Hi all,

Has anyone implemented de-coupled scenario of SRM with ECS and standalone? Can you please share your experience particularly points to consider and don’t dos? We have implemented ECS in North America and are in the process of jump starting our global rollout with SRM standalone.

Thanks in advance,

Rajesh

Hi

I do not think you should have any problems with decoupled scenario.

You (and your users) should be clear of the scenarios in which you use ECS and where you use 'Standalone'.

Hi Ramki,

Thanks for your response!

Some of the questions I have are as follows:

1. Do we create vendor masters directly in SRM? Or do we need to create in financial system and replicate them to SRM?

2. How can we create company code and plant in SRM directly?

3. Is there any way to control list of product categories during shopping cart creation by technical scenarios based on requestor’s country or region?

Thanks again,

Rajesh

Hi Rajesh,

In continuation to what Ramki has suggested also look at the following points which will address your queries :

1. You can create Vendors in SRM using Manage Business Partners link but these vendors need to be linked to a back end vendor for the Accounting part.This linkage has to be done under the Vendor Tab.

You can have vendors replicated from back end. In such a case the stand alone P.Org needs to be assigned to those vendors using Manage Business Partners link under Vendor tab.

2. In the already created Org structure for stand alone you need to create only Stand alone P.Org and P.Group as plant doesn't have any relevance here. The function tab for P.Org and P.Group has to be blank.

3. You can control the list of product categories for which the user is responsible by maintaining only those required in the Extended Attributes of the user under Product categories.

Hope this makes you more clear. Clarifications are welcome.
