MDM & SRM

Hi Guys,

Question: I know that with SRM a predelivered repository (and SRM-MDM version) should be used in order to make the UI work. But let's say that the organization wants to use the full MDM suite to maintain their master data. Is it possible to make this work with SRM 5.0 or SRM 7.0?

Meaning, collecting the master data from the back-end system, mainting it MDM and then syndicating it back to R/3. I presume the predelivered SRM-MDM repository should be used. But can we subsequently maintain the master data in MDM and syndicate it back to R/3 when whe purchase the complete MDM suite? Will the SRM-MDM UI keep working if we have the full MDM suite available?

Thx.
