Some Question About SRM

[Former Member]

Hi experts!

I am very new to SAP so I wonder if you all able to answer some of my questions and doubts here.

1. I have attempt to upload 2 similar attachment with the same name under bid response and strangely it was successful. I wonder if there is anyway I can prevent the users from doing so? A validation Like probably an alert pop up? This is over the web interface btw.

2. We are updating the product master from a r/3 daily by batch using XML. We will send any updates from the material and service master to the SRM to update the product master. So I wonder wat kind of FM or Bapi can i use to merge the Service and Material master into the product master? Do note tis is done daily.

I will generously reward those who can give me something helpful. hope to hear from u all sooN!

Cheers

Hi Chee,

2. If I understand yr requirement correctly, what you are looking at is delta download for matl/ service masters, which is a standard function for SRM.

For this you need to maintain the tables as per the note 720819.

maintain filters in R3AC1 (if required)

create a request in R3AR2.

and schedule this request as a background job in R3AR4 with desired frequency.

This will update the masters in SRM periodically.

(of course yr other settings should be as per config guide.)

Hi Dinesh!

Well apparently we are not integrated with a R/3 system. correct me if I am wrong but this solution cannot be applicable to me...

Our SRM is standalone and it has to interface with another system (R/3 based) to receive material and service master (likely in the form of XML) daily.

So yup this is the scenario... Do u or anyone have any suggestions?

Hi,

1.You can use the badi "BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI" to put any checks before attaching the documents.The table "ET_ATTACH" is used to store the attachments.

2.The objects for MATERIAL/SERVICE are different.Why do you want to merge these?

Thanks Disha! I will look into BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI. ")

Well agree but product master contains both Material and Service as well no? If there are any changes to the R/3 System, we will update the corresponding record in Product Master in SRM. Thats the requirement... Anyways say for if I want to do it for Material master alone and update to the Product master by XML files, what can I use (BAPI, FM ect) to update the fields in product master?

Do let me noe....
