[samar_jose2]

Hi All, I have a requirement where as BP's needs to be replicated from  one ERP system to another ERP system.

As anyone come across such a scenario, can anyone please suggest whether to utilise ale or PI. Also what are message types to be used.

You may contact your basis guy. Since the ERP systems are different i fear this will not happen.

Thanks,

Hi Shiva, Thanks for the response, We are thinking of treating the receiving ERP system as an external system not sure if this will work.

Eventhough External System You need to build some of the fields or Screens in SAP which is a Tedious Task for ABAPer.

Firstly Confirm what is the Current System BP Flow and where it can be fitted in SAP. Then you can think how to Modify SAP. And one more thing is Like you will be able to update the transactions done from External system to SAP System once the Flow is Proper and Necessary settings done in SAP.

Thanks,

Shiva

Hi Shiva, The master data flow is CRM->ERP1 and then ERP1 will send it to ->ERP2 .

ERP1 will be sending through the BPs to ERP2 for new and delta. Is there a standard method todo so, as you have for CRM to ERP.

Thanks

Why dont you use Uploading for All Master data and Transactional Data so that it would be useful for you. It Reduces time since you would be having Templates.

Thanks,

Hi Shiva, ERP2 will be used to make payments and ERP1 will be utilized to calculate the payment. So ones the payment is done thru erp2 the payment details needs to be send back.

we are thinking of using an interface to replicate the master data and then the payment data..

uploads will not serve the purpose here. what do u think.

In this case Make use of Process Integration Consultant. He will ask ABAPer to write SPROXies for Relevant Transactions and Will Trigger Corresponding IDOC's Accordingly.

Thanks,

ThanksShiva, we will look into it.. also

We have a requirement where CRM service or work order needs to be send to the SRM system as shopping cart.

have u done this scenario or can you direct me to the correct direction.

We run exact this scenario CRM->ERP1 and then ERP1 will distribute it to numerous other ERP systems

From ERP to ERP we use ALE distribution based on change pointers.

Jurgen, Thanks for the response. Please can you share your experience on how you went about deploying this requirement. Likewise the message types etc.

thanks

We created our own smaller IDOCs based on the standard IDOCs DEBMAS (customer master) and CREMAS (vendor master) because we only distribute "global" data (our own definition of global data - e.g. complete address and tax fields, payment data; classification;  but no fax or telephone numbers)

Here we defined a serialization group, that holds e.g. CREMAS and ADRMAS and CLFMAS

further we activated change pointers for those IDOCs, whenever a change (or creation) is made in the central system a job then distributes this master data to the satellite systems.

Please search SCN, there are many blogs and documents and wikis about ALE and distribution of data between SAP systems

HI Jurgen, I have tried the same however for all the SAP software component the BB documents are not available for eg SRM.

Also I have another query ; can we setup two erp system using middleware setting?

requirement is to transfer BP from ERP1 to ERP2.

Discussion moved from SAP ERP - Logistics Materials Management (SAP MM) to ABAP Connectivity

Hopefully in this forum someone can tell you more about middleware in this scenario.
