Integration of MDM with SRM

[Former Member]

We have SRM 5.0 being integrated with MDM5.5 for catalog management.

The business requirement is to have some relationship between catalog items like Bill of Materials, Sales Kits, Substitutes and Related Items etc. which MDM2.0 suports.

We would like to take these items to SRM shopping cart with their relationship intact and the dependency among the items is not disturbed by the requester/approver of the shopping cart.

However, we notice that the items with relation ship like Kit are broght from MDM to the Shopping cart in SRM, these items are broken down to each single line item and allows the requester to change these items. This is not ensuring the relationship among the items.

Fro Example: A Kit in MDM contains 10 items. But when it is brought to SRM shopping cart, these items become 10 line items and requester is able to delete / change the quantity, price etc.

Can anyone can help me how to ahcieve the functionality.

Following are being used by us:

MDM 5.5 SP5; SRM 5.0

Understand finally that integritiy of Kit functionality of MDM2.0 cannot be transfered to SRM5.0. The integrity is lost soon it is transfered. Hope to get the functionality in SRM7.0.

Hi Rao,

I think you might have more luck with getting an answer if you were to copy this posting into the MDM specific forums.

Cheers,

Mike.
