Hi,
We have a requirment for "Replication of Vendor master from SRM to backend".
Is it possible to do so.If not then please tell me why.
If yes, how to go ahead with it from ABAP perspective.
I have seen the reverse process of replication of data from backend to SRM working fine.
Please comment on this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Nil
I have taken this from the SRM documentation :
As of SAP SRM 5.0 you can use the supplier registration functions for procurement with ERP also
(without SAP Enterprise Buyer).
Suppliers can register themselves and have questionnaires sent to them for their selected
product categories.
As a purchaser you can accept or reject registered suppliers.
You transfer accepted suppliers into the procurement system (ERP) manually. A monitor is provided in
the supplier registration system for assistance.
The business partner ID of these suppliers is sent by ERP via the SAP Exchange Infrastructure to the
registration system. The supplier receives an e-mail with log-on information for the supplier registration
system. The supplier can change his/her own data and the changes are shown in the business partner
monitor. As the purchaser, you can use a specific symbol in the monitor to trigger automatic updating of
the master data in ERP.
Kind regards,
Yann

Hi,
this is even available since SRM 4.0.
Changes are screened in SRM, but must be reapplied manually in R/3, and then you can delete corresponding line in SRM monitor.
SRM 5.0 brings few enhancements:
- replicated suppliers (i.e. created in R/3 and replicated to SRM) that have been modified in SUS/SRM can be updated in R/3 via XI. This is an UPDATE message. No create message.
- this is a semi-automatic process: changes are screened in SRM, and the purchaser decides to send them to R/3 or not (because not all the customer might be happy about automatic update of vendor master data in backend systems).
Look at function BBP_PARTNER_SEND that could be reused also in create mode in your case (create mode is used for SUS synchronisation of vendors).

Hi Nil,
In fact the data model for vendors is not the same in SRM and R/3.
The only process designed by SAP in SRM is, as you mentioned, the replication of R/3 vendors to SRM.
If you want to implement the reverse process (replication from SRM to R/3), you'll have to design and develop it yourself.
NB: You may have a look in SRM at the program ROS_SEND_UPD_VENDOR2CAT that allows you to create a 'Source of Supply' catalogue (see help here <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm50/helpdata/en/cf/35074152aff323e10000000a155106/content.htm">Supplier Directory</a>) That can be a good start for vendor export from SRM.

Hi Nil,
SRM supplier data can be found in table VENMAP and BUT000 :
1- Copy the partner GUID in table VENMAP
2- Use the GUID in table BUTOOO to access supplier data.
Kind regards,
Yann
