change in backend system

[Former Member]

Hi SRM Gurus,

Project Scenario is ECC5 as backend system integrated with SRM 4.0( SSP scenario and with Catalog CCM2.0)

Implementation scenario is Extended classic.

Backend system will be changed to ECC6 from ECC 5.0 with company code consolidation.

ECC6 is installed on separate server for implementing changes in FI (separate Dev, QA, Prod environment ) and will be integrated with SRM4.0

Question is that when we integrate SRM4.0 with ECC6, do we need to run transaction BDLS to change logical system name in SRM for backend system?

As all product categories and vendor are same in ECC 6.0 will this work.

Also there is GUID reference in table CRMLSSGUID & CRMPRLS in R3. How this will be taken care.

Option 2:

no need to run BDLS in SRM. We need to define new backend system and replicate all master data (product categories, UOM & vendor master) from ECC6 to SRM4.0.

SRM experts, please suggest as for me option 2 is suitable way.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi SRM experts,

In Org structure Product categories will be maintained with Source system (new backend system) in extended attributes. Also for vendors new backend system maintained in attributes.

With these settings user will able to see the product categories, vendors pertaining to New backend system.

Please share your views.

Hi Khan,

Thanks for your reply.

Is there impact on CCM as there will be replicated vendors and product categories from new backend system.

Will user see 2 entries for each vendor, product category. Can you please share information on this.

it is better to replicate all the master data from the new system which you are using.this way you can be 100% sure that the new data will work.

it is also possible to change the backend system using the BDLS transaction , but i am not 100% sure of how the system will behave in such case.
