SRM7.0MDM3.0: Transfer Vendor ID from Catalog to SRM failed

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

In MDM 3.0 Catalog the Vendor-ID is available in an item. When choosing this item in SC and transfering the SC from Catalog to SRM 7.0 the Vendor-ID is lost.

Which setting might be missing here?

Thank you

check if the OCI mappings for this field is there :

NEW_ITEM-VENDOR[n] -- > SRM vendor number (business partner) for an item

in the UI config section (OCI mappings)

if its there then the Vendor id is surely transferred and check in the Supplier to see if the correct Vendor for the same is picked up

(not the ID but the corresponding name should be displayed)

thanks

Hi Adrivit,

I checked in OCI-Mapping and it is correct.

NEW_ITEM-VENDOR is mapped to Suulier-Supplier ID

It is still the same error.

Where to assign the Vendor-ID (SRM) and the Vendor-ID (ERP) as they have different numbers?

ThanX

oh oh !

wait a sec .. this is a bigger issue .. nothin to do with MDM

ideally you should have the same Vendor Number in ERP and SRM and MDM (all)

as vendor list are created in ERP , then replicated in SRM and MDM

why are the vendor number diff in ERP and SRM ??

anyways :

check in MDM , which Vendor ID is there ?? SRM or ERP ???

1. if its SRM Vendor ID : then that OCI mapping is enough to send the data back to SRM and the correct Vendor name should be shown in SRM SC

2. if its ERP Vendor ID : then that one is sent back to SRM SC and SRM doesnt know which Supplier to map it to (as its ERP number)

ideally this should throw an error in SC ?

thanks

Hi,

acutally the problem was solved by sap note 1571694 -Vendor ignored when transfering from Cat to SRM.

Thanks

Hi,

Previous problem has been solved by applying sap-note 1571694 (venodr-ID is ignored during data transfer from catalog to SRM).

A new issue now:

Replication ov Vendors from ERP to SRM is performed.

But there is no possibility for assinging the Backend to the Vendor-Record in Portal.

In Portal: SRM-Administration => external BP => select a vendor record.

Assignment to Backend System is empty. What is missing here?

Thanks

Hi Isam,

Once you have replicated your vendors from ECC to SRM, then why do you again want to assign them to a backend system?
