Using single repository for Customer and Vendor

Hi All
Has anyone worked in scenario where a single repository was used to store both Customer and Vendor records? The source and Target systems are SAP ECC and MDM will have both Basic as well as contextual data.
I would like to know the likely challenges. Anyone who has worked on similar grounds can please share his viewpoints.
thanks
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
As you want to manage both Cutomer and Vendor data in MDM you need to consider the following points:
- If you are seeing the Customer and Vendor master as a combiantion satisfying some common criteria,then you can go about using the SAP delieverd Business partner rep which is designed keeping the ECC customer and Vendor details to an extent.You can unarchieve the BP rep in MDM and have a look at its data modelling if it serves your purpose.
- As of MDM 5.5 we do not have provision of holding two master records in a single rep as we can use only 1 main table.So if you want to fit in your customer and vendor masters in one rep you will have to accomodate the combined fields under a single rep with proper data modelling.
- You need to store your two masters in two separate rep and perform data modelling in such a way that your one rep hold those common fields which you wish to use for finding duplicates as mentioned in your above req and then store this information with the complete rest in a dfferent rep.So its a 2 rep concept as possible with teh current MDM version.
- I am not very sure of this method but i think we have a provision of calling and linking data from two rep and display them as one to work upon them through EP.
Hope It Helped
Thanks & Regards

ALE: how do I use dependent distribution for customer and vendor addresses?

Hello SDN'ers
Hopefully someone can help me with an ALE question.
We have two ERP systems connected with ERP - Retail and AFS.
Customers and Vendors may be created in Retail, and are distributed to AFS using DEBMAS, CREMAS and ADRMAS messages.
Not all customers and vendors are required in AFS, so we have various filters set up in the Retail distribution model (BD64).
However with the filters in place, addresses were still being distributed for customers and vendors that had been filtered out.
To try and avoid this for vendors, we created a filter group for AddressOrg.SaveReplica in receiver determination. In the filter group we selected Dependent Distribution for CREMAS (Address owner object).
This works perfectly for vendors - vendor addresses are now only distributed if the vendor itself is distributed.
However I've now discovered it is preventing any customer addresses from being sent! I was surprised about this: I expected CREMAS dependency to only affect vendor addresses. Can someone tell me:
- is this how dependent distribution is designed to work? In which case can anyone offer any suffestions to achieve the filtering some other way?
- or are we doing something wrong to be getting this result?
Thanks for any help!
regards, Roger

Hi all,
as Robert suggested, I've written an exit to get round this, although I'm surprised I should need to!
What I did was to code an enhancement in function group BDBF, at the start of subroutine COMPUTE_LOGIC_EXPRESSION.
* In the case of addresses, dependencies should only be applied for the appropriate type of address
data: lwa_tbd14 type tbd14.
if P_MODEL_DATA-FTYPE = C_FTYPE_DEPENDENCY_FROM_MESTYP.
*   Dependency from Message Type.
*   Read the Address Object type
    READ TABLE P_FILTER_VALUES
                     WITH KEY OBJTYPE = 'AD_OBJTYPE'
                     BINARY SEARCH.
    if sy-subrc = 0.
*     Check if the Message Type is linked to the Address Owner Object Type
*     (Table is buffered on DB)
      select single *
        from TBD14
        into lwa_tbd14
       where MESTYP = P_MODEL_DATA-FMESTYP
         and OBJTYP = P_FILTER_VALUES-OBJVALUE.
      if sy-subrc <> 0.
*       Wrong type of address for this dependency - stop here
        P_REPLICATE = c_true.
        exit.
      else.
*       Correct address type. Standard processing continues, checking any
*       filter values set up against the Address Owner Object Type.
      endif.
    else.
*     It isn't an address - continue with standard processing
    endif.
endif.
Let me know if this helps you, or if you know of a better way to achieve the same result.

Program for customer and vendor master

Hi All,
I am working with ale-idocs. could you plese tell me the program name for transferring the customer and vendor master data.
thanks in adavance,
Sugeet.

Hi Sugeet,
You can transfer the Customer/Vendor master data by activating change pointers or by using RBDSEDEB/RBDSECRE programs manually by giving the customer or vendor number. But for both the methods you need to configure the partner profile settings.

Opening Balance for customer and vendor

Hi All,
i wana Find the opening balance of a customer and vendor. How do i do it? Shoudl i calculate it or is there any database table for that. PLz do help me.
I have been recomended few tables like BSID, BSAD, but i dint find any field for opening balance. i didnt even find it in FD10N.
thanks n regards.
Santosh Kotra

Hi,
Opening balance of Customer means:
Get the data from BSID and BSAD tables.
You have to segregate the data based on the Posting date field(BUDAT).
If you calculate all the open items amount (all DMBTR or WRBTR) till 31.12.2006,
then as on 1st January 2007 this amount will become the OPENING BALANCE of that customer.
Similarly for Vendor calculate all the Open Items from BSIK and BSAK and do the similar exercise using the posting date.
So this concept of Opening balnce is always with respect to a Date.
Hope you understood.

F.13 for Customer and vendor

Hi,
Like GRIR clearing accounts can the Customer and vendors also automatically cleared? I have seen option in F.13. How is it possible to clear vendor and customer. I understand we made them in OB74 but how, i am confused about clearing criteria. What should i give in it.

Dear:
         For customer or vendor clearing it is mandatory to have full payment . For customers you will need full recovery against invoice for automatic invoice RV clearance against its corresponding Payment DZ. Eg.
Doc type      Assignment No         Amount
RV               1701                         25000
DZ               1701                         25000
It will clear the customer invoice against payment based on the assignment number. For this you should book payment with reference to invoice number that is copied from SD using VTFA . Same rules applies for vendors clearance . Hope it will help you.

Internation Address Version for Customer and Vendor Master

Hi Everyone,
There are a few fields on the General Data screen which are overwritten by value in the International address version and vice-versa. I am listing these fields below and I would like to know if this is just standard SAP functionality or did something change in our system after upgrading to ECC 6.0.
Communication Language
Postal code
Telephone
Mobile phone
Fax number
Email address
Thanks for your help!
Sheetal

I would assume that this is standard functionality, as e.g. it does not really make sense to have different communication languages in the address versions. It is just the opposite: if you have two address versions (e.g. standard and kanji) it is quite important to stored the information about which is the preferred communication language of the customer.
