Multiple SRM and single ECC in landscape

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have a requirement where we need to implement SRM 7 in one region (so that we are able use the new features) and continue with SRM 4 for the other regions. Both the SRM systems will connect to the single ECC 5 system in the landscape.

Has anyone implemented a similar scenario where multiple SRM systems are connected to one ECC system

What are the problems that one will encounter.

Self service procurement, Supplier self services and strategic sourcing are the scenarios that are currently configured.

Contract management may be used in the future

Any suggestion / idea will be greatful

Thanks

Venkat

Hi Venkat,

yes, it's possible to link the same ECC backend system to different SRM systems (with different releases). We have also a scenario like this.

The only problem what comes up to my mind is, that you need to take care about the number ranges (as the PO, RS... number ranges are from the point of view external numbers).

Thanks Peter

Are you able to download delta material requests automatically to both the SRM systems.

Hi Venkat,

yes, the sync. is triggered by the SRM system(s) via a job, therefore it's no problem for the ECC with several SRM system.
