Classic Scenario to Extended Classic Scenario

[pradipkumar_chakraborty2]

Hi friends,

We have a requirement to migrate an existing SRM 5.0 solution from Classic to Extended Classic scenario.

Is there any best practices document available from SAP in this regard? Also what are the things that need to be taken care of in particular? It would be great if some one can share his/her practical experience.

Thanks in advance!

Hello

If it is Plan driven procurement involved, better to go for 'Classic' scenario. Extended classic scenario is best suited for self service procurement of indirect material.(of course both scenario are best for indirect material!)

Now Switching over to Classic ti Extended classic:

1) Technical settings-->Define product categories for backend

Here source sys is ERP backend and the Target sys is SRM client

2) Nu. ranges for Local P.Os

3) In Cross application basic settings, Activate extended Classing Scenario and Backend pur.grp responsible

4) In Define Objects in Backend system(Pur.req, Resrv, P.O)

Ensure no entries are there. Since this step is not required for Extended classic

5) BAdi need to be activated.

Before all these, ensure there is no pending documents/transactions exists. All need to be closed. No open purchase documents!

The best guide for ref. is by Shah Khan.

Hi,

Which scenario, you have implemented..

If Classic, you have list of BADI's to Create Purchasing documents in EBP Itself, for that you need to implement the corresponding BADI'S.

Say for example :

Contract creation you can keep in backend as well as in EBP.

BBP_CTR

BBP_CTR_BE_CREATE

Hi Pradeep,

First of all we need to activate Extended classic scenario and then define number ranges for local POs

,IPC for PO creation in the local SRM and you please go through SAP SRM extended classic cookbook by Shaz Khan you will get all data regarding ECS.

hope this will help you.
