why we need crm middleware for material replication?

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

Why we need CRM middleware for material replication from ECC to SRM when we can do the vendor replication from ECC to SRM with ABAP report? IS there any technical limitation?

Thanks and regards,

Hello,

Vendors and locations, for example, you can replicate from ECC to SRM using ABAP reports.

However, if you want to replicate the following information, you should use the middleware:

- DNL-CUST-BASIS3 - Basis CRM online

- DNL-CUST-PROD0 - Material number conversions

- DNL-CUST-PROD1 - Product : categories

- DNL_CUST_SRVMAS - Customizing: Service Master

- MATERIAL - R/3 Material Master

- SERVICE_MASTER - R/3 Service Master

Check note 872533. It provides more information.

Regards,

Ricardo
