Busines Partner Tyes

thanks in advance.
Rakesh

A business partner can be a person, a group of people, or an organization, representing a business interest.
Person
The categorization of a business partner as a person (for example, a private person), a group or an organization (legal person or part of a legal person, for example, department) is known as the business partner category.
Group
A group is the depiction of a shared living arrangement, a married couple, or an executive board.
When a group is created, the corresponding partner group type must be entered.
Organization
The organization represents units such as a company, a division of a company, a club, or an association.
In addition to a legal person, parts of a legal person can be mapped as a business partner. Organization acts as an umbrella term to depict all conceivable occurrences in daily business activities. In this way, a subsidiary or a purchasing department represents only parts of a legal person.
The business partner category must be defined when creating a new business partner.
A business partner can come into contact with an enterprise in various situations. Depending on which business processes the business partner is involved in; completely different information about the business partner may be needed. For example, for the goods delivery transaction, information about the shipping and delivery conditions is required; for the sales order transaction, delivery dates and payment conditions are relevant.
You can create more than one business partner role for one business partner; general information, such as name, address, and bank details, must be entered only once.
All applications or industry business solutions using the SAP Business Partner function provide special business partner roles.
Each partner role contains various data sets:
·     General data
·     CRM-specific data
·     Relationships

Busines partner trading partner in TRM

Hello
Where can I enter the trading partner id (vbund) in the business partner? We have a business partner that is our counterparty in financial transactions. For consolidation preparation (in BCS for example) the trading partner has to be entered in the GL document lines.
Kind regards

Hi,
Once you assign Trading Partner to Counterparty it will be automatically filled in the posting document. You can check in FBL3N/FBL5N display by including field Trading Partner.

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.

viswag

Hi Viswa,
In CRM 4.0, marketing attributes set can be created at T-code [CRMD_PROF_TEMPL]
The created attribue set can be assigned to BP at T-code [CRMD_PROF_BP]
The other way you can open the BP, in marketing at marketing attributes tab your can assign the created attribute set.

Campaign creation : selecting a busines partner then hierarchy node

Hello
In MSA 4 SP8, while creating a Campaign, if I first select the Client Type as "Business Partner" then change to "Hierarchy Node", when I save it tells me that the Business Partner field is not correct, though I told it to choose the other option (which was correctly filled).
I believe it is the fact that the BP object persists, how can I force the system to ignore it if I don't need it ? (or, destroy it so it is not even checked)
Thanks and Regards,
François

I am working in 2004s as well (SP11) and I am trying to do the same type of thing.
I have multiple cost center hieriarchies that the user can choose from at run-time using the hierachy variable.
Then once the user chooses to the hierarchy they then should go choose a specific node that they want to run for in that hierarchy using the Cost Center Hierarchy Node variable (using the hierarchy variable, not fixed hierarchy).
When I run this in the web I am allowed to choose one of the multiple cost center hierarchies... this means that the hierarchy variable is working, however when i go to choose the specific cost center node for that hierarchy it uses the defult cost center hierarchy instead of the one selected in the selection screen.
If anyone can shed some light on this it would be greatly appreciated.

Busines Partner links to Organizational Data question

i can find the Business partner data in BUT000
what DB table stores the values of links between Business partner and Org. unit
or what GUID links need to be made to get this data???
basically i am looking for sold to partys and ship to party and their respective organizational units...

Hello,
Use table HRP1001
Take the business partner with leading Zeros & put in "ID rel.object" (Technical name SOBID ) then execute the table.
Find the Org unit corresponding to "Object ID" (Technical name OBJID)
Check this Org unit & BP combination in PPOSA_CRM it should match.
If you know the Org Units then use the same table HRP1001 & put Org unit in OBJID & get the corresponding BP in SOBID

Busines Partner Cockpit in EP

Hello,
I'd like to know if there is an iView like Business Partner Cockpit transaction in CRM (CRMD_ORDER_BP)? If yes, please give me PCD.

I dont think you find similar iView for BP cockpit, rather you can use BP fact sheet which summarises BP details,transaction details etc in it.

When I'm running transaction FWZZ, when I try to insert the bussines partner number, the system returns an error that the bussines partner it's not updated in table BUT000.
This only happens to the new Bussines Partners created by BPC1.
Is there any way to feed the table BUT000 automaticaly when crearting the BP via BPC1?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers

Hello,
You are using an incorrect transaction to create the Business Partner.
Please use transaction BP to create it and let me know your results.

Wrong Suggest of Businer partner code

I have a problem in sales order with approval procedure and inactive business partner:
When im trying to enter an inactive business partner code in the document, suggest me this code and let me create the draft to be authorized. How i can disable this option of suggest.
Im working in SBO 8.8 pl15

Hi Fernando,
an inactive BP shouldn't be in the Choose-from- List unless you are creating a payment document or the document has a posting date outside the inactive period as set in the BP master data (see 1411244 - Master Data Inactive/ Active Enhancements).
The behaviour you describe cannot be reproduced in 8.81 pl004 or 5, so the bug has been fixed already.
All the best,
Kerstin

Stop Businness Partner from Saving

Hi,
Is there a way I can stop a BP from saving in the UI when the user has entered the wrong ID Number, I implemented BADIs like BUPA_IDENT_CHECK which works fine for showing the error messages that the ID Number is incorrect but it still allows the user to save the BP.
I also tried using the do_validate_input method but it still allows the user to save. Is there some code that I need to add after displaying the messages to prevent it from saving? Please assist.
Regards,
Wesley

Hi Guys,
Thanks so much for your answers, but Naresh all full points goes to you, I did exactly as you said and now the BP cannot be saved if some conditions are not met.
Thanks and much appreciated

Service Desk: Pricing data for partner could not be read

Hi all,
I am trying to configure the Service Desk functionality for Service Providers (on EHP1).
I follow the SAP Documentation (SAP Solution Manager: Service Desk for Service Providers) and SLA's made easy in SAP Solution Manager. Also some discussion threads helped me with some steps (I applied e.g. the recommendation from Pricing data for partner 106 could not be read. , but it didn't help).
I am facing some errors related to the CRM part of the configuration.
When I create Service Desk Contract (SLFV) in CRMD_ORDER, the error appears Pricing data for partner xxx could not be read. I checked the setting of BP and I am not able to find the reason, for customer's (sold-to-party) BP the sold-to-party > Sales Area Data the Sales Organization/Distribution Channel/Division are maintained. Which information for pricing is needed and where can it be configured?
Another error - I am sure it is related to the first one - the service contract cannot be determined in the service message (in Item details view under product). The error messages are about sales area/organization, so I suppose there is something wrong with the link Service Contract -> Business Partner definition.
Could you please help me what can cause the error?
Thanks in advance,
Vaclav

Hi Balaji.S,
my problem was solved when I double checked the settings of org structure. That means there must be a consistent setting for sales organization / distribution channel / division in businness partner (tcode BP), organizational model (PPOMA_CRM), product workbench (COMMPR01). The setting must be same for both the sales department of the service provider and the customer's company (I am sorry I am not CRM, so I am following just this simple logic)
In the long text of the error (in CRMD_ORDER) I could see "expected" combination for sales organization / distribution channel / division (message e.g. The access was carried out with sales organization 'O 50000613', distribution channel '01' and division '') -> when the org model was set up everywhere in this way, the contract was automatically filled by the organization data and in the next step the contract could be determined in the service desk message.
Anyway it took some time to find out the correct combination. Deeper CRM knowledge would help me much.
