Middleware on CRM 7.0 for ERP and CRM sales integration

Hi all,
i am involved in a CRM upgrade project in order to repleace the client current release with CRM 7.0.
currently, my client handles sales integration between ERP and CRM using middleware fucntion and in particular SCENARIO A that allows to create sales orders both in the CRM system and in the R/3 system and to change them mutually in both systems.
my question is: new release 7.0 covers all those included functionalities by default without implementing this scenario? If yes, how and what exactly.
thank you in advance and i am looking forward your feed-back
cheers, lucia

Hi Christophe
this can be done. You can call MDM web services for either doing a Free form search or even run a MDM matching strategy to find potential duplicates defined based on rules in MDM.
In one of our projects we have used Web services call from CRM ecommerce portal to MDM for doing a Customer search.
Thanks-Ravi

Looking for best approach to implement all ERP and CRM Analytics

There is a scope to implement all the ERP Analytics (HR, Finance, SCM, Procurement & Spend, Project) and CRM Analytics (Sales, service, Marketing, Contact Center, Price, Loyalty ). Just want to know the best approach for impelmentation of both ERP and CRM analytics
1- Work with two separate containers with separate execution plan for ERP and CRM
2- Work with one container with one execution plan for both ERP and CRM
3- Work with one container with separate execution plans for both ERP and CRM
Also, Please let me know if there any standard document to achieve both the implementations simultaneously.
Thanks!

Answer, as always, is "it depends". Here is a list of things to consider w the 3 approaches you mentioned:
1- Work with two separate containers with separate execution plan for ERP and CRM
This is a good approach if you plan on a different frequency of ETL loads for each container or different timings. As long as the targets are the same and you run INCREMENTAL loads from both containers, then the refresh dates will be updated. This is usually a good idea if your ERP and CRM users have different timing and load requirements and do not want to "interfere" w each other. You will also have DATASOURCE NUM ID uniquely defined for each system so the data will be segregated. By default, each source system will have its own container
2- Work with one container with one execution plan for both ERP and CRM
This is good if you are ok w the same exact load time for both. Its a simple approach and all tables will be loaded at the same time to avoid any confusion.
3- Work with one container with separate execution plans for both ERP and CRM
Not sure what the advantage of this option versus keeping them in separate containers (like Option 1).
I would also review the secion in the DAC guide for "MultiSource Execution Plans"
if helpful, pls mark correct

Contact person Number range in ERP and CRM - Middleware settings

Dear SDN team,
We have currently integrated SAP CRM 5.2 and SAP R/3 4.6 c using Middleware .
The contact persons are maintained in SAP R/3 system and also downloaded into CRM system . Currently the Number range is different in both the systems
Going forward, we can create and maintain Contact Person data in CRM only. But we have an issue with the Number ranges allocation in ERP system.
Our Questions are :
1) Can we maintain a external number range for Contact Persons in ERP system ? If yes , how is this possible ? because Contact person is not a standard Account group in ERP and we cannot maintain PIDE settings for Contact persons .
2) What is the best solution to maintain Contact persons between ERP and CRM with active Middleware settings.
A Good answer will get maximum points.
Regards
Ritvij

Dear Ritvij,
Am no sure how best I can answer but attempting:
Basically the contact persons in the R/3 system when are transfered to a CRM, the system generates the number from the number range with internal number assignment of the standard grouping. Hence, no PIDE settings involved.
Now, maintaining the contact person in CRM and to determine the number range for contact persons differently, you got to go for enhancement. You can look at the note 564538 which might give you some clues as to what enhancements are required.
thanks

How to compare the no. items in an order i ERP and CRM?

Hi SAP Experts,
We are facing an issue where the number of line items in an order(same order) in ERP and CRM are different , properly not synchronized.e.g., one order in ERP is having 5 line items but in CRM for the same order has 7 line items.
How to compare and identify the difference in number of line items in ERP and CRM for same orders?
Is there any report or tables , any other way?
Thanks in advance
Best Regards
Succhi

You can use transaction SDIMA for checking if data between crm and erp are synchronized. You can either run a Header comparison or Detailed comparison of the data. It is simple and easy to use. You can find more details here: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm70/helpdata/EN/49/2a5a1d6c7f3895e10000000a421937/frameset.htm
Or you can use report CRM_ODE_CHECK_DOC in CRM system to compare sales Documents between R/3 and CRM per transaction type/sales organization or even the transaction number. Also has got options to check transactions Not equal in CRM and R/3.

Oracle ERP and CRM Application Architecture Direction

Not sure if this is out of topic for this forum but it seemed the closest I could find. If it is out of topic could someone please point me in the right direction?
Im looking for the architectural direction Oracle is taking for their ERP and CRM applications. Specifically as Oracle moves their applications to the Oracle 9iAS application server will Oracle be changing their application architecture to a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) as other ERP and CRM vendors are? If not what architecture will the Oracle applications follow?

E-Commerce for ERP and CUA

We are installing the E-Commerce module for ERP and we are running into an issue with the User Management peice. We are unable to create new users. The error we are getting is:
1.- You do not have authorization to maintain users in the central system
2.- Error while creating user in Service Backend
Is this because we are using CUA to manage users in ECC? If so, how can we get around this?
Our environement is:
ECC 6.0
E-Commerce (ISA) 5.0
Netweaver 7.0 SP 18
We have also configured the E-Commerce module to use the UME.
Maximum points to the first person with an answer and helpful a work-around.
- Andrew Castillo

Hi Andrew,
We are installing the same thing currently using the B2B E-commerce for ERP option. We have configured E-Commerce right now to use the SU01 contact person for web users. Also, the manager does have the same role you pointed out below SAP_ISA_UADM_MANAGER assigned, not the other CRM role mentioned.
The process we have to go through right now is to create the user in CUA, sync that to ECC, assign the customer contact person number in the SU01 References table related to the customer we want them to be(working on an abap program to do this automatically from CUA), and then the user should be able to log into E-Commerce for that specific customer.
We are embedding the E-Commerce app into EP 7.0 through i-views and using single sign on from portal so customers won't have to log in again anywhere. Please let me know if this is similar, if it helps, and what type of ecommerce configuration you're using...especially in how you configured the e-commerce module to use the UME.

Single condition for contract and domestic sales

Dear All,
I just want to know is there any possibility to go with one condition type for contract and regular sales as in case of regular price will be determined automatically and not modifible, where as based on the requirement contract price condition will be created.
Now under this process there is a problem and it is picking contract price in regular sales order also, but i want contract price need to be triggered only when it is referenced.
Thanks
Srini

Hi,
As I understood you want to have same Condition type (Say PR00) to have in both Sales Document types. (In other words to have same condition type in both pricing procedures used for Contract & Sales Order)
Since you want to set "Not modifiable" when it's in the sales order & when it's in Contract you want to manually enter same condition, this is not possible.
Because, "Manual entries" control is inside the Condition Type.
IMG Path:
Sales and Distribution -> Basic Functions -> Pricing -> Pricing Control -> Define Condition Types -> Maintain Condition Types
Therefore you can set it only for a condition type. Where is for PR00 it's either "Manual entry has priority" or "No limitations" or "Automatic entry has priority" or " Not possible to process manually"
Therefore you cannot have same condition to satisfy both requirements. In that case you have to have 2 condition types,

Replication of text determination (business partner) between ERP and CRM

Hello,
in ERP I have maintained a text determination procedure Z1 and assigned it to the text object "KNA1". The textprocedure include the Text ID's "Z011" and "Z020".
In CRM exist the text object "KNA1" and "BUT000". I have customized a a text determination procedure "Z1" and the same Text ID's as in ERP, to booth text objects.
The text ID's don't be replicated, no matter i maintain it in CRM or ERP.
Can anybody tell me, how can I replicate the content of the text ID's? What is the relevant text object in CRM?
Thanks for help
Regards
Andreas

Andrea,
There are objects for replicating the data between CRM and CDB.
CRM_DNL_TTXOB and CRM_DNL_TTXID.
But none for replication between R/3 and CRM. WE need to maintain it manually.

E-Commerce 5.0 for ERP and re-using a Quote

We have an E-Commerce 5.0 for ERP environment that has been up and running for three years now. Everything is working great and we've made many custom enhancements through the years, but there is one that business is asking for that I've not been able to tackle yet, so I'd thought it best to get some advice.
If you are familiar with E-Commerce 5.0 for ERP you should have noticed that a Quote can only be referenced (used) by an Order one time. After that has occured, the next time you access the Quote on the B2B site, the "Order Quote" button is greyed-out. This appears to be standard functionality. The main issue is the fact that there is no way to change the order quantity before you press the "Order Quote" button. It is not a text field.
On the contrary, however, when creating a Quote within the ERP system (ECC6), one can reference (use) the Quote many times in the creation of Orders assuming you are not referencing the complete line quantity.
What is going on? Where should I start looking on how to adjust the "web" quote to allow for this re-use? Could it be as simple as changing the qty field from a label to a text box, which would allow the customer to change the value?
Any advice or ideas are welcome!
Thanks
Edited by: Bryan Fickle on Dec 3, 2009 9:21 AM

If anyone knows how to get a user-entered custom value from the item level to a custom java class, please let me know.
I'm still looking into how to extend the quote and allow for the re-use of it, if all the quantity on the line item has not been exhausted.
I can easily add a custom field to the header of a .jsp and access that user entered value by coding against the requestParser.
Example: Parameter xxx = requestParser.getParameter("customerHeaderParm");
But, when I add a customer parameter to the item level of the .jsp, I cannot leverage the same to code and get at the user entered value. The value comes back as null.
The two files I am working with are as follows: orderstatusdetail.jsp and Z_DocumentStatusOrderQuotAction, which is an extension of the standard class, DocumentStatusOrderQuotAction.
I am working with the requestParser within the ActionForward isaPerform() method of Z_DocumentStatusOrderQuotAction. I need to get to those item level values BEFORE the order is created from the quotation.

EHP4 for ERP and EHP1 for NW

Hello,
I have a couple of questions regarding EHP4.
We are planning to install EHP4 for ERP 6.0 in our ECC server. Will this also install EHP1 for Netweaver on them?
Also, we have a portal running on a different server using the ECC server as the backend. Will applying EHP1 for Netweaver (as part of EHP4 for ERP6.0) on the ECC server have any implication on the portal? Or is it mandatory that we upgrade our portal also to EHP1 for Netweaver?
Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ajay

Hi Ajay,
As part of the EHP4 installation in the ECC Server the basis will get automatically updated to q NW EHP1 level (ABAP).
The EHP1 is not mandatory for the Portal from an ERP EHP4 perspective - you can choose weather you update (EHP1) or not - therefore there are 2 different production versions offered in Maintenance Optimizer.
More information can be found in the guides via: http://service.sap.com/ehp-inst
Best regards,

Logical components for ERP and ERP EnhP 3

Hello,
We have a landscape or ECC 6.0 Systems created in the SMSY. Those systems were linked to a new logical component Z_ERP60 under product ERP 6.0. Then we used that logical component in all the projects.
Later on, we upgrade ECC 6.0 to EnhP 3. So, we went to the SMSY transaction, to the infrastructure components--systems and add new product versions to the existent system.
However, the logical component is defined as valid only for the original product ERP 6.0, and not to the new ERP 6.0 EhP3. When we go to SOLAR01 transaction we still see that processes from BPR that belongs to EhP3 are greyed.
We want to know which is the best practice to handle this request, whether we create a new logical component associated to the product ehp3, Z_ERP60_EHP and then replace all the projects with the new component, or is there any other alternative.
I appreciate your inputs.
Regards
Esteban Hartzstein

Many thanks for your answer. The attachment is related to whether ERP EhP is available as a product in Solution Manager. We are in SolMan EhP1 (SP 18), so we already have the product available. However my concern is that we need to redefine the logical component. Logical component belongs to one single product, being ERP 6.0 or ERP 6.0 EhP. So, in our case we need to create a new logical component with the new ERP 6.0 EhP and then re-atach all the individual systems to the new logical compoent. Then we need to replace in all the projects withe the new logical component. Is there any alternative to deal with this problem of redefintion of logical components??
