SRM 7 - Contract replication from ERP to SRM

[Former Member]

Hi all,

We have SRM 7 and ECC 6.0 and we have a requirement to have contract handling for invoices functionality, in SRM, in order to create invoices with reference to a contract directly.

We want to have ERP system as the central repository for all contracts, meaning that we need to replicate the contracts to SRM, and all the changes made to the contract in ERP side should also be replicated to SRM.

Does anyone know if this scenario can be done as per standard?  And if so, how can we replicate the ERP contracts to SRM and ensure that all the changes made in ERP will be replicated to SRM?

Thanks in advance.

Dear AN

We have the scenario of distributing the contracts to ERP systems from SRM system. However replication of ERP contract to SRM is not a common scenario in the standard.

You can upload the ERP contracts in to SRM but still the update of contracts through ERP is questionable.

Contract Handling invoices for Service procurement enhancements is a standard functionality from SRM7.01 onwards. This is used for Unplannned services, a direct reference to a Contract during invoice entry is available. Invoice is created with ref. to a limit PO / Purchasing Contract.

Dear Krupa,

Thank you for your quick reply.

So we should consider the scenario where SRM is the central repository for the contracts, and all the changes done in SRM should be replicated to ERP.

In this scenario, do you know which steps should be done to allow contract replication from SRM to ERP? I already created a central contract in SRM but there is no message sent to PI.

Thanks in advance.
