SRM & R/3

[Former Member]

Hi SRM Experts,

The following is the process we can use in SUS scenarios.

1 Create a purchase requistion in r3 mm

2 create a purchase order with respect to purchase requisition in r3 mm

3 create a purcashe order response to the purchase order in SUS by the suppliers.

4 Create an ASN by suppliers intimating that the goods hae been supplied and are on the transit in SUS.

When an ASN is created in SUS it Automaticlly creates inbound delivery in R3.

5 Create a GR aginst ASN. in r3

6 create a invoice in R3 or SUS

Can all this be done in SRM with out a R/3? Need your views.

Any inputs that might throw more light on this topic would be of great help.

Thanks & Regards,

Jai Shankar.

Hi Jai shankar,

In SRM you have a flexibility for extended classic or classic scenario i.e.

1. Create a PR - this can happen in R/3 as well as EBP

2. Create a PO- this can happen in R/3 as well as EBP

3. Create a PO responce - this will happen in SUS only

4. Create an ASN - this will happen in SUS only

5. Create GR - this can happen in R/3 and EBP as well

6. Creat Invoice - this can happen in R/3 and EBP both

7. FI postings - this will happen in R/3 only

I have tried to give you total picture.

You need to understand the business requirements and system design for this

Hi Dinesh,

Thanks for sharing ur expertise. Can you pls explain the last 2 steps. Creation of Invoice in EBP and doing the FI postings in R/3? Do I need to transfer the data from EBP to R/3 via XI?(If not what happens there?)

Thanks & Regards,

Jai Shankar.

Hi Jai,

Again to give you total picture:

You can create an invoice in EBP (on behalf of vendor),

in SUS (supplier makes himself), in R/3 (on behalf of vendor as ERS evaluated receipt settlement).

When you make invoice in R/3-

Obiviously there is no need to transfer and invoice gets attached to PO or SA

When you make invoice in EBP-

Since EBP is considered as an internal system the connection is via BAPI and the invoice can be replicated in R/3 without XI

When you make invoice in SUS -

SUS being external system, by system design only accepts and generates XML message and to convert the same to IDOC .... XI becomes mandatory.

Hi Dinesh,

As far as i know, EBP invoice is sent to R/3 through IDOCs.

Kind regards,

Dinesh,

<i> EBP is considered as an internal system, SUS being external system,</i>

I have a SRM server. Now is EBP a part of SRM server and SUS a seperate server?

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Jai,

As far as I know EBP is always a part of SRM Server and SUS is also a part of SRM server but SUS is specifically meant for External Vendors, so its keept in the same box of an SRM Server but treate as a seprate system for vendor and connected to EBP via XML only.

If it helps please award the point.

As per my understanding SUS can be used for PO responses, Invoice, etc in following 2 scenarios.

1. SUS with EBP in Extended classic scenario - In this PO will be resided in SRM system and SUS is integrated with SRM. PO response will be done in SUS and get updated in SRM PO.

2. SUS with bakend R/3 MM - In this PO resides in R/3 MM(may be Classic scenario where Po gets created in backend system or may be no EBP where procurement will be done in R/3 MM only). SUS will be integrated with MM and PO response will be done in SUS. Same will be updated in R/3 PO. In

Check your business scenario requirementa and decide accordingly.

PS : Reward points if it is helpful to you.

Hi all,

this sounds interesting.

I have a question concerning the Evaluated Receipt settlement (ERS) in EBP.

We are using Report BBPERS

Invoice is settled in SRM and be transfered to R/3 FI by IDOC (BBPIV01)

Besides that we are using the PPF (PostProcessingFramework) and we send an Email with the data of the credit note to the vendor.

Now we want to send a xml file with the data of the credit note as well to the vendor.

SRM Standard does not support this feature for ERS, am I right?

Any ideas how to implement this feature in the standard BBPERS report?

One idea could be

- distribute the standard IDOC BBPIV01 to the vendor as well (if it contains sufficient data)

Any other ideas?

Thanks

Regards

Dear All

we wan to implement ECS for some product categories with BAdI and not by activating Extended Classic scenario in SPRO. SUS is connected with SRM.

Now how will the " SUS confirmation " and "SUS Invoice" flow from SUS->EBP->ERP?

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

Hi,

When confirmation/Invoice is posted from SUS to SRM it treates SRM as local system so all the posting will happen in SRM which then gets replicated to ERP.

Hi Pritesh

The GR and Invoice from SUS to EBP doesn't get replicated automatically in ERP .

Could you check again and confirm?

If possible I could also give you a call...

Thanks, Best regards
