Recommended book on EBP

[Former Member]

Hi all,

Got to know about you through your valuable inputs in Knowledge management regarding SRM. Currently I am working on SRM 5.0 Configuration. I am trying to replicate vendor and material data from IDES R/3 system. However, when I employ the transaction "BBPGETVD" for getting the vendor data, the system does not identify the vendor root organization I have created. I have put in all the needed attributes settings for the vendor root thru the transaction "PPOMA_BBP"..

Regarding the material download, are there a sequence of pre-requisite steps which I would need to employ to replicate the data from R/3?

I am also looking for the EBP configuration guide (latest). Can anyone tell me any recommended book on this?

Regards,

Hi Sonali,

In SRM5.0, YOU NEED TO CREATE A SEPERATE ROOT ORGANIZATION for VENDOR in PPOCV_BBP.

After creating vendor root organization.

Run: BBPGETVD, this will ask for org.unit, put the org.unit of ROOT VENDOR.

Then you can see your vendor in PPOMV_BBP.

Before replication pls ensure vendors are not blocked in R/3, and IMP. you have maintained Purchasing data for that vendor in R/3.

Best Regards,

Refer the below links for vendor and material replication.

you have to use Tx PPOMV_BBP for vendor root.
