CRM based Business Partner Reporting for Retailers

Hello,
has anyone build a Business Partner Reporting based on CRM Data?
We want to report roles, relations, marketing etc.
What is the basic datamodel you use? Do you save Data in ODS using InfoSet or do you use InfoCubes or else?
At the moment we use ODS and InfoSet but we are facing timeouts and performance problems when there are too many business partners chosen.
Thanks in advance!
Angelika

Hi!
you have to use ODS objects for loading data into BW no alternative available.
I think you have to solve performance problems by fine tuning the system or by changing the datamodel.

E-Recruiting 6.0: Business Partner Role For Branches

Hi Experts,
In the IMG, SAP E-Recruiting > Basic Settings > Enterprise Structure > Define Business Partner Role for Branches
Can anyone help in the following:
1) What is the purpose of Business Partner Role and how does it relate the Branches? Or how can i make use of it?
2) If i am going to maintain the Company & Branches via the Administrator function instead of IMG, do I still need to configure this step: Define Business Partner Role for Branches
Thanks. Will reward points for any helpful tips.
William

Hello William,
the Business Partner is an application / module which belongs to the base components of the SAP. It is used and partly extended by various other applications / modules. Next to E-Recruiting it is used for example by CRM and the financial service solution (FS-CS, FS-PM, FS-RI). All of these modules can put their data for a person or an organization into the same tables. Depending on the installation / system environment or even within one single module the requirements for available fields and business checks as on authorization differ between kinds of business partners (e.g. in FS-CS the commission solution for the financial service sector knows external agents and internal employees which have to be treated differently). The business partner is the element to assign the logical / business role in which a person is handled by the system.
For E-Recruiting you have 2 kinds of business partners, too. On the one and there are people being candidates and on the other hand there are branches of your company which hire people. The configuration allows you to seperate them if you need to identify anywhen which business partner is a branch and which is a candidate. So far I never tried if this is really working as there is no real use for this I never set it up. The attributes and the business checks are the same anyways.
Hope that helps a bit to understand the context
Best Regards
Roman Weise
PS: please remember that you have to maintain the branches via administrator bsp application. Using the IMG entry won't work.

Initial Load of IS-U business partners to CRM - wrong business partner cat

Hi Gurus,
when donwloading CUSTOMER_MAIN from R/3 to CRM
Where is determined that the business partner in CRM should be created in the business partner category 'Person'?
We have the problem that all our business partners in CRM are now 'Organizations' (but were sold-to-parties in R/3 with account group DEBI)
PIDE - setting is:
R/3 account group DEBI ---> classisifaction 'B' ('Customer')
In the customizing of the business partner roles for the role type CRM000 (and for all the others) Organization, Person and Group is all allowed by default.
The download itself and the number ranges work fine.

The reason for the problem is unknown but a workaround is to first initial load BUPA_MAIN instead of CUSTOMER_MAIN, then the right business partner category is taken by the system

Can I use one Business Partner repository for Vendor and Customer?

Can I use one Business Partner repository for Vendor and Customer? or do we have to use Vendor and Customer Repository separately. How can we do that? What are the pros and cons? can any one provide some examples:

Hi Deepak
The key purpose of SAP "enabling" the facility of multiple main tables in a repository is to primarily "manage" those master data objects that are related to each other. Typical examples will be a) Customer - Material, b) Supplier - Material, etc.
While, it is pretty easy to add multiple main tables in a repository, it is also important to understand the purpose of doing so based on the business requirements.
Besides, you got to be aware that in case you are "fixing" any issues with one main table (master data object) for which you have to unload the repository, the users will not be able to use the repository that has a main table defined for other master data object. Hence, there are pros and cons of using this capability of multiple main tables.
So, it is really important to understand the "W's" - What, Why, When, Where, Who of Data modeling before actually working on the "H" - How to in the SAP MDM tool.
Hope this helps.

Function modules in CRM (read Business Partner attributes)

Hi,
I would like to print a document in wich will be Business Partner attributes and other crmdata. Does anybody know how I can read the Business Partner marketing attributes. Can I use for this some function modules or else?
Are there some documentations about all Function modules in CRM and what they do?
Thanks,
Malnor

Hi Malnor,
Marketing attributes of a BP can be found in table AUSP.
You can build your own custom function module to read marketing attributes.
Refer to the link below for sample code of a FM to read BP marketing attributes -

Default Ageing Business Partner Report PLD by Busines Partner Type

Hi Experts!
I am hoping you can help me with a PLD query I have.
I have two PLDs setup for the Business Partner Ageing Reports.
One PLD is for Debtors and contains a text field showing 'Debtor' and the other PLD is for the Creditors and contains a text field showing 'Creditor'.
When the Customer Receivables Ageing report is required, the PLD containing 'Debtor' has to be selected, and when the Supplier Liabilities Ageing report is required, the PLD containing 'Creditor' has to be is selected.
My idea was to set the 'Creditor' PLD to all the Supplier Business Partners and the 'Debtors' PLD to the Customer Business Partners, thus eliminating the need to select a PLD each time.
But when I go to the PLD and select set as default, I don't have the option to set by Business Partner, the only option I have is to set the PLD by User.
Can you help me on this one please?
Many thanks!
Caroline

Hi,
It is not possible for USER Default Print method for Aging Report.
it is possible only for Marketing and Banking Document.
It is possible on PLD but it is not possible in Page Header on Aging Report PLD.
Try this,
->> Open the Aging Report PLD.
for example,
BP Code Field ID in Repetitive Area -> F_110
->> Create 1 formula Field in Repetitive Area Header and put the below formula in that field.
ex. Field ID -> F_160
Substring(F_110,0,1)=='C'
ex. Field ID -> F_161
->> Create 1 formula Field in Repetitive Area Header and put the below formula in that field.
Substring(F_110,0,1)=='V'
->> Create 1 TEXT Field in Repetitive Area Header and type the below text(for Title).
->> Assign Link to Option in General Tab on Properties Window.
Customer Aging Report
Link to - F_160
->> Create 1 TEXT Field in Repetitive Area Header and type the below text(for Title).
Vendor Aging Report
Link to - F_161
Save and Run the Print Preview.

CRM employee (business partner) & org unit extraction question

Hi all,
I have a question regarding extracting business partner and org unit in CRM. Basically user wants to report on employee level and org unit level.
When I looked at the org unit hierarchy datasource (0BBP_ORGUNIT_HR01_HIER), it does not include the employee. I also tried the DS 0BP_UNAME_ORGUNIT_ATTR, but that does not give me the org unit of an employee.
Any hint is highly appreciated.
Best regards,
Ben

HI
Try this DS 0CRM_POSITION_ATTR,here u will get the org.unit,but u need to add the users (employees) in the data source.

CRM BDT Business Partner

Hello,
how is it possible to read the information of the BP Dynpro when creating one. I´ve created an own function module. In the BUS7 I´ve set this one in the event DSAVE. How can I get now the data from the dynpro, e.g. postal code?
Thanx for replying
Andreas

Hi Siggi,
thanks for your reply. I´ve used the funtion module, but it´s not working.
Let me explain the problem again.
I´m in the transaction BP of the CRM and want to create a Business Partner. In the transaction BUS7 I have the opportunity to call an own function module at special events. For example at the event DSAVE. My own funtion module will be called if I´m creating a Business Partner. The problem I have is that I cannot read the data of which made in the transaction. The function modules you can use don´t support any interface. I just have to read one field. The postal code, but i don´t know how to do it.
Best regards
Andreas

Business Partner Report and table???

Can anyone tell me if there is a standard report/program that shows all the business partners in a report format? I am trying to get a list of all the business partners created in collections management so that I can compare it with the customer master records and figure out what customers were left out.
Also, what is the table or is there a table where business partner master data is held. E.g KNA1 is for customers.

Hi,
The BP table is BUT000. There is no comparison table that tells you which customers are linked to which business partner. There is a CVI link table but that contains GUID.
Alternatively you can use the log of the program that sends the open items to collections management. That log will tell you what BP are not synchronized.

Richard

Business Partner creation for Customer Master creation

Hi
We have customized our system in order to trigger the creation of Business Partner whenever a Customer Master is created.
I created some customers for which the Business Partner creation was not triggered due to some reason.. In order to manage the same, i created a Business Partner manually and tried to link the same to my customer through T Code FLBPD2, but system returned with a message "The business partner could not be linked to the customer selected" Message Number CVIC_UI023.
Can anyone suggest something.
Thanx in advance
Pankaj

Hi Pankaj,
Please check wether you configured all required node under Master Data Synchronization..In SPRO..I am referring to below node.
Active Synchroniztion Options
Set BP role Category for customer Integration
Define BP Role for direction customer to BP
Field Assignment for customer Integration
Thanks

FSCM-COL Business Partner Creation for Existing Customers

Experts-
After using MDS_LOAD_COCKPIT to create the initial load of Business Partners, there are a few Customers which are still missing Business Partners. Automatic Creation of Business Partners is set up and fully functioning for any new Customers created, however when attempting to use MDS_LOAD_COCKPIT for the existing Customers which are missing Business Partners the error message 'No transfer of interval for object BU_PARTNER' (Message no. NR028) is received.
If the Automatic Creation of Business Partners is working correctly at the time of Customer Master creation, what would prevent the Business Partner from being created after the Customer already exists?
Please let me know if further clarification is needed on what is outlined above.
Thanks and Regards,
Corey

In case someone runs into a similar issue in the future, the resolution to this issue is provided below:
In the case I've highlighted the customer had been created, yet the Business Partner failed to be created in the Automatic Business Partner Creation functionality initially due to a missed Tax Number Category configuration. Once this configuration was complete the BP still failed to create via XD02 or MDS_LOAD_COCKPIT. MDS_PPO2 gave the initial error message as 'Business partner ##1 does not exist' (Message no. R1201).
Although the Customer to BP synchronization setting were set up for an external number range, the presence of contact persons in the Customer Master record were causing SAP to look for grouping data. Since no grouping data was present SAP was attempting to create BPs contact persons using the internal number range, which was already set at its limit.
By removing the contact persons from the customer master via XD02 and then re-executing the MDS_LOAD_COCKPIT, the requested Business Partner was created. After that the contact persons were then re-maintained in the customer master.
