Configuration in R/3

R/3 Table Updates

CRMCONSUM and CRMSUBTAB

For an SRM system, you set the middleware parameters in the OLTP system. If a "CRM" consumer entry for a CRM system has already been entered in the table CRMCONSUM in the OLTP system, the system ignores an additional consumer entry ("SRM", for example). The additional required settings are described in this note.

If you correctly implement these settings, another consumer ("SRM", for example) can exist in addition to the "CRM" consumer. You can then determine the RFC destination entry in the table CRMRFCPAR for the "SRM" consumer, instead of for the "CRM" consumer.

Make the following entries for your new consumer in the table CRMCONSUM in the R/3 system:

o CONSUMER = SRM (for example)

o AKTIV = X

o TEXT = SRM Consumer (for example)

o Q_PREFIX = R3A

Copy the following entries into the table CRMSUBTAB in the OLTP system:

o CONSUMER = CRM, OBJCLASS = MATERIAL

o CONSUMER = CRM, OBJCLASS = CUSTOMIZING

o CONSUMER = CRM, OBJCLASS = SERVICE_MASTER

When you copy an entry, only change the CONSUMER entry that refers to the consumer name that

you created ("SRM", for example in table CRMCONSUM).

Configurations in SRM

Site Definitions in SRM using Transaction SMOEAC

The sending and receiving systems are defined here for master data as sites. The site for receiving system is preconfigured and delivered as CRM. Therefore only the sending system need to be configured.

SMOFPARSFA

Make the following entry in SRM table SMOFPARSFA

Master Data Transfer Monitoring

R3AM1 Monitor Objects in SRM

R3AM1 is the transaction used for monitoring the master data replication from R/3 to SRM. This replication

SMQ1- - Outbound Queue in ECC

If for any reason, there is no status found for data transfer in monitor load objects in SRM, then check the outbound queue in ECC using transaction SMQ1. Check the queues which are sending data to SRM system



2010 SAP AG 8

Check the Items failed and stuck in the respective queue. .



2010 SAP AG 9

SMQ2 Inbound Queue in SRM



2010 SAP AG 10

On displaying the queue details, you will see the first qRFC in failed status and all other follow on items waiting for this item to be cleared.

BDoc Monitorng can be done using SMW01 explained in next steps. SLG1 logs will also show the details of the error occurred here shown in the queue.

Try to get into the details of this failed item in the queue. Reprocess it if possible. This LUW can also be processed in Debug mode in order to find out the problem with this record. If it is Ok to proceed without this item, just delete this item in the queue and the system will resume processing the items from next item.

SMW01 Display BDOC messages

This transaction can be used to check the details of the BDOCs which are shown as failed in the previous step. Follow the steps shown in the below screens to look into the details of failed BDocs
