notes:
https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SRM/SRMRelatedComponentsperSP+Stack
If you check the EP 6.2 is no longer supported by SRM 5 releases onwards
Based on this information, the SRM 7.0 should not work with EP 6.2
For your Second Question:
It seems to be no restrictions in use Backend 4.7E. You can define it in the SPRO as backend destination / sys type(BBP_BACKEND_DEST table SYS_TYPE = R/3_4.70)
As additional information please kindly refer to the SRM 7.0 Instalation Guides. It can be found in the Service Marketplace
service.sap.com/srm-inst
-> SRM 7.0
There you will find a lot information about installation / upgrade from prior SRM releases
I hope this information helps!

From SRM 5.0 to SRM 6.0 or SRM 7.0

Hi,
Is there any real business benefit in upgrading to SRM 6.0 from 5.0 or should one wait for SRM 7.0 instead?
If you're currently running SRM 5.0, extended classic using MDM 2.0 what can 6.0 provide to justify the cost of the upgrade?
Regards,
Jerry

Hi Jerry,
It is better to wait for SRM 7.0.SAP accepted that SRM5.0 has edge over SRM 6.0.
Please read SAP Published news on SRM 6.0.

Here is the latest update from SAP regarding SRM 6.0 and future releases.----
Oct 15, 2007
Dear Customer and or Partner
This communication is designed to help you understand our planned next steps with the release of SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) 2007.
Summary
SAP is moving ahead with our Business Suite strategy which SRM is a key component. This strategy requires significant development, coordination and resources. As a result we have had to make a decision on balancing our continued investment in SRM 2007 against the importance of SRM 7.0 included as part of the Business Suite release.
After reviewing all potential options we have decided that the best path forward is for the SRM 2007 release to only be shipped to customers that have already been identified as part of our SRM 2007 Ramp-Up program.
We are therefore advising all other customers to start any new projects on the proven SRM 2005 release and then to upgrade to a future version of SRM. This next upgrade could be to SRM 7.0 included as part of the Business Suite release either as part of the SRM 7.0 Ramp-Up program or with general availability in 2009.
We strongly believe that our customers will benefit from the value proposition of SRM 7.0 included as part of the Business Suite release and the planned SRM investments into the overall procure to pay process.
Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) 2007
The SAP SRM 2007 release represents continued investment by SAP in SRM including improvements to the user interface and a new business rule framework (BRF).
We continue to make progress towards our SRM 2007 SP03 milestone in the areas of quality and performance. As a result we are on schedule to deliver SP03 on December 10th, 2007.
Yet, because of our decision to focus our efforts on the importance of delivering on SRM 7.0 included as part of the Business Suite release we have decided that SRM 2007 will only be shipped to customers that have already been identified as part of our SRM 2007 Ramp-Up program. We will fully support these customers efforts to go live on SRM 2007.
A core KPI of our SRM 2007 Ramp-Up program continues to be the importance of successful customers on the release coupled with our own field readiness.
Only in extremely exceptional cases will requests be accepted for additional customers to be included in the SRM 2007 Ramp-Up program.
Supporting Information
Customers with existing SRM 2007 Projects These customers will receive maintenance on SRM 2007 according to the 5-1-2 framework.
New Customers Recommend that customers interested in starting projects now should start their projects on the proven SRM 2005 release. Those customers that have a project start date beginning in Q42008 should target SRM 7.0 which is included as part of the Business Suite release either as part of the SRM 7.0 Ramp-Up program or with general availability in 2009.
SRM 3.0 and Below Customers Recommend that customers on versions up to and including SRM 3.0 interested in upgrading to start any new projects on the proven SRM 2005 release and then to upgrade to a future version of SRM. This next upgrade could be to SRM 7.0 included as part of the Business Suite release either as part of the SRM 7.0 Ramp-Up program or with general
availability in 2009.
SRM 4.0 Recommend that SRM 4.0 customers upgrading to start any new projects on the proven SRM 2005 release and then to upgrade to a future version of SRM. This next upgrade could be to SRM 7.0 included as part of the Business Suite release either as part of the SRM 7.0 Ramp-Up program or with general availability in 2009.
SRM 2005 Customers Recommend that SRM 2005 customers take the next step to upgrade to a future version of SRM based on their planned upgrade project schedule. This next upgrade could be to SRM 7.0 included as part of the Business Suite release either as part of the SRM 7.0 Ramp-Up program or with general availability in 2009.

SRM - Problem with a SRM Order with text position

Hello,
I produced an order requisition from SRM. (Document Type EC / Field Sel.Key NBB) Unfortunately I cannot change the category of commodities during this order requisition over the transaction ME52N. This must be however possible. The appropriate Field Sel.Key NBB is correctly adjusted.
The problem apparently lies in SRM. With normal SRM orders in the R/3 an order is put on. The category of commodities may not be changed then no more.
With SRM orders with text positions a order requisition is to be put on in the R/3. Functions also. The category of commodities is not also here alterable only unfortunately. That must function however.
My question: How can one change the data of the order requisition with text orders over SRM?
Regards
J.V.

hi J.v
you can make new request rather than changing the purchase request since material group in important data.
why you want to edit the PR and again trying to edit the data in sc created from pr.
I recommend you to create a new PR for your request.
since
eprofile offered sap ecc according to your material grp / purchase group combination inthe eban table (eprofile field).
but why you are trying to edit the same pr in the backend method(it is no.2 activity in sap - not supposed to do right)
if you dont want that request cancel the sc (complete it).
hope now you understood.

Upgade SRM 4.0 to SRM 5.0--- Changes in XI???

Hello all,
We have upgraded SRM 4.0 to SRM 5.0. The scenario is some messages will flow from SRM to R3 Via XI. (Self-Service Procurement, Plan-Driven Procurement, Strategic Sorucing, CCM, Service Procurement, etc)
With respect to XI, we have developed few objects in ID for SRM 4.0 itself and it was working fine previously. Now we have upgraded SRM 4.0 to SRM 5.0. I would like to know what are all the changes we need to do in XI with respect to this upgradation.
The following are the guide-lines given in the upgradation guide for SRM 5.0.

"If you have your own XI 3.0 content, you can reuse it for PI / SRM 5.0. See the Upgrade Guide SAP NetWeaver 2004s for this. If you have no PI content of your own, use the SRM PI content delivered with SRM 5.0."
Here, what does the XI3.0 Conent means? Since we have already developed the objects in XI, is it necessary to do any changes again? Or the previous itself is enough?
If we need to do changes in XI for SRM 5.0, what are all the changes we need to incorporate? and how?
Regards,
Prasad U

Hi Prasad,
I was looking for such informations a few month back,
Here, what does the XI3.0 Conent means
- I think its the IR , Repository objects.
Please refer to my thread and the replies by JIN SHIN,
SRM AND SAP XI
Some links that may indirectly help u,

This part i am not sure, but i think it supports backwards compability.Worst case you need to change the configuration.
Best of luck,

As you have already installed Java stack then it will be your EP. You don't need PI for SRM MDM.

The DBMS Server property defines the network identification string of the DBMS instance / machine / server that is used by the DBMSspecific client on the MDM Server machine to connect to the DBMS. The brand of DBMS on which the repository is running is shown in the DBMS Type property.
NOTE ►► When you mount two MDM repositories with the same name (but located on different DBMS Servers) on the same MDM Server, MDM distinguishes them in the Console Hierarchy pane by appending the name of the DBMS Server in angular brackets to the repository name (e.g. u201Crepository <server>u201D).

SRM 4.0 (with SRM Server 5.0) ---- XI 3.0-------R/3

Hello Friends
Iam also working in SRM. I want to integrate SRM and XI for sending a PO from SRM to third party system through XI. I already have a PO created in SRM and I want to send it through XI to Third party system and then want to create corresponding Sales Order in that system.
We are using SRM 4.0(with SRM Server5.0)and XI 3.0.
Thanks in Advance........

Hi Narayana!!
Treat SRM as another R/3 system and use the general flow logic. Create a Sender RFC to send the PO that you have created from SRM system using RFC sender adapter to XI.
Another way:
You can create a work flow which will trigger an IDOC once your PO is created and the IDOC will reach XI using ALE. You need to configure RFC destinations and partner Profiles etc.
Once your PO informations reaches XI you have to configure reciver adapter based on your third Party.
Lets say your third party system is a J2ee application or another R/3 system then you have to configure either a reciver http adapter or a Reciever RFC adapter.
I know this is quite generic......
Cheers!!

SRM User Settings in SRM 7 for Operational role

Hi! If I assign role /SAPSRM/OP_PURCHASER to a user in SRM (with Operational Purchaser portal role), I could not find the SRM User Settings function. If I use role /SAPSRM/EMPLOYEE (with Employee Self-Service portal role), the function appears under Home > Overview > Personalization. I checked the content content and could not see this function available for the Operational Purchaser portal role. Does that mean I have to add the Employee Self-Service portal role to the user if I want to allow them to use the SRM User Settings function? Is there another way to get to this function using the Operational Purchaser portal role?
Appreciate any clarification on the above.
Cheers!
SF
Edited by: SF on Jan 12, 2010 1:06 PM

You observation is correct and it is the standard design of such portal roles as SRM Administrator, SRM Strategic Purchaser, or SRM Operational Purchaser to not have "personalization", but only Employee Self Service role.

I bought Lightroom 3 or 4, can't remember which, as an online download. I then upgraded to 5 with a CD. I registered the upgrade on my Adobe account and that's where the serial number is. I just bought a new iMac and am trying to install Lightroom. The system is asking for my original serial number which I don't have. The point is. If I have the upgrade registered with my Adobe account, shouldn't that be proof that an earlier version was on my computer??? I'm really stuck. Need some advice! Thanks

Hi John,
Thanks for your response, but if you read my first mail, it's the original serial number that I don't have. I bought the original LR as download and have misplaced the serial number. Is there any way to find it???

My cd/dvd drive isn't working and i want to upgrade my mac os x10.5.8, how can i upgrade without the software CD

my cd/dvd drive isn't working and i want to upgrade my mac os x10.5.8, how can i upgrade without the software CD

I think not. You will need to order a disc from Apple quoting your serial number, as many of these discs are machine specific. So unless you can get your drive working I think you will have to take a trip to an Apple store.
Indeed, you have an old computer that may not be worth the cost of repair ... but it is still worth seeking Apple advice and a visual inspection. It just might be something not too drastic.

I upgraded to 10.6.8 and my imagecapture did not upgrade. Why? Do I have to buy a new verson? Where is the new version located?
Thanks. I cannot access the imagecapture from my builtin camera now. I have a MacBook-5 years old. Thanks.

OK. Here. This message is on the front-"NO camera or scanner connected." But when I wanted a picture in Facebook to use the camera the camera turned on and worked a-ok. Why?
I can't click on 'devices' or 'shared' because they are not live.
So what's going on?
Thanks.

R/3 upgrade from 4.7 to ECC 6.0 and BW upgrade from 3.5 to 7.0

Is there a reason to upgrade Solution Manager from 3.2 to 4.0 when upgrading R/3 from 4.7 to ECC 6.0 and BW upgrade from 3.5 to 7.0?
And when in current situation Unicode UTF8 is used, could that give problems during / after the upgrade?

Hello ALex,
There is not a must to upgrade also your solman 3.2 when you upgrade your satellites, only consider if you need the solman diagnostic or not and also that the new functionality in solman 4.0.
Which system is unicode, the satellite?
There is also not problems having a non-unicode solman with unicode satellites and the other, having a unicode-solman "linked" to unicode-satellites.
Hope this helps,
Dolores
