Dear Expert,
We are writing for asking your advice on SAP SRM integration.
When customer has implemented SAP ERP/Non-SAP/SAP MDM system, what is SAP’s suggestion on SRM master data replication solution as original software manufacturer:
From SAP MDM using PI or from SAP ERP using Middleware and RFC?
The general situation of this customer which we need give technical proposal recently:
- This is a big enterprise having about 20 branches.
- They built an central SAP MDM system in the headquarter.
- They implemented SAP ERP and Non-SAP ERP in different branches.
- The implemented SAP MDM is just manage 4 companies’ master data now but planned to roll-out to all of the branches.
- MDM is the master data management center(Control: Master data application, Workflow & distribution ) in the 4 companies which MDM was implemented.
- There is only basic view data of material in the SAP MDM.
- There is no purchase organization data of vendor in the SAP MDM.
What is the better way of the master data synchronization we suppose to use in this case? a. MDM->ERP->SRM b. MDM->ERP & MDM->SRM?
If you have document explaining the standard design of integration or system architecture between SAP ERP-SAP SRM-SAP MDM, please feel free to share with us!
Your kind assistance on this are very much appreciated!
