Prerequisites

SAP Note 1454367 has been applied and the SRM-MDM Catalog repository (extraction of currencies, units of measure, product groups, and purchasing organizations) has been initialized.

Activities

The SAP ERP system transfers the values of the following fields:
- Material number
- Material/service group
- Price
- Order unit
- Planned delivery time
- Vendor number
- Contract number and contract item number
- Number of purchasing info record
- Purchasing organization
The SRM-MDM Catalog stores contract prices per catalog item together with the contract ID, the amount, and the contract item category (normal or product category).

Using the transaction MECCM in the SAP ERP system, you replicate the supplier and material information from contract items or PIRs to the SRM-MDM Catalog repository.
