Automatically add role of Contact Person when BP is created as employee

We have done the configuration and setup to transfer OM data from ERP (ECC 6.0) to CRM 7.0. Before we execute the ALE job, we have one item we would like to add to the process.
We are a County Government implementing CRM Incident Management. Users will need to assign and forward Incidents to defined Contact Persons in various Org Units. It would require significant manual effort to edit BP records for each employee to maintain the Contact Person role.
Is there a way to automatically add the Contact Person role to each Employee BP at the time that the BP is created during the transfer of OM data? In other words, when IDocs are posted using RBDAPP01 in CRM, can the BP be created with the General role, the Employee role AND the Contact Person role at that time?
I have not found a BP configuration which implements this. I also did not find a switch in T77S0 which would cause this to occur.
I have searched this forum and the the CRM General Questions forum for this issue. I have found a few threads which posed the question but none which provided an answer for CRM 7.0. Please let me know if I have overlooked a previously posted answer.
Thank you for your help and advice.

Hi Robert.
Thank you for the suggestion. However, this isn't related to creating the Contact Person role when creating a contact relationship directly in CRM. What we need is the automatic creation of the Contact Person role at the same time that the Employee BP is created via the ALE transfer of OM data from ECC to CRM.

Automatic Partner Determination Std Contact Person during Activity Creation

Hi ,
There is a requirement in my project where the Standard Contact Person of the Sold to Party should be automatically determined during Activity Creation .I have completed the Partner Function configurations and now the Standard Contact Person is being successfully determined as the Partner.
However, there is a problem in a scenario where in another Contact Person other than the Standard Contact Person is to be determined during Activity Creation . In that case, the option to select the other Person is not being offered through a pop up window, but the System automatically populates the next Contact Person based on the BP Id ( Next on the Number Range )
Is there any way , so that the normal procedure of selecting one Contact Person from a list in the Pop Window can be incorporated , once the standard Contact Person is being removed from the Contact Person field in the Business Transaction .

Hello Maroof,
you should check first the standard relationship flag of the account. Means check the account and go to the
relationship contact person.
There you will find the standard Relationship Flag, which is relevant for the system to determine the main CP.
Furthermore please check the partner procedure:
For each partner function you can enter a value in field Maximum and Selection Limit. Please consider the F1 help
for the field Selection Limit where you can find the explanation when and how the selection popup is triggered:
Example 1
You enter 3 in this field.
When the system finds three or more partners who could fulfill this partner function, it displays a selection list.
You choose from the list which partners to enter in the transaction.
Example 2
You do not mark this field, but enter 5 as the Maximum for this partner function.
When the system finds six or more appropriate partners it displays a selection list.
Hopefully this information helps you.

Roles for Contact Person in MM-SUS Scenario

Hi !
When we create a contact person using the Create user option in SUS, we assign the roles to the contact person. These roles are basically the standard SAP roles for SUS. We have created Z-roles ( a copy of the standard roles) to restrict cetain txns for users and would like to assign these Z-roles to the contact person . How can we ensure that the Z-roles are displayed instead of the standard roles ?
Regards

Hi
Please go through these complete SUS-MM Configuartion detail links, which will definitely help ->
Roles:
SAP deliver standard roles with authorisations, if You want to maintain your own go to transaction PFCG.
There are two type of role:
- single role
- composite role - (one or more single roles)
To roles You can assign transaction codes, reports, URL links, etc. SAP System automatically creates the authorisations that you can set on Authorisations tab page.
Authorisation:
Authorization profiles must be generated before you can assign them to users. An authorization is generated for each authorization level in the browser view, and an authorization profile for the whole role as represented in the browser view.

How do I automatically add objects to a profile when I add a Z tcode?

Hi,
I've noticed that when I add some SAP standard tcodes to a role menu it automatically adds certain objects in the profile. How do I make this happen for my own Z tcodes?
I have created a tcode ZSTMT for one of my programs. In the program I'm checking object F_BKPF_BUK so I'd like PFCG to automatically add this object to a profile when I add the tcode to the menu structure. How do I do this?
Thanks,
Gill

Hello Gil,
those proposals have to be maintained in transaction SU24.

How to make iTunes automatically add music to my library when its downloaded from the web?

Before OS Yosemite, when I downloaded music off the web it would automatically be added to my iTunes library. Now they just ends up in my downloads folder but once I click on them, they start playing in my iTunes.

Hi Darg,
I don't have Safari installed here to look at, but I'd imagine it has a similar way to open certain kinds of downloaded files in specified applications.
In any case, the second method -- directing the download to your Automatically Add to iTunes folder -- is simple to do in any browser.
Let me know how it works out!

Is it possible to automatically add entry to contacts?

Using my iPhone or iPad, I can search for an address using the white and yellow pages app, then just click a button to add that entry to my contacts. Is there a way to do this using a Mac?
-Thanks

I just installed a free app named "Yellow Pages". You can lookup an address, and in one click add it to your contacts. Nice!

"PC" user with new IPAD2 w/3G. How do you add attachments (pictures, links, documents) when you are creating a new e-mail?

Just recently purchased an IPHONE4 for myself and an IPAD2 w/3G (16 GB) for my wife. Our provider is Verizon. It's a struggle as we both have a lifetime of experience in the "windows" worlds. It probably is something very obvious to users familiar with Apple's products but we need to know how, in creating a new e-mail, how do you attach an existing document, or photo or a link (for example, if I wanted to show the Google directions I looked up in Maps, how would I show this link in the new e-mail I'm creating?
I see when I'm in Camera Roll, I can touch the "curved arrow to the right" at the top which gives you a cafeteria of choices (Email Phote, Print, Copy Photo etc...). Is this the only way to attach? In other words you start from the attachment or link or photo and work towards the choices (email)?
Further, on an existing e-mail received and you want to forward that e-mail on with comment, again, wanting to attach a photo to this forwarding e-mail...how do you do that?
Just trying to fully understand the direction we need to go when wanting to do this.
Appreciate your response!
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Jim (and Mary)

Jim (and Mary)-
Try this: press both the Home and Sleep buttons at the same time. That should take a screen shot of your maps. Go to the Photos App and click on that screen shot. Click on the right-turn arrow at the top of the page. You will see options that include Email and to Copy. Choose Copy. Press the Home button and then the Mail App. Press and hold where you want the photo to go in the message.
When I tried this using the iPad's Maps App, the image pasted into the Email was larger than I expected. If you are accessing Google Maps via Safari, you may be able to press and hold on the map, and choose to Save Image. You can try it both ways to see if one is a better fit.

Automatic add of contact persons

Hi everyone,
When we create interaction logs and assign an account with several contact persons connected, the system automatically add each contact person to the interaction log. Can you change so the system ask which contact person you want to add or remove the setting where the system adds every single contact person connected to the account? See attached picture.
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Hannes de Richelieu

Hi Hannes,
When I'm talking about IC vs CRM Webclient scenario, I'm talking about this:
Which CRM 7.0 WebClient Business Role is Right for You: Interaction Center or Service / Sales Professional?
It is important to know whether you are running an Interaction Center scenario (IC_AGENT business role) because the customizing path to enable partner determination popup is not the same as CRM WebClient scenario (SALESPRO business role). You can ask any CRM functional consultant on your project: this is really basic information that they obviously know.

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,

Hi James,
may i know if you had find a solution for this.
I have same issue.

"TO" field in outgoing mail and choosing contact persons

Hi,
We are implementing the IC in the CRM version 6.
When the agent is preparing the outgoing mail the only mail that arrives to the "TO" field is the mail from the customer.
Now if the agent wants to add some more contact persons to the "TO" field the system is showing all the contacts there is.
Why the system is not showing only the mails that are relevant to the identified customer.
The agent (customer) wants to be able to send a mail to all the contact
persons in relation with the identified customer in an easy way.
Does any one know how to deal with this issue ?
Thanks in advance,
Eran Shapira.

How can I bypass Automatically Add to iTunes?

I have a large CD collection (>3000) that I've ripped to iTunes in ALAC format; I only listen to CD or better quality music, so I don't have any mp3 or AAC files in my iTunes library. I keep my music on an external hard drive. I recently bought a larger external hard drive and moved all of my music to that drive. For some reason, iTunes chose to put all of my music in a folder called "Automatically Add to iTunes". This was fine, except that I could no longer see the contents of the hard drive; however, I did know that the files were there, becasue of the disc space that they consumed.
Today, I ripped two new CDs to the hard drive through iTunes and I noticed that iTunes placed the music folders for those CDs outside of the "Automatically Add to iTunes". I decded to drag the new folders into the "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder. When I did so, all of the previous music disappeared and I cannot recover it. Fortunately, I have a copy of Sentuni, so I'll be able to put the music back on the hard drive from my iPods, but this process will require several hours. In addition, ripping my CD collection to iTunes required a lot of time, so I'm not pleased with the "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder feature. Is there a way to disable this feature, so that I can simply put my music on my external drive and be able to see that the folders are there.
I've been a devoted Apple customer for almost a decade, so I won't get too upset over this issue, but I wish that your developers would have addressed this issue during the development stage. Thanks for your attention to this problem.
Best,
Heath

If only this were the case. I tried to move several albums into the "Automatically add to iTunes" folder, which resulted in thousands of albums being erased from the folder. One should be able to drag a music folder into the "Automatically add to iTunes" folder without iTunes erasing the original contents of the folder.
It didn't erase anything.
It automatically added them to iTUnes and moved them to the correct folder (Movies, Music, etc.) in the location shown in iTunes prefs > Advanced - iTunes media folder location.
I would like to disable the "Automatically add to iTunes" feature in iTunes,
You "disable" it by not putting anything into it. If you don't want to use it, don't use it.
If you want to manually manage, do not put anything into this folder.
Go to iTunes prefs > Advanced and uncheck Copy files to iTunes media folder when adding to library.
Then File > Add to library adn select what you want to add to iTunes. Do NOT put anything into the Automatically add to iTunes folder
and would like to be able to see the albums and artists on my external hard drive without having to do Spotlight searches
You wouldn't have to do Spotlight searches anyway.
The files are in /Music/Artist/Album folderin the location shown in iTunes prefs > Advanced - iTunes media folder location.
Also, in iTunes, you can select a song, right click - Show in Finder.

Error while creating the Contact Person in the BP Master Data

Dear Experts,
                I encountered the following error while updating the contact person name either while creating new or editing existing customer.
Error - [Contact Persons - Contact Persons name][Line 1],'This entry already exists in the following tables 'Contact Persons' (OCPR) (ODBC - 2035)' [Message 131-183].

Dear Experts,
                  I am not doing a DTW for the same, i am updating the BP Master manually. It has been a recent occurence since 3 days when the customer is trying to update the contact person the following error throws. I tried updating for the existing customers with no contact person, there in also it throwed the same error.
               To bring to your notice i had a test database for the same customer where in i encounter no issues with regard to the contact person update.

Sending marketing campaigns to contact persons - How?

Hey guys,
what I want to do is to use the functionality in the web ui, where you can build out of your target group (which includes organizational accounts) another target group (which includes the contact persons of the organizational accounts of the first target group). I think I almost figured it out, with the help of you, how this can achieved but please send me a reply to verify or correct my assumptions about the process.
1. In case I want to search for attributes of contact persons (who belong to an organization) I have to set up the following:
I used the standard infoset "CRM_MKTTG_BP_ORG" (BP: Contact persons relations of organization), created a Data source of this. I created an attribute list of this data source and I created the filter for the fields "BP category" (as value = organization) and filter "BP relationship category" ( as value = has contact person ).
SAP told me to create those two filters. I do not really get here why I have to set those two filters. I got the same results by using the combination 'has contact person AND organization AND filter X' or 'has contact person AND filter X' or 'organization AND filter X'. Please explain to me the differences!. Please explain to me the differences!!!!
My result is that I get all contact persons with this attribute I was searching for right? So am I right, that this option helps me to find all contact persons who belong to a certain attributes but NOT filters all organizations with a certain attribute and then gives me the associated list with contact persons for it?
2. In case I want to search for attributes attached to organizations and then to give me a list with the contact persons of those organizations I have to set up the following:
a) For an Attribute Set
If I want to use attribute set of an organization, for my data source, I should use
Segmentation object - business partner
Origin type - attribute set
Attribute set - Your custom attribute set for Org
Function module - CRM_MKTTG_PF_BP_TAB_TO_CP
Create an attribute list based on the data source created. This will also give the list of contact persons for organizations, as a result of segmentation process.
b) For an Info Set
If I want to use an Info Set instead of an Attribute Set I have to do almost the same
Segmentation object - business partner
Origin type u2013 Info Set
Attribute set u2013 Info Set X
Function module - CRM_MKTTG_PF_BP_TAB_TO_CP
Create an attribute list based on the data source created. This will also give the list of contact persons for organizations, as a result of segmentation process.
Did I understand the process correct?? Please correct me when I got anything wrong, especially with the filters and the AND combination of the first option.
3. I heard something as well about a segmentation basis. *How would I do the segmentation based on the segmentation basis?* Would I need t choose valid for Segment Member Relationships? What does this mean and how exactly would I need to build my segmentation basis? What result would I get?
I created two segmentation basis, one which only includes organizations and one which only includes persons. So in case I would choose "valid for Segment Member Relationships" and not "segmentation members" I would additionally to, lets say all organizations, get contacts which have the attributes of the profil I want to create?
But I cannot use "valid for Segment Member Relationships" if I want to have ONLY the contacts of organizations and persons right? It is nothing similar as the option with including the function module in the attribute set or info set and then I get the contacts based on a target group of organizations right?
Thanks for your help.

Janine

Contact Person for Vendor in SRM/CUA

Hello SRM Expert,
We are using Central user administration (CUA and like other system SRM is connected to CUA. I am getting the error 'Central system not accessible' while creating the employee (manage business partner) for business partner (Vendor). When we remove CUA then the error disappear.
Could you please let us know would be our approach for creating employee for vendors (for bidding, auction etc..).
Steps for Reconstruction
1. Login to SRM
2. Click on Manage business partner (BBPMAININT)
3. Look for Employee for Business Partner 'Create' option and create a employee for one of the vendors.
4. You will get the message Central 'System not accessible' .
I know one approach where I can create a SU01 in advance from CUA and then in manage business partner use this user but this is very long approach looking at the number of vendors we have. Is there a simpler way ?
Thanks,

Pradeep
Sorry yes it is not specifically about external users. You should review the note again, particularly scenario 2.
Essentially the note explains that, in a CUA environment, to create a user for an external contact person you need to create the following entry in table "BBP_CUST":
Key = "EBP_CUA_SCENARIO"; Value = "ACTIVE".
If you do not want to user table maintenance you can create the entry via the following IMG menu path:
Supplier Relationship Management > SRM Server > Technical Basic Settings >
Deactivate User Access to Solution Manager.
(Ignore the transaction title this transaction is essenatially maintenance of table "BBP_CUST").
Then you must ensure that the user specified on the RFC Definition for the CUA client has authorisations to create users IN THE CUA CLIENT, (it already has authorisations to create in the SRM client). This lack of authorisation is probably the reason for your error message.

Issue while saving contact person details in CRM 5.2

This issue is in IC webclient CRM 5.2.
Issue:We search for the product and then confirm it.Once its confirmed,it will display the list
of partners(ex:Sold to party ) for that product.
When I select sold to party ,it will display the list of contact persons for that sold to party.
Then I select one contact person and I change some details for the selected contact person like extension,email and save it.
Its getting saved.
After that I do cancel interaction and I repeat the same steps.After changing the contact person,when I click on save ,its not getting saved.
Again If I click on Save,its getting saved.
I found that in setter method,collection wrapper is getting refreshed for the second time.Because of that,its throwing an exception 'CS_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL'.
Can you please tell why this collection wrapper is getting refreshed and what could be the problem.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You can set a check to see whether the object is bound. Otherwise, try to find out why the method is called twice.
