Operational sourcing behind-the-firewall (multiple back-end) • This preconfigured process offers you direct integration of SAP SRM as a central hub with deployment on one or multiple back-end SAP ECC applications. The leading system for follow-on documents, like PO and invoice, can be either SAP ECC (classic scenario) or SAP SRM (extended classic scenario).
