Is SRM 6.0 (SRM 2007) released for non-ramp up customers?

Hi Guys,
Anyone knows if SRM 6.0 is now available on the market for non-ramp up customers? If not any ideas when it will be ready?
Thanks

Hi,
In adition to this dates, here is the official letter :
"PUBLIC Information about SRM 6.0
This note is intended to help the SAP field answer customer inquiries concerning the delayed shipment of SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) release 6.0.
Reasons for the delay
SAP SRM 6.0 is a big step forward for SRM: SRM 6.0 is the first SAP software to rely on the new user interface technology WebDynpro and the Web Application Server, rather than the previous ITS. It is also based on the completely new business rule framework (BRF) to define approval workflows. These changes are intended to improve usability and simplify workflow administration / customization, leading to better acceptance and lower TCO for our customers. However, the move to these new technologies is also a complex change and as a result, the product has experienced delays.
With our most recent development milestone - service pack 2 in mid-July 2007 - we have made lots of progress towards completion; however, we estimated that the product was still not yet ready for Ramp-Up. As a result, we decided to release the product only in beta shipment and to a very limited set of customers (14 in total) who are being closely monitored by our development organization. Seven of these customers are actually planning to go live on the current beta shipment.
Based on the progress made so far with Service Pack 2, we feel that we should be able to start the official Ramp-Up process on December 10th, 2007 - the target ship date for Service Pack 03. By that time, we should already have 3+ live customers, so new customers starting their projects will benefit from the experiences acquired from previous implementations.
Time plan and Recommendations
1. Ideally, we recommend that new and upgrade SRM customers wait for the start of Ramp-Up for SRM 6.0 SP03 (Dec 10th, 2007) rather than starting a project with the previous release SRM 5.0. SRM 6.0 offers many benefits compared to SRM 5.0 and should be easier to use + maintain. An Online scoping questionnaire will be available from mid October in the SAP Service Marketplace as usual.
2. The number of Beta shipment customers is strictly limited and therefore we do not intend to ship Service Pack 2 to any additional customers besides the 14 customers currently in Beta.
3. Implementation partners can request a demo license of the current support package 2 in the partner portal. They can set up their sandbox systems and familiarize with the new technology upfront before they enter into customer projects from Dec. 10.
Should you have any further questions please contact your local SAP account executive
Kind regards,
Yann

EPSON Scanner driver 3.03 (June 2007 release) for 4870

This is just a quick FYI for anyone unfortunate enough to have to reinstall there epson scanner drivers. Recently my epson 4870 scanner stopped working with my computer, tried all the usual stuff, permissions, restarting, unplugging other stuff etc. to no avail. So I phoned epson support.
They asked me to delete several epson related files in various folders - some files that I was asked to delete could not be found in the folders they asked me to look in. I pointed out that the driver software had an uninstall option, they said this wouldn't remove all the files.
We emptied the trash, installed the new 3.03 software and restarted, plugging things back in, repairing permissions etc. It still didn't work, I pointed out that 'epson scanner monitor' was no longer in the applications folder - I was told this wasn't required.
Curiously, in the apple system profiler under firewire the scanner seems to be shown as the letter 'G' manufacturer as just 'E' which I thought was strange. If I plug in using a USB cable it will display correctly under the USB list.
To cut a long story short, we spent over an hour going over and over this process, changing firewire cables, trying different ports, redownloading software and in the end I was told to contact apple as it had to be a problem with my machine (and also as it wasn't a PC he couldn't help any further).
I managed to dig out the original installer disk (epson scan, vers 2.0) that came with the machine several years ago, deleted previous files and reinstalled from that. It worked straight away, although I'm anticipating a few problems as this is so out of date.
I wondered if anyone has had similar problems and had managed to find a better solution.

I had a similar experience with the immediately previous version of EpsonScan, so I downloaded and installed 3.0.3 and things got worse. I then unplugged the scanner, uninstalled and reinstalled 3.0.3, thus far it is working. I hope it is not as buggy as 3.0.2

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

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.

Using XI Content for SRM 2007

Hi,
We are configuring a scenario for SRM which has following landscape
ECC <=> SAP PI <=> SRM
I am trying to use XI Content for SRM 7.0 and I have imported SAP SRM 7.0 Software component into ESR. But there are no Process Integration Scenarios which I can use to configure objects in Integration Directory using wizards. Also there are no IDoc imported in this SC and no mappings defined. Does that mean We have to create our own mappings? But this was not true when we used SRM 5.0 content.
I am not able to find any document which talks how to configure PI scenario using SRM 7.0 XI Content. Do let me know if there is any?
There is another thing which comes to my mind if SRM 7.0 XI Content is using web services instead of IDoc for communication with ECC system. If that is the case then i cannot find predefined proxy in ECC system and thus i have to create custom web service server proxy (where again i have to write custom code).
Do let me know if anybody has used XI Content SRM 2007. So that I can get some help on this.
Thanks,
Divyakumar

Hi Divya,
We have done with SRM 5.0 but not with SRM 7.0
When i see content for SRM 7.0 in Market Place i donot find , From where did u get download those XI content for SRM 7.0 ???
Did u find any Integration Scenarios depecting the flow , we used the same for the business flow.
Please do update how u have proceeded.
Thanks

Some questions on SRM 2007

Hi All
As per my earlier knowledge SRM 2007 ( EBP 6.0) is going to be released in Q4 2008.
I read some people referring to it as SRM 7.0.
1) Is this wrong or SAP has officially changed it to SRM 7.0.
2) What is the corresponding version for SUS ?
3) Is MDM an absolute must for SRM 2007 , or CCM is OK?
Regards
Kedar

Hello everyone,
I found this thread incredibly interesting. There are frequent questions coming from clients and internally about SRM 7.0. But there seems to be a lack of documentation (or at least itu2019s difficult to find). The last official memo from SAP I know of is nearly a year old (Oct 2007 https://websmp203.sap-ag.de/~sapdownload/011000358700001040832007E/SRM2007Communication.pdf). The release documentation (https://websmp208.sap-ag.de/releasestrategy) is dated Jan 2008, which states release November 2008.
In light of this have a couple of questions:
- Does anyone have (or know of) any documentation detailing the new functionality compared to SRM 5.0 (or SRM 4.0)?
- Does anyone know of any more recent official communication from SAP other than those mentioned above?
Any help gratefully received.

SRM and MDM for material master in SRM contracts for multiple R/3

Dear all,
my question is:
We are implementing SRM 4.0 in classic scenario with multiple R/3 back-end and we want to set-up Global Outline Agreements in SRM in a multi-backend environment where the Material Master are not harmonized.
We heard that MDM and COntent Integraton can be a solution.
Then detailled question is:
Can we have 2 material numbers (e.g. ABC and XYZ) in 2 different R/3 systems refering the same product.
Have the mapping done in MDM (Content Integrator?) to a third material number:123
Replicating the material master 123 to SRM from MDM(?)
Create global Outline Agreements in SRM for Material Master 123.
Distribute the GOA as Outline Agreement to R/3 system 1 with the translation to ABC and to R/3 system 2 with the translation XYZ, all of that during the distribution step (or another).
Have the call-offs quantities correct on 123 in SRM and BW?
IF yes, how is it working, do you have some documentation discribing the scenario and the config steps to do?
Thanks in avance

Hello RD,
That's a good question.
You are on the right way. MDM is the tool for you.
But..
Content Integrator (CI) was first developped for Shell, to address the need of cross-referencing of material/supplier/category IDs, for:
- reporting purpose (actual Spend Analysis)
- mapping purpose (send of XML PO)
CI was later "fusionned" into the new MDM (1.0) solution.
So now, you can not order CI without MDM (even if some SRM slides still present CI).
But mapping API where developped for all inboud/outbound interfaces in SRM, for materials only (good luck for you).
You will find everywhere this piece of code:
Call ECI
    CALL FUNCTION 'BBP_PRODUCT_MAP'
      TABLES
        it_input          = lt_mapping_in
        et_output         = lt_mapping_out
      EXCEPTIONS
        logsys_not_found = 1
        driver_not_found = 2
        product_not_found = 3
        internal_error    = 4
        OTHERS            = 5.
So it is ok, you have the mapping call, but I don't know if all the rest of the process was really "finalized" (call of API mapping in CI, via XI). I personnaly never used it, but I assume it should work.
I my opinion your process is supported by SAP:
- Extract materials from both R/3 and consolidate them as a single product in MDM.
- Distribute this product into SRM.
- Maintain contracts on those products.
- Distribute them to R/3 (The ECI call is also used during contract distribution).
- Call offs corrects in SRM and BW
For MDM documentation, look at netweaver area of service.sap.com.
For MDM/SRM integration, look at SRM 4.0 spend analysis:
https://websmp206.sap-ag.de/~sapdownload/011000358700004424262004E/GlobalSpendOverview.ppt
For SRM contract distribution, call-offs, BW, look at SRM in details in service.sap.com/srm/SRM4.0:
https://websmp206.sap-ag.de/~sapdownload/011000358700001966382004E/contracten.ppt

PO Partial confirmation Quantity not updated for non-catalog items in SRM

Hi Experts,
Partial Confirmation plus Partial Rejection from Ariba(Suppliers network) could not be processed.
Steps to Reproduce:
1) Create a purchase order.
2) Confirm some part of the quauntity and reject the balance part in Ariba.
3) Open the link in SRM and click Copy push button.
4) Click on Process PO and check PO, the PO is not updated with the changes done in Ariba
Expected Result:
PO should update the changes done in Ariba.
Here when part quantity is confirmed and part is rejected at Ariba, its sending a POR but SRM is not updating anything for non-catalog items when POR is copied onto PO.But where as in the Catalog items partially confirmed POR is copied onto PO.
kindly give your valuable inputs to poceed furthur.
Regards,
Chandu

Hi,
I'm not clear you issue. Is it SC -> PR(backend) -> PO(backend) classic scenario ? or You just created a PO in backend system?
BBP_GET_STATUS_2 will update SC follow-on doc information from backend.

Masa

Custom screen field in the SRM portal screen for Business Partner Bidder

I need to add a custom screen field in the SRM portal screen for Business Partner. I have added this custom field in the include structure: CI_EEW_BUT000 and activated it.
I was expecting to see the enhanced field available in the SRM portal screen when I create the bidder. But is not available.
The new field are available if I edit an Business partner only.

Hi,
Please look into the following OSS Notes:

SRM 7.0 for Public Sector integrated with FM (Budget Control System)

Hello!
I'm starting an implementation project of ERP 6.0 and SRM 7.0 for Public Sector.
It would be necesary the integration not only SRM with ERP but with FM (Fund Management), with BCS (Budget Control System) specifically.
Is it possible? has anyone experience on it?
Thks so much in advance and best regards!
Marcela.-

Hi,
Certainly... If you have FM implemented in your project, you will have to make integration with SRM.
I did it some 3 years ago and it was quite problematic (a lot of notes were created by SAP on this matter, also as initiative from our project), but since then, I assume, it should not pose specific problems.

SRM 7.0 for Standalone Scenario

Hi ,
We are planning to implement SRM 7.0 for Standalone Scenario. Is there any document or help to getting start this requirement? is it possible to create PO and other follow on documents in SRM and replicate them to legacy system in Standalone Scenario? you help will be great and thankful..
Jr.SRM

Hello,
You should start with downloading the configuration guide from [http://service.sap.com/instguides]. An installation guide for BASIS can be found here aswell.
I think that your requirement can definetly be covered, srm standalone <> legacy back-end. The method(s) (RFC/iDOC/XML cq PI) used depends on your landscape and how you design this.
You've got a big but nice challenge ahead of you. Good luck!
Kind regards,
Tim

SRM 7.0 for Pharma industry

Hi,
We plan to implement SRM 7.0 for a pharma industry. Will all the FDA compliances be met in the SRM system or do we need to handle it by some customisation?
Regards

Hi,
As SRM 7.0 is part of the Business Suite the FDA compliance assessments are detailed here:
U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Title 21 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 11 [original link is broken]
Hope this helps.

SSP in EHP6 requires SRM? (release notes discrepancy)

On service marketplace, the EHP6 presentations for self service purchasing have a discrepancy that I'm trying to clarify. Two of the presentations make no mention that SRM is required for SSP (business function LOG_MM_SSP_1), but the detailed presentation states that installing and configuring SRM is required.
Is there an authority from SAP that can clear up this matter?
Thanks, Vlad
