You use this function to transfer product, contract, and supplier data from SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SAP SRM) to the SRM-MDM Catalog repository using the MDM Import Manager.

Prerequisites

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

  • To ensure that changes to a product such as price, availability, and so on are updated when a new SRM document is being created, the field NEW_ITEM-EXT_PRODUCT_ID must be filled with the catalog database key of the product when the product is transferred for the first time from the product catalog to the SRM server system. The flag Validate Product Data from SAP ERP must be set for the relevant catalog.

  • To include price scales, discounts, and discount scales in your catalog data, contract data must be enriched. For more information, see SAP Solution Manager under    <project name>   Scenarios   SAP SRM <release>   Catalog Content Management   Business Processes   Managing Product Content in SRM-MDM Catalog   Enrich Catalog Data.  

  • To transfer additional data together with a contract, such as price scales, discounts, and discount scales, the standard implementation of Business Add-In (BAdI), BBP_SAPXML1_OUT_BADI must be modified. The BAdI is available in the Customizing for SAP Supplier Relationship Management:   SAP Supplier Relationship Management → SRM Server   Business Add-Ins (BAdIs)   SAP XML Interfaces   Change SAP XML Outbound Mapping   (BBP_SAPXML1_OUT_BADI).  

    Each time a user selects items from the catalog, adds them to the shopping cart, and posts the purchase order, this BAdI updates contract data in the SAP SRM system.
