Business Partner Search using Sales Area Fields

Hi,
I am wondering if anybody knows how to enable sales area fields as search criterias for business partner search?
The component is BP_HEAD_SEARCH. When I go into configuration of view BP_HEAD_SEARCH/MainSearch I find no Sales Area related available search criterias. Am I the first to ask for this option or did SAP ignore the requirements of the customers? It seems for me to be a very basic requirement.
Please help.
Thanks!

Hello,
This option has never been present in any previous CRM versions and not in the 2007.
If you want this functionality I guess you'll have to develop it from scratch.
I would agree with you that this is a basic requirement if it's a R/3 system where business partners are more sales area oriented. But this is a CRM system...

New HTML for Business Partner Search in CIC0

Hi,
I created a new HTML object, copy of CRM_CIC_SEARCH_DISPLAY, in SMW0, changed the HTML code and assigned this new HTML to my Business Partner Search profile.
But when testing this change it seems that the HTML is incorrect because when I search and confirm the BP, the fields in the HTML are not filled with the BP information.
I imported the HTML code to the HTML object CRM_CIC_SEARCH_DISPLAY and it works fine. So the problem is not with the code, but with the HTML object itself. Is there any need to activate it or something like that?!
Thanks a lot!
Susana Messias

Hello Susana,
please check if you have done all the necessary steps:
1. Copy in transaction SMW0 the HTML template CRM_CIC_SEARCH_DISPLAY      an own one (Z_<YOURNAME>.htm).
2. Export this new template to your local PC and use a HTML Editor to
   work on this file (like Frontpage).
3. Import this new page in SMW0 again to the copied Web object.
4. Make sure in transaction CRMC_CIC_SEARCH_CNTR the mapping of the
   fields is setup for the new template (copy all entries of the
   standard template).
5. Make sure the new web object is assigned to the search profile in
   CRMC_CIC_SEARCH_RULE

Enhancement of Business Partner (Relationships) using BDT -Bus Data Toolset

Dear Experts,
I have a requirement from my customer enhancing the Business Partner Relationships using BDT.
I should add 2 fields namely salary, employer start date in the Business partner Relationships, it must be added in the characteristics of relationships as one employee can have multiple employers and vice versa.
If I would like to add the fields in Business Relationships using BDT, are the steps same as adding fields in business partner? or do we need to perform any other steps? Did someone already did this type of modification, please provide your suggestions.
After adding the fields is it possible to cusomize the fields for history of the changes? e.g. if salary field has been newly added and after creating a BP after some days I want to change the salary and for the changed salary I want to have a history.
I would appreciate if you can help me with your suggestions.
Many thanks and best regards,
Afroz

Problem with SRM Business Partner enhancement using EEWB.

Hello Gurus,
I am doing Business Partner Enhancement using EEWB. basically adding new tab with few data fields. After using EEWB, the new tab hasbeen generated automatically and BP is creating successfully and data is stored in tables.
But in the custom tab, the fields are displaying in table format after using EEWB. User dont want in the table control, and they want normal screen fields.
How can we do that. After that, will it reflect to portal automatically or do we need to do any thing?
Pls suggest me.
Regards,
Ram

High-speed business partner search

Hi, all
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm60/helpdata/fr/b0/7ff3f1b791481f89147cacc02de8bc/content.htm
If high-speed business partner search is set up in your system, you can enable it in the account identification profile so that all interaction center (IC) agents assigned to this profile can use high-speed search to identify accounts in the IC WebClient. For searching large numbers of business partner records, high-speed search is more efficient than standard search because it stores and indexes your account data in main memory. To maximize the availability of high-speed search, the data is updated from the database once every six hours (default setting), though you can change this setting to balance freshness of data with maximum system performance.
Do you know about successfully implementation of this functionality?
Do you use this functionality?

How to Remove Business Partner Address using DI Server

Hello,
I need to remove Business Partner Addresses using DI Server, the example in the SDK only mentions the remove of the entire business partner, but I need to delete only one of the business partner addresses, how can it be done?

Hi,
the usage of the "UpdateWithSubDeletion" method of B1 object atom might be an option.
You need to update the complete business Partner with the changed amount of addresses.
The usage is tricky, you need to retrieve the BP, which you want to update, first via synchronous retrieval method using import/export mode.
From the retrieval result you should start to update every segment with all fields including the BPAddresses segment in exactly the same sorting order as displayed from the synchronous retrieval.

BUPA_DEL: Business partner still used in business transactions

Hello,
I try deleting some out-dated Business Partners by tr. BUPA_DEL.
But the transaction prevents from deleting BPs saying "Business partner still used in business transactions".
But I can not find in what business transactions these BPs are used.
Tr. S_SMC_47000016 don't show any support messages which belong to these BPs.

Hello,
Please try the transaction CRMD_ORDER_BP. Perhaps it could help.

Business Partner Creation/Display - General Data fields are missing

Hi,
We have an issue in our ECC6.0 system. In FPP1/FPP2/FPP3 transactions General data fields such as Driver's license, SSN, Employee class are missing under Identification tab. But the same are displayed in BP transaction code. What configuration would causing this issue.

I found a SAP Note 844949 which is talking about the same kind of issue. As per the note I regenerated subscreen containers for application object BUPA.
Call transaction BUSP and generate the subscreen containers for the application objects BUPA, FICA and BUPR. To do this, set the "All screens" indicator under "Generate All Screens or Just Selected Screens".
If this does not correct the incorrect display, use transaction BUPT for the business partner or transaction CAWM for the contract account to make sure that the fields are not missing due to the field modifications. (If you cannot call these transactions, exit the SAP Easy Access menu by using /n and then call BUPT or CAWM.

Sales Area Fields Mandatory Dialog Box not coming up

Hello Forum,
We have the Business Partner PCUI Application - CRMM_ACCOUNT, where in, there are mandatory fields made under Tab General Information and Sales Area. We have done the necessary changes in field grp settings and generated the layouts. for relevant field groups.
When we create New Business Partner, the control is on the 'General Information' TAB. PCUI doesnot allow to save the business partner, unless, mandatory fields are filled out. It gves a Javascript Popup to fill the mandatory fields.
But the same is not the case with Sales Area Tab, When we select Sales Area (Either by using Template Functionality or Selecting the Sales Area Manually), the fields in this TAB strangely remain in Readable Format only. No Changes are allowed to be incorporated. In this case there is no dialog box prompting for filling the mandatory fields. Also, it allows to save business partner w/o filling the sales area data mandatory fields.
However, when we save, Change The Tabs (I.e. Goto General Information and come back to Sales Area Data, it sometimes enables the fields for Entry under Sales Area). And then it starts doing the mandatory field check in Sales Area Tab.
Request, if anybody can provide, clues for this behaviour and resolution.
Regards
Tushar Kansara

type in the address bar '''about:config'''
then press the button''' i'll be careful i promise'''

Fast Order Entry - Business Partner Search / Suggestion

Hi Experts,
is there a way to configure the Business Partner suggestion as shown on the screenshot? Is it somehow possible that I enter the name of the partner , lets say 'miller' and the system automatically suggest the corresponding business partner 1000US_A40 (= Miller Furniture )? Or is the only way to use F4? The goal is to manually create an order as fast as possible, therefore the search with F4 is too time consuming.
Thanks a lot
Best Regards,
Tom

I've noticed that in my use of the system, in similar scenarios for example; selecting a resource it will only suggest items based on the specific field you're entering.
With our resources (vehicles, trailers) the Fleet ID number is used as the identifier field but the operational staff tend to refer to equipment by it's registration number. So if we try to type in the registration number (a different field), the suggested values do not recognise it.
The screen capture above in the original post appears to display this as well - field holds the identifier number but the request is for part of the description field to be entered and used within the suggested values. The connection here is that the description field is similar to our registration field in that they aren't the primary identifier fields.
In regards to Bharath's suggestions, (1) appears to already be enabled since the suggested values have popped up. The questions is whether or not a search term relating to a field (that isn't the Ordering Party ID) can be typed and the suggested values will recognise the connection.
Granted, I understand this isn't an answer. I simply wanted to weigh in on this discussion as I face a similar issue that we're unsure of how to solve.

Business Partner search

Hi All,
we have a system where Employees are created in R/3 and transferred to CRM using pfal.
Employee number in R/3 and the BP number generated in CRM are different.
While trying to staff a person using BP number, the search term 1 and search term2 are given as Last name and first name respectively. How can this be changed. Where is the configuration done for this?
I want to make the employee id in R/3 as the search term1. is it possible?
thanks,

Please setup proper config at following link in SPRO
Cross-Application-- SAP Business Partner- Basic settings Define Roles
And all other required config also than try.

Creation of Business partner by using the vendor master

Dear all ,
I have a requirement as follows. I Have already vendor master created in MM .Now the requirement is while creating Business partner I have to use this vendor as the business partner .
Can experts suggest the possibility of this .
Regards.
Arjun.

Hello Arjun,
Yes, this feature also works in 4.7. What has happened is that in ECC 6.0 the BP functinality has been totally redefined with a lot of automations. As such, if properly configured then in ECC 6.0 there is no practical use of the FLBPD/FLBPC Tcodes. However, in 4.7, both these traqnsactions should be working fine. The SAP ntes that I have mentioned are however only for ECC 6.0.
Kind regards,
