Component documentation Master Data Synchronization in mySAP ERP Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Purpose

In order for the Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) application to run as add-on in a mySAP ERP environment, it is necessary to synchronize master data objects within this platform, that are similar from a business point of view, yet technically different.

Master data objects on ERP and SRM side that need to be synchronized

ERP (SAP ECC*)

Integration

Master data synchronization in ERP is carried out centrally.
For more information, see: Structure linkMaster Data Synchronization

Once you have set up master data synchronization for your objects using the Structure linkSynchronization Cockpit, and after initial data synchronization and key mapping has been completed, delta reports that run in the background ensure that master data is always matched.

The individual configuration steps are described in the IMG:
Supplier Relationship Management 
®  SRM Server  ®  Master Data ®  Master Data Synchronization in mySAP ERP (One Client)

 

Features

This function ensures that changes (create, change, delete) that are made to objects on one side cause immediate (bidirectional) update to the same objects on the other side. In this way, SRM and ECC data is permanently synchronized.

 

Note

·         Purchasing organizations are not included in the automatic bidirectional master data synchronization and, as is also the case with mySAP SRM, have to be matched manually or via an update report (ECC -> SRM).
Replication (and the updates) from plant (MM) to business partner location (SRM) only occurs in one direction with the report BBP_LOCATIONS_GET_FROM_SYSTEM that is executed manually.

·         Where SAP Supplier Self-Services (SUS) runs together with mySAP SRM on one ERP platform, master data synchronization occurs as described above. If SUS runs separately of ERP, SAP NetWeaver XI is used to synchronize master data with SRM.
