Is EBP a component of SRM?

Dear experts:
I read some documents and I think that EBP (Enterprise Buyer Professional ) is a component of SRM.
Would you please help confirm ? Thanks!

Hi,
EBP terminology was used in old SRM version. It is now called SRM Server.
For component, please check the Software Component Matrix for SAP SRM 7.0

  • Need to understand impact on workflows during upgrade from EBP 3.0 to SRM 5

    Hello experts,
    Greetings to all and a Happy New Year!!
    I am new to the workflow concept, though i have a fair idea of EBP.
    We are using EBP 3.0, classic scenario.  Very soon, we would be upgrading from EBP 3.0 to SRM 5.0. I have a few questions which i need to knw before I take up the upgrade part:
    1) The impact on the worflows like Shopping cart approval, purchase contract approval etc when we upgrade from EBP 3.5 to SRM 5.0...
    2) Does EBP have their own release strategies or are the release strategies defined in R/3 and applied to the shopping cart when it is ordered in EBP? As in classic scenario, POs are created in R/3, then how does the appoval process happen?
    3) What are the necessary things, if any, that I should make sure of before upgrading?
    4) Does all workflows also get upgraded or is there any tool to upgrade the workflow?
    I am not clear with the approval concept in EBP. I know there are workflows that get triggered when a shopping cart is ordered but the approval process in this workflow is something which i want to understand. Please forward me a document, if possible, or a link will also do.
    Please let me know the necessary details.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Ayush

    Hi Ayush,
    Most workflows will be the same, but if you have modifications on these workflows' then i'd suggest reverting back to the standards for the upgrade.
    Im not quite sure what you mean about the release strategy. What can be done though, is creating Purchase Requisitions in the R/3 and pass them to the SRM system. From here PO's can be created and the approval process will take place in accordance with your workflow rules in tcode: swb_cond.
    Before upgrading, try to have the system as clean as possible. When i say clean, i mean make sure that users are consistent, SC's, PO's etc arent left hanging. Try to avoid carrying documents over to the new system. I'd suggest archiving anything you can too.
    I don't have any documents to give you but the basic process and transactions are as follows:
    SWB_COND: Your workflow start conditions. Which WF's are on/off (defined by green/red light)
    SWI6: This will let you examine a document and its relevant WF by its object id. (SC No, PO No etc..
    SWUD: Allows for Consistency checks on your workflow and will find any inconsistencies which are occuring. (Use Test Environment and WF Tech Name i.e 14500015)
    SWDD: The workflow builder, will let you build, activate, create new version and modify the worklows in your system.
    Approval itself is simply the chain of approval which a workflow is defined to follow. You need your managers to approve/reject and the conditions for which Managers should be called for approval. Its works from Possible Approvers for workitems and Excluded Approvers for workitems.
    Understanding the WF log is the most essential thing of all. The understanding of BADI is quite important too.
    Hope this info helps you. Check help.sap.com cause everything is documented there too!
    Cheers

  • Upgrade from EBP 4.0 to SRM 5.0

    Hi y'all,
    We are thinking about upgrading from our current EBP 4.0 to SRM 5.0. We are only using EBP for the self-service procurement scenario - with a classic integration towards two different R/3 4.6C systems. We have no internal catalogs and it is very much a standard set-up
    Has anyone had some <b>experiences to share?</b>
    Will it be a "large" or a "small" upgrade?
    Are there any watchouts or learnings?
    Many thanks in advance
    Thyge

    hello Thyge,
    you are running on EBP 4.0, i.e. SRM 3.0: Extension of mainstream maintenance was extended from end of June 2006 to end of December 2006, at no extra fee.
    Requisite 4.0 will be supported to end of December 2006 (refer to SAP Note 485884 for detailed information on Requisite).
    That means that, excpet if you go in a custom support contract with SAP, your system will not be supported at end of 2006.
    So you must "be prepared" and do this upgrade in 2006 !!!
    If you don't use new features, have only 20 users, and a nearly standard SRM, you upgrade efforts will be really light:
    - technical upgrade (attention: new Oracle version required) Unicode version ?
    - nearly no custom dev alignement
    - light re-training
    The main workload would be the migration from Requisite to SAP CCM 2.0 (if you choose this option), depending on your actual content management strategy.
    I think a 3 months upgrade project will be the correct duration for you.

  • How can I determine the feeder class for a WebDynpro component in SRM 7.0?

    Hi experts.
    I am trying to figure out how to add some columns to the list of contract items for this WebDynpro application/view:
    Applikation: /SAPSRM/WDA_L_FPM_OIF
    Web Dynpro-komponent: /SAPSRM/WDC_CTR_DOTC_IT
    Window: IV_L_FPC_CA_TREE
    View: V_CTR_DODC_ITEMS
    Configuration-ID: /SAPSRM/WDCC_FPM_CTR_DOTC_ITM
    All the documentation I can find regarding the FPM says to change the feeder class, but nowhere I have seen do they explain how to determine the feeder class of an existing component/view.
    I am hoping for your help!
    Thanks!
    Best regards
    Per Hjorth Christiansen

    The term "feeder class" normally refers to the POWL search, not the actual document detail screen. You could just add one more column by enhancing the webdynpro view.

  • EBP - SRM

    Hi experts,
    I  am new to SRM Just started looking Help document. I have a basic doubt in SRM.Actually in help they said.
    mySAP SRM is based on the following components:
            SAP Bidding Engine
            SAP Business Information Warehouse
            SAP Enterprise Buyer
            SAP Exchange Infrastructure
            Supplier Self-Services
            SAP Catalog Content Management
            SAP Enterprise Portal
    I want to know does SRM server is called as SAP Enterprise Buyer or does it have a seperate server for SRM and it further interact with SAP Enterprise Buyer?
    Rajesh

    Hi
    SAP Enterprise Buyer is the e-Procurement component of SRM suite. It is the mandatory central component. Remaining components can be activated or installed depending upon the requirements.
    According to terminology, till SRM 3.0 version, it is tied to CRM suite. In this version central component (SAP enterprise buyer) is called as BBPCRM4.0(Logical name given to the EBP central component. You can check this in Tx SAINT)
    From SRM4.0, SRM has its own relevant middleware structure (still same as CRM middleware). So once you have SRM4.0, you wont see any CRM structure in SPRO. SAP Enterprse buyer is termed as SRM Server 5.0 (logical name) for this.
    lly, for SRM5.0 suite, SAP enterprise buyer is SRM server 5.5.

  • Requirements for SRM 2007 (EBP:E-Procurement)?

    Hi Guys,
    I recently was scheduled to implement the latest release of SRM/E-Procurement to our ERP6.0 Landscape.
    Unfortunately, I am pretty new to this topic and everything I know is that the latest release is SRM2007.
    Could anybody tell me what exactly needs to be installed?
    What packages?
    As far as I know, EBP is included into SRM. But is it enough to just install SRM or do I need any additons to run EBP (E-Procurement).
    The underlying system is/will be SAP ECC 6.0.
    I am really looking forward to your answers
    yours
    Erik
    Edited by: Erik Nagler on May 27, 2008 1:50 PM

    SRM 2007 (SRM 6.0 )is still not avilable for general release and ongoing for ramp-up customers only.
    The release was due this year but delayed.

  • Logical Component Assignment : Use '_' as a separator

    Hi experts,
    I can not assign a system to a logical component in SMSY.
    I tried to assign an SRM 7 system to logical component : "SAP SRM EBP-SRM SERVER" and then I get error message : "Use '_' as a separator".
    Any idea to sort this out?
    Where could I manage logical component name?
    Many thanks in advance.

    Hello there,
    Does the logical component you mention have any systems already assigned? I would guess that it doesn't and that it is one of the logical components already present when Solution Manager is installed.
    Have you tried creating a new logical component?

  • SRM -SUS

    HI,
    Iam working on SRM 5.0 and Bi 7.0,
    We implemented SUS in SRM and Getting Po's from R/3 to SRMm, so the thing is we Dint implememt EBP in SRM.
    Now i want to Implement the same in BI system, Sap has few dats ources given for SRM,But unable to load them to BI as because EBP is required and Without EBP the data sources defined By SAP are not Compatable to Just SUS scenario..
    i just want to Know is there anyone who had implemented SRM-SUS(Only Sus without EBP as we did ) and BW.
    Can anyone guide me are let me know how the configuration took place..
    Appropriate solution will be heavily rewarded.
    Bye,
    JSK.

    Hello,
    SUS is an add on software component for SRM.
    e.g. For SRM server 5.5 SUS 3.0 is installed.
    When SUS is required you need XI to be also installed.
    Because for EBP , SUS becomes external system and you need to send messages in XML format only which is job of XI.
    SUS is basically meant for external business partners i.e.suppliers
    with SUS in picture ,the same can be used for supplier users creation , PO/SA confirmation, sending ASN shipping notification, Send invoices.
    So basically used for supplier collabration.
    I will send you some matl on yr ID.

    Now i need to add one send action and this send action is present in the SWC SRM SERVER IC 7.0.
    I had downloaded the SRM SERVER IC 7.0 content already and I'm able to see in Integration Repository also.

  • Will MM-SUS scenario work perfectly if we replicate SUS vendors from SRM

    Dear Gurus'
    We are going to use MM-SUS scenario in our classic implementation of SAP SRM. However, we are not replicating the SUS vendors directly from MM system using BD14.
    Instead, we are replicating the SUS vendors from SRM system by ticking the 'Portal Vendor' check box in SAP SRM.
    Will all MM-SUS scenario work perfectly in such cases? If I refer the configuration of MM-SUS scenario, it mentions about special configuration for transferring the confirmation key from ECC vendor master data to SUS system. How it will be taken care in SRM-SUS vendor replication?
    Could you please share your experience?
    Thanks and regards,

    hi,
    Are the Suppliers getting Time Out Errors?
    are they able to create the documents ?
    I have seen these sort of problems in many customers , there is one performance note created by SAP to resolve this issue.
    I do not have the note number now.
    But you can search the same with keyword performance along with the component areas
    SRM-SUS
    ans SRM-EBP-TEC-PFM.
    Best would be to enquire with SAP also..

  • SRM, ROS and SUS scenario question

    Hello Experts,
    We are in the process of implementing MDM, ROS, EBP and SUS scenario in our present project. I went through the documentation. I have couple of questions.
    1. Do we need to have seperate clients for ROS and SUS. What is the best practise.
    2. Since we have SUS, once I transfer BP from ROS to EBP, check the portal vendor box, I would like to know how the registration code will be sent to supplier. Do we need to create the userid in EBP or with the receipt of registration code supplier will be able to create his first initial userid? Also how we can implement this with CUA and EP as part of landscape?
    3. Also since we have MDM, how the new BP information can be migrated or mapped in MDM and how new BP can be sent to backend system? I understand there is BP monitor to check and approve the changes, but how the new BP will be transferred? Do we need to develop new XI message for this? if Yes, from where that can be managed? from EBP or MDM?.
    I searched through help.sap.com for any documentation but no success.
    Thanks in advance
    Vijay.

    Hi,
    1.Refer the foll thread:
    Re: Supplier Registration without SUS or XI?
    2.For supplier registration,SUS is not mandatory.You need to configure ROS for this scenario.The extrenal vendors will register in ROS and then be replicated to R/3.
    You can use EBP only for Supplier registration.
    SUS,ROS and Bidding engine make up the SRM server 5.5/EBP component of SRM 5.0.
    Pls refer the foll link for the complete process:
    http://www50.sap.com/businessmaps/8F152C1AE8F1426FA3B442F905815F54.htm

  • Bidding Engine / Cfolders available after SRM 5.0 upgrade??

    Hi Experts
    Recently we upgraded from EBP 3.5 to SRM 5.0(SRM Server 5.5), we only have the ABAP stack & no Java stack.Our users have suggested to use the "bidding engine" & Cfolders, so what I want to know is
    a) Is bidding Engine / Cfolders installed by default during the SRM 5.0 upgrade?.
    b) Is Bidding Engine part of Live Auction Cockpit(LAC) & we need to install the LAC separately?.
    c) Do I need to install the Java stack for the bidding engine & cfolders?.
    An early reply will be much appreciated & useful replies will be rewarded with points.
    Thanks & Rgds,
    Abhishek

    Hi Abhishek,
    a. Bidding Engine is part of SRM server and there for use when SRM Server is installed. You are ready to go, customize and use. cFolders are part of cProject Suite and need to be extra installed.
    b. LAC is an own component supporting the auction and need to be extra installed. This is also Java based, why you need the Java Stack here.
    c. no, Bidding Engine and cFolders are both abap based.
    Kind regards,
    Clauda
