SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) gives enterprises a tool for goods procurement through a web-based platform. It also integrates with SAP enterprise resource planning (ERP) or other management systems to share vital information with accounting and project managers.
However, SAP SRM is a mature solution, used by businesses since 2002, and SAP SRM end of life is scheduled for 2027. Although users may be able to use SAP SRM as they transition to SAP S/4 HANA if they are running the tool on a separate server, SAP SRM end of life is approaching in the not-to-distant future.
You can keep operating as you are, at least until 2027. You may even be able to transition to SAP S/4 HANA or another modern or cloud environment. However, you will still have to address SAP SRM end of life when it is no longer supported. Future security vulnerabilities won’t be patched if they’re discovered, and functionality and performance may decline.
SAP offers the option of using Ariba Buying, entering data via the Ariba catalog for purchase requisitions and purchase orders to be executed in S/4. This requires a license for SAP Ariba, however, in addition to other SAP solutions you use.
