One SRM integrated with multiple Backends

[Former Member]

Hi All

Can One SRM be integrated with multiple Backends?

If so any insights, documentation, pros-cons that can you all can share?

Does the version of SRM or ECC matter?

SRM version will be 7.0 and ECC 6 EP3.

Thanks,

Gamad

Hi Gamad,

multiple backend systems for one SRM is normal and works fine.

You just need to connect the systems, replicate the materials/vendors you would like to use and maintain the SRM customizing:

1) Add the further backend system(s):

-> Supplier Relationship Management -> SRM Server -> Technical Basic Settings -> Define Backend Systems

2) Define the scenario/follow-on document creation for the product categories

-> Supplier Relationship Management -> SRM Server -> Technical Basic Settings -> Define Backend System for Product Category

3) Define the scenario/follow-on document creation for the product categories

-> Supplier Relationship Management -> SRM Server -> Cross-Application Basic Settings -> Define Objects in Backend System (Purch. Reqs, Reservations, Purch. Orders)

Regards,

Peter
