Hello Balaguruswamy,
Thanks for the post and I have below queries on SLP to MDG-S / ERP integration for Supplier request.
Case 1: If we are using MDG-S as hub type and wanted to integrate Ariba SLP to MDG-S and then to ERP. In this case CIG Addon on ERP system and above mentioned Business partner function activation in MDG-S are enough ? No CIG addon or any other table maintenance is required in MDG-S for SLP ? Basically its not clear from Guides that what to do in MDG and in EPRs. Please comment.
Case 2: If we dont want to have MDG-S in middle of SLP and ERP , can we just add CIG Addon in ERP and activation Business partners above is enough in EPR to create the SLP interfaces ?
Hello guys,
This scenario works as well with S4HANA? In the graph you mentioned SAP MDG / SAP ECC, just want to be clear. We want to install MDG as AddOn and integrate with Ariba, we found there is another scenario but is MDG as a HUB. Your input will be appreciate.
Best Regards
