Business Partner numbers not generating in sequence

Hello,
For Business Partners, there are 2 Groupings maintained i.e. 1 for External Party and 1 for Employees. For both the groupings, internal number assignment has been maintained in T code BUCF. Also, "Define Groupings and Assign Number Ranges" has been assigned the relevant Group with the Number Range and the radio button for "Int.Std.Grping" is NOT checked.
The issue faced is that while creating Business Partners, the BP numbers are not generated sequentially, For e.g if First BP number is 30000000, 30000001, then the next number generated is 30000010, 30000020, 30000021, 30000030..
Not really sure why this would happen. There are no separate customer created in these account groups directly in FI.
Also, when my Last BP number is 30000030 in T code BP (SEARCH - BP - NUMBER), my Number range shows 30000039 as the "Current Number"
Request your suggestions.
Thanks,
Murtuza.

Hi,
Please go to TCode SNRO and check if the buffering is active for object BU_PARTNER.
If yes, you should disable it to have a sequential numbering.
Go to Edit menu - set up buffering - no buffering

Business Partner can not was created in a hire

Hi, Good night.
I have the following issue. I am check an employees that was hired with earlier date to the current date and not generated Bussiness partner. I understant that the system not create the business partner when the employees are hire to future date.

Hello,
Please check if infotype 6 (addresses) is maintained for the employee. If not maintain a record for address and try.
Also, what are the infotypes that you create for an employee during hire?

Missing Business Partner Numbers

Dear all,
we are facing situation, that within 7.0 in Trx PPOMA_BBP, business partner numbers are not created for Organizational Units when created manually. The assignement of Business Partner numbers works e.g. replicating plants.
Is this a known bug? Any insight?
Cheers,
Claudia

Hi
Are address data are filled correctly country region code/ phone no. mail id in the org structure. specific format postal code phone no too.
even system validating all address/ phone fields/mail address.
if everything is ok. check no range for bp internal and manually create some bp via manabe bp via bp.
then we can narrow down where the exact problem.

Err while confrm Business partner does not exist (Notification E R1 201)

I am for the first time into CRM serv implementation.I have 2 issues. Please provide your valuable suggestions at the earliest.
I raised a serv order, released items, confirmed it and changed the status to complete. now when i try to raise an invoice, in billing due list, serv order num is showin up but not confirmation number. Billing relevance in item category for
service item in Serv order ---> Order related billing acc to order quantity
confirmation item category--> Transaction related billing after completion.
The reason i expect is that i have used a crm employee as employee responsible as HR is not yet in place. At the time of confirmation and data transfer to r/3 system is throwing a message that BP doesnot exist. Long text is as follows
"Business partner does not exist (Notification E R1 201)"
I am unable to trace out which BP is it unable to find. The Sold to i am using is on the other hand available in R/3.
1) Is service confirmation incomplete and hence is not appearing in Billing due list or is there any other reason?
2) How can i analyse which BP number is not avilable. i.e.. how can i check the contents of bdoc system is sending and because of which value of BP is the transfer getting stopped

Kiran

Hi
The link is not working.
The contents of the message is as follows
follow all the following steps
Setting up Transfer of Employee (HR Master) from R/3 to CRM
1. Logical system XXX assigned to R/3 client XXX. Logical system YYY assigned to CRM client YYY view through SCC4
2. Create RFC Destination YYY for CRM client YYY in R/3 and
Server ID with user details and client YYY.
3. Transaction code SALE : Application Link Enabling (ALE)  Modelling and Implementing Business Processes  Maintain Distribution Model and Distribute Views. (Direct transaction code : BD64)
Go to change mode and select Create Model view.
You get a popup. Fill in the details Technical name, short text and validity
Select Add message type from the application tool bar.
Fill in the following details
Model view : HRCRM
Sender logical system : XXX
Receiver logical system : YYY
Message type : HRMD_ABA
Note : Only this message type works for employee transfer.
4.Save the model. From the same screen select the distribution model and from the menu Environment  Generate partner profiles
Dont change anything in the next screen. Simply Execute.
4.Distribute the distribution model HRCRM
Select the distribution model. From the menu bar, Edit  Model View  Distribute
You get a dialog showing the receiver logical system. Execute.
You get a log Model view HRCRM has been created in target system YYY
5.Go to the CRM system and check up whether this model has been created.
Transaction code BD64
The model has got copied. No changes can be made in CRM
6. Generate partner profiles for the distribution model in CRM by selecting
Environment  Generate partner profiles.
In the next screen, do not make any changes and Execute.
Partner profiles can be seen in transaction WE20
Delta Download Settings
7. So far, the above settings will ensure the initial download. However for any changes / new employees to be transferred, i.e delta changes, changes pointers need to be activated.
In R/3, Transaction code SALE, Application Link Enabling (ALE)  Modelling and Implementing Business Processes  Master Data Distribution  Replication of Modified Data  Activate Change Pointers Generally (BD61)
This activates change pointers globally for all message types.
8. In R/3, Transaction code SALE, Application Link Enabling (ALE)  Modelling and Implementing Business Processes  Master Data Distribution  Replication of Modified Data  Activate Change Pointers for Message Types
Activate change pointer for message type HRMD_ABA
9. CRM : Number Assignments. Generally, there are 3 types of number assignments (also called switches) when business partners are created.
1 The system uses the number from the general internal interval of the number
range object BU_PARTNER
2 The system uses the number from a specific internal interval of the object
3 The number is transferred from HR and a prefix is added. In this case, a specific external interval, which must be defined as XX00000000 (upto
XX99999999), is used (where XX denotes any two letters).
The number range object for all switch positions is BU_PARTNER, with the interval depending on the switch value.
For switch value 1, the system uses the internal standard interval, otherwise for switch values 2 and 3 you must also create a grouping (transaction BUC2) for these intervals. For the system to be able to connect the grouping and the number range interval, the name of the grouping must be exactly the same as the name of the corresponding number range interval (the name of the grouping is contained in the first column of the table). If you select 3 (HRALX/PNUMB = 3) for the number assignment of busienss partners of the employee role, create HRALX/PSUBG switch manually in table T77S0.
In table T77S0, HRALX/ONUMB is used to set the number assignment for organizational units and HRALX/PNUMB is used to set the number assignment for employees.
Create a number range ZZ
Transaction code BUC2. Create a grouping of the same ID as that of the number range. Eg. Number range ID : ZZ and grouping ID should also be ZZ
In table T77S0, maintain the following combinations
HRALX-PNUMB = 2
HRALX-PSUBG = ZZ
10. Make the following customizing changes in CRM
Transaction code SM30 : Table T77S0
Group Sem Abbr Value Abbr
HRALX HRAC X Activate HR Integration with CRM
HRALX OBPON ON Activate integration between Business partners and Org Units
HRALX PBPON ON Integration between business partners and employees
HRALX OPROL BUP004 Role definition for org unit Business partner
HRALX PPROL BUP003 Role definition for Employee Business partner
HRALX ONUMB 1 Number range assignment for org units
HRALX PNUMB 2 Number range assignment for Employees
HRALX PSUBG ZZ Number range grouping only if PNUMB is not 1.
11. Create Employee Master in R/3. Employee master consists of Infotypes. The mandatory infotypes are Actions, Address, Personal data and Organizational Assignment. You can ignore the remaining. Click on next and dont save the other infotypes.
Transaction code : PA30
12. In R/3 Initial Download : SE38 RHALEINI
Plan version : 01
Object type : P Person (always)
Object ID : Employee ID eg. 1
Receiver Partner no. : YYY
Select further details
You get all the data transfer details
13. In CRM, transaction code PP01 View HR Master objects
You see that the employee 1 has got transferred. To see the corresponding business partner go to the infotype Relationships (the first row)
Screen 2 gives you the business partner ID in CRM

"Business Partner Does Not Exist" SUS admin user registration

We are currently using SUS.
After business partner is transfered from EBP to SUS via XI, an email is generated to the vendor with a registration ID that allows him/her to use SRMSUS_SELFREG to register an admin user for that company.
When the user registers based on the auto-generated registration ID, the screen outputs "Business Partner Does Not Exist".
I am very stuck at this stage and can't find more places for an error log or any leads.
Please help.

Hi Derek Xu
I saw your message about the problem and hope you have solved the problem, I would like to ask you a help to solve a problem that I have.
I am configuring the SUS-EBP on version 5.5 they are in the same client, and my process must rum as follow:
Acepted vendors can be transfered from EBP to SUS in this moment the vendor must receive an e-mail with user and password to acces the SUS and create a user .
The problem is e-mails are not generated and I think the URLs in img Make Settings for Business Partners:
URL for UM I have doubt about what is the correct URL
URL for Notification I have doubt about what is the correct URL
Could you send me an example of these URLs
Thanks

Synchronization from vendor to business partner is not active?

Hi there
I am busy performing data migration of business partners and vendor accounts and have hit an issue on the last step of linking the uploaded BP to the uploaded Vendor.
On execution of the transaction FLBPC2 (Link Vendor to Business Partner), it issues the error "CVIV_UI015 Synchronization from vendor to business partner is not active" which I believe is a product error because:
1. I have configured BP to a new internal number range (and all other config requirements)
2. I have configured a new Vendor account group with an external number range which is a duplicate of 1. above
3. I have enabled BP to Vendor synchronisation in "Master Data Synchronisation" (from BP to VENDOR).
I have tested my configuration successfully by creating a business partner via transaction BP and extending him to a vendor in a company code perfectly (works like a charm).
My data migration process includes:
- Creating a business partner using BAPI BUSISB990/FSCREATEFROMDATA.
- Creating a vendor using the external number given above using a recording of FK01.
- Linking the two using a recording of transaction FLBPC2 (Link Vendor to Business Partner).
I am not trying to synchonise a business partner from vendor, but to synchronise the vendor via the business partner (which works using transaction BP) when the issue is received.
Any ideas as to why I cannot do the operation manually which works via automation and why the error is not appriate?
Regards
Joe

Good morning,
I had a similar problem and solved by disabling
the integration of the PI / XI of the PPO.
To make sure that the PPO is working properly.
You can check this setting by BUPA_CALL_FU transaction.
Checks if the items are BUPA_OUTBOUND_MAIN and BUPA_OUTBOUND_REL
integration of the disabled for PI / XI, according to the objects you need to be replicated.
If they are uncheck them and rerun your tests.
Use MDS_PPO2 the transaction log to check the copy of BP
to the Vendor.
I hope it helps, Good luck,

HI
We have a error in the BUPA_MAIN Bdoc for only one customer that "Business partner is not a person". What could be reason for this? How this can be rectified?
Thanks

Hello Varun,
If you want to have as contact Person for relationship XXXX as well organization , that could be an issue. Because in standard it is only forseen that Persons can be assigned as Contact Persons. There for you have to create a Z-Relationship type.
A Group can have a Contact PERSON, but no Contact ORGANIZATION. As stated in standard it is not possible to have an Organization as Contact Person.
thanks

BAPI_BUPA_CENTRAL_CHANGE: Business partner does not exist

Hello,
I'm trying to change a business partner, which I created with BAPI_BUPA_CREATE_FROM_DATA.
But I get the error message "Business partner does not exist"
I do following:
1. create the BP with the BAPI_BUPA_CREATE_FROM_DATA
get the BUSINESSPATNER- number
2. fire BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT.
In the SAP-GUI transaction BUP3 I can see my BP, ok
3. I try to change this BP with BAPI_BUPA_CENTRAL_CHANGE
and I get an error "Business partner does not exist"
Why?
I'm using JCO, I used to set BUSINESSPARTNER with and without leading zero - it doesn't work.
Can some one give me an advice?
Thanks,
Sergej Berg

Hi,
The "VALID_DATE" should be set to the date of execution (at least this is what I'm doing in my system).
If you execute it via SE37 you can give it in the format of DDMMYYYY, but if you are testing an IDOC via WE19 you have to give it in the format of YYYYMMDD.
Enjoy,
Ayal.

Error R1201 "Business partner ### does not exist" with new contact person

Hi,
We have configured CVI masterdata synchronization for Customer<->BP and this is working well for customer masters without contact persons.
However, when we try to add a contact person to an existing customer (or synchronize an existing Customer with contact persons) we get the error message R1201 "Business partner ### does not exist".
I have checked the wiki.
We are able to manually create a Person with role BUP001 (Contact Person) and link it to the BP with relationship cat TBUR001 (Is Contact Person For). Here the synchronization BP->Customer seems to be working, as the new contact person is successfully created in the Customer.
Any ideas why we cannot synchronize Contact Persons, Customer->BP?
Thanks in advance,
JJ23

Hi James,
may i know if you had find a solution for this.

Error R1201 Business Partner does not exist (Treasury)

Please could you help.
I have created a Treasury Business Partner using transaction BPC1. When I display using BPC3, the partner exists.
I then create the Transaction Authorisations using TBI6.
However when I try to create a transaction e.g. through TX01, the error message says "R1201 Business Partner does not exist"
Any ideas or advice would be much much much appreciated, and points awarded accordingly.
Thanks in advance

The transaction code to Maintain Business partner is BP. I am not sure in which version you are.
When you create a BP it creates inthe role of Business Partner - Gen - 000000.
In order to create a transaction using a BP, they should exist in the role of Counterparty - TR0151. But since you say that you have maintained TBI6, then I thinkyou should have the BP in the role of counterparty. SO I am not sure what is wrong. If you can send screen shots, I can help.

Sequence numbers not generated sequentially?

Our situation: We have encountered an issue with our database, where it appears that a sequence has generated a number out of sequence, that is, to fill in a gap left previously. That is, in the affected table, we have records like:
Seq No Date (DD/MM/YY)
1 29/12/08
2 29/12/08
3 4/1/09
4 29/12/08
The code that actually updates the database is from a third party, so I am unable to prove the following, but the vendor assures me that:
1. The sequence numbers are generated using "select message_number.nextval from dual".
2. The Date column is not modified after the record is created. ( Nor is it supposed to be )
The sequence is created by "CREATE SEQUENCE MESSAGE_NUMBER START WITH 10000000 INCREMENT BY 1 MINVALUE 10000000 CACHE 20 NOCYCLE NOORDER"
This was detected only yesterday, after the event, and is very uncommon ( I have not found another instance, but there are over 7,000,000 records, so I haven't performed an exhaustive search). We are relying on the sequence numbers always being generated sequentially, as in each message_number.nextval is greater than the previous one.
I don't think that the date change was due to a user accidentaly changing the date. Related records to '3' are also dated 4/1/09, there is no facility for a user to change the date outside of accessing the database directly, and even the developers do not have write access to this database.
My questions:
1. Is this normal behaviour for a sequence? To go back and fill in a gap like this? If so we'll have to change one of the assumptions of one of our modules.
2. Should the sequence be defined with 'ORDER' rather than 'NOORDER' to stop this?
3. Could this be a bug in the sequence number generation? We are using Oracle 9.2.0.1.0.
4. Is this situation "impossible", and therefore there is a bug in the vendor library that we need to track down.
Thanks for your help,
Wayne.

maybe some user prepared a new record. Then went to some new years eve party and when he came back at the begining of next year he commited the data (record send to database, database is adding date column by some trigger...).

Keeping Business Partner numbering same in ECC and GTS

Hi Experts,
Does anyone have experience on projects/clients where the Numbering for Customers/vendor in ECC and the related Business Partner in GTS is same?
For an example: Customer# 12345, BP#12345 in ECC.
In GTS: BP# 12345.
We are planning to use MDG system for Master data distribution across systems. I believed it is possible to keep the Numbering same just like we do in SRM.
But on checking further in detail, I feel it is not possible in standard. Can someone provide their inputs on if this can be achieved with standard setup.
On checking the code in GTS, I can see Number range group in GTS is determined in FM BUP_CHECK_GROUPING. This FM uses Internal numbering always when there is no BP# is sent from ECC for the Customer/Vendor#. Only if the BP# is sent, system will look for external number range.
In ECC, the standard code is always keeping BP# and Numbering grouping as blank/space in FM /SAPSLL/DEBMAS_1006_MAP_R3. Which means standard SAP doesn't allow keeping BP Numbers sync'd in ECC and GTS.
So, I am not sure if this is possible with standard setup. Can someone confirm please?
If not possible, I will look for enhancements.
Thanks in advance!!!
Regards
Dhilipan

Hi Dhilipan,
I briefly checked the program code. In the API1006_HEAD structure, field BPARTNER is transferred to GTS with value <SPACE> (hard-coded in Function Module /SAPSLL/DEBMAS_1006_MAP_R3), and I think that might be the field you'd need to use.
From what I can see, that field is used as the Partner Number in GTS if it is filled; otherwise field EXTERN_NO is used. So it would be worth a try (in debug) to fill the BPARTNER field (max. 10 characters) and see what happens.
I'm not sure how the Number Range is assigned - it could involve some "profiles", or perhaps be a nice surprise. I'm sure you'll have fun in finding out: do please let us know.
Regards,
Dave

Partner Profile not Generated

hi! all
Generating the Partner Profile Using BD64
while generating received the message in Green for parameters: Partner (Sender, Receiver); Port (Zport); Outbound Parameter(Zsender).
while checking in WE20 - Partner Profile ; Profile has been generated for the Reciver System with the created message type and port in Outbound parameter. But not generates the Inbound parameter.
As like Profile has not generated for the Sender system.
While testing the idoc using WE19 it says Profile not generated for Sender system
whats the mistake i have done. How to correct it.
Regards,
Kv

Hello,
The distribution model view for which you are generating the partner profile (PP) check the sending & receiving logical systems (LS).
if you want to generate the PP with inbound params you have to assign the your own LS as the receiver & not the sender.
BR,
Suhas
PS: If this bothers you too much maintain the inbound params manually in WE20

What all need to be done to be able to staff?
Thanks all.

Hi,
In order to use Business partnesr as resources in cPorjects, create BP with role "Employee"
You can use Transaction BP for the same.
