Hi experts,

I am new to SRM Just started looking Help document. I have a basic doubt in SRM.Actually in help they said.

mySAP SRM is based on the following components:

SAP Bidding Engine

SAP Business Information Warehouse

SAP Enterprise Buyer

SAP Exchange Infrastructure

Hi

SAP Enterprise Buyer is the e-Procurement component of SRM suite. It is the mandatory central component. Remaining components can be activated or installed depending upon the requirements.

According to terminology, till SRM 3.0 version, it is tied to CRM suite. In this version central component (SAP enterprise buyer) is called as BBPCRM4.0(Logical name given to the EBP central component. You can check this in Tx SAINT)

From SRM4.0, SRM has its own relevant middleware structure (still same as CRM middleware). So once you have SRM4.0, you wont see any CRM structure in SPRO. SAP Enterprse buyer is termed as SRM Server 5.0 (logical name) for this.

lly, for SRM5.0 suite, SAP enterprise buyer is SRM server 5.5.
