The Materials are created in ECC and replicated to SRM with their taxcode, unit of M, etc...

If you want your materials specific to SRM systems only then use commpr01 and create some materials. use ppoma_bbp to assign them a purchasing group and etc..

you can create contact persons in the srm portal for the vendor

u can use F4 and F1 help for most of the fields/input in portal.

Configuration of srm are done in srm and they are connected via RFC and also u need to configure XI for the document transfrer..
