Dear SRM Gurus

Is there any SOA webservice to directly use the Vendors in SRM from ECC?

Can you check the link as below

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm702/helpdata/EN/45/efc057348a3112e10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm

In the link it its mentioned 

"Supplier master records are created in the SRM Server system. If a supplier in the master data record is flagged as a portal supplier, an XML message is sent to supplier self-services.The supplier data is transferred to the Business Partner Change Monitor (SRM Server) and can be transferred manually from there to the SAP ERP system."

Ideally the below steps are followed .

1.  Supplier registers in SUS (Supplier system) as a Potential Supplier.

2.  Purchaser logs into Pre-Select Supplier. Approves the potential Supplier.

3.  Supplier replicated to ECC via XI thru XML/Idoc(CREMAS)

4.  Buyer updates Vendor in ECC with other info like Bank etc in ECC.

5. Vendor Replicated to SRM through BBP_VENDOR_SYNC/BBPGETVD/BBPUPDVD

6. Vendor updated as a Portal Supplier in SRM and other follow-on doc attributes.

7. Vendor replicated to SUS via XI.

This ensures the vendor master is in sync in all the systems involved.

This supplier master from SRM can not be replicated to ERP. There is no standard interface for that.

You may have to develop a custom interface for this for creation of CREMAS/ CREMAS05 Idoc in ECC.

However from SUS you can create the supplier in ECC using from Supplier Pre-selection.
