2 Planning
This section of the guide contains important information that you need to read before starting your update or
upgrade process.
2.1 Supported Source Releases
This section provides an overview of the supported upgrade and update paths for SAP Supplier Relationship
Management (SAP SRM).
Before the update or upgrade, your SAP system must have one of the source releases that have been released for
this update or upgrade and apply to all databases.
Caution
If you have to apply Support Packages to your source release shortly before the update or upgrade, check
whether the equivalent Support Package for the target release is already available. Otherwise, this may delay
your update or upgrade schedule.

2.3 Upgrading the Back End
Procedure
Update of the R/3 Plug-In
When you upgrade your SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SAP SRM) application, you must also upgrade
the SAP R/3 Plug-In of your SAP R/3, SAP R/3 Enterprise or SAP ERP Central Component (ECC) back-end
system up to and including SAP ERP 5.0.
You require SAP R/3 Plug-In 2004.1. Always use the highest support package level to keep your back-end system
as up-to-date as possible.
Note
As of SAP ERP Central Component (SAP ECC) 6.0, all integration interfaces previously delivered with the SAP
R/3 Plug-In and all new or extended integration interfaces are no longer delivered with their own add-on (SAP
R/3 Plug-In). Instead, these interfaces are contained directly in SAP ERP ECC.
PI 2004.1 is the final separately delivered SAP R/3 Plug-In release.
For information about the upgrade procedure, see:
● SAP Note 181255
● SAP Plug-In on SAP Service Marketplace at service.sap.com/r3-plug-in
Dependency of SAP SRM with Other SAP Applications
For some SAP SRM business functions, it is mandatory to have a specific SAP ERP release or enhancement
package in your system landscape. You need to check the technical requirements of the business functions you
wish to activate and upgrade your back-end system as needed.
For more information about SAP SRM business function prerequisites, see the SAP Library documentation at
help.sap.com//srm SAP Supplier Relationship Management SAP Enhancement Package 4 for SAP SRM
7.0 Application Help SAP Library SAP Supplier Relationship Management Business Functions and
Customizing Switches .
Some SAP SRM business scenarios or deployment options are also dependent on specific SAP ERP releases or
other SAP applications. You need to check these technical requirements and perform any necessary upgrades.
For more information about SAP SRM business scenarios or deployment options, see the Master Guide SAP
Supplier Relationship Management on the SAP Service Marketplace at service.sap.com/instguides
Installation & Upgrade Guides SAP Business Suite Applications SAP SRM SAP SRM Server 7.14 .
2.4 Restoring UI Variants
● SAP GUI variants
When SAP extends program interfaces to enable new functions, it may occur that you can no longer use or
even display program variants after the upgrade. Therefore a Variant Restore tool is available that saves
variant data and then adjusts them to the new report interfaces (relevant for some SAP GUI-based
Customizing and Monitoring user interfaces).

This tool requires some activities before the upgrade (on the source release) as well as after the upgrade (on
the target release). You have to run the reports RASUVAR1 and RASUVAR2.
● Web Dynpro metadata framework:
You can adapt and expand metadata or define additional fields for Web Dynpro user interfaces in
Customizing for SAP SRM: SRM Server Cross-Application Basic Settings Extensions and Field Control
(Personalization)
2.5 Internet Pricing and Configurator
The Internet Pricing and Configurator (IPC) is part of the software layer SAP Application Platform (SAP AP) 7.0. It
is processed on the ABAP application servers using the Virtual Machine Container (VMC) as runtime environment.
For more information, see SAP Note 844817 .
For information about the upgrade from IPC 4.0 to SAP AP 7.0, see SAP Note844816 .
You can check if you need the IPC for your business scenarios in theMaster Guide for SAP Supplier Relationship
Management 7.14, at service.sap.com/instguides Installation & Upgrade SAP Business Suite
Applications SAP SRM SAP SRM Server 7.14 .
To be able to use the IPC, you must activate the VMC after the upgrade. For more information, see Activating VMC
for the Internet Pricing and Configurator [page 24].
