SRM 5.5 as an add-on on ECC 6.0 vs SAP SRM 5.5 server

Hi
Are there any limitations if we go with SAP SRM 5.5 Server as an add-on on ECC 6.0 compared to Implementation of SAP SRM 5.5 server on its own.
FYI-We just have one ERP Back-end system.
BTW, what is the difference between SAP SRM server 5.5 vs SAP SRM server 5.5 Plus.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks & Regards,
Anji

Hi
Summary:
You can use classic scenario in Add-on.
You can use self-service procurement and SUS in Add-on.
You cannot have Sourcing and other scenarios.
No migration from Add-on to Separate server available.

SRM 5.0 as an Add on with ECC 6.0

Even i have the same question on how we would manage the distibution model when the SRM System is installed as an add on with ECC. Since being on the same client here are some of the Questions. I have also opened a new thread on this.
1.) How would the distribution model be distributed when on the same client?
2.) How would the Documents flow between two different systems?
3.) In an SUS-MM scenario, how would this be handled when installed on the same client?
4.) How would material and vendor replication facilitated?
Any thoughts would be highly appreciated !!
Thanks,
Sundeep

Hi Sundeep,
I have answered for vendor replication here :
One Client Solution
For product category, material and material type replication, this is same process through activation of relevant objects in table mdsv_ctrl_opt_a
Then you have to trigger the replication through mds_load_cockpit
For SUS, you have to select SUS_ONE (instead of EBP_ONE) in table bbp_backend_dest
That all what i know so far
Kind regards,
Yann

Add Approver button disabled for PO in sap srm when GR and IR are already posted

Hello Gurus,
One of my user has edited an old PO for which the GR and IR has already been posted in backend. Now the reason for editing was to change the expected value for 3 item and he changed the value the approver is still blank as for old PO's there was no approval required but later on the whole scenario changed and based on total value the approvers are decided now. But for this PO still its not showing the appovers and also the add approver button is disabled. Is there any way to enable the Add approver button. Also please let me know whether addition of approver is allowed after the GR and IR are posted in backend.
Thanks
Gaurav Gautam

Solved.
In Control Actions -> Configure Control of Actions on Header Level, it's not neccessary put the subtype equal to 0.

SUS-MM Lanscape with SRM 5.0 as an Add-on with ECC6.0

All-
We are implementing SRM 5.0 as an add on with ECC 6.0. We are aware of all the constraints and those constraints do not matter within our scope. The open question that we have is that if SRM is installed as an Add on with ECC.
Can we also leverage the SUS-MM functionality within SRM, when installed as an Add on with ECC 6.0??
Any help would be appreciated.

Activate CCMS for SAP SRM with SAP DB

Hi!
I would like to monitor SAP SRM 5.0 (OS: Windows, DB: SAP DB, Version 7.6.04.11) from SAP Solution Manager.
I have the following problems:
a) it is not posible to execute the tocde DB50 on SAP SRM.
b) it is not possible to see the DB monitor of SAP SRM in SAP Solution
(SAP CCMS Monitor Templates --> Database --> empty)
c)The database is integrated in tcode DB59.
Unfortunately when I execute the connection test I get:
General Connection Data
Connection Name....: SRM
Database Name......: SRM

What I have done:
I have upgraded the server as well the client software to the version 7.6.04.11
Can someone help me with suggestion?
Could it be the issue with independent path on windows or do I miss some programs?
In tcode DB59 in Connection test the following values could not be determined:
DBMRFC Release (empty)
DBMCLI Release (empty)
Thank you

Hello Thom,
"a) it is not possible to execute the tocde DB50 on SAP SRM."
-> Run /ndb50n with the database connection SRM created in /ndb59.
 Please give more details about errors.
"b) it is not possible to see the DB monitor of SAP SRM in SAP Solution
(SAP CCMS Monitor Templates --> Database --> empty)"
-> First fix the database connection in /ndb59.
 Please let me know the version/SP of the SAP Basis on SAP Solution Manager system.
"c)The database is integrated in tcode DB59."??
You posted that you created the database connection for the database.

Replicating storage locations from SAP SRM

Dear Experts,
How to replicate the storage locations from ECC to SAP SRM? How you can restrict the selection of storage location in SAP SRM based on the plant selection? i.e. plant 1000 has three storage locations say 1001, 1002, 1003. Now, when the user selects the plant 1000 as delivery address in direct procurement scenario, then the system should allow only the three values in value help?
Thanks and regards,
Ranjan

HI Ranjan,
Did you try by removing 'Storage Locations" from Extended Attributes in PPOMA_BBP?
thanks,

Vendor Migration issue for SRM as add-on to ECC

Hello Experts,
I am working on SRM as add-on to ECC.
When I am trying to migrate vendors from ECC to SRM using MDS_LOAD_COCKPIT. Within monitor, all queues are 'green' indicating that data has successfully migrated to SRM.
But when I check vendors in trx- ppomv_bbp, i don't see any vendor being migrated from ECC. Neither the BPs are crated for these vendor masters.
I have configured all necessary configuration- i.e.
1) I have carried out necessary settings in tables-
mdsv_ctrl_opt_a
crmc_but_call_fu
v_tbc001
2) In addition, I have maintained backend Purchase Org in PPOMA_BBP.
3) I have checked RFC connections, definition of logical systems and
it seems to be alright.
Can anybody please guide if I am missing on any config or can point
me in right direction to investigate??
At SRM GUI, I tried making a local vendor using 'BBPMAININT' but end up in a short-dump.
Can you please help?
Thanks and Regards,
Amit

Hi,
if you problem is still existing, following might be possible solution. Try it.
Maintain Table BBP_MARKETP_INFO with corresponding Vendorroot ID (ex. VG50000....) that you already created in the PPOCV_BBP trx.
Hope it helps.

General Understanding SRM as Add-On to ECC 6.0

Since I checked in this forum there is no configuration guide for SRM as Add-On available I have some general problems. Does SRM Add-On as single client installation with ECC 6.0 require replication and download of data objects and do I have to maintain the middleware parameters? If it is like this I understand why tere is no specific configration guide for SRM as Add-On!
In Detail:
When I configure SRM as Add-On do I have to replicate objects like product, product category, customizing (UOM), vendor from the backend as in stand alone implementation?
Do I also have to replicate organizational structure via report from the backend or can I use the organizational structure form the backend directly for the SRM?
Do I have to download the locations from the backend?
Rgds.
Dieter

Hi
ECC 5.0 does not come with EBP or SRM. ECC 6.0 (ERP 2005) comes with SRM Server as an add-on. Only self service procurement and supplier enablement scenarios are supported. Not recommended for sourcing scenarios and multi-backend deployment options.
Please look at http://help.sap.com/erp
Then click on SAP SRM for ERP.
you will find very good documentation here.
Please go through these detailed pointers for more information ->

SUS when SRM is add-on for ECC

Gurus:
Did anyone implemented SAP Supplier Self-Service when you have SRM Add-on in ECC (SRM One Client Scenario)?
Any help is well appreciated.
Regards,
Vijay Alisetty

In a security point of view the production SUS should stay in a independent server. I think that you have to see this with the security team. The vendor's companies are going to do log-on in your SUS system (via web).
Two years ago, analyzing SRM versus SRM add-on SAP told us that materials with MRP are not supported with the add-on so the company decided to do not use the SRM add-on. SAP told us that contract management is not supported also with the add-on.
We did not use the SRM add-on for other motives (MRP). Did you asked SAP his advice using SUS with the add-on.
Hope to help you.

Advantage of using SAP SRM

Hi,
Could any one please explain the advantages of using SAP SRM over MM module. As per me we can de most of the activities in MM except some vendor related activities (and that even if SUS is used).
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Lalit

Hi Lalit,
All advantages of using SRM and MM module is in Plan-Driven Procurement documentation on service.sap.com/instguides -> SRM.
Generally planning in APO or MRP in an ERP system calculates the quantity and materials required. This requirement can be transffered to the EBP system. Requisitions from SAP Plant Maintanance or Project System are also possible requirements.
The requisitions are passed to EBP. If the data is complete and unique, purchase orders can be created automatically. If the data is missing, the proffesional purchaser has to complete the missing information in Sourcing or via Process Purchase Orders. An option for the professional buyer is to assign un-sourced PO to an RFQ and send it out for bids.
The proffesional purchaser completes the orders, assings source of supply, add or deletes item.
Once the order is complete it is issued automatically to R/3. XML is the upcoming medium, since the data can be automatically integrated in more and more supplier's systes, or You can send orders by e-mail, fax or print them.
Goods receipt is either done in EBP by supplier via an XML confirmation, by employee who requested the item by general goods recipient or in the backend system. Inventory is updated in backend.
The invoice is processed in EBP manually by the requestor or an accountant submitted by the supplier via an XML invoice, possibly from SUS or backend system.
You can also look in Self-Service Procurement documentation on:

SAP SRM UI (NXP) - Work Processes remain running

Background:
Shopping carts are being processed through the new SAP SRM UI (NXP). On occasion, dialog Work Processes are left in 'running' status even when there is nothing happening in the front end.
It occurs for many standard programs, but when checking the WP details, all are pointing to the same class
/IWFND/CL_MGW_RUNT_RCLNT_PRXY and function module /IWBEP/FM_MGW_CHANGESET.
The /IWFND/*_LOG transactions aren't showing any errors or warning
I haven't found any relevant SAP notes.

QUESTION:
At the moment, I'm interested in a BASIS perspective; I want to ensure the platform (SRM_SERVER, GW_CORE, UI5, SRMNXP01, etc) is stable and functional. However, I'm not familiar with debugging / tuning / administrating the SAP Gateway (I still think SMG when I hear Gateway), so these may have fairly obvious answers to the right people, but ...
1) What or where should I be looking for further clues ? My first thoughts are around the available network connections.
2) Is there a transaction that provides real time monitoring of GW CORE ? I've found that the /IWBEP/VIEW_LOG and /IWFND/*_LOG transactions are only useful after the fact.
thanks

Hello Martin,
such hanging work processes can have many causes. Which AIX version do you have? Please take a look at the note

if it can be relevant in your case.

SAP SRM - ERP INTEGRATION

Hello,
we are designing application architecture. Our landscape is:
- ECC 6.0
- SRM 5.0
- XI 7.0
We are thinking of using XI as middleware even for those scenario in which in not required (es. Contract Managament):
In particular every time we have a communication based on IDOC we want to use XI as communication middleware. Pure RFC integration will not use XI.
Has anyone some experience on this?
Thanks
