Address Independent Communication Data

Hello Experts,
The Adress tab of a Business Partner has an assignment block called "Address Independent Communication Data" which has fields like Phone, Email, Fax etc.
Is this assignment block available in the CRM 2007 UI?And if its not available then is there any way it can be created in the UI?
Your help is very much appreciated.
Thanks in Advance
Anupam

Hello Anupam,
late response, but maybe it helps anybody. The fields are available in (private) account view of the business partner.
Technical data is:
Object type: BP_ACCOUNT
(Objekt subtype: INDIVIDUAL)
View: BP_HEAD/AccountDetails
Kontext Node: INDEPENDANTPHONE, Attribute: STRUCT:TELEPHONE
Context Node: INDEPENDANTEMAIL, Attribute: STRUCT.E_MAIL
Best Regards

Move address-independent BP data to adress-dependent field

Dear all,
I need to move Business Partner (BP) data from address-independent to address-dependent field, such as Email and URL data. Can anyone tell me if there is a functionmodule available for doing this?
The SAP help refered to ADDR_CAM1_SHIFT_COMM_DATA in function group SZA10, but I couldn't find any topics about it, maybe there's another way to do it?
Kind regards,
Jeroen Kruit

Hi,
The conversion of address-independent to address dependent field is a functionality provided for partnere on the UI. There is no single function module available for doing this.
The function module ADDR_CAM1_SHIFT_COMM_DATA can not be used stand along. The solution I can see for this is to use the business partner BAPIs:
1) BUPA_CENTRAL_GET_DETAIL to read the address independent information.
2) BUPA_ADDRESS_CHANGE to add the above address independent data to a address
3) Finally BUPA_CENTRAL_CHANGE to delete the address independent data for the partner.
Hope this helps.

Communication Data not replicated

Dear Experts,
we replicate Prospects from CRM to r/3 using BUPA_MAIN.
In general it works, but sometimes, the communication data like phone number or website is not replicated to r/3.
Do you any clue, where to start to look for that error?
Kind regards
Hannes

Hannes -
We had a similar issue. In ECC 6.0 the BP has "Address Independent Communication Data" and "Address Dependent Communication Data"
We were populating the Address Independent Communication Data in ISU ECC 6.0. In CRM in the webclient the data that shows up by default I believe was the Address Dependent data. So, we then accessed the data in the CRM BP screen and found the data. It was just not visible in the web screen.
When we set up replicationg using the provided cook books this is what we found as standard behaviour.
Hope this helps.

Update address-independent telehpone of BP

Hi all,
We need to change address-independent telephone numbers of business partner.
When such record already exists (telephone numbers are maintained), this can be done using function module 'BAPI_BUPA_CENTRAL_CHANGE' with TELEFONDATANONADDRESS.
However, when address-independent telephone record does not exist (all telephone numbers are empty) - BAPI return warning 'BAPIADTEL was not found' and BP is not updated.
We have found out that address-dependent data is updated with two separate functions: 'BAPI_BUPA_ADDRESS_ADD' and 'BAPI_BUPA_ADDRESS_CHANGE', but we have not been able to find out similar ADD function for address-independent records.
Does anyone know how to update address-independent records (telephone, in this case) via ADD method?

Hi Ujwal,
I dont have a ready code right now.
Firstly, the module BUPA_CENTRAL_GET_DETAIL can be used to get all the details of the address independent communications.
Later for delete:
BUPA_CENTRAL_CHANGE : For example say telephone data has to be filled.
The corrsponding cons number has to be filled in 'IT_ADTEL_ADDR_IND' and the corresponding flag set in IT_ADTEL_ADDR_IND_X and also the update flag should be set to 'D'. In this way the telephone number can be deleted.
For restricitng the validity, the corresponding valid from and valid to fields can be updated accordingly in the same way.

Sudheer.

Hi,

Please help

IV_CHANGE_BAS :X (Already Defaulted)
IV_CHECK_ADDRESS : X ( Already Defaulted)

Time dependent communication data.

Hi,
I would like to create a time dependent communication data in the standard Business Partner transaction ( Tcode - BP ).
Scenario : A customer might call in to inform that for the coming 2 months he'll be away and wants all the communications be sent to a differnet address for this two months.
Standard SAP documentation says that the the Business Address Service which currently handles the address managemnt does not support time dependent data.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_470/helpdata/en/12/ad797a5c5811d3b4ea006094192fe3/frameset.htm
Any workarounds to this problem? Anyone who has ever faced such a requirement? Appreciate any ideas on this.
Thanks, Debasish

Hi Debasish,
Workarounds, 2 spring to mind both with pros and cons:
1. Maintain the customer in another client (an exact copy of the customer), and then use ALE to time the change. This would allow you to store up to 1 time dependent change in the future. So, when you knew a change was coming you could change the customer in the other client, and then schedule the ALE job to process the idoc on the date that the change was due to take place. The pro of this work around is there is no development to do, the cons are that it means keeping your customer data in another client, and that you can only store one change into the future and its not so user friendly.
2. Build your own time dependent function for communication data. Build a dynpro which called the standard address handling screens and then store the data in the standard address tables linked to your own custom tables for date/time of change etc. Then schedule a batch job every day (or hour, or as required) to look through your scheduled changes and then call a bapi or idoc or function to update the customer with the stored addresses. This should be great from the user friendliness point of view and will allow any number of future changes of address for each customer, but will require some development effort (although not a huge amount as you will be using standard functions a lot).
Hope that helps.

Update Address and communication Details of BP

Hi,
Requirement is we need to update address and communication details of BP, please let us know relative BAPI for the same. Below roles has to be updated with given address and communication details,
General Role
Employee Role
Help full information will be appreciated..

Hi,
For updation of address you can use
BAPI_BUPA_ADDRESS_CHANGE.
I guess you cannot update a role . You can only add new roles with BAPI_BUPA_ROLE_ADD .
One more thing in address updation, Whatever fields are there in import parameter ( Address) you can update them even if they are not present in database.
But in case of Tables( Communication details) fields you can only update if the values are existing in database.
Reward if helpful.

So this customer may change from one location to another location from time to time so here you have to maintain time dependent master data for this customer.
You have to maintain below like this
Customer   from_data   to_date    location.
c100          01/9/2008     12/12/2008   bang

BUPA_ADDRESS_CHANGE does not default saved address dependent communication

Hi,
I have used the function module to update the address dependent communication details. Although I managed to save the changes, I am unable to default the communication details properly.
CALL FUNCTION 'BUPA_ADDRESS_CHANGE'
    EXPORTING
      iv_partner         = p_bpnum
      iv_addrnumber      = p_addnum
      iv_accept_error    = 'X'
      iv_x_save          = 'X'
      iv_change_bas      = 'X'
      iv_check_address   = 'X'
    TABLES
      it_adtel           = p_t_update_tel
      it_adfax           = p_t_update_fax
      it_adsmtp          = p_t_update_email
      it_comrem          = p_et_comrem_upd
      it_addr_comm_use   = p_et_addr_comm_use
      it_adtel_x         = p_t_update_tel_x
      it_adfax_x         = p_t_update_fax_x
      it_adsmt_x         = p_t_update_email_x
      it_comre_x         = p_it_comre_upd_x
      it_addr_comm_use_x = p_it_addr_comm_use_x
      et_return          = et_return.
For example, if i update telephone number, It doesn't set the fields std_no to 'X' and r_3_user to '1'.
Please advise.
Thanks in advance,
Jenson

Jenson,
Those fields must be provided to the BUPA_ADDRESS_CHANGE function module. This function module does not provide any defaults of information and is at a very low level in comparison to the maintenance screens which call the module.
Take care,
Stephen

Time Related Dimension(table) in communication data model

Hi,
The most common and important thing for a communication data model to me is time metrics.
Things like mean up time, or mean down time are common KPIs we are tracking.
To make this model efficient, we need to create a time dimension can precisely and efficiently to calculate the mean.
How do we create such time dimension with common year, quarter, month, date, and time, while with UTC to local conversion?

Not sure i follow your question.
Can you give some example of the KPIs you mentioned - Mean up time and Mean down time with examples -- as detailed as possible (fact data details)?
On the face of it, it looks like these KPIs should be Calculated Measures involving Time expressions on date columns (date datatype =day+time infomation present in source columns) but nothing in it which needs a customized time dimension. Maybe not out of the box but very much doable in analytical layer (either using olap or relational rpd). So it should be do-able without needing any changes to the default time dimension available with OCDM.
