Upgrade SRM from SRM 3.5 to SRM 5.0 - BW Influence

Hello,
We were working with BW above SRM 3.5 and built a lot of Business logic, DSO and Infocubes using the extractors: 0BBP_TD_PO_1, 0BBP_TD_CONF_1. We are now upgrade our SRM system to SRM 5.0 and found out that all the data sources had changed. Is there standard migration for the DSO 0bbp_po and 0bbp_con ? Do we need to build everything from the beginning?
Thanks,
Amir

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!

Using MOPZ to upgrade SRM from 5.0 to 7.0

Hello to the group,
We are lookinig to upgrade SRM from 5.0 to 7.0 and were looking to MOPZ to calculate all the needed packages. However, when we run MOPZ for SRM we are not seeing the selection that allows us to select upgrades/enhancement packages (all we see is 'maintenance'). Is this normal? Has anyone been able to use MOPZ for this upgrade process?
Note that we have verified our settings in SMSY against SAP's recommendations for using the Maintenance Optimizer.
Thanks in advance for any help.
J. Haynes

Hello there,
Please check the Support Package level of the Solution Manager system. It should be at least on SP22.
In https://websmp107.sap-ag.de/solman-mopz it says that upgrade with an EHP install is supported for SRM, so it should offer the upgrade.
Please check the order of activation of these BC sets:
SOLMAN40_MOPZ_TTYP_SLMO_000
SOLMAN40_MOPZ_001
SOLMAN40_MOPZ_SP18
If they are activated in the above order, then it is OK. If not, or if any of them is not activated, them activate them in this order.
Best regards,

CCM 2.0 Catalog to SRM-MDM 3.0 Catalog during SRM 7.0 upgrade

Hi,
We are upgrading our existing SRM 5.0 system to SRM 7.0 and we are planning to deploy SRM-MDM 3.0 Catalog as it is more flexible & SAP is not going to support CCM 2.0 Catalog after 2013. Please let me know the upgrade steps/plan to upgrade CCM 2.0 to SRM-MDM 3.0 catalog. As per my understanding, there is no tool/method available to upgrade from CCM 2.0 to SRM-MDM 3.0 catalog available. We need to build it from scratch i.e maintain SAP supplied MDM repository, upload data from SRM/ERP, upload suppliers catalog etc.
Thanks,
AS

Hi,
I have migrated CCM to SRM-MDM Catalog.
Steps are
- Install SRM-MDM Catalog
- Adjust Repository if you have custom fields
- Import contents
- Adjust view
Migration itself is not difficult but you need to learn how to use MDM client tools.
The SRM270 class room training is good one.

How to get Plant address from SAP R/3 to SRM

Hi Gurus,
We need to retrieve the plant address from SAP R/3 to SRM and display it in the output list of the report (SRM).
Suggest any standard FM or should we need to create a Custom Remote enabled FM and put the select query to get the address.

Hi Paul,
Try using the RFC_READ_TABLE function module...
Pass the table name as t001w which contains the plant details.
Hope this helps.

Vendor Master can not replicate from SAP R3 to SAP SRM system.

Hi All,
We face one issue when we use bbpgetvd program to transfer Vendor master from SAP R3 to SAP SRM, after I check Analysis Application log, found the following issue:
Error: No Bank Master Data Maintained No Bank Data Transferred
Error: Name/Address for Vendor Already Exists Vendor: 0015118743 Address Number 0000054208
Error: Warning: Complete Business Partner: Vendor: 0015118743 Backend: APP002TS No Transfer of Vendor Data
But I check BP in SRM and can not find vendor 0015118743 information, so could you give me any tips or suggestions to fix this issue. Is there any table in SRM system to keep Vendor Master like SAP R3?
Thanks for your kind suggestions or help in advnance!

You cannot.
Business Partner are stored in BUT000 table. I don't remember if its address number is also stored in this table.
If yes, link is done directly between both.
If not, this is the person number which is stored in BUT000. So, use your address number to get its corresponding person number using ADCP table. Then, with this person number, check in BUT000 what is its corresponding Business Partner.
Finally, with its corresponding GUID, check in VENMAP table the vendor number.

See my answer above concerning ADCP table.

Transferring Search Help values from ECC 6.0 to SRM 7.0

Hi SAP experts,
I have a requirement to display the search help values for a data element in ECC 6.0 into the custom data element that I created on SRM 7.0.
Is there a BAPI that I can use to retrieve the values for a search help element (for example SH_ANLKA) from the the ECC into SRM?
Your advise would be greatly appreciated!

but facing issue.
The XML message is going over to SRM from XI , but getting an application error (Exception) when checking in sxmb_moni on the SRM side. So we are not able to see the PR in the Sourcing cockpit in SRM.

Hi Vijay,
Can you tell us the interface name?
If it is stuck in FEH (Application Error) in SRM then you can check the detail error by going into tcode /n/sappo/ppo2.
You need to enter the Business Process, Order Assignment and Mode Of Postprocessing Order and then execute.
It will show you all the messages stuck in application error for that interface and if you double click on any one of them you will get to see the detailed error with options to Discard, Repeat etc.
Let us know if this helps you.

Do we need to replicate storage locations in SRM from R/3?

Hi Experts,
Can anyone tell me do we need to replicate storage locations in SRM from R/3 system .
If so what will be the table for this entries to be checked in SRM whether replicated or not?
Suppose if we replicate the plants from R/3 we have table to check bbp_locmap

Please guide me
Regards
sairam.

Hi Dinesh
Thanks for your reply.
So there wont be any table for this storage locations right?

Scheduling agreement from ECC 6.0 to SRM EBP 5.0

Hi experts
is there a way to send from ECC 6.0 to SRM EBP 5.0 all the kinds of scheduling agreements?
thanks
regards
andrea

Hi Andrea,
It is not possible to send Scheduling agreements from ECC to EBP.Same is the case with contracts.
You can only upload backend contracts to SRM. Using GOA you can create either a contract or a Scheduling agreement in R/3.
As informed by Usman, when you integrate R/3 (MM) with SUS it is possible to send S.As to vendors via SUS.
Hope this makes you more clear.Clarifications are welcome.

RFC from ECC 6.0 to SRM 3.0

Hi experts i'd like to know if is possible to make a RFC frome ECC 6.0 to SRM 3.0 in order to read the Purchasing Groups in the Plant Structure of SRM (ppoma_bbp)
thanks a lot
regards
andrea

Hi,
Use the FM mentioned in the previous reply.If you want to find all the p groups maintained under one single org unit/node,pass the org unit no of that node/org in the import parameter IV_ORGUNIT of the FM "BBP_OM_DETERMINE_RESP_PGRP".In the export parameter," ET_PURCH_DATA",you can see all the Pur groups maintained under that single node/Org unit.
Only change you will hae to do for calling this FM from ECC,is make a copy of this FM in SRM and make it REMOTE enabled so that you can call this FM via RFC from ECC.

Transfer the PR from ERP 6.0 to SRM for

Hi SRM profis,
we are using SRM 7.02 (AddOn) classic scenario. Can someone explain how to transfer the PR from ERP 6.0 to SRM for
approving only.

Hi,
I think this could not be explained in one post.
We are using the same above scenario for transferring PS or PM requisition to SRM for approval only.
Lot of conditions are set.
1.     Landscape
2.     Process -
3. Criteria for transferring and approving PReq’s in SRM should be defined in ECC
for example - The criteria which PReq’s should be transferred to SRM should be defined in a local customizing table XXXXX with the field purchasing organisation, plan account assignment type and update date of PReq.
4.   1st approver selection criteria should be setup in the ECC
5.     When creating or updating a PReq item a workflow event will be triggered to start the transfer workflow. The trigger is implemented in the PM and PS BADI workorder_update while saving the PM order or the PS network order. The same event cancels an eventually transfer workflow which just transfers a previous version of the PReq, or waits for the approval result of a previous version.
6.     The Release Strategy has to be maintained in the productive systems. Only the release codes will be defined and distributed centrally. The name of the Release Strategy can be chosen locally. It’s very important that a release strategy fits to the values of the purchase requisitions that come from SRM and that go to SRM. It doesn’t matter which release strategy. If no existing release strategy fits to the values of the purchase requisitions a classification of the new release strategies is necessary. Otherwise no classification for the new release strategies is needed.
7.     Also need to do MM specific customization , PI related and SRM related.
I think it would be too much to tell everything through a post.
Please ask a specific question then i would be able to help you more.
Thanks.
