Hi,

We maintain Business System Group in APO IMG.

IMG >> SCM Basis >>Integration >> Basic Settings for Creating the System Landscape >> Maintai n Business System Group

In this IMG activity, we determine the assignment to a business system group of this system and the ERP systems that are to be connected. By doing this, you create areas with the same naming conventions. These guarantee that the same names are used for master data and also their synchronization in distributed system landscapes.

In addition to the ERP systems, this system too must be assigned to a business system group (BSG) as an independent logical system.

Proedure :

u2022 Choose New Entries.

u2022 On the New Entries: Overview screen, specify the following information for the business system group:

o An alphanumerical key (maximum of 10 characters).

o A description of your choice

u2022 Save your entries.

Example :

An SCM System is to be connected with the two ERP systems A and B in which two different materials (for example a hammer and a screw), have the same material number (100). The two materials are to be represented as two different products in the SCM system.

Assign The two ERP systems to different BSGs. Assign the SCM system to one of the two BSGs.

u2022 ERP system A (material number 100 = hammer) -> BSG A

u2022 ERP system A (material number 100 = screw) -> BSG B

u2022 SCM system -> BSG A

Hope this gives you insight.

Regards
