Standalone installation of SRM

[former_member184214]

Hello,

truly standalone installation of SRM system. Without FI backend system.

Mostly for bidding/contract negotiation. process will be started by end user, contract part by purchaser. If we enter invoice without backend what will happen?

Is that possible? What are the implications?

TIA

While Invoicing, system look for FI docs like GL, Costcenter etc which are not there so only Purchase postings will take place and no FI postings as mentioned by Yann earlier.

Yes,

I do not fill comfortable with such solution but need to investigate possibilities.

As financial posting is not so relevant, which is only at the moment, and later probably required I am against it but customer asks.

Hello, exactly, we used the customizing of backend system in IMG, the mapping was done using Business Connector 4.6c, it was 2002 and XI was not available yet.

Hello, we have an environment that works like you described.

I have defined an FI backend of type 'non SAP system' , this system receives calls for a few FM, NOR3_COMPANYCODE_GETDETAIL NOR3_COMPANYCODE_GETLIST....

After these calls SRM allow you to post an invoice and it even create a BBPIV IDOC.

We mapped this IDOC onto a flat file and we send it to the real 'non SAP system' in order to get payed.

Let me know if you need further informations.

Regards, Luciano.

Hello Luciano,

I undestand what you are doing.

Defining FI backend you mean in IMG "Define backend system"?

How did you mapped IDOC into the flat file, XI or something else?

Hi Gordan,

Well, i guess that only the "purchasing" part of the invoice is ok.

But no financial and controlling document and payment of course...

Kind regards,

Yann
