Business Partner ID and Vendor creation

Hi All,
My client does not want to create Vendor IDs for potential vendor during RFx until awarded.
My situation is if the supplier registers to buyer Business partner id is created first. Buyer still cannot proceed with PO processing(classic scenario) until a vendor id is created at the backend and replicated to SRM.
My question is how do we tie the Vendor Id of back end and Business Partner Id in SRM hoping that custom development is triggered to create vendor at the back end immediately after the supplier is awarded.
Please advise.

Can Business Partner number and Vendor Number, Plant Numbe be same in SRM ?

Hi Experts,
We are configuring SRM7.0 with ECC6 ( Ehp4) having Classic Scenario .
I configured sandbox, and everything working fine.
I have one query. The Business Partner Number and the Vendor Code or Plant code are different. So while entewring the Location key in Shopping cart we need to enter BP code, by drilldown ( In drilldown we can see ECC Vendor Plant number).
Its no big problem,.
Can anyone suggest whether it is possible to have both Unique or exactly same , so no need to remeber both code or see in drilldown.
Thanks
NAP

Hi Narendra
Location - BP can be different only since plant assign always internal BP number only so BP number and plant number can not be same.
but Vendor you have two options .
External Number - if you were selected BP and Vendor number will be remain same.
Internal Number - if you were selected BP and Vendor number will be different.
visit BUCF tcode for Internal and External BP number configuration.
See our Mentor Ricardo detail explanations
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SRM/ECCPlantorLocationnumberisnotdisplayedinShoppingCart
All the associated parties which are used in the SRM environment (like location, recipient and supplier) are modelled as business partners.
Due to this fact the user interface displays the business partner numbers in a uniform manner, as the business partners are the technical representation of the involved parties.
In order to give the user a better idea which business partners are shown by the numbers, a little text is displayed next to the corresponding field (e.g. 11147 - Werk Hamburg).
When ERP plants are replicated to SRM system, plant numbers are converted into business partners and a new ID is assumed.

Restricting Business Partner, Customer, and Vendor access

Hi,
We have the synchronization set up for the business partner and customer for REFX. The requirement is to allow access to change the Business Partner record in tcode BP, when as a General Business Partner, but only allow view access to the Customer information. I have tried limiting the following objects to 03 but to no avail. Any help would be appreciated:
B_BUPA_FDG
B_BUPA_GRP
B_BUPA_RLT
F_KNA1_BED
F_KNA1_GRP
V_KNA1_BRG
I would rather have the users have access to the following so that the Business Partner can be updated:
B_BUPA_ATT
B_BUPR_BZT
B_BUPA_FDG
B_BUPA_GRP
B_BUPA_RLT
Is there a combination that I am missing?
TIA

Can I use one Business Partner repository for Vendor and Customer?

Can I use one Business Partner repository for Vendor and Customer? or do we have to use Vendor and Customer Repository separately. How can we do that? What are the pros and cons? can any one provide some examples:

Hi Deepak
The key purpose of SAP "enabling" the facility of multiple main tables in a repository is to primarily "manage" those master data objects that are related to each other. Typical examples will be a) Customer - Material, b) Supplier - Material, etc.
While, it is pretty easy to add multiple main tables in a repository, it is also important to understand the purpose of doing so based on the business requirements.
Besides, you got to be aware that in case you are "fixing" any issues with one main table (master data object) for which you have to unload the repository, the users will not be able to use the repository that has a main table defined for other master data object. Hence, there are pros and cons of using this capability of multiple main tables.
So, it is really important to understand the "W's" - What, Why, When, Where, Who of Data modeling before actually working on the "H" - How to in the SAP MDM tool.
Hope this helps.

Business Partner Role and Business Partner Grouping

Hello Everybody!
Business Partner Role and Business Partner Grouping.
Which correlation ist between this attributes existing.
In which table are this infos stored, In order create I can use
e.g. BUPA_CREATE_FROM_DATA
but how is the way inversely. Suppose I want to abtain the information
about a existing business partner which group he has etc.
Regards
sas

Dear Sas,
Business Partner Grouping is used to determine the number ranges to be used by the business partner at the time of creation.
Business Partner Role determines the subset of all the data available to be shown and edited.
I will give you a very simple (but imaginary) example for understanding the role concept: the business partner in a role of employee might allow you to enter a department id. So this field should be available to you for input when you edit the business partner in the role of employee. But suppose the same business partner is also a person who is your customer. And your customer will require a default payment term. So this field should be available for input when you edit the business partner in the role of a customer. Also, some applications use these roles to determine if the business partner is suitable for particular transaction. In the above example, Payroll application will only allow those Business Partner to be used if they are maintained as an employee. Similarly the sales application can mandate that you can only sell a product to a business partner if he is maintain in a 'customer' role.
Please understand the example above is not real but given for the understanding of the concept of role.
You can use the function module 'BUPA_CENTRAL_GET_DETAIL' to find the business partner group. And you can use the function 'BUPA_ROLES_GET' to find the role assigned to a Business Partner.

Issue with defaulting Business Partner Role while BP Creation

Hi,
I am having a simple requirement that while creating any contacts, the Business Partner role and authorization group will be defaulted.
Now 1st was trying to wrtite code in the enhancement spot : CRM_UIU_BP_ENHANCEMENT --> badi CRM_BP_UIU_SAVE --> Method ON_SAVE_EVENT (Event handler for save event ). But sometimes it is triggered, some times not. When it it triggered, transaction is giving a dump.
Again, I tried to write code in badi BUPA_GENERAL_UPDATE. There also, I am getting the same error " The COMMIT WORK processing must not be interrupted. "
I am writing this code in the method :
*Call this BAPI to fill the memory
    CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_BUPA_CENTRAL_CHANGE'
      EXPORTING
        businesspartner = ls_but000-client.
CALL FUNCTION 'BUP_MEMORY_BUT000_GET'
    EXPORTING
      iv_partner      = ls_but000-partner
    IMPORTING
      es_but000       = ls_bus000_upd
    EXCEPTIONS
      not_found       = 1
      parameter_error = 2
      OTHERS          = 3.
IF ls_bus000_upd-augrp IS INITIAL.
    ls_bus000_upd-augrp = '9000'.
ENDIF.
*   Populate new BUT000 data
CALL FUNCTION 'BUP_MEMORY_BUT000_FILL'
    EXPORTING
      is_but000       = ls_bus000_upd
    EXCEPTIONS
      parameter_error = 1
      OTHERS          = 2.
I can't understand why this dump is coming? Please help if there is any other way to defaulting roles..

Hi Suchandra,
Are you trying to default Business Roles & Authorizations at the time of SAVE of a new CP?
If yes, then everytime you click on SAVE button on CP Create Screen the Save BADi will be triggered.
Cases when its not getting triggered please debug into the event handler method of view-BP_CONT/BPCONTOverview->EH_ONSAVE method.
In this method at line (below) the save badi is triggered:-
IF cl_crm_uiu_bp_tools=>save( ir_message_service = lr_msg_service ) = abap_true.
In the above method - CL_CRM_UIU_BP_TOOLS=>SAVE( ) the save event handler is triggered :-
* trigger ON_SAVE for registered handlers
raise_save_event( ).
If you want the default to happen when you navigate to CP Screen , you'll have to put the defaulting code in an implementation of a different badi - BADI_CRM_BP_UIU_DEFAULTS.

Same Business Partner as both Vendor and Customer !!!!

Hi,
Our client has a customer, say XYZ, who is also a vendor to our client. XYZ sends them Raw Material and bills them for that. Our client sends him Finished goods and bills him for that.
When he pays our client, the amount for multiple bills of Finished Goods delivery, he adjusts the Purchase Bills with reference to his A/P Invoice Number in the total A/R Invoice value for those bills.
How to adjust that and handle this case in SAP B1???

Business Partner who is vendor and customer

Please explain me the logic behind the concept that we should not buy from customer and we should not sell to vendor in [SAP Business One|http://www.brio.co.in/sapbusinessoneoverview.aspx]. In real life it happens frequently that we buy and sell to a same person. Is there any work around? or is there any update 2007 where we can sell and purchase from same business partner.

Business Partner Roles and Account Life Cycle management in IC

Hi all,
We have IC agents creating prospects but also back office people (i.e. sales staff) creating prospects. Back office staff uses account life cycle management to identify the prospect role. However, I noticed that the business partner role (prospect in this case) is not visible within the IC - during account creation - because the role is used within the account life cycle role exclusion group.
I can always enhance the IC component to remove the filter on the BP Role. but question I have is why does SAP IC remove the roles from the role drop down list in the IC account creation screen and how did other people get around this?
Thanks,
John

I am also looking for an answer on this. How did other people who work on Interaction Center get around this? How do you create accounts when IC removes the BP roles mentioned in the Exclusion group config in SPRO ?

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.

Using Business Partner versus Customer/Vendor master

What could be the business scenarios in ERP2005, when Business Partner (BP) functionality should be used rather (or addition) than older Customer/Vendor master?
I know that in CRM the BP is mandatory, but still CRM can interact with ERP's customer master using middleware replication. I also know that some ERP industry solutions like IS-U uses BP instead of customer master.
I know that when maintaining a partner with tcode BP, also the customer master tables (KNA*) gets updated if partner has a Sales role. Thus system automatically updates both BP and customer master data. But does it work other way round?
But if no CRM nor ERP industry solutions are within current solution landscape are there any other business scenarios why BP should be chosen instead of customer/vendor master?
In a virgin ERP2005 project, is it a good practise to start with BP already from the beginning even if benefits of it are not yet recognized?
I know that many ERP2005 projects are live without BP, so a it cannot be a "must" at least.
best regards,
Kim

Hi,
Just to check, try running from the synchronization cockpit for your scenario from the master data reconcillation. Give your BP number and try running BP -- Customer sync. In this you can check the PPO logs and check where the error is. It will show the exact error you are getting.
For BP, you can also try creating it in FI customer role, which will have all the customer master data.

Ravi

Unable to create Business Partner - Organization and Group

Hello Experts,
I am learning SAP CRM, I am working on version 5.0. I am not able to create BP in Org and Group, but I am able to create the person. I made few changes in BP role, since then I am not able to create BP in Org and Group...these both are deactivated...
Plz help me...
All valid answers would be given points....that's sure...!!!
Thanks all..Happy Posting...

Hi
Check the roles that are not hidden.
Are the categories Org and Group assigned to them?
To do so, the path is IMG>Cross-Application Components> SAP Business Partner--> Business Partner > Basic Settings> Business Partner Roles-->Define BP Roles
Here choose the option BP Role categories, now double click on the role you will see if it is permitted with the categories Org and Group.
Incase you done have the Org or Group checked for your visible BP Roles, it will not permit to create Orgs and Groups. Check Org or Group category and you should be able to create BPs in these categories.
Hope this helps

Business Partner Datasources and ARFCSSTATE table data increase

Hi Experts,
I´ve been facing a performance decrease in SAP ECC data loading throughout the days, since we´ve started productive system (about 10 days).
During data loading, we have noticed an considerable amount of time spent by WP on reading table ARFCSSTATE. We checked note 375566, but there´s nothing that could be done to revert the situation.
Our ARFCSSTATE table has now 3.5M records, whereas our Business Partner master data datasources represent 99% of this data volume as can be checked in transaction SMQS (qRFC).
We also have noticed that 2.8M records of this table has status = "RECORDED", but I don´t if this data should remain in this table (ARFCSSTATE).
Anyway, as we are not advised to delete all these records manually, I´m wandering what we could do to prevent this table to increase considerably.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
If delta loads go through fine, the records should get deleted from the table you mentioned.
Please check the following notes:
516251 - Support guide: Problems with ARFCSTATE = RECORDED
500316 - Delta request: Deletion from delta queue no longer executed
380078 - FAQ: BW delta queue (RSA7): Questions and answers
Also it would be good to check if any of your logistics extractors are using the 'direct delta' method. this also considerably affects the load performance when there are more number of delta records. There would be many LUWs getting written to delta queue this way.
