SRM one client Contract Management
Dear Experts,
Can we create contracts in SRM one client and distribute them to our ECC system.
Because I seached on service marketplace and no where its mentioned that Contract mangement is possible in SRM one client.
Sourcing is possible that I have checked the functionality. Please reply
Thanks
Ankit Jain
Hi Ivy,
Yes Correct nothing mentioned in the configuration guide or any other document.
But I checked System nodes no where I found that contract management is possible in SRM one client.
Also Note 963000 doesn't say anything about it.
Below link also says its not possible so I am confused even Roles doesn't have Contract Menu
SRM 7.0 one client setup in comparison to SRM 7... | SCN

SRM "one-client" installation on ECC 6.0 EhP: Own client needed for SRM?
Hello experts,
i've a question concerning the SRM "one-client" installation on ECC 6.0 EhP4 as Add-On.
Is it possible to use SRM and ERP funtionality in a single client e.g. 001?
Or do we have to use different clients on the system like for SUS?
I haven't found any information regarding this topic in SAP ressources. I'm currently using CG "SAP SRM on One Client in
SAP ERP" Release date 2008 (found on marketplace/srm-inst --> srm7.0); SRM - Technical Basis Configuration (BuildingBlock S00/S03). I'm facing problems while going through the following customizing steps:
Assign logical System to Client [both logicall systems are on the same client (001)] ==> error while trying to reference the second logical sys. because client (001) cannot be used again (own presumption: error message differs)
I've seen that some of you have successfully installed and customized this szenario. If someone could provide me any helpful information or guideline how to proceed in general... would be great...
Best regards,
PATRICKThanks for your reply. I've checked the offline documentation because i've no access to solman.
There is a document which describes the steps for configuring one-client customizing on marketplace.
Link: [SAP SRM 7.0: SAP SRM on One Client with SAP ERP|https://websmp203.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700001201562009E]
The problem is that its impossible to cofigure the system like it's described in the document.
Let me explain why...
SRM Addon is installed and customizing is done in client 001 (same client as erp)
overview about defined logical systems:
-ONECLNTERP (for ERP is defined)
-ONECLNTEBP (for SRM is defined)
When I try to assign the logical system to client 001 it works for the first entry
for the second log. system it shows up an error message.
-->I assume because client 001 has been already assigned. I cant use client 001 again.
But One-Client szenario schould be possible in a single client or is SAPs One-Client more like One-System with differnet clients for SRM and ERP on the same machine?
Because of the above mentioned problem I assume that it's impossible to run ERP and SRM in the same Client number.
Am I right? Do I have to use two Clients on One System for proper Customizing?
Or if it's possible to use a single client on one machine for both ERP and SRM how is it possible to assign two log. systems to one client number?
I'm totally confused. Any help would be appreciated - any tips/hints/experiences from someone who has customized One-Client?

Dear Experts,
Need your help.
We are planning to implement MM SUS on SRM one client.
I have some questions/ doubts before starting the implementation could you please help me to answer them
Do we need PI to have a connection between SRM and MM
because its SRM one client SRM is add-on to ECC I mean on the same server?
b. Do we need to have separate client to implement SUS and
SRM as we generally do in case of separate SRM system ?
Thanks & Regards
Ankit JainHi Ankit,
a, If you are going to use MM-SUS scenario, then XI is a must. Because you will need XI for message exchange for Supplier Self registration,PO Response, ASN, GR , Invoice creation
b, Yes, it is recommeded to implent SUS in a separate client than SRM.

SRM One Client + Portal and MDM system on top of SAP EHP4 system
Hi!
we successfully upgraded SAP ERP 6.0 system to SAP EHP4.
Now we would like to extend the functionality by adding the following components:
- SRM One Client
- Portal and MDM
Question:
1) Can some one explain the procedure to do this?
2 Where can I find the Installation files and documentation?
Any helpful information will be very appreciatedHi!
Thank you very much for your response!!
My actual situation:
I have a EHP4 for SAP ERP which has only ABAP stack.
Questions
1) Should/must I install a Java-Add In Instance?
a) Is it possible to install a Java Add In Instance for EHP4 ERP system or do I need only a extra/new Windows server for this?
b) what are the must usage scenarios I have to choose for the Java installation (Portal, MDM, PI)?
2) what is the exact installation sequence (SRM One Client, SRM MDM, NW Portal)?
Thank you very much! -

SRM addon with Contract Management
SRM Gurus,
We are in the verge of installing SAP SRM system. Our main focus will be on :
1. SSP
2. Contract Management
3. Catalog Management
Please clarify what are the pros and cons of using SRM as ADD-on or SRM as seperate instrance.
If we can use contract management with SRM addon as a leading contract system without creating them in ECC6.0
KaushikThe SRM AddOn is targeting on customers that are aiming on a simple procurement scenario, do not yet use mySAP SRM, are using only one Backend (ECC) system and aim to install SRM with a low TCO.
The following scenarios are released within the SRM AddOn:
Service Procurement (local deployment)
Self-Service Procurement (classic deployment)
SUS in connection with both scenarios mentioned above
Catalog Content Management
This also includes:
operational usage of contracts (e.g. for the assignment of sources of supply)
RFP - as far as known from the Temporary Labor scenario
Please be aware that the following deployment and migration constraints apply:
ERP 2005 with SRM as an add-on does not support any multiple-backend functions or hub deployment for procurement
Upgrade or migration from an existing SRM system to ERP 2005 with SRM as an add-on is not supported.
SAP does not offer migration paths from an SRM AddOn deployment to a deployment with a standalone SRM system.
The extended classic deployment is not supported.
The SRM as an add-on is only supported in the release combination ERP 6.0 and SRM 5.0. Other release combinations are not supported. Also future SRM releases will not run as an add-on on ERP 6.0

Hi,
My Client is currently using SAP ECC MM for Procure to Payment process. We are currently evaluating option for implementing SRM 7.0 for web base procurement solution. As per the information available in www.service.sap.com, there is a software called u2018SAP SRM on one client with SAP ERPu2019 available at this moment. I have following doubts regarding SRM on one client system:
1. As I mention, currently we are using SAP ECC. Does the u2018SRM one client softwareu2019 component will install on the top of our
existing ECC system in the same server if we will implement SRM one client system ?
2. Normal SRM 7.0 connect to ECC through RFC connection. As SRM and ECC are on the same client. Does it mean we don't
required RFC connection for SRM one client system?
3. In one client SRM system, SRM can be install on the top of existing ECC system. Does it mean, additional hardware
components like server, network etc are not are not required for SRM one client system ? We can use the existing ECC server
and network for SRM.
Thanks in advance.
Regds,
JenniferHi Jeniifer,
I tried providing information to your queries below in bold. Hope it is of any help to you.
1. As I mention, currently we are using SAP ECC. Does the u2018SRM one client softwareu2019 component will install on the top of our
existing ECC system in the same server if we will implement SRM one client system ? - *Yes. SRM will get installed in the same server.*
2. Normal SRM 7.0 connect to ECC through RFC connection. As SRM and ECC are on the same client. Does it mean we don't
required RFC connection for SRM one client system? - RFC connection will still be required but since it's same client, the connectivity and data transfer will be very fast and quick.
3. In one client SRM system, SRM can be install on the top of existing ECC system. Does it mean, additional hardware
components like server, network etc are not are not required for SRM one client system ? We can use the existing ECC server
and network for SRM. - Yes you can use existing ECC server.
This SRM one client software will be very useful in case of a small industry or business, which does not have huge data or processing. But in case your organisation is bigger, then this will not be very useful.
To find out possibility of usage of SRM one client software, I would suggest you to get in touch with SAP sales team and they will arrange for a meet to discuss it further.
Cheers,

Using SRM for very large contracts and contract management
We are doing an SRM 7.01 implementation project. SRM will be used primarily for outsourced contract management. The contracts are all services associated with facilitites (plant) maintenance and also support services like cleaning or catering.
They have very large numbers of items priced individually (e.g. 10,000) per contract. The items price depends on the location the work is expected to be performed. The location is represented in SAP RE-FX architectual object. The price can be priced at any level of the hierarchy e.g. service A is priced the same across the whole state but service B is priced per campus.
q1. SAP advises that there are performance limitations on SRM contracts >2000 lines. Has anyone experience in a solution to provide very large contracts in SRM? How did you do it please?
q2. SAP advises to use the plant to represent the location for pricing purposes, but this would result in a very large number of plants. Has any one experience in alternative solutions to for variable location pricing in SRM contracts please? I.e. like integrating the RE-FX architectural object or similar into contract and PO line items.
thanks very muchHi Prakash,
SRM does provide the facility of contract management with the help of Purchase Contracts and Global Outline Agreements but it is used as part of the sourcing for materials and services. The materials or services have contracts against some given target value against which PO is released. The contract is based on a material number ( eithe material or a service) which will be used as a source of supply during the creation of the Shopping Cart. It might not really fit in the scenario of carrier and freight forwarders but still can be customized for this kind of use.
The contract management functionalities in the R/3 space can also be looked on for this purpose.

SRM - Contract management - product category - SRM 5.0
Hello,
The product category was set as mandatory field in the contract management.
By creating a contract or modifying an existing one, a product category must be selected.
When I'm connected in English, i can use product category search function, and all the product category are populated.
I'm so able to select a product category in the contract
But when I'm connected in French, it is impossible to use the search function because no values are populated.
I already check the transaction COMM_HIERARCHY, but English and French are already set.
Thank you for help.1. GOA+LOcal contract = Central contratct.pls coreect me
:- Basically Central Contracts are created in SRM and copied to ECC. Then after you can refer that contract as GOA.
2. When the central contract is created in SRM is it dcistributed as Contract or Scheduling agreeemtn in ECC.
:- It's distributed as Contract.
3. Also, in SRM 7.0 is it possible to create contract directly in ecc from the sourcing cockpit.
:- No; it's not possible. You have to create contract in SRM first then you can distribute it to ECC. -
Setup Central Contract Management SRM 7.01 with differing release versions
Hello experts,
OSS note 1268821 explains how to configure the central contract management between a SRM 7.0 and an ERP 6.04. So far so good, but how should it be handled if there are differing release versions such as ERP 6.04 and ERP 6.03? I guess that a technical split (xml services/ ALE distribution) is necessary?
Assuming that there are some backends with differing release versions and in some cases with differing master data (not supported by central master data client) would you always go via PI? Independent of release version, technology and master data.
Could you give some further detailed informations how to configure such a scenario? What has to be done to transfer existing contracts from an ERP 6.04 into SRM CM component (migration concept)?
Thanks!!!
KR ThorstenHi Thorsten
The minimal ECC version is 6.0 EHP4, Central Contracts require certain business functions in ECC to be activated and as these are included within ECC EHP4 you won't have these available in lower version. Therefore you won't be able to operate central contracts in such an ECC system.
You would either have to go with patching these systems or go with GOA's for these systems.
Operating central contracts via PI or SOA i believe provide almost similar functionality. SOA however requires an SRM EHP1 system and ECC EHP5 back-end to operate whilst central contracts configured via PI can be operated onwards from an SRM 7.0 and EHP4 system.
I can't help you on your migration issue, maybe someone else can.
Kind regards,

Price and condition in Contract management SRM 7 version
Dear supporters,
We work SRM server 550,
We use the contract management.
In SRM 5 SEREVER 550 if you use condition in contract item the price donu2019t present in the lines items and the system present the words "see conditions".
We consider the upgrading to SRM 7 end we need to know if in this VER' the Contracts present the item price when you using condition in item line.
Thanks
IsiakiHi
the price has more than one prices and you have to click see conditions and see
orSRM tables;-
1) Take the GUID from CRMD_ORDERADM_I table
2) And input that GUID to /1CN/CBPSAP016 table
ECC tables: -
1) A016 (Input GOA number and item number)
2) You will get KNUMH numbers
3) Enter KNUMH numbers in KONP table
4) You wil get all the pricing condition details -

Master Data Synchronization in mySAP ERP
Purpose
In order for the Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) application to run as add-on in a mySAP ERP environment, it is necessary to synchronize master data objects within this platform, that are similar from a business point of view, yet technically different.
Master data objects on ERP and SRM side that need to be synchronized
ERP (SAP ECC*)
Corresponding object in SRM
Vendor
Business partner
Material/service
Product
Material type/service type
Product category
ECC: Enterprise Core Component
Integration
Master data synchronization in ERP is carried out centrally.
For more information, see: Master Data Synchronization
Once you have set up master data synchronization for your objects using the Synchronization Cockpit, and after initial data synchronization and key mapping has been completed, delta reports that run in the background ensure that master data is always matched.
The individual configuration steps are described in the IMG:
Supplier Relationship Management ® SRM Server ® Master Data ® Master Data Synchronization in mySAP ERP (One Client)
Features
This function ensures that changes (create, change, delete) that are made to objects on one side cause immediate (bidirectional) update to the same objects on the other side. In this way, SRM and ECC data is permanently synchronized.
· Purchasing organizations are not included in the automatic bidirectional master data synchronization and, as is also the case with mySAP SRM, have to be matched manually or via an update report (ECC -> SRM).
Replication (and the updates) from plant (MM) to business partner location (SRM) only occurs in one direction with the report BBP_LOCATIONS_GET_FROM_SYSTEM that is executed manually.
· Where SAP Supplier Self-Services (SUS) runs together with mySAP SRM on one ERP platform, master data synchronization occurs as described above. If SUS runs separately of ERP, SAP NetWeaver XI is used to synchronize master data with SRM.
Master Data Synchronization
Purpose
Master data synchronization synchronizes master data objects in an SAP system that are similar from a business, but not from a technical, point of view, and in this way allows you to integrate different SAP applications seamlessly in your business processes.
You can use master data synchronization, for example, to set up integration of the SAP Business Partner with the customer master. This allows you to integrate SAP applications that make technical use of the Business Partner in their user interface, and use the customer master as a technical basis in subsequent business processes.
Implementation Considerations
In order to be able to use master data synchronization, you must have defined and activated Synchronization Control as well as Customer/Vendor Integration and/or Material/Service Integration in Customizing of the Cross-Application Components under Master Data Synchronization.
Pay attention to the following note on master data synchronization terminology:
The paired terms, customer/debtor and supplier/creditor/vendor, are used with the same meaning in master data synchronization, and one term can be substituted synonymously when the documentation is read.
Integration
Master data synchronization is based in particular on the two master data objects SAP Business Partner and SAP Product, and makes it possible for the following synchronization processes, among others, to be carried out:
· Synchronization of the business partner with the customer/debtor master
· Synchronization of the business partner with the supplier/creditor master
· Synchronization of the product with the material master
· Synchronization of the product with the service master
For a complete list of all synchronization processes that are defined and active in an SAP system, see the synchronization cockpit under Synchronization Processes.
Master data synchronization replaces the current technical solutions for Customer/Vendor Integration and complements some business processes that are based on integration between the product master and the material or service master (Material/Service Integration).
Master data synchronization also has an effect on the archiving processes of the master data objects business partner/customer master /vendor master and product/material master /service master.
For more information on activating/deactivating synchronization processes, see the IMG of the Cross-Application Components under Master Data Synchronization ® Synchronization Control.
Features
Synchronization Directions
A synchronization process is always defined as a one-way synchronization between a source object type and a target object type, meaning that the synchronization is only ever active in one direction, from the source object type to the target object type. If the data of an object instance of the source object type is changed, the corresponding data in the corresponding object instance of the target object type is changed at the same time. Both synchronization directions must be activated in the SAP system in order to allow the undirected synchronization of two master data object types.
Synchronization Scenarios
There are two synchronization scenarios in master data synchronization:
· Synchronization from the master data maintenance
When you create and save new master data, the system carries out initial synchronization with the master data object types for which synchronization processes have been activated in the SAP system, and creates the corresponding master data.
If you change existing master data that has already been synchronized, the system locks this master data, and all the corresponding master data of the source object type and the target object type during maintenance. When you save the changed master data, the system generally carries out a delta synchronization with the master data object types for which synchronization processes have been activated in the SAP system, and changes the corresponding master data. In some cases, changing existing master data can lead to a delta synchronization having to be carried out.
· Synchronization using the synchronization cockpit
You use the synchronization cockpit to prepare, perform and check the initial synchronization of master data objects in an SAP system.
Constraints
Master data synchronization can neither synchronize master data objects across systems, nor can it transfer master data objects from external or legacy systems. You can use the SAP external data transfer to transfer legacy or external data.
Synchronization Cockpit
Definition
User interface for master data synchronization in an SAP system.
Use
Using the synchronization cockpit, you can carry out all the steps for master data synchronization in an SAP system These are as follows:
· Customizing synchronization
· Selection, preparation and starting of synchronization runs.
· Monitoring of synchronization runs
· Postprocessingof synchronization errors
· You can start the synchronization cockpit in Customizing of the Cross-Application Components under Master Data Synchronization ® Synchronization of Mass Data ® Execute Synchronization Cockpit.
Before you can work with the synchronization cockpit, the following prerequisites must be fulfilled:
· There are data records for at least one source object in the SAP system.
· You are authorized to carry out synchronization.
· You are authorized to start the Postprocessing Office (PPO).
· You have carried out the Customizing of the master data synchronization.
· You have carried out the general Customizing for the PPO.
For more information, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) of the Cross Application Components under General Application Functions ® Postprocessing Office.
· You have activated the writing of PPO orders for the master data objects in Customizing of the master data synchronization.
For more information see the Implementation Guide (IMG) of the Cross-Application Components under Master Data Synchronization ® Synchronization Control ® Activate PPO Orders for Platform Objects in the Dialog.
Structure
The synchronization cockpit is divided into three work areas:
· Synchronization processes work area
This work area contains a list of the synchronization processes. The list displays only the active synchronization processes, or all the synchronization processes. You can change between the two views at any time.
· Customizing synchronization work area
This work area contains an overview of all the reports that you can use for the Customizing synchronization.
· Synchronization work area
This work area contains the tab pages Processing and Monitor, which you can use to prepare or monitor synchronization runs.
Integration
The Postprocessing Office (PPO) is integrated in the synchronization cockpit, so that it can be used to postprocess synchronization errors. If the PPO has not been activated, the synchronization cockpit does not start synchronization in the case of an error, and issues the relevant error message.

Condition types and Pricing in Contract management - SRM
Hello,
We have configured Contract management in SRM 5.0 (Global Outline Agreement).
I'm trying to create an exact rpelica of the R/3 pricing in SRM. Surprisingly when I created all condition types in SRM, it needs condition group maintenance. which in turn needs an access sequence. Now following are the problems I'm experiencing..
1. It is allowing to create a condition group maintenance in TTE. Somehow I managed it thru SPRO to create the one under BBP.
2. No menu path available to create a condition table under BBP. Again the same available for TTE. I managed to create this one as well.
3. Now the price/net price maintained at line item should get assigned to PB00 by default, but this does not get assigned.
4. All the documentation talks about implementation of BADI, but that does not help, cuz condition types may be created for new terms/norms in future.
Anyone has created condition types in SRM and implemented the same in Contract management and successfully replicated the contract in the backend with all condition types carried with values?
Regards,
AshishHi
you check the bellow table for contacts data.

SRM 7.0 / ERP 6.04: Config. of Central Contract Management
Hello,
I want to configure the newly introduced integrated Procure-to-Pay Scenario Central Contract Management.
I found SAP Note number 1268821 where all tasks are described in order to implement the previous scenario.
For correct implementation, business function "Purchasing - SAP SRM Integration" (LOG_MM_P2PSE_1) activation is required in the ERP Systems.
When I run SFW5 t-code in order to activate the previous business function, SAP system gives an alert message.
What are the consequences of this business function activation ??
Thank you
MicheleHi Michele,
I don't think there will be any consequences, we had certain warning messages aswell when we activated the business functions in ECC 6. Reading the warning messages we could conclude it wasn't any serious problem.
Details on functionalities included in a business function can be viewed here: [http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04_sp/helpdata/en/42/fbded750e61febe10000000a422035/frameset.htm] -> Business Functions (SAP Enhancement Package 4 for SAP ERP 6.0) -> Business Functions in SAP ERP -> Logistics -> Materials Management -> Procurement - SRM Integration
