Upgarde to SRM 5.0 from 4.0

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We are using SRM 4.0 - ECS scenario and backend is ECC 6.0. Can any one tell me about

1) What are business benefits we will get in SRM 5.0 compared to SRM 4.0

2) We want to know impact of upgradation on open workitems of end users. I mean if we upgrade to SRM 5.0 the open workitems in SRM 4.0 have any impact or changes after upgradation

3) We understand that Vendors will be not be part of Org Structure in SRM 5.0. So If we upgrade to SRM 5.0 those changes will be done to existing Org Structure automatically or not. If not how to do that?

4) Presently we are using P-Card (Custom developed) in SRM 4.0. We heared that in SRM 5.0, P Card comes with standard functionality. Can any one please confirm the same?

5) What are other changes will come by upgrading to SRM 5.0

Points will be rewarded

Thanks,

Naveen
