Supplier Registration in SUS vs in SRM

[sap_2605]

Dear SAP gurus,

We are in SRM 7.01 with ECC 6.05. We are planning to use SUS and Supplier Registration via SUS. I'm a bit confused about the data flow in here. If we have ECC, SUS, and SRM at the same time, is my assumption correct?:

1. Vendor register to SUS,

2. After approval, data is transferred from SUS to ECC,

3. After data created in ECC, data is transfer to SRM.

Is this correct? OR when data approved, data is transferred to BOTH ECC and SRM at the same time?

One more thing, one of the user have idea to utilize vendor registration screen as tool to register all vendor (even the non-PO vendor). So in case of non-PO vendor, Finance staff will act as vendor and register the data to SUS. Is this common? Is there a drawback from this approach? In order to make the data flow as seamless as possible they also want the Finance data to be input in the front as well (meaning we need to structure the interface as well).

Appreciate if any of you can give me some advice on this matter.

Best regards,

John

Hi,

Please find below the sequence of vendor registration process.

1. Supplier registers SUS/ROS

2.  Purchaser preselects and transfers the vendor to ECC which created the vendor maser.

3. The vendor is transferred from ECC to SRM.

4. The vendor is transferred to SUS/ROS which maps the VENMAP table.

5. Mail triggers to vendor from SUS with one time user ID and password.

6. Vendor creates actual user ID and start using system

For non PO vendor there is no need of presence in SUS and SRM.

So create vendor directly in ECC and do not transfer to SUS or SRM.

With Regards,
