You use the report Upload of Suppliers from an SAP SRM System (/SRMSMC/GET_SRM_SUPPLIER) to perform an initial upload of supplier master data from your SAP Supplier Relationship Management system (SAP SRM) systems when you first set up the SAP Supplier Lifecycle Management system. You can upload bidders and suppliers from SAP SRM, which are subsequently created with the corresponding roles in the SAP Supplier Lifecycle Management system.

Once you have performed an initial upload, we recommend that you maintain new supplier master data in the SAP Supplier Lifecycle Management system only and distribute this data to the relevant back-end systems. For more information, see Transfer of Suppliers to an SAP SRM System.
