Master Data Synchronization in mySAP
ERP 
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
synchronization in ERP is carried out centrally.
For more information, see:
Master Data
Synchronization
Once you have set
up master data synchronization for your objects using the
Synchronization
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:

Master Data Synchronization in mySAP ERP (One Client)
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.

·
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.
