Why SAP SRM material replication happens through CRM middleware?
Can some one help me to understand, Why SAP SRM material replication happens through CRM middleware? Is there any functional/Technical reason behind this design?
Dear Sridhar,
SRM releases later SRM 4.0 are working with the same middleware implementation,
there where no changes between the releases. The SRM middleware implementation
was decoupled from the CRM middleware development at that time.
(Middleware is based on the basis functionality of queued Remote Function Calls qRFC)

Material Master transfer by CRM middleware
Cannot able to transfer material from R/3 to SRM,
want to know whether system names are specified separately in the CRM middleware config.
what are the basic settings to be done in the this componentYou can add these fields in your reduced message type /SAPSLL/MATMAS_SLL ( created with reference to MATMAS ) type that you would have created to send the Produc master data to GTS .
GTS Plugin - Basic Settings ---Activate change pointer for reduced Message type.
Once you include these field in your reduce message type correcpondinf entry has to be maintaine in table TBD62 so that changes to these fields can go to GTS , you can use Tcode BD52 to maintain the entry in TBD62
Hope this helps.

Why in the SAP SRM books inforecord is not a source of supply in classic
Hi All
i have read many SAP Press books and materials but no where officially mentioned INFORECORD as source of supply but we could use INFORECORD as source of supply in the classic. Why SAP did not agree inforecord is a valid source of supply in any of the officical books.What could have stopped to write this point.Dfinetly some good meaning is there. Why SAP SRM definitions are missing.
for eg.by martin murray and srm materials.etc..
appreciate your thoughts..

muthuHi Muthu,
It's a good question. Indeed, I also couldn't find any documentation in the SAPhelp about the inforecord.
We call the backend system in the plugin function B46B_SOURCEDETER_GETSOS_MULTI at the line:
* Get sources of supply from backend system for all items
CALL FUNCTION 'BBP_SOURCEDETER_GETSOS_MULTI'
DESTINATION lv_destination
EXPORTING
iv_find_contract = iv_find_contract
iv_find_inforecord = iv_find_inforecord
iv_read_price = iv_read_price
TABLES
it_search_criteria = lt_sos_find_be
et_found_contracts = lt_found_contracts
et_found_inforecords = lt_found_inforecords
et_return = ct_return
EXCEPTIONS
communication_failure = 1 MESSAGE lv_msg_text
system_failure = 2 MESSAGE lv_msg_text

SAP SRM - Purchasing Org Structure
Hi,
Pls can anybody let me know, how do we assign a user as a buyer to more than one purchasing group.
I had used to the attribute "Is Purchaser of" to assign the position of the user to one purchasing group. but
I could not assign to more than one purchasing group. Even If I do the assignment , system deletes the old assignment.
We have HR integartion of employees into the SRM Org, So I cannot assign a user under the purchasing group through staff assignment view.
Right now we are controlling through authrizations, though which during sourcing, shopping carts pertaining to the purchasing group alone is getting displayed. But this has limitations, during direct pruchaser order creation, the default attributes are that of the user and not of the purchasing group.
Hope I had conveyed the issue, pls help me on the solutioning part..
Regards
harishHi Mei,
Thanks for the answers,
As you say, I think we need to have doc change badi implemented for PO to determine the right attributes.
But the point is, if the same user happens to be a purchaser of two P.Organizations
say germany and US, the attributes right from currency till locations and everything vary.
For this I thought of creating 2 additionals positions apart from the base position of the user and use "Is purchaser of" attribute to assign those positions under the respective purchasing organization.
Pls confirm If my thinking and approach are the right , as I am not too sure about it.
And why SAP SRM has not provided the functionailty as standard as these sought of scenario's are so common.

CRM MIDDLEWARE QUERY FOR PRODUCT REPLICATION -URGENT
Hello All,
I am replicating the product categories(in SRM terminology) i.e. initia load of Material groups from backend(R/3) into the SRM system through the CRM Middleware.
At the r/3 side in the tcode SMQ1(Outbound Queue),i am getting the status as STOP while at SRM side(i.e. CRM middleware) in the tcode SMQ2(Inbound queue),i get the status READY.Also when I go in for the transaction of Monitoring Initial Load (R3AM1),I get the status as RUNNING.
Can anyone please tell me how much time it takes to download these objects because I had started the Initial Load for 4 Objects out of which the 1st object took 4 hrs to be downloaded!Please help.
Thanks & regards,

Why we need crm middleware for material replication?
Hi Experts,
Why we need CRM middleware for material replication from ECC to SRM when we can do the vendor replication from ECC to SRM with ABAP report? IS there any technical limitation?
Thanks and regards,
RanjanHello,
Vendors and locations, for example, you can replicate from ECC to SRM using ABAP reports.
However, if you want to replicate the following information, you should use the middleware:
- DNL-CUST-BASIS3 - Basis CRM online
- DNL-CUST-PROD0 - Material number conversions
- DNL-CUST-PROD1 - Product : categories
- DNL_CUST_SRVMAS - Customizing: Service Master
- MATERIAL - R/3 Material Master
- SERVICE_MASTER - R/3 Service Master
Check note 872533. It provides more information.

Material replication between SAP and SRM
Howdy friends.
Is there any way to stop having to manually activate the material replication queue between SAP and SRM each time please?
Our admin team go to transaction SMQ2 each day and for 2-3 years have been manually activating each queue manually and doing this several times per queue as the entries do not reach zero. Surely, it is possible to set this up to be automatic as a job?
Ciao,
MikeHello,
I could not find the SDN Weblog but here a link to an article that migh help you....[url]http://searchsap.techtarget.com/tip/0,289483,sid21_gci1245134_mem1,00.html[url]

Overwriting Conditions data during Material Replication from R/3 to SRM.
Hi,
When creating a new info record and then running the material replication program everything looks OK. However, if for the same material you create a new info record or change the existing info record and then run the material replication, some of the previous data is removed.
We implemented BADI(PRODUCT_CUSTOMER2) to read info records from R/3. When i debug BADI all the info record and condition info is populated. Once the control leaves the BADI standard SAP code is not inserting/updating delta condition records. It is only populating latest info record.
SRM 4.0
Support pack level : 11
BADI Name: PRODUCT_CUSTOMER2
Method Name: MAP_R3_TO_CRM_MATERIAL
Conditions Populated in structure : COMT_PROD_SERVICE_BDOC- CONDITIONS-CND_BBP_WORKING_SET.

XI Integration scenario for material replication from SRM to SRM-MDM
Hi Guys,
We are working with the following landscape:
SRM Server 5.5
ECC 6.0
SRM-MDM 5.5 SP6
PI 2005_1_700 SP0006
I have a question for you about replication of the material master form SRM EBP to SRM-MDM.
In XI we are trying to configure this scenario. For this we have imported the following XI Content:
- SAP SRM Server 5.5
- SAP SRM-MDM 2.0
We have the following problem; that when tring to configure the this scenario we are getting GUID errors. Probable because some XI content is missing. In the SRM-MDM 2.0 XI content we also see that SRM 6.0 scenario's are avilable in the currenlty imported XI content, but when clicking on 'Edit action' in these scenario's we are getting the following error:
"Software component version with GUID XXXXXXXXXX... does not exists"
Can any one tell me why SRM 6.0 scenario's are availble in the XI content for SRM-MDM 2.0, and which additional XI content we need to import to get rid of these GUID error's?
Becasue of this the configuration in the Integration Directory fails.Transfering the integration scenario to the Integration directory gives a couple of errors: "Unable to load action. Check whether all necessary actions have been released in the integration repository".
Hopefully some of you know what to do, because I am currenlty stuck....... Do we need to import additional XI content, or maybe the Xi content for SRM 6.0. If so where can I get the XI content for SRM 6.0. It is not available on the SAP Support portal as a download.
Thx In advance.

WouterHi,
>"Software component version with GUID XXXXXXXXXX... does not exists"

Material replication from ECC to SRM
Dear SRM 7.0 Experts,
We are implementimg SRM 7.0 and we are trying to execute the Initial Load of materials into SRM 7 from ECC. We have completed all the Middleware settings and all the customising required for material replication. Whe we run the initial load (tcode R3AS) and select the first object DNL_CUST_BASIS3, it runs but the status remains "Running" in R3AM1. There is no errors in SMQ1as the entry runs and completes and therefore disappears. There is no errors recorded in SMW0 or SLG1 either. What could be the problem?
I checked in SMQ1 & SMQ2 as well, but there is no entries here for the object DNL_CUST_BASIS3. what we can do to resolve the issue ?
Regds,
CbHave you checked the outbound queue in backend R/3 system ?
Have you defined the additional user in CRMCONSUM table apart from the CRM user?
Verify and, if necessary, change or insert entries in tables CRMCONSUM and CRMRFCPAR as
described in SAP Note 430980. See also SAP Note 720819.
Hope this helps you.

Why do we need to define RFC destination and user for material replication
Dear Experts,
why do we need to define RFC destination and user for material replication? Here we use crm middleware only for material replication. Could you please help me to understand it?
regards,
RanjanHello,
As far as I know, you can use the same RFC destination already available in ECC to SRM to replicate materials.
You can refer to note 720819.

CRM Middleware in Material Master replication
Hi All,
Why CRM Middleware is required to replicate Material Master from ECC to SRM whereas the Vendor Master
is replicate with Transaction....could you please explain.
Thanks & Regards
venuIf your CRM system is new then you have to do the initial download of material from ECC to CRM. To do that first download the material customizing object (like category. group etc), from transaction R3AS (CRM side) then download the product/Material.
After do the initial download, activate the change pointer for the material related message type (matmas etc..)from transaction SALE (ECC). And schedule I job to run its on daily basis.
If can check the below link for details

BO-DS Communication w/ SAP SRM/CRM
Experts,
Like we connect BO-DS with ECC by pushing through a few transports and setting up connection parameters, can we also connect BO-DS to SAP SRM/CRM? If yes, what is the approach?
Thanks in advance.
NWHi,
We tried to connect to CRM yesterday with the same steps as connecting ECC. It was successfull and able to pullout the SAP tables from Datastore.
But now the issue is importing BAPIs and accessing Hierachies. The SAP and DS OS are hetrogeneous(Windows and Unix) and we using the Shared directory method.... that may be the problem and working on it
Any suggestions please.....
Thanks
SK
