User master records

[Former Member]

Hey everybody!

I'm a newbie in the SRM-topic. Do I have to maintain 'user master records' in SRM and in the ERP? If I only maintain in SRM, how is this booked in the Backend-System (without 'user master records')?

Thanks in advance,

Felix

Felix,

It is not mandatory to maintain the same User Master Record in SRM and ERP. The User Master record is maintained in SRM for end users perfoming shopping cart functionality or processing any other request pertaining to SRM. Follow on documents booked in the backend system are created by a background RFC user which facilitates the connection between SRM and the backend system.

Also a User Master record (SU01 User) is maintained in SRM so that this will facilitate the creation on an EBP user. An EBP user consists of the followings objects:

1.) Position

2.) SU01 User

3.) Central Person

4.) Business Partner

The relationship built between these objects creates an EBP user which can perform shopping. These relationships are stored in table HRP1001.

Please assign points, if answer is usefull !!
