Business partner as customer and vendor

Hi,
I am trying to process an variable interest rate instrument wherein we need to create a single BP for both customer and vendor.
The FI customer and FI vendor has the same number( external) in our system.
I have done the required CVI settings and system does automatically create the customer as BP or vendor as BP, DEPENDING upon which master data is set up first in FI.
I do not see both vendor and customer as integrated in BP under the same Co.code, though individually it works.
. Our requirement is to create one BP for both the Vendor and Customer.
Please let me know what i am missing here.
Thanks,
Vamsi

Hello,
What did you customize in the synchronization options?
Cross-Application Components > Master Data Synchronization > Synchronization Control > Synchronization Control > Activate Synchronization Options?
Please check the same.

Business partner is customer and vendor

Hello,
There are situation when a customer is also a vendor. How can I link the two together in reports and so on?
Thank you,
Irina Stanca

Hi Irina,
You could use a UDF on the business partner to link the 2 BPs together. For example, BPs that are linked will have the BP Code of the corresponding BP in the UDF whereas BPs that are not linked will have a blank or null value in the UDF. You could then use this UDF to filter or group BPs in reports. Whether this will work or not depends on the kind of reports you wish to write and which reporting tool you are using.
Hope this helps,
Owen

Material vs. Products and Business Partner vs. Customer and Vendor

Hi,
Just wondering if there's any SAP recommendation for using 'Products' repository vs. Material repository. Similarly, is there any SAP recommendation for using 'Business Partner' repository vs. Customer and Vendor repositories.
Can anyone would like to shed some light on what is recommended with pros and cons? Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Mins,
you can group the repositories in the following way:
Group 1
- Material
- Vendor
- Customer
Group 2
- Product
- Business Partner
Repositories of Group 1 are related to the corresponding R/3 (ERP) data models. The repositories cover a large part of the R/3 fields and can be used to integrate your R/3 systems with MDM as they contain import and syndication maps for R/3.
Repositories of Group 2 are related to the common CRM and SRM data model. Those repositories have been developed with the goal to integrate CRM, SRM and R/3 with MDM. Unfortunately the structure of the Group 1 repositories was not capable to fullfill this. Group 2 repositories contain import and syndication maps to all remote systems (CRM, SRM, R/3). But those repositories are not as large as the Group 1 as the first task of the Group 2 repositories was the data consolidation scenario.
There is no general recommendation which repository to use. It depends on the project setup on customer side:
- If you want to use MDM for R/3 only, it makes sense to use Group 1
- If you want to use MDM for R/3 only, but you want to consolidate your customers and vendors in one single repository, you should use the Business Partner Repository because this one can hold both object types
- If you want to use MDM for CRM and SRM, you should use Group 2
So a general recommendation could be to check the Master Data setup and landscape within your project and then to choose the corresponding repository.
Kind regards
Michael

Customer and Vendor Partner Functions ?

Payment Run - Clearing between Customer and Vendor and Partner Bank Account

Is there a way to have the bank details for the payment to be pulled from the vendor master if an outgoing payment is created or from the customer master if an incoming payment is created? Our requirement is to consider both vendor and customer items during payment processing. In doing so, if the net of the clearing between the customer and vendor account results in an incoming payment, we want to use the bank details specified from the customer and if the net results in an outgoing payment, we want the bank details on the vendor master to be used.
As such we tick the box on Vendor master to clear with customer and tick the box on Customer master to clear with Vendor. We have defined 2 payment methods and entered both payment methods on both the customer and Vendor. We have also entered the different bank accounts on the payment transactions tab of the vendor and customer masters.
It seems regardless of resulting payment method chosen, the bank details are getting pulled from the vendor master.

Hi,
It is possible without any doing any kind of config or master data changes
While doing F-53, after entering all the required data in open item selection screen, after getting vendor open line items, go to menu item edit->select more.
There enter account type as D and company code (customer account no's comp code) and click on process open items
So you can choose the line items from the other company code's customer also.
Thanks,

Customer and Vendor ageing report by ItemGroup@%@#$%@#$??

Hi All
How do we get Customer and Vendor ageing report by "ItemGroup"?
I know there is a standard report in Business One which gives you the ageing report by Business Partner Group. But I dont know whether it is possible to get by "ItemGroup". Please help me and excuse me for weird requirement..
Thanks

Hi Gordon,
that query is actually designed for getting the purchase reports with all the excise and other tax related information per line item in the marketing document. my requirement is something different than this where the client wants to see the ageing report by Itemgroup.
Since ageing is based on the invoice due date it looks difficult to bifurcate the each individual line item, its group, its line total and their due date. means we should add all the open invoices' line items to be grouped with its total based on the due date. any other way to solve this?
thanks

Clearing between customer and vendor invoice with F110 transaction

Hello,
I have an issue related to the functionalities of the transaction F110.
I'd like to clear the vendor invoice with the custome invoice.
Customer and vendor records are linked properly and the flag 'Clrg with Cust.' is set on vendor and 'Clearing with Vendor' is set on customer.
Both the invoice are in USD and the amount in document currency of the vendor invoice is > of the amount in document currency of the customer invoice.
I entered in both the invoice the same payment method (outgoing payment method).
The error that I can see in the proposal log is related to the customer invoice and is:
Payment method selection for items due now to the amount of USD 500,00
Due items with currency USD, pmnt method - items total is > 0
..none of the payment methods defined can be used for these items
information re. vendor xxxxxxxx / customer yyyyyyy / paying company code TS01 ...
.. payment not possible because of reported error
According to the log of the proposal the vendor invoice can be paid.
If I click on display proposal and double click on the customer invoice (with red light) I can read the note:
No pymt possible because items with a debit
Following the settings of the payment method used:
Payment method in the country
- Payment method for outgoing payment selected
- Bank transf. selected
- allowed for personal payment flagged
- Bank details flagged
- Document type for payment XX

- Use classic payment medium program selected

Distribution amnt: 0,00
Single paymentfor marked item selected

Cust/vend bank abroad allowed? selected

Can you please help me to understand the error?
I'm afraid it is a problem with the bank but I don't understand why the payment of the vendor invoice is allowed and the customer invoice not.
Thank you very much in advance

Business Partner from SRM and CRM in BW

Gurus,
We are implementing both CRM and SRM this summer. Both make extensive use of Business Partner (0BPARTNER) which is causing headaches. CRM sends "customers" to BW via Business Partner and SRM sends vendors, purchasers and other stuff to BW via Business Partner. Unfortunately, the values of the keys of vendors clash with the value of the keys of customers. For example, Acme Suppliers could be numbered vendor 100 in SRM and Charles Customer could be numbered customer 100 in CRM. Last one loaded to Business Partner in BW wins.
I have three solutions so far:
1. Compund 0BPARTNER with source system in BW and lfow downstream to all infoproviders.
2. Create a separate object such as ZBPARTNER and load all SRM entities to this characteristic.
3. Force each subsystem to change their number ranges. I suspect that is what SAP's Master Data Maintenance does, but I have no experience with this tool.
Has anyone faced this dilemma before? Am I missing something?
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
Customer and Vendor are two seperate business entities and deliver seperate business function.
Both of them should be staged seperately. You may have seperate objects for Customer and Vendor. (0CUSTOMER & 0VENDOR).
I agree that both are business partners but functions are different so should be treated as seperate antity.
I hope it will help.
Thanks,
S

BUPA creation from customer and Vendor Master data in R/3 - Urgent!!

Hello All,
Firstly I am posting this query in this group to figure out a way to achieve this functionality of integration and moving Business Partners.
<u>Requirement: </u>On creation of every Customer or Vendor in R/3 we need to create a Business Partner in cProject, I have been told this could be achieved with the ALE functionality,
My guess would be to for every customer or vendor created in R/3 by User-exit create Business Partners by organization in R/3 and through ALE or BAPI create the same BP's in cProjects, I really need help in getting this solved,
Please advice me if I am missing something.
Thanks
Praveen Kumar

HI,
Goto SPRO\ Cross application components \ Master data synchronization \ Synchronization control.
Assign account groups of customer and vendors to respective BP grouping. This setting is enough to create BP in background while creating customer / vendor. But the fields groups are very much important, ensure mandatory fields should be sync.

Bpartner - Link between customer and vendor if its the same face

Hello
As I understood the primary idea to keep all business partners together is to make a link between differant roles of the same partner (like link customer and vendor if its the same face). Please correct me if I am wrong.
The questions is : how this link is done in CRM (how the customer is linked to vendor if its the same face).

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

Direct Customer and Vendor Creation

MDG Gurus,
I am looking for a way/approach using which a customer or a vendor can be created directly without the need of a Business Partner setup in the system.
This question pertains to SAP MDG 6.1
Hope the question is clear
Thanks
Shantanu

I agree with Ajithkumar Krishnakumar . In a hub approach, you could replicate only the customer and vendor records without the BP (you will have to build this as out-of-the-box replication will replicate the BP).
Another solution will be to build a completely custom data model. This means that you will have to build all the access classes, checks and validations, etc.
I understand that there are many challenges when dealing with the BP object within the MDG context (I'm dealing with these challenges on daily basis). However, it would be a worthwhile investment to try to learn how BP works instead of fighting it as this will help you and your client in the long-run as many applications use the BP functionality.

How to handle BP who is both Customer and Vendor during history import?

Hi Forum,
This is for importing Financial transactions for Open Sales Orders, Open Sales Invoices, Open Purchase Orders and Open Purchase Invoices and also for importing history for all Closed Sales Orders, Invoices, Purchase Orders and Invoices.
Our prospect has in their current system Business Partners who are both Customers and Suppliers (Vendors). In SAP Business ONE, BP is unique. It is recommended I believe in situation where BP is both Customer and Vendor, we need to create two BP Ids.
Question?
How do we import open and history of invoices in this situation where the same BP is both Customer and Vendor? Any tips would help please.
Thank you all very much.

Hi Syed,
As Gordon and Rahul said, it is painful for you if you import closed transactions.
Try to compromise your client that to use the old system for last year/old reports.
Its always good practice to import the Opening balance and even the open documents only.
If you have partially open items, then import the document for open quantities only.
Let's say, if you have a sale order with an item of 100 Qty. Among that 100 qty, lets 20 qty has been already delivered then you have to create the sale order in SAP for remaining 80 qty only.

Bala
