Business Partner ID same as SAP User ID

Hi All,
We have one SAP Service Desk Implementation going on.
There is an intresting requirement as follows:
1) BP ID generated should be same as their respective SAP User ID, irrespective of the BP Role.
2) First Run for Mass Generation has to be done and that should take care of point 1.
3) Business Partners should be automatically created by system whenever a new SAP User ID is created in system landscape.
I know that if i use external number range, this can be done. Moreover there is one standard BP Mass Creation program also. But challenge is to find setting which makes this BP ID generated same as SAP User ID.
In past, I have manually created external BPs like this because volume was very low in those projects... but now we have more than 1000+ users whose will be associated with service desk.
Please advice.
Regards,
SM

Hi,
there is a technical problem with your request:
BP numbers are limited to 10 characters but user IDs can have up to 12 characters.
So you will not be able to set BP number = user ID if you have user IDs with more than 10 characters.
Regards,
Christoph

Keeping Business Partner numbering same in ECC and GTS

Hi Experts,
Does anyone have experience on projects/clients where the Numbering for Customers/vendor in ECC and the related Business Partner in GTS is same?
For an example: Customer# 12345, BP#12345 in ECC.
In GTS: BP# 12345.
We are planning to use MDG system for Master data distribution across systems. I believed it is possible to keep the Numbering same just like we do in SRM.
But on checking further in detail, I feel it is not possible in standard. Can someone provide their inputs on if this can be achieved with standard setup.
On checking the code in GTS, I can see Number range group in GTS is determined in FM BUP_CHECK_GROUPING. This FM uses Internal numbering always when there is no BP# is sent from ECC for the Customer/Vendor#. Only if the BP# is sent, system will look for external number range.
In ECC, the standard code is always keeping BP# and Numbering grouping as blank/space in FM /SAPSLL/DEBMAS_1006_MAP_R3. Which means standard SAP doesn't allow keeping BP Numbers sync'd in ECC and GTS.
So, I am not sure if this is possible with standard setup. Can someone confirm please?
If not possible, I will look for enhancements.
Thanks in advance!!!
Regards
Dhilipan

Hi Dhilipan,
I briefly checked the program code. In the API1006_HEAD structure, field BPARTNER is transferred to GTS with value <SPACE> (hard-coded in Function Module /SAPSLL/DEBMAS_1006_MAP_R3), and I think that might be the field you'd need to use.
From what I can see, that field is used as the Partner Number in GTS if it is filled; otherwise field EXTERN_NO is used. So it would be worth a try (in debug) to fill the BPARTNER field (max. 10 characters) and see what happens.
I'm not sure how the Number Range is assigned - it could involve some "profiles", or perhaps be a nice surprise. I'm sure you'll have fun in finding out: do please let us know.
Regards,
Dave

Align Employee Business Partner Master Data Between SAP HR and SAP CRM

We have been using SAP R/3 since 1999 and crm since 2004, in 2008 we implemented SAP HR. Historically our employee data (for those business units using CRM) has been maintained in CRM directly however since the HR implementation all employees now exist in HR and the companies whole organisational structure exists there also. I am implementing a new CRM project for a business unit that has never had crm before and as a result there employees do not exist in CRM. I am thinking about leveraging our recent HR implementation to take this business units employee data from SAP HR into CRM rather then have to create this data again in CRM. Is it possible to filter the integration between hr and crm to facilitate the transfer of a specfic subset of employees eg from one specific business unit? If so how is this achieved? Are there any negative impacts of such an approach.
Thanks in advance

More than one business partner in SNC for a user

Hi Gurus,
When creating relationship for an SNC planner in BP transaction i am able to assign more than one business partners, However when i log into webui i get an error saying BP is not unique and first one is taken. We have a requirement for users to plan for more than one vendors, how can i achieve this if only one BP is allowed on webui?
J.

Hey Juraj .. yeah man, I will send an email later on ..
But your issue seems to be interesting. Just to understand better, you are trying to implement VMI (RR) scenario and you want to have more than 1 organization (BP) for the Supplier side -- meaning you want to group multiple plants into their multiple BPs. I don't understand the reason behind this; why would have you more than 1 BP for the same vendor organization ?? Unless we are talking about a marketplace kind of a setup -- where SNC is being setup for multiple vendors serving multiple customers? Is that the case?
Anyway, I don't know of any standard SNC procedure to achieve your objective. Once option that comes to mind is control access by user -- so, you will have still have only 1 BP for all the Ship-from locations but in the user authorization (C_APO_LOC and/or C_APO_PROD) you control what locations this user can actually view. One other alternative is to investigate the SELECTION MODE/OBJECTS -- but I haven't played with it to understand it. Maybe it might address your need.. Let me know how you end up resolving this...

Create business partner with role 'Internet User' via BP

Hi,
We want to create business partner with role 'BUP005 Internet User'
for purpose to link with created early user su01.
It's work via isauseradm application, Web UI.
Now I want to create new role 'BUP005 Interner user' via GUI. I started Tcode BP.
I filled USERNAME, password, roles. I tried to save BP.
I got this error:
Enter the Internet user
Message no. R11214
You have maintained attributes (logon data, roles and/or fixed values) for the Internet user, without having entered the Internet user itself.
But,
Field 'INTERNETUSER' is not changeble.
Denis.

Hi, DJ
Thank you for answer)
1. Have you saved the BP. If Yes, just see if the INTERNET USER maintained is available in SU01.
Yes, but I can not see INTERNET USER in the BP.
2. If you are not able to assign the INTERNET USER, please try to maintain the INTERNET USER in BP.
I can not do it, because I can not change field INTERNET USER
3. If the INTERNET USER field is not available, just check the authorization for the same.
I has all authorization: sap_all.

Business partner Initial Download

Here is description of Business Partner setup:
CRM - Account groups - Prospective - Soldto
                                        Soldto
                                        Shipto
ECC- Account groups - soldto
                                       Shipto
There are some more but in order to ask my question i have listed few:
We are converting data from Legacy system and it is new SAP ECC/CRM Implementation
We are going to create Prospective in CRM will replicate it to ECC under classification Prospect
In ECC we will do account group switch from Prospect to Customer keeping business partner id same by defining same number range for Prospect and Customer account group in ECC. By middlware enhancment we will replicate customer to CRM and change prospect to Customer in CRM keep same business partner number.
My Question is for Legacy Data conversion:
Data conversion strategy is to load data to ECC system and then do Intial download to CRM.
My concern is how does initial download work in terms of numbering the BP. I am going to load all customers in ECC and download to CRM.
Once we are done with initial download we will fall back to strategy of creating prospect in CRM and later doing account group switch in ECC to customer so number range in ECC is external for customers. But for data conversion legacy system is going to hit ECC -- How do we control number range ?

Hi Murali,
As backend ERP system was a pretty old system, we had to implement 1067977. After this, the Middeware was working fine.
Sunil,
You could try implementing this note to solve your problem

No Business Partner generated for new employee transfer from ECC to SRM

Hi All,
I am working on SRM 5.0 with ECC 6.0 backend. The HR structure is replicated from ECC using ALE, message type:HRMD_ABA.
When I am trying to replicate a new employee from ECC to SRM, I run the O-insert first, then the S-insert and then the P-insert using PFAL transaction.
The Org structure was already in place in SRM, so it just adds the new position to it by A003 relation. The S-insert generated idoc shows status as '53' in both ECC and SRT with the relation A003, B007 and A008. But, when I check the table HRP1001, the A008 entry is missing. Due to this, no CP is generated for this position and also no business partner is generated for this user.
When I run the P-insert for this employee, the idoc is posted in ECC. But, the status of the idoc in SRT is '52' and the message shown is "The Parameter Country Has Not been Entered During Naming Format Check" Message No. R11206.
I checked the Name Format for this employee, and it is maintained as 2.
Where am I going wrong? Why is no CP person generated even when the idoc status is 53? Why isn't the new employee getting transferred to SRM server?
I have checked the SAP notes related to HR-ECC Org transfer, but I am unable to figure out the reason for this problem.
Could anyone help me out in this?
Regards,
Ancy

Maintained the name format tables (SA13)on ECC and SRM side.

Business content - Customer, Business Partner or both

Hi
We have a task where we need to decide which business content to choose: Customer or Business Partner. Our current requirements points out that we can fulfill 90% of the requirement by utilizing the Customer information modell in SAP ECC.
Our MDM scenario (decentralized MDM strategy) looks like this:
Customer created in SAP ECC and then sent via SAP PI to SAP MDM. From SAP MDM the customer data is then distributed to SAP CRM and other non-SAP systems.
Should we utilize both the business content (Customer, Business Partner) in SAP MDM as templates since the business content for Customer is based on ECC and business content for Business Partner is based on SAP CRM. If so I assume that we need to create a syndication to the Business Partner repository for each customer created in the Customer repository. Then we need to initiate a syndication to SAP CRM from the Business Partner repository. Is it better in this scenario to have Customer- and Business Partner in the same repository?
So two questions based on the above input:
Which Business content to use Business Partner, Customer or both?
Should they be in separate repositories or in the same? (I understand that by keeping them in the same we create a more tight connection so that if you want to make changes in the Customer repository we need to unload the repository and thereby also influencing the Business Parter related harmonization processes).

Hello Göran,
Customer created in SAP ECC and then sent via SAP PI to SAP MDM.
From SAP MDM the customer data is then distributed to SAP CRM and other non-SAP systems.
I would suggest to consider Centralized MDM strategy (Still like to know the thought behind Decentralized MDM Strategy).
Customer should be created first in SAP MDM and then it should be syndicated to other systems.
Benefits of having Centralized MDM strategy are...
1. You can differentiate between potential Customers and Actual Customer by implementing Approval process.
2. You can use MDM key strength, that is Match & Merge feature which help avoiding duplicates.
3. You cat get most out of SAP MDM using Centralized MDM strategy.
Which Business content to use Business Partner, Customer or both?
Depends on your business need.
Should they be in separate repositories or in the same?
Having them in two independent repositories will be beneficial, because...
1. For avoiding tight connection (as you stated)
2. You can use SAP Business Content very well.
3. Repositories created based on SAP Business Content will be flexible from long term perspective (Upgrade, Maintenance etc).

Business Partner in Solution Manager

Hi Experts,
I met with a problem when I try to create a support message.
I have created the business partner ID (31) for my user ID with the Role of Business Partner(Gen.) and Employee. I have also specify the <System ID><Installation Number><Client><User ID> (Separated by space in between) in the Identification tab with the ID type as CRM0001.
I try to create a support message by entering the mandatory field and hit "Enter" button, then after that I click on the "Save" button. The system prompt an error message indicating that "Business Partner 31 cannot be the reporter". But if I just click "Save" button without hitting "Enter" after entering the mandatory field, I will not hit with this problem.
Is there anything that I need to do in order to overcome this problem?
Best regards,
