Hi,

Refer similar discussion.

mySAP Supply Chain Management 4.0 Integration and Technology Overview

https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/14ccb290-0201-0010-dab2-e870674c...

See the page no 6 to understand the relation of SCM and PI.

PI is used to integrate the SCM system across various applications.

Thanks

Dear Chandra,

You can Integrate SCM with PI, for the following cases:

1) If you want to send SCM IDoc's to any other SAP R/3 server

2) Send SCM IDoc's to any third party server in receiver specific format ( .xml, Oracle table update, mail, flat file etc)

same way you can use RFC calls to integrate with thirdparty system.

Specifc use will be based on the Business case.

Hi,

From career perceptive SCM and PI are two different technologies.

If you have any plans to go for Functional area then you may think over SCM. But as view of PI consultant there is no much difference that either you go for SCM or CRM ---both are R/3 systems to integrate with proxy, IDOC, RFC etc.

SCM is one of the hot SAP product similar to PI. and there are various integrations available in SCM where the PI knowledge is helpful.

But still I would personally feel as it will not have any direct relation to move from PI to SCM based on technologies. these are two seperate SAP products for different purposes.

Thanks

Hi,

No, it will not give much weightage in terms of SCM for your PI experience. Your PI experience will be only helpful if there are any SCM integrations which is important but very samll part as compare to all the SCM arena and skill sets. Also you will need the domain exposure for SCM.
