In this Customizing activity, you activate the integration of your SAP ERP system with a connected SAP Sourcing system, and define basic settings for communication between SAP ERP and SAP Sourcing. You define the vendor for data transfer to SAP Sourcing and enter text types for storing the document numbers of SAP Sourcing requests for proposal (RFPs) and master agreements in your SAP ERP purchasing documents.
Requirements
You have created a standard vendor.
You have defined the following text types in Customizing for Materials Management under Purchasing:
Text type for purchase requisition texts under Purchasing -> Purchase Requisition -> Texts for Purchase Requisitions -> Define Text Types.
Text type for purchase order item texts under Purchase Order -> Texts for Purchase Orders -> Define Text Types for Item Texts.
Text type for RFQ item texts under Purchasing -> RFQ/Quotation -> Texts for RFQs/Quotations -> Define Text Types for Item Texts.

Activities
Define a vendor for data transfer to SAP Sourcing. By entering the vendor, you activate the integration of your SAP ERP system with a connected SAP Sourcing system. The vendor defined here acts as the recipient of the RFQ IDoc in the system. When a user in SAP ERP saves an RFQ to this vendor, the RFQ is sent to the SAP Sourcing system for sourcing. When defining your partner profile, you enter the vendor ID specified here as the partner number for message type REQUOTE. From the SAP Easy Access screen, you do this by choosing Tools -> ALE -> ALE Administration -> Runtime Settings -> Partner Profiles.
Enter the relevant text types in the Reference to SAP Sourcing Request for Proposal and Reference to SAP Sourcing Master Agreement boxes. The system writes the document numbers of the RFPs and master agreements created in SAP Sourcing to the item texts of the relevant SAP ERP purchasing documents.
Enter one or more account groups for vendors from SAP Sourcing that are published in SAP ERP. Vendors that were created in SAP Sourcing and are sent to SAP ERP via standard IDoc (CREMAS) should be assigned to one of the account groups entered here. To do this, ensure that one of the account groups entered here is also used in SAP Sourcing when publishing vendors. You can use account groups with internal number assignment and also account groups with external number assignment. The special account groups enable the system to make additional checks on inbound processing of the IDoc. Furthermore, they serve as a selection criteria, and enable you to search for SAP Sourcing vendors whose vendor master data you want to review and complete in SAP ERP. Once master data processing is completed, you change the account group of the vendor.
Activate the update of an interface log If you set this indicator, the system records the data that SAP Sourcing sends synchronously. This data enables you to analyze any problems that have occurred in system communication. To do this, use report BBP_ES_ANALYSE_RFC_CALLS.
