Vendor replication and exchange documents from SRM to SUS (using PI)

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

We are implementing scenario plan driven procurement with suppllier collaboration on SRM 7.0.

Our architecture involve:

A server machine with SRM 7.0 (SRM server and SUS components both in this machine)

A server machine with Netweaver PI 7.0

A server machine with EP 7.0

A server machine with SAP R/3 4.6C

Now we are working on vendor replication process in order to carry out vendors from R/3 to SUS (on portal enviroment) and we made following steps:

- Replication of vendor from R/3 to SRM by mean tx BBPGETVD: OK

- Replication of vendor from SRM to SUS (on portal enviroment) by mean tx BBP_SP_SUPP_INI:

In this step we put the BP (created with tx BBPGETVD) on field "Supplier" but we obtained the Message no. BBP_XP004

"No vendor allowed for vendor portal"

So we want to know, in connection with mentioned architecture, the way to perform this activity in order to replicate the suppliers in SUS.

Is possible perform activities related to exchange documents (by mean Netweaver PI) between SRM and SUS (as necessary for our implementation scenario) if these mentioned components are installed and configured on the same phisical server machine?

What is the best recommendation about installation of SRM and SUS? A unique server machine or separated server machines?

Is there any inconvenience or technical reason having SRM and SUS in the same server machine?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Horacio

Thank you again Nikhil,

Thinking in two clients, one for SRM and the other for SUS/ROS, I have some aspects to ask about Middleware (customizing objects and material/service masters).

Since in MM-SUS scenario the PO is sended from MM only to SUS to be confirmed and invoiced there; Is neccesary transfer via middleware cust. objects and material/service masters to SRM and/or SUS/ROS?

We believe is not neccesary because we sent a PO with a material item to SUS and it was created OK, but we have doubts about if those master data are necessary in SRM.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

No, middleware customisation is not needed for SUS.
