Business partner function as a customer

Hi Friends,
Presently I am working FSCM - collection management. i would like to create a customer as a business partner. this will help me to create a worklist for collection management process.
So please guide me how to create the customer as a business partner.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Ram

Hi Ram,
FSCM uses the CVI ( Customer-Vendor--Integration) functionality to map customers to Business partners and vice-versa.
Please review SAP note 954816 which has all the required information and steps on how to activate the CVI. Once CVI is active, you need to just ensure that it gets triggered for the FSCM specific customer role - which i believe is some UDM* roles.
(Note 954816 is for the FI customer, but the steps for mapping are the same for collections mgmt too, just the role specific customizing will differ).
Hope this solves your issue.
Cheers,
Rishu.

RE:Business partner functions in customer Master creation

Do we need to send the Business partner functions while creating record in R3 thru MDM.
For any account group i pass the Idoc is expecting all Business partner functions to be defined for the account group to which am trying to create Customer.(As SH,BP,PY..)
Can anyone please explain me in brief the Business partner function -Problem in my scenerio............................Concept of Business Partner function while creating Customer.

In ECC partner functions are used when you have multiple addresses for the same customer. The partner function links those address records together. You could have multiple unique customer numbers on the KNA1 table, but in the KNVVP table (partner functions) you maintain the linkage between the main table records.
Partner functions are not recommended in MDM. These are generally not considered to be "enterprise level attributes" and therefore shouldn't reside in your customer repository in a central create scenario. Additionally, some of the complexity required to model partner functions can't be modeled in MDM at this time. When 7.1 comes out, there is a new data type called "tuples" which supports deeply nested structures, and therefore you could model a true partner function table inside the sales area table.

Use of business partner functionality in combination with dual control

Is there a generally agreed upon procedure to use the business partner functionality in combination with dual control? The problem is that when you block a business partner, the customer/ vendor master data aren't blocked automatically. You can then still use them in transactions, which leads to problems.
So is there a way to make this work or a procedure to do this?

Thanks Masa,
I did notice the 'Add external supplier from' in create supplier or bidder option. However there is a small catch and your experience may help.
Let me explain the requirement and scenario here in SRM 7.
We are implementing the Registration of Supplier scenario; both ROS and SRM are in same client. When a potential supplier registers themselves in the registration system, a BP number is created (an Internal number range is defined for this). After accepting the potential supplier in pre-select screen the purchaser has two options to transfer the potential supplier from the ROS system to SRM
Option 1: He can select the accepted potential supplier from the supplier directory option and transfer the business partner to SRM. In this case the business partner number of the potential supplier is retained in SRM and a business partner with supplier and bidder tag is created. However the purchaser does not have any option to select which type of business partner he would like to create like supplier or bidder.
Option 2: Purchase can go to create supplier or bidder option and choose the u2018Add external supplier formu2019 from the ROS system and create the business partner. The ROS business partner details are copied to the create supplier screen, but the purchaser have to provide an external business partner number for the supplier. This is because we have defined external number range for business partner for the vendors that are replicated from ERP to SRM.
Objective is the ROS business partner should be retained in SRM with option to create as supplier and bidder and then manually create ERP supplier with same SRM BP number and map against SRM supplier.
Is there any way we can achieve this?
In SRM 5.5 with Manage business partner functionality we could achieve as system give us the option which business partner type we would like to create as well as retains the ROS BP number in SRM.

Error TTB1: You have not assigned business partner B1000 to a customer

Hi,
When trying to post the costs of a forex transaction we receive this error message: You have not assigned business partner B1000 to a customer ; Message no. FLBP116. When posting these costs (on a P&L account) we go through a finance interface to derive a CO object (network activity) from PS. Strange thing is that we don't have this error in Dev or QAS but only in acceptance which is a copy of prod... The interface works fine for costs from guarantees and L/C which goes to an other network activity in PS.
Any recommandations on this? The BP functionality has never been used befor by my customer.
Thanks in advance, and this a week befor possible go live...
Hans.

Update in PS was needed...

Partner functions directly from Customer master to Billing Header

Hello all,
We need to copy some partner functions from customer master record directly into billing header. we need to do that to avoid billing split.
For example, we have partner function Sales Agent in customer master. We need this function in invoices... but if we change sales agent assignment for a lot of clients, now, we need to change a lot of sales order to avoid invoice splits...
Is it possible?
Thank you very much.

Hello Jose,
if the partner is already present in the previous sales order, then it is copied to billing document.
No possibility to get it directly from master data.
If it is OK for the business, you could put the Sales agent in the item partner procedure of the billing document (and remove it from header partner procedure). In this way there is not a billing split.
Best regards,
Ivano.

Partner functions for SAP Customer Master

I am in the MDM solution definition phase for SAP Customer Master at one of our Cients place. The requirement is to set up a central master data scenario where creation & modification of any customer record will be done via MDM. The following components of Netweaver are in the landscape - SAP MDM, EP, XI.
I need clarification on the following points -
- Is it possible to set up the partner function in MDM, if so, how?
- Need to replicate the standard SAP functionality where the system can be configured to create Ship To, Payer, Bill To automatically when a Sold To record is created. Is this possible? Are there any work arounds?
Regards
Arvind

Hi,
Hi Arvind,
- Is it possible to set up the partner function in MDM, if so, how?
Partner Function comes under Condition Technique in SAP ECC.here some config has to be done.
For mapping it in MDM, First create a Qualified Table - Partner Function.Determine the Non-Qualifiers and Qualifiers.Then as said by Suresh, u need Java API stuff to complete this task and frontend being EP.
- Need to replicate the standard SAP functionality where the system can be configured to create Ship To, Payer, Bill To automatically when a Sold To record is created. Is this possible? Are there any work arounds?
It can be done using EP as front end and Java API to dertermine the partner based on the account group.
Thanks,
Felix

Updating partner function when creating customer XD01/XD02

Hello all, I have the following requirement to do:
When creating a customer for a certain account group in XD01/XD02, I need to update the partner functions associated to this customer.
I have tried, the ENHACEMENT SAPMF02D with function EXIT_SAPMF02D_001, but when changing table content T_KNVP, this content is not taken into account and the values are not stored in DB.
I have tried too BADI's CUSTOMER_ADD_DATA and CUSTOMER_ADD_DATA_CS, but the content of T_KNVP in CUSTOMER_ADD_DATA cannot be changed.
I would like to avoid BTE's for now.
Can someone give me a hand on this?
Thanks in advance!

Solution: BAPI CUSTOMER_UPDATE

Give "Number of an SD business partner" internally while creating customer

When we create a new custpmer by VD01 or XD01, at the "partner functions" tab, the number for each partner role is given internally. Where is the customization for the internal or external partner number? I want the system to give the partner number internally for the new customer's partner roles but it is externally customized. The partner numbers (which can be seen in "Partner Functions tab") for the new customer being created should be the new customer's own number and should be given internally.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
To assign the internal or external no. range to Customer is based upon the account Group. It can be assigned in IMG, the path is ;- IMG>Financial Accounting>Account receivable account payable.> Customer Account> Master data>Preparation of creating Customer Master data>Assign No. range to customer Account group.

Adding N-number of customer partner functions to a customer using LSMW.....

Hi Abapers,
          I had a requirement to add some 500-600 customer partner functions(bill-to-party,payer,ship-to-party) to a single customer(sales rep or employee customer) using LSMW.
          I uploaded the customer(500) master using LSMW, and i want to add 499 customer partner functions(bill-to-party,payer,ship-to-party) to the 1st customer .
          So, i want to know how to do this using LSMW or BDC, and give me suggestions to overcome this....
Thanks,
Dilip.B

I have responded to similar queries in one of the threads.
Please find the URL of that discussion:
[Re: LSMW   |Re: LSMW]
Instead of Vendor you need to use CUSTOMER number and Chose the standard customer master program for LSMW. In recording you wont be able to acheve this.
Hope this helps.

Update partner function before saving Customer (XD01/XD02)

Hello Experts,
I need to update my partner function table in Sales Area Data of Customer Master (XD01/XD02)
before saving the customer. Is there any exit where I can do that.
I tried using Enhancement SAPMF02D. Exit - EXIT_SAPMF02D_001. Where I modified the table T_KNVP. But, it again defaults to its original value.
Any help is appreaciated.
Regards,
DNP

I rephrase the question -
I can do an update after a Customer is created but is it possible to trigger a program everytime after a Customer(XD01/XD02) is being created.

DNP

Sales District and Partner function relationship in customer master

we have one partner function Tab at sales Area tab in customer master , and another when we click on Sales district tab at header will get another window where we maintain partner function relate to the sales District , i want to have all those partner function in report , can you please help me where i can find that in table ? when i do F1 its says KNVP but that table maintain at the sales area leval , not for the Sales District !! if you can help
thanks
Sonam

Hi Sonam -
and another when we click on Sales district tab at header will get another window where we maintain partner function relate to the sales District
Do you have custom table/maintenance for sales district? Are you not maintaining Sales District in Sales Tab of customer master.
You have to look for the field and table where you have maintained sales distict along with Customer and join the customer with KNVP customers and get all the partners.
For Example - if you have mainationed sales district in KNVV table of BZIRK field then you have to join KNVV -KUNNR with KNVP-KUNNR and extract all records of customer distict and associated partner functions.
Let me know,if the given solution is not applicable for your case.
Thanks
