Business Partner Syncroniation between RE-FX and AR

Hello,
I am in the process of migrating a customer's system from classic real estate to RE-FX using the migration tool REMICL.
Currently the customer adopts the process whereby business partners are manually created from customer records via the partners tab of the classic real estate lease-out contract. If any changes are made to the BP name or address, these are NOT transferred across to the corresponding customer record - even though the two records are linked.
Having carried out a test migration, the new RE-FX system is now working slightly differently, in that any changes to the business partner address are immediately transferred to the customer record and vice versa. Although I can understand why this is best practice, as the data is kept consistent, unfortunately this is a scenario the customer wishes to avoid!
Is there anyway of amending the syncroniation settings so that while the two records can be linked - any name or address amendments made to each one do not get copied over to the other?
One other option I thought may be worth further analysis would be to only maintain syncroniation between the customer and the general role of the BP, and then to somehow keep the tenant role separate from the syncronisation - so only updates made to the general role would feed back to the customer, whilst updates to the tenant role did not. I am guessing this would not be possible though...
I look forward to your responses,
Oliver

hi
to astablish the relationship between the product and business partner,first of all u should know that products are assigned according to thye category
mapping of the category to the product is made then the products are identified according to the product id.
now Bp are assigned to the org unit ,so under org unit maintain the org data like
sales org,sales unit and sales group
in those u will maintain the product master i.e. the categories along with the products
this way the product get related with the business partners

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.

Dave

Business Content: Difference between Articles, Products and Material

Hi experts,
what is exactly the difference between the repositories of the business content for
- Articles
- Products and
- Material?
In which business cases do I have to choose which repository? Maybe articles for retail, material for manufacturing, etc.?
When I am using business content repositories is there any kind of (customizing) data that is necessary in more than one repository (e.g. plants, units, etc.) so that it has to be maintained twice in two different repositories?
Thanks for your answers. Of course helpful answers will be rewarded.
BR, bd

Hi,
First of all please make your question clear.
On the other hand I don't think you required two different kind
of repositories for a particular master data object(AS Material)
in terms of activation of standerd business content.
Because there is no relevance if you are considering to make two different repositories with two different field of Material say
Unit, Plants..it is kind of reference data for a particular object(Material). and by making two different Repo. there will be no relavance otherwise you can make it.
Hope it helps.

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

Same business partner number for SRM and backend system

Hello all, I am working in SRM 7.0 in a classic scenario.
I am trying to replicate vendors from backend system to SRM, but I want that all vendors have same number in two systems, for example:
Vendor 1000 in backend shows as 1000 in SRM
How can I do it?
Thanks in advance
Rosa Rodríguez

Hello,
A. You need to customizing settings in SRM system
1. Define Number ranges as External (Same number ranges which are maintained in R3 backend sytem)
(Tcode:BUCF / Path: IMG --> Cross-Application Components --> SAP Business Partner > Basic Settings> Number Ranges and Groupings --> Define Number Ranges)
2. Define Groupings and Assign Number Ranges (Path: IMG --> Cross-Application Components --> SAP Business Partner > Basic Settings> Number Ranges and Groupings --> Define Groupings and Assign Number Ranges )
B. Before replication you need extract payment terms and UOM in SRM system & Create the Vendor root org structure (Tcode: PPOCV_BBP)
@Experts: Please add if i miss any thing apart from this.

Business Partner - Number Ranges and Groupings

Hello,
A few weeks ago, we are activated RMCA components and activated Telecommunications 6.0 in a sand box client.
Now we are doing customizing and application of BP.
We want, and we could, to range BP in number range from 1 to 9999999999, as the costumers appear in our CRM system. But the problem is that we cannot do the same with AR/SD costumers because we already have old AR/SD costumers, not the same person, in the same range and we don't have not used range.
I know that we can to convert AR/SD costumers groups, but that problem is that we need to convert costumers number.
How we can open in the same number, the BP and AR/SD costumer? Can we reorganize the old SD costumers?
We sure that we are not the first company that implement RMCA in the middle of life cycle that already have AR/SD costumers.
With best regards,
Galia Ribinik.

RM-CA: Number ranges and groupings
Choose the following in the Customizing: Cross-Application Components ® SAP Business Partner ® Business Partner ® Basic Settings ® Number Ranges and Groupings.
Define the corresponding number ranges externally in RM-CA and ensure that this RM-CA number range includes both the internal and external CRM number range.
You can choose any name for the group, but it must be the same as the name in CRM.
SD Customer Mapping
Choose the following in Customizing: Financial Accounting ® Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable ® Customer Accounts ® Master Data ®Preparations for Creating Customer Master Data ® Create Number Ranges for Customer Accounts.
If you also want to create an SD customer during business partner replication, you must create a separate number range for this customer. Assign this number range to the corresponding account group. Choose the following in Customizing: Financial Accounting ® Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable ® Customer Accounts ®Master Data ® Preparations for Creating Customer Master Data ® Assign Number Ranges to Customer Account Groups.
·SD Customer Mapping
Choose the following in Customizing: Financial Accounting ® Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable ® Customer Accounts ® Master Data ® Preparations for Creating Customer Master Data ®Define Account Groups with Screen Layout (Customers).
You must reconcile the account group settings for the business partner with the corresponding field groups for the business partner in CRM. If for example a field in RM-CA is not defined as a mandatory field in CRM, replication will fail if an entry has not been made in this field in CRM.
Use the PIDE transaction to control which CRM business partner classification is mapped to a specific account group in RM-CA.
Define the reverse situation here using the corresponding number range grouping.
· Create and assign an SD sample customer
To generate an SD customer in RM-CA during the business partner replication, you require a reference business partner. This is used as a template during creation.
Choose the following in the system: Logistics ® Sales and Distribution ® Master Data ® Business Partner ® Customer ® Create ® Sales and Distribution (Transaction VD01).
Create the sample customer using the account group described in the preceding step. The system name for the sample customer must start with the letters u201CMUSTu201D (such as MUSTER_TELCO).
You must also create the sales area data for the customer. Note that you must maintain each sales area used accordingly.
· Assign SD sample customer
Assign the sample customer in the TCRMBP_REFCUST table (transaction SM30) and define the corresponding determination. If you only want the system to determine a specific sample customer, you can leave the Business partner category, Group and Partner type fields blank.

Business partner deletion - master data

In SAP Note 1111635 -Business partner cannot be deleted
try to delete a business partner or a contact person. This is not
possible bcoz address cannot be deleted because there are other references .
1) deletion of the address, because it used to be used as a sender or recipient for
e-mails, faxes and so on .
If we use address within BUSINESS COMMUNICTION SERVICES   (BCS )
the system writes a where-used list for this address.This reference is a link between the address and the sent document. We can only delete the address when this link no longer exists.
HOW DO WE DELETE THE LINK BETWEEN ADRESS AND THE SENT DOCUMENT   ?
In SAP Note 556538 - Archiving business partner for the employee role
Business partners in the employee role are linked to an object called the
central person. This object originates from the HR-PD framework and is used
to integrate the business partner with the HR-PD framework. The central
person does not have an archiving function. Only the business partner can
be archived. However, the business partner has the employee role and is
thus linked with a central person (and therefore cannot be archived).
HOW DO WE REMOVE THE LINK BETWEEN BUSINESS PARTNER u2013ROLE , EMPLOYEE AND CENTRAL PERSON   ??

Hello Jorgito,
Without deleting transactional data. I guess you mean without deleting all the data from de cubes. But you want to get rid of the transactional data of BP type "C".
Go to the manage screen of the cube involved.
Go to the tab 'Contents'
click on the button 'Selective Deletion' (right-side at the bottom)
On the pop-up click on the button 'Delete selections'
Fill in type 'C'
Start the job.
I hope this will help you.

How to differenciate betwen Business Partner

Hello Guys,
I have created two business partner.One of type Organisation and another of type Person.
Once I saved them and reopen them,i dont see any difference based on that I can differentiate.
In this case I can remeber which one is of which type as I have created.
But assume a case when a user has created 2 BP,on what basis will i differenciate.
PS: I have notice BP type provided by SAP 0001 & 0002 But no where I found which one is of type organisation or which one is of type Person.
Can any one help .
Thanks & Best Regadrs
Rahul

Rahul,
When you goto BP screen for Business partner as a person you see value of title will be Mr. or Ms. but when you see title:company which means it is Business Partner as a organization.
Summary:Business partner Organization has title only <b>Company</b>
<br>
Business partner person has title only <b>Mr.</b> or <b>Ms. </b><br>
From title field you can make out difference between organization and person as a business partner.
let me know for any quires.
Thanks,
Nikhil

X200 The gap between the LCD and frame is unacceptable

Hi, My roommate and I received x200 last week and both of our x200 have the same problem. The gap(1 mm) between the LCD and frame is unacceptable (the left and right handside and especially the lower side of the frame) and when you touch it, it feels like a plastic toy. I compare it with x61, x61s, T61 which belongs to my friends and they do not have that problem.
I am not sure whether this is a serious problem or not and whether we can fix it by ourself.
Thank you for reading and replying.

I took some photos and I can not find how to attach them.
Well, about this problem, Lenovo asked me to go to some business partner to look for technician and the technician said that is not a techincal problem and it is engineering problem... They can not fix it.
And my friend told me that this is a normal problem maybe because lenovo change the material of the inside part of thinkpad.
So, I decided to return it.

Business Partner Creation ( Master Tenant with Customer Account)

Hello Experts
Am trying to create a master tenant with a customer account, but as i save the business partner there is no corresponding creation of the master tenant with a customer account in the company code. The system only generates a business partner created. I have cheked the settings on business partner customer and have the correct FI custmer acount to the business partner, have also checked settings on the assignment of the reconciliation account to the BP and again it is compatible with the customer reconciliation account in Financials. I have also the synchronization data to see whether the synchronization object is activated, and it was not activated and i activated it, but still am not able to create a master tenant with customer account.
Please Experts help me on this am very very stranded
Regards
David Mavi

Hi David,
Following activities are to be done to create customer simultaneously while the creation of business partner.
Business Partner Number Range: IMG>Flexible Real Estate Management (RE-FX)>Business Partner>Relevant Settings for Business Partner in RE Context>Number Range>Business Partner Number Range
Define Grouping and number range: IMG>Flexible Real Estate Management (RE-FX)>Business Partner>Relevant Settings for Business Partner in RE Context>Number Range>Define Groupings and Assign Number Ranges
Also make sure that the customer account group is created with a number range which should be external. The number range for the business partner should be internal.
Master Data syncronization: IMG>Cross Application Components>Master Data Synchronization>Customer/Vendor Integration>Business Partner Settings>Settings for Customer Integration>Field Assignment for Customer Integration>Assign Keys>Define Number Assignment for Direction of BP to Customer
In the settings select the same number range only if the number ranges for the customer account group and BP groups are the same.
If u have done all these things and still the customer is not getting created then there might be a problem of the mandatory fields. i.e may be in customer account group some fields are mandatory which are not getting copied from the BP. So make all the fields in the customer account group as optional. and try to create new BP again.

Count of number of campaigns executed for a business partner?

Hi all
I'm hoping someone can advise me on how to fulfil this requirement. Basically I need to find a way of ensuring that customers are only included in a maximum of five campaigns per month.
My current idea centres around
1) Creating an interaction object for each business partner every time they are included in an executed campaign
2) To execute a custom-developed program (or a BW query?) that will count the number of interaction objects created per business partner in the past month and write the count value to a marketing attribute called "campaign count" assigned to each business partner
3) Exclude any business partners with "campaign count" >=5 from the target group of future campaigns
I'm sure there's a cleaner and better way of doing this. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks
Mike

Create Employee as a Business partner using BAPI

Hi,
I created a business partner using the BAPI,
"BAPI_BUP_CREATE_FROM_DATA". I used this within a program. The business partner gets successfully created and gets reflected in the table BUT000. But I do not see it when I run the user exit "RPM_EMPDATA".Because of this I am not able to see the business partner inside cProjects. I am able to see the business partner inside the transaction BP. When I go into change mode and change the role (from Business partner role to Resource role),and when I save this business partner I am able to see the details in the user exit RPM_EMPDATA. I am also able to assign this business partner to tasks in cProjects.

Is possible to book a Business Partner or a candidate in a course?

Hi all,
I wonder if it is possible book people in courses, if that people are registered as candidates through E-Recruiting.
This situation arises because the company I'm working now wish to train their candidates and have a record of these trainings.
Through E-Recruiting, candidates are generated as a Business Partner or candidates (object NA) and these objects are not available to register for any course.
Thanks

Hello,
Whatever the scenario of e-recruiting Integrated to HCM system or in stand alone, it's not doable.
if your e-recruiting system is set up as a stand-alon system (HR and e-Rec a separated) the only way to send the Candidate through HR-LSO would be by the hiring action, it means you should convert the candidate to a person.
if your e-recruiting module is integrated to the HCM system (which shouldn't be done as it causes many security issue), The candidate is linked to a user, even if you might be able to use this user in LSO, many functionnalities would be disable as no real PA master data exist (external candidates).
Although you might see hire the external candidate in PA, under a specific employee group and sub group and payroll area which is out of the payroll process.

Authorizations: On Business Partner, there is no "read only" option

Hi everybody,
I am trying to allow users to see a Business Partner (for example, when creating a sales order, they should be able to search for a customer and to see details about it), but I don't want them to be able to create or update a Business partner.
In SBO, there is no option "Read only" fro Business partner.
We have "addind a business partner"               No or Full authorization
and         "Business partner type" Customers No or Full authorization
Do you have a solution for me ?

Thats correct if you give ADD / UPDATE it applies to both Customers and Vendors.
There is no setting by BP type, it applies for all BP's.
I did not understand this "I didn't see that there is an authorization at "chapter" level..."
In the Authorization window when you expand Business Partners you would see
<li>Adding Business Partner
<li> <h3> Business Partner Master Data </h3>
At the Business Partner Master Data   change the setting to Read-Only
