The system management is a tidious job. The test data plays the critical role in success of any support, development requirement.

There are various tools out of box from SAP (for example client copy) and third party to automate the data setup.

Well, based previous experience these tool needs to be tweaked (many be customised) to suit the organisation needs.

Old story - king had two sons and....

Old story - king had two sons and....king wanted to hand over kingdom.. now who will rule.

SAP SRM RDS / SRM @ ECC ERP

The quickest way to deploy the pre-configured scenarios and minimal user interuption.

SAP SRM - little cloud on your side

SAP SRM can be seamlessly integrated with SAP ECC using various protocols (ALE/IDOC, RFC). Also SAP SRM can talk to various cloud solutions in the market using out of box integration available.

Based on the scenario SAP system can be integrated with SAP Ariba, SAP SLC, SAP CLM and so on.

SAP SRM - attachments and documents (E-nugget)

Any purchasing is not complete without electronic documents being exchanged (word, pdf, excel etc). SAP SRM offers options the documents to be saved on the SAP server or through the directory interface which can be managed on the DMS space.

Although SAP Netweaver provides the higher size attachment upload - this can be constrained by various factors. For example - Email exchange server IN/OUT, network capabilities and local system resources.
Growing documents may not necessarily burden the system response but may increase the data footprint.
As SAP SRM being consumed on various device formats (for example tablet, mobile, desktop) accessing attachments/documents may vary in the requirements.
Some organisation would like to customise this feature to incorporate engineering drawing, internal document sharing capability, masking the documents from certain user group.
