Why each option
To generate chargeback reports in System Center 2012 R2 Service Manager, Operations Manager must have the VMM management packs installed so it can collect virtual machine usage metrics that feed into Service Manager chargeback reporting.
Copying the management pack files from the VMM server to the Operations Manager server enables Operations Manager to discover and monitor VMM-managed virtual machines, collecting the resource usage data that Service Manager requires to generate chargeback reports for cloud tenants. Without these management packs on the Operations Manager server, the monitoring and data collection pipeline for chargeback does not function.
The VMM management packs reside on the VMM server, not on the Service Manager management server, so copying from Service Manager to Operations Manager would not supply the correct management pack files.
VMM does not consume management packs for chargeback purposes - the correct data collection layer is Operations Manager, making a copy destination of VMM incorrect.
The data flow requires management packs to move from VMM to Operations Manager, not the reverse direction; copying from Operations Manager to VMM provides no benefit for chargeback reporting.
