Hello,
As I'm pretty new in the SAP world (just passed my EBP 5.0 certifcation), I hope someone can help me with the following:
What are the benefits and differences of SRM contract management compared to contract management in MM?
Many thanks!
Jennifer

Thanks for your reply Dinesh. I already found the info of this link, but it doesn't clarify my question to me. It does provide info regarding contract management in SRM. Do you have working experience with both SRM and MM? If so what benefits/differences do you experience. I can't imagine that the possibilities of both modules are equal.
Kind Regards,
Jennifer
Hi Jennifer,
EBP contracts are used extensively in the sourcing application. When price determination comes into picture, these are selected first. This can also be used during requesting temp labor. All the MM function are available, release orders can be created. Release doc is saved. One imp thing is, you have a chance to work with version controls that can also be linked to workflow and can also be compared at any time to find the status.
Alert events can be triggered from BW via workflow..
Also you have a chance to work with GOA.
Any many more...
Let me know if you need more info..
BTW MM sourcing is very limited. Very difficult to trace the overrun.
Jennifer,
The Value and Quantity based contract functionality is similar in SRM and MM. In SRM provides the functionality to maintain contracts centrally and distribute to the multiple backend systems where they can be call-offs. Both Local contracts and Scheduling Agreements can be generated via the GOA.
Additionally, if u might be interested in reviewing the True Contract Management functionality in SRM which provides Document and article management. I would advise you to login to asug.com and download the Contract Management presentation from this year's annual asug conference. It provides detailed informaiton on SRM Contract Management.

Hi Alok,
Sorry to say that I haven't got sample certifcation questions. I do have 2 tips:
- Keep an eye on your time, because the time (1 hour) is very short! 40 questions, of which almost every question consist of 5 statements (true/false)
- A lot of technical questions. So make sure you know a lot of ITS, RFC, BADI, ALE, Idoc, BAPI, Workflows et cetera
Besides that (you probably already got this info) see the link
https://websmp103.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/011000358700002714572005E
for the certification topics. It has been very helpful to me.
Kind regards,
Jennifer
