Vendor Master Replication

Hi,
We are implementing SRM 5.0 connecting to R/3 backend. Our client will be using Master Data Management (MDM) component to manage the vendor master data. My questions are:
1. If we are using MDM for vendor master management, do we still need to perform the replication of R/3 vendors to SRM?
2. Assuming the answer to question '1' is yes, how so we replicate the vendor master data to MDM? should the replication be done from R/3 to MDM or from SRM to MDM?
3. How can the changes to the vendor master data in MDM be reflected in SRM and R/3 backend?
Thanks.
Regards,
Irene W.

Hello Irene,
AFAIK, there is no process between MDM and SRM for vendors.
MDM could extract SRM vendors (as business partners) and R/3 vendors and match them for Consolidation scenario, but for Distribution scenario, MDM uses IDOCs to create/change vendors in R/3.
So:
1- Yes: the flow will be MDM --> R/3 --> SRM
2- Do you plan some changes on SRM vendors ?
-- if no, let R/3 --> MDM flow. R/3 remains the master.
-- if yes, parts of SRM vendor updates can be transfered to R/3, so the R/3 --> MDM flow applies. SRM --> MDM flow might not be supported (it was not in MDM 2.0 and MDM 3.0).
3- Via MDM -(IDOC)-> R/3 -(BBP_VENDOR_SYNC)-> SRM. This is the MDM scenario where you maintain vendors centrally.

Vendor Master Replication from MM to SUS

Does any one have experience on Vendor Master Replication from R/3-MM to SUS (scenario without EBP).
Is this replication made via XI?
Which are the configuration steps for this scenario?
Thanks

Hi antonio,
I hope now you r now transfering vendor to SUS using
transaction BD14 with message type Z_CREMAS_SUSMM as
SAP suggested.
Your error due to incorrect mapping in Integration
Directory of XI.Kindly check the Interface
determination for message type Z_CREMAS_SUSMM.
If possible send more details for error .Is this at
SUS End ?

Vendor Master replication from EBP and MM to SUS

Hi !
We would be replicating Vendors from R/3 as well as from EBP to SUS. I believe that there is certain configuration to check duplication of Vendors and also to assign a single business partner ID even if a Vendor is replicated both from EBP as well as from MM. Can anyone thro some light on this & the procedure...
Thanks

Hi,
For the Vedor Maste replication from EBP and MM to SUS,
U need to maintain the proper RFC conncection between R/3, EBP SUS and XI as a middleware.
U can transfer the Vendor by using the T.Code - BBPGETVD.
U can transfer vendor to SUS using
transaction BD14 with message type Z_CREMAS_SUSMM as
SAP suggested.
Your error due to incorrect mapping in Integration
Directory of XI.Kindly check the Interface
determination for message type Z_CREMAS_SUSMM.
Please award the points for the help.

Vendor Master Replication-getting error message

Dear SRM Gurus,
Currently I am using SRM 5.0 and ECC 6.0. I am trying to replicate the vendors from ECC system using BBPGETVD for initial download.
I am getting the error message "*_All backend descriptions are already assinged in the system".*_
I checked in SLG1 tcode even i couldn't find any log entry.
I created root orgnisational unit using ppocv_bbp and same object id i am using for replication.
I am not sure but i believe i have maintained all the necssary settings.
Can you please give me the solution.
Thanks for your help

Hi Muthu,
I maintained below settings for number ranges in both the systems.
In ECC:
Spro->Logistics general->Busines partner->vendors->define number range for vendor master records
No   From number   To number      Current         Ext
01   0001000001     0001999999     1004422
In SRM:
SPRO-> supplier relationship management->srm server->cross application components->number ranges- Define Number Ranges for Vendor List
No   From number   To number      Current         Ext
01   0001000001 0001999999     1004422
Should I check u2018EXTu201D checkbox in any of the system.
Please check above settings and please guide me.

Vendor Master REplication from CRM

Hi friends,
I am maintaining Employees from CRM to R/3 and these EMployees exists as Vendors in ECC (Purchasing). So whenever I replicate a document it is giving me error with these Partner functions CSR, Field Sales
The possible reason could be I have no option to map the Vendor Accountgroups to CRM Classification through PIDE(ECC)
Question is
How do you I maintain vedor master mapping to CRM partner functions,
I have already mapped the CRM Partner functions to R/3 Account groups, but i am assuming that I need to maintain the classification in PIDE to replicate.
So please help any suggestions will be greatly rewarded
thanks
Raj

Hi Subramaniyan,
Thanks for the Reply. But this is supposed to happen real time.
Here is the detailed explanation again. I am maintaining the Partners CSR, Field Sales (Internal Employees) in Vendor master and they are coming into CRM as Employees with Mapping Data Transfer. When the same replicates to ECC through a Quote or Order... The problem is these Employees CSR, Field Sales from CRM to ECC are not linked to any of the ECC Classifcations becasue we dont have any option to do so.
Now when i replicate becasue the classifcation is not mentioned, it is popping back to me and giving me as error on just these 2 Employee functions.
To resolve this issue, I have to maintain some kind of mapping structure using a classification Consumer, Competitor, Customer, or Prospect. In a different way, I have to assign the vendor account group to a classification. which is not possible through PIDE, coz PIDE only allows you to map customers not vendors.
My question is how do i handle the incoming vendor partners from CRM into R/3.
thanks a lot

Vendor Master Replication from 2 Backend System

Hi Experts,
I am facing a problem in replicating the vendor masters from two Different Logical ECC systems.
The vendor master at 1st Backend system
Vendor Master: 0011000196
Company Code: C001
Pur.Organization: P001
The vendor Master at 2nd Backend system
Vendor Master: 0011000196
Company Code: 1000
Pur.Organization: 1000
In BBPGETVD, the vendor from 1st backend system is replicated successfully and available in VENMAP table. Again, I entered the same vendor code and change the 2nd Backend destination in BBPGETVD and clicked on start transfer , In SLG1 i could find the error as below
"Error: The Vendor Number Exists as a Partner Number Vendor: 0011000196”.
In VENMAP table for the above vendor there is only one entry for the 1st logical system alone.
Kindly suggest.
Thanks& Regards,
Ramprakash N

If it is the same vendor - it must have the same address in both backends.
After that you should be able to start BBPGETVD with following checkbox activated.
Then VENMAP should be extended automatically.

Vendor Master Replication Error from ECC to SUS : Error in ALE Service

Dear Experts,
We are implementing MM SUS (SRM 5.0). As a part of this we need to replicate vendors from ECC to SUS system via XI. We have created a Reduced Message Type Z_CREMAS_SUSMM and had set up the partner profile in WE20 with SUS logical system as destination and specifing the Message Type, and port of the XI system
We executed the transaction BD14 for replication, it is resulting in error 29 : Error in ALE Service : Entry in Outbound table not found.
Please provide inputs to overcome this problem
Thank you,
Regards,
Ravi

Hi,
Check
Re: Idoc Error Status "Entry in outbound table not found "
Looks like some issue with the partner profile set up for the sender or receiver of the EDI message in WE20.
Set up them again and When these have been set up try reprocessing your IDocs from BD87

Error in Vendor Master Replication

Hi All,
I am trying to Replicate vendors from back end but it is saying that All backend descriptions are already assigned in the system,plz help me out
Thanks in advance,
Varun

Hello Kumar,
Please check in web transaction "Manage Business Partner" that your vendor is not already existing.
Do the same with SAP GUI, using PPOSV_BBP transaction.
Moreover, check in IMG:
Cross-application components -> SAP Business Partner -> Business Partner -> Basic Settings -> Number Ranges and Groupings
that your vendor number range ( Define Number range ) in which you want to replicate your vendor is assigned to the good Business Partner Grouping - internal or external ( Define Groupings and Assign Number Range ).
This will depend on what you want to do with suppliers:
- use R/3 vendor number (external grouping),
- use SRM vendor number (internal grouping).
Hoping it will help you.
Regards.

Vendor master repliaction & Material Master Replication

Hi GRM Gurus,
Whether Vendor master replication & Material Master Replication is applicalbe only to
Plan driven procurement (PDP ) Scenario only (Extended Classic) (or) it is needed for Classic Scenario ?
Please give your views
Regards
G.Ganesh Kumar

Hi
First of all for any scenario except Stand alone. you need to replicate material and vendor master from backend system. because in SRM we dont have any master data. We purely depends on backend system.

Replication Error with Vendor Master Records

Hello,
We are trying to replicate vendor master records from R/3 to SRM via BBPGETVD. When we go to SLG1, there is an error stating Business Partner XXXX: Invalid Value 0003 for field Authorization Group.
Currently, the AP dept. maintains the field Authorization Group in the Vendor Master Record 'Control' screen with a fixed value of 0003 (LFA1-BEGRU). When the replication occurs, SRM complains that this field value does not exist in a SRM customizing table or is a fixed value.
Do we need to implement the BBP_TRANSDATA_PREP BAdI to pass this value as a fixed value to replicate vendors?
-regards
Shaz Khan

I'm planning to implement bbp_transdata_prep. Wondering if either one of you can help. I've also opened another thread with my specific questions.
