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,
Ranjan

Hello,
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.

Ricardo

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,
Ranjan

Hello,
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.

SMOEAC site settings for material replication

SRM Gurus,
While doing the settings for material replication, in SMOEAC transaction
I am trying to create site 'SRM' of type CRM, In the site attributes if I enter RFC destination 'SRMCLNT001' and click on get values I am getting the following message "RFC destination SRMCLNT001 does not exist. No valid backend system".
Can someone please suggest what I need to check/configure to fix this issue?
Info:
R/3 side : RFC destination SRMCLNT001 (for connecting to SRM 5.0 system) created and remote logon tested OK.
Completed all CRM* table settings
SRM side: RFC destination R3CLNT800 (for connecting to ECC 6.0) created and remote logon tested OK
Thanks,
Arun

Make sure you have created the RFC destination in SRM also. You need to create the following:
RFC destination of SRM in SRM and in R/3.
RFC destination of R/3 in R/3 and SRM.

Hi Jameer,
This is a hard one, my friend. I understand what you are trying to do.. Try BAPI_DELIVERYPROCESSING_EXEC. It is tricky though.
Moreover you might want to use a FM to fill the IDOC data. something like IDOC_INPUT_**. this might be a better option.

Why I need a code for rent a film and where ist the code? (I dont have a card)

Why I need a code for rent a film and where ist the code? (I dont have a card)

it's unclear what you mean
you say you dont have a card which I guess is you don't have a creditcard
in which case the other option is to pay by a giftcard which include a code which you put in
because to rent you have to pay otherwise it's not really renting

Hello, Tayub Amin.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
To create an Apple ID without a credit or debit card, there is a specific series of steps that have to be processed in order to allow the payment to be set as none on creation of the account.
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
If the specific steps have not been processed, a credit or debit card will be required to complete the setup the account.
However, it can be removed and payment method changed to none as long as there is not an outstanding balance.

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
venu

If 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

Why we need SSL Certificates for configuring App Server in Sharepoint

Hi Support,
We are planning to have a separate server for Apps, while configuring the server its asking for certificate. The main scenario is while configuring server inside the same firewall why we need SSL for configuring.
Could you please let me know the reason why we need SSL for configuring App Server.
Thanks in Advance,
Regards,
Pradeep

Hi Pradeep,
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a transaction security standard that provides encrypted protection between browsers and App Servers. When SSL is enabled for an App Server, browsers communicate with the App
Server by means of an HTTPS connection, which is HTTP over an encrypted Secure Sockets Layer. HTTPS connections are widely used by banks and web vendors for secure transactions over the web.
Secure Sockets Layer is a requirement for web applications that are deployed in scenarios that support server-to-server authentication and app authentication. This is such a scenario. As a prerequisite
for configuring Task Synchronization, the computer that is running SharePoint Server must have SSL configured.

Why we need E-Sourceing for Rfx?

Hi Experts,
When RFX functionality is available in SAP SRM server it self? Why we need E sourceing separate system.
What are all the advanatges / additional functionalities for using E sourceing system for Rfx compoared to SRM Server?
Thanks & Regards
Giri

Hi,
Rfx or bidding functionality is available both in SRM bidding engine and E-sourcing. A customer has to take the call whether his requirements will be filled with SRM bidding itself or he needs to go to E-sourcing as well.
One major difference between SRM sourcing and E-sourcing is that in E-sourcing, one can conduct sourcing event on project mode which enables you to plan a sourcing event more elaborately.
Secondly, in E-sourcing, one can generate or author legal contract out of an RFx event. In SRM, you can generate only operational contract.
However, E-sourcing has its own limitation.E-sourcing can connect to only one ERP backend system unlike SRM. Sometimes, one needs E-Sourcing to generate or author a legal contract and then transfer it to SRM system using custom devlopment. Once the contract reaches SRM system, you can distribute it to multiple backend systems. In such cases, the customer needs both E-sourcing and SRM systems.
Thanks and regards,
Ranjan

HT5114 why i need credit card for this account?

why i need to have credit card for i tune account?

The 'none' option will be there if you follow the instructions on that HT2534 when you create an account - I've just tried those instructions again and I've got the 'none' option on a new account. If you don't follow those instructions then you will need to enter credit card details before you can use the account - you should be able to remove your card's details after entering them

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.
Regards,
Wouter

Hi,

Error message in trans code SMQ1(backend) for material replication

Hi All,
I am wandering if someone can help me with this query. I have basically followed all the customisation steps requried to replicate replicate material masters from R/3 to SRM. I had infact closley followed the advise posted on the blog: How to replicate material master from R/3 to SRM
However, once I start the initial load in SRM with trans code R3AS and thebn goto trans code SMQ1(in R/3 backend), the load has failed with the 'status' or SYSFAIL. When I double click on this message, I get the error:
"Exception condition" EBCDIC_PROBLEM__OSSNOTE_33300 8" raised.
I have looked at note 333008 but cannot find any clues as to what is causing the load to fail. In trans code R3AM1, the job's status only remains as 'Running' and does not change.
Any pointers as to the cause and required workaound would be appreciated!
Thanks
SW.

Hi Muthu,
Thank you for your feedback. I have just this moment implemented the note you recommended, but this does not appear to have resolved the error message, even though the consumer has been changed from CRM to SRM in r/3 and srm.
I basically undertook the initial load for object 'dnl_cust_basis3' only with trans code R3AS, but the system still shows the following error message in the outbound que list (trans code SMQ1) in the sender R/3 backend system:
""Exception condition "EBCDIC_PROBLEM__OSSNOTE_33300
8" raised""
I am reluctant to implement the note number (333008) within the error message as the note heavily describes the CRM 2.0 component only and shows little relevance to SRM 5.0.
Any feedback would be appreciated. I have pasted the note contents below.
Thanks
SW.
Note 333008 - XML in R/3 Adapter
Summary
Symptom
For the Plugin PI 2000.1 (R/3 OLTP) and the CRM 2.0B Support Package 08, the R/3 Adapter was enhanced by an XML support.As of CRM 2.0B Support Package 7, SAP recommends to use R3A XML as a standardAs of CRM 2.0C, XML is automatically the standard setting in the server, only in the OLTP PlugIn, you have to maintain a setting.
Additional key words
CRM, R/3 Adapter, XML, CRM_SEND_XML, BAPIMTCS, IBM, AS/400 OS/400 S/390, DBIF_RSQL_SQL_ERROR, SQL error -302 accessing table SMOAUSP
Cause and prerequisites
System requirement:Plugin PI 2000.1 with at least PlugIn patch 03 or higher and CRM 2.0B Support Package 08 or CRM 2.0C on the server.(XML is possible with CRM 2.0B Support Package 07, however, Support Package 08 is recommended:if you only use Support Package 07, parameter CRM_CONVERT_ENDIAN has to be maintained even if this has no effect - see Note 207264.)
Solution
Introduction
To eliminate or minimize problems that occur during the data transfer between different operating and computer systems, an XML interface was implemented in the R/3 Adapter in addition to the binary transport, which has been used so far.
This XML interface consists of an XML generating program on the OLTP-Plugin and an XML parser on the CRM.
The generating program generates an XML document from the data stream to be sent to the CRM System and the XML parser converts this back into the original data stream. Except for the initial configuration, the mechanism is transparent and does not require further user activities.
Activation
To use XML in CRM 2.0B in the initial download, you have to enter the following new parameter in table SMOFPARSFA (Transaction SM30 or R3AC6) on the CRM server:
             Key:             R3A_COMMON
             Parameter name: CRM_SEND_XML
             Parameter value: 'X'
In CRM 2.0C, table SMOFPARSFA does not have to be maintained since XML is automatically the standard setting.
For the data transfer with XML in delta download you must do the following
Maintain parameter table CRMPAROLTP in PlugIn Release PI 2000.1, patch 03:Newly enter parameter name CRM_SEND_XML_FOR_DEFAULT_DEST with parameter value 'X'.
Maintain parameter table CRMRFCPAR as of PlugIn Release PI 2000.2:Transaction SM30, set field SEND_XML of CRMRFCPAR to value 'X' for the corresponding entries
Advantage
The data transport in the XML format solves both the endian problem (see Note 207264) and the code page problem which existed during a data transport from or to an IBM mainframe (AS/400, S/390) to or from an ASCII-based system (NT, UNIX).
Deactivation
Regarding the performance, the XML format has the disadvantage that the XML parser needs CPU time (which can be processed in parallel because no database access is made).If you want to do without the XML conversion in a specially defined system landscape, then set parameter CRM_SEND_XML to blank in the CRM System, and set table CRMPAROLTP (PI 2000.1) or CRMRFCPAR (PI 2000.2) without XML in the R/3 OLTP.In addition, parameter CRM_CONVERT_ENDIAN must be maintained correctly in the CRM System (see Note 0207264).
You can do without the XML conversion under the following conditions.
1. The OLTP system infrastructure and the CRM system infrastructure mustbe homogeneous. Example: all OLTP application servers UNIX and all CRMapplication servers NT.
2. You must also make sure that no application servers with different operating systems are used in future.
3. The OLTP system infrastructure must be homogeneous.In the CRM System it is possible to limit the application servers permitted for the processing of the queues by setting a specific server group.The application servers of these group servers must be homogeneous.However, the setting is valid for all inbound queues and cannot be restricted to specific queue names.
              You can set up a server group with Transaction RZ12, and in Transaction SMQR you can set up the server group used for the processing via menu option 'Edit' -> 'Change AS group'. For details on this, see Note 369007.
As SAP cannot check the customer's system landscape,this option is to be classified on project basis where the responsibility is the customer's and not SAP's.
If homogeneous system infrastructures do not exist, the time required for saving data and documents can nevertheless be significantly reduced by carrying out the XML conversion in one asynchronous step.For this, you must maintain parameter CRM_XML_BACKGROUND_PROCESSING_ON in table CRMPAROLTP. For this purpose, refer to Note 350176.
Notice
Since the IPC is currently not able to process the XML document of the R/3 Adapter, XML must not be activated for IPC targets in CRMRFCPAR!
Since, in addition to the existing data mapping and data transport, the XML generation and the XML parsing is included in the sequence of operations, you must expect a download runtime which might be twice as long as usual!
Due to performance reasons, only the '&', '<' and '>' characters are converted into XML escape sequences at present.Therefore, other special characters in text fields might cause problems and might not be output correctly on the target system.
The XML conversion does not solve problems with multi-byte texts, for example the data exchange between a Japanese and an English codepage is not supported.

Need invoice numbers for material masters.

Dear experts,
I have a list of approx. 200 PO numbers (not SO numbers) and material masters. I need to find invoice# for each PO#. Could you please help me what is the fastest way to find the invoice# using the data mentioned above? I do not want to enter each order separately and check document flow in order to find invoice, would like to find some faster way to do this
Hope you can help me!
Thank you in advance!!

Hello Abc,
Apart from the above suggestions, I would like to point out that if you are searching for this as a one time activity this is feasible. But sounds like this would required in future also. To make this very transparent you can consider my view which is described below;
Process Flow:
The PO no mentioned in sales order in VA02 will be copied to the billing document in VBRK header when you create billing from a delivery. This PO no will appear here in the Assignment field (VBRK-ZUONR) which will further goes to accounting document of RV in FI which can easily been identified in FBL5N.
SPRO Configuration:
In VTFL use the option A-Purchase Order no in the Assignment field.
2. This will copy the value to VBRK-ZUONR like below;
3. Finally you can see this from the account side also in standard reports only in FBL5N like below
So by this way you will be able to manage it by standard configuration as well as in standard reporting ZERO ABAP inputs required here and users can easily learn how to track this requirement from Sales side as well as from Finance end.
Thanks,
Suman
