Hi,

One Global SRM (Ver 5.0) and two R/3 systems as back-end in extended classic scenario.

Did anyone do it before ?

Do you see any 'Major' problem with this scenario ?

Please help

Hi

We are currently running on SRM4.0 (as central purchasing platform for indirects) and 8 backend R3 systems in extended classic.

No problems...

HI All,

I am appearing for SRM Certification so that my level of knowledge is equivalent to a beginner.

My question here is how is it decided to which backend system the documents are to be posted?

Do we need to define in the extended attributes?

Hi Yash,

The backend system is determined per product category.. "Define backend system per product category" in customizing SPRO, or you have more control by implementing the method DETERMINE_EXTPO in the BAdI BBP_EXTLOCALPO_BADI.

Please award points.

Hi

We are on SRM 5.0 Server 5.5 and 2 back-ends systems: 4.6c and 4.7

According to our scenario we have following situation:

GOA created on SRM for certain categories and replication after approval to back-ends

GOA created on SRM for others categories and approved + Purchase requisition referred to GOA and Purchase Order always on SRM: contract approved and PO approved replicated to Back ends.

Currently what is requested is having on SRM a different categories then on back-ends.

Based on your experience is it possible to manage a local SRM categories and link them to products replicated from both backends? and what happen when the contracts and purchase orders will be replicated from SRM to back-ends?

Also I have a question about number ranges: how you have to define the documents on SRM (contracts and POs) and related number ranges considering that we have to deal with different back-ends? Which steps should we follow in order to replicate the documents with the same number to back-end 1 for certain categories and to back-end 2 for others categories?

thanks in advance
