Answer: A,B

Explanation:

All master data is available locally in the SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) system. This data includes, for example, product master records, business partner master records, and product categories. You copy the master data from the back-end system to SAP SRM.

In SAP SRM, both materials and services are stored as products. However, you can distinguish materials from services by the product type.

Product categories correspond to material groups in the SAP back-end system.

If the SAP SRM system communicates with an SAP back-end system, the length of the product ID is restricted to a maximum of 18 characters.

This should be the case even if the products are created locally, and not replicated from the back-end system. If you assign a product ID with more than 18 characters, a different number (with a maximum of 18 characters) has to be assigned in the back-end system.
