Hi Experts,
Please suggest for SLC Deployment best approach, with pros & cons. We came across below scenarios, but not sure which scenario combinations of Buy side and Sell side is best and recommended :-
Supported Deployment Modes for the Buy Side of SAP Supplier Lifecycle Management
Supported Deployment Modes for the Sell Side of SAP Supplier Lifecycle Management

Hi Gaurav
This is a case specific question and since you have not mentioned much details its difficult to comment Also note there are no pros and cons .. they are 2 different options which should be looked at in discussion with the client as well as taking into consideration the existing system landscape
Check the below link and it explains all scenarios mentioned above as well as a mixed scenario as well ..
https://websmp207.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/012002523100011490632014E
However the inital decision should be based on answering the following questions
1. Which system is upto date for installation of SLM
2. incase of SRM the netweaver portal seamlessly integrates to SLM
3. What are the specific tasks which needs to be taken care of like ..
If SAP Supplier Lifecycle Management is deployed on SAP SRM configured as a SUS instance, the integration with SUS is also supported.
For SAP Supplier Relationship Management back-end systems connected to SAP Supplier Lifecycle
Management 2.0, the following component is mandatory
Integration Component for SAP Supplier Lifecycle Management SRM Back-End System 1.0 SP08
SMCSRMIT 100 SP08
For SAP ERP back-end systems connected to SAP Supplier Lifecycle Management 2.0, the following
component is mandatory
Integration Component for SAP Supplier Lifecycle Management ERP Back-End System 1.0 SP08
SMCERPIT 100 SP08
let me know if that helps !!

Thanks Vinita, for sharing the points to let me get some insight in the same.
I went through many docs for the same and still exploring on more to see cons if we decide to implement it fully on ECC side,
as SLC on buy side we have already implemented in earlier projects on SRM side and Sell Side on SUS.
95% of customers go for SLC@SRM.
As Vinita pointed out, the integration is very easy.
SRM can also utilize the many addresses that SLC allows users to save - in ECC you will only have one address replicated (without MDG).
Also SRM is less critical than ERP, from a performance as well as from a maintenace point of view.
Additionally suppliers will be available in SRM as soon as you create them, and available as bidders as soon as you tick the bidder flag in the supplier portfolio - no distribution needed.
In SLC there are still plenty of SAP Notes and new functionalities. This is a potential thread to your ECC implementation.
Hi,
We are planning to implement SAP SLM with SAP SRM 7.0
I understand SAP SLM have two components.
1) Buy Side
2) Sell Side
Buy Side - We can implement with SAP SRM
But for the Sell Side :- Do we have to have SUS in place or can be implemented without SUS also.
As in our current landscape we are not planning to implement SAP SUS.
Please advice how to implement SAP SLM (Buy and Sell Side) with SAP SRM
Any helpful idea or approach would be appreciated..
Best Regards,
VM
Hi, here you go: This is the official SLM 2.2 Master Guide with different deployment strategies described.
Hi Bond,
I am not so deep into the SAP Basis Technology (but I thought ITS is now integrated into the WebAS ABAP?).
However, you don't need to run SLC in a portal environment, the sell-side (for suppliers) is made of BSP pages, the buy-side (purchasers side) uses WebDynpros, which you can run in a NWBC environment, also. Portal is not required but possible.
Hi Atul,
As shared by other spocs, Enterprise Portal is not mandatory for SLC and can be accessed via NWBC on Buy Side & Sell Side on BSP.
But if you are having SRM & SLC both, then using Enterprise Portal is going to benefit you on easy & quick mechanism to control roles, access & iview displays as per client needs. You can split Portal roles as per need of business users & segregate as desired.
