Dear All,

Could someone please give pros and cons of this solution?

Hi Vijay

SAP ERP 6.0 with SAP SRM in one client with SAP ERP does not support any multiple-backend functions or hub deployment for procurement


* Upgrade or migration from an existing (separate) SAP SRM system to SAP ERP 6.0 with SAP SRM in one client on SAP ERP is not supported.


* SAP does not offer migration paths from a SAP SRM one client installation to an installation with a standalone SAP SRM system.


* The extended classic deployment mode is not supported.

For more information seesap note 963000

Hi,

Here are my view points on SRM and ECC one client deployment: The decison to have one client for SRM and ECC is more driven by the business model of the client and functionalities one need out of SRM .Following points needs to considered before deployment:

1) ERP and SRM as an add-on does not support any multiple-backend functions or hub deployment for procurement.

2) Upgrade or migration from SRM system to ERP with SRM as add-on is not supported

3) Strategic sourcing scenarios in SRM are not used by clients with such deployments

4) Although SRM is running on the same client as ECC the purchasing organization have to be maintained in both MM and SRM system

5) From HR Orgstructure stand point there is no additional benifit in same client deployment as compared to seperate deployment

6) From Security stand point its better to have a seperate client for SRM-vendor registration as this functionality is exposed to outside world and internet.

7) Master Data Synchronization is a positive point which is only available within the SRM Add-on deployment with ECC

😎 For SRM and ECC (seperate) master data management remains asynchronous and unidirectional

Thanks

Thanks for clarification.

Could you tell me what the system landscape looks like in this case? Do you mean that it is not possible to migrate from SRM as add-on to normal SRM or is it the othet way round?

Anyone has som emore info on this?
