Business Partners - Alternate Payee Details

Dear Members,
I have a Business Partner, a supplier that has requested that we pay their invoices to a u201Cfinance companyu201D instead of them.
How can I setup their records so that the payment file for upload to our bank i.e. the electronic funds transfer file (EFT) file, has the u201Cfinance companyu2019su201D bank details, most importantly the name of the finance company appears in the EFT file. At the moment I can easily change the bank details, but cannot change the name, without changing the BPu2019s name, something we donu2019t wish to do.
Any assistance/advice will be appreciated.
Regards

Hi,
Have you checked the option of Consolidating Business Partner - Payment under the Accounting tab of the Business Partner Master Data?
Check the option in Demo if the same helps your issue. You can also check the option of endorsement but i am not too sure that the same would be helpful.

Business partners synchronization

Hi
We have FSCM configured with collections, disputes and Credit management. All 3 of them are active and working in production. We are migrating another business into existing implemented SAP FSCM.
In Existing implementation we have business partners created for every customer created in AR. All of them were numbered sequentially ranging within 8 digits (ranging from 20000000 to 89999999). We have activated customer master data synchronization and whenever a new customer is created a BP gets created automatically with the same number range (Customer to BP sync is activated with BP having same number range as in customer master but it is set as External numbering in BP numbering). We also had customer contact details created. Contact persons were also having BPs created internally (in background) for every contact person is created in AR. Contact person in AR doesn't need a number range but since BP needs a number, it was assigned to a series of number range starting from 00001 to 10,000 and they were set to internal number range. Customer contact persons were almost 8000 and all those internal numbers were used and created as business partners till 8000.
Since we are bringing new customers from new business we have customers whose numbers are under 10,000 as well. Since we wanted to keep the numbers same, I have to make adjustments to business partner number range and I have changed BP number range from 1 to ZZZZZZZZZ (and kept external) so that it can accept all number ranges from customers as is. However the new customers are still having issues as system cannot create new BP for new customer as numbers under 10,000 were already used in existing system.
Is there a way, I can delete all existing 10,000 business partners which were created as BP and re-use these numbers for new customers?
Can I overwrite all this data with new customer master data being created?
Can I delete the link between Customer & BP for existing ones?
If I can delete a link and overwrite new data, can they be linked to customer master which is needed?
Any suggestions or any ideas please?
Thanks
Aleem

Thanks for quick reply Mark.
We did not create new account group at customer master and we are creating customers in the same account group. However we had to adjust number range from ( 20000000 to 89999999) to (1 to 89999999). Due to this I had to adjust BP number range also from (20000000 to 89999999) to (1 to 89999999 or ZZZZZZZZ ). Customer creation was fine for new customers which were under 10,000 but business partner is conflicting with existing BPs which were created as contact person.
Since we are not using BP's for contact person in any place, they are of no use sitting as business partner and using the numbers. Hence I am trying to delete existing BPs which were under 10,000 to free up the numbers to re-use for new customers.
Any more suggestions please?

How to use alternate payee at the time of P.O

Hi SAP Experts,
Could you please tell me how to use alternate payee for vendors. At my clients place User wants to make alternate payee for some vendors. I have made Alternate payee as optional entry in vendor master data but i would like to know if i have to make any settings because the user wants to see the alternate payee for vendor when they create a purchase order. Anyone please let me know the detailed steps in defining the alternate payee.
Kind regards
Leoni

alternative payee option are available in two ways which are defined in master level at General data (for corporate decisions) or at company code data level (for individual company decisions)
1.You have option to fix one as default always - only one
2. Alternatively - you have option to select at Doc level - you will be able to define selective few within which u can select at document level.
As payment is linked to Finance level and nothing to do with PO, this will not be available at PO.
Hope it is clear.

Error when assigning business partners to positions in org. mgmt.

Hello,
I've got the following problem. I want to assign business partners to a position in organisation management. When doing this, the following error occurs:
"Object cannot be assigned to object xxx in the period xx.xx.xxxx - xx.xx.xxxx"
(xxx is the position to which the business partner should be assigned)
The number of this error message is 5A368.
Diagnosis in the detailed description of this message:
"The object period of object '1st Level Support' is not within the relationship period 26.03.2007 - 31.12.9999."
I've changed the object period of the position "1st Level Support" to several other dates, but it did not solve the problem.
The described problem does not occur, when assigning an user to this position.
Can anybody help me with this problem? I'm using SolMan 4.0.
Thank you in advance!

Thanks for your answer so far. Unfortunately it's not possible for me to upgrade to SP11. So I tried to solve the problem the way you described. I double-clicked the position on the left, the desired position is shown in the main screen and I try to assign the business partner to the position. But the same error appears.
Are there any other possible solutions?
What are the consequences of assigning users to a position instead of business partners?

Retrive Business Partners related to the filters of an Attribute set

Hi SAP Gurus,
I hv a requirement to get Business Partners related to the filters of an Attribute set.
I hv used a FM 'CRM_MKTTG_SAL_SEARCH_DB' to get the GUID of the attribute list.
If the GUID is passed to another FM 'CRM_MKTTG_SAL_READ' we can get the details of the attribute list i.e. GUIDs of Attributes and Filters within the list.
All we need to o now is to identify the BPs related to the filter criteria.
So, is there any standard report program or Function Module which can be used to achieve the above purpose?

Thanks for the reply.
this FM is taking the Marketing Attribute Set ID as input and returning the BPs in it.
I would like to know if I create an Attribute list in the T-code CRMD_MKTDS, create a filter criteria for this attribute list, then how come I can determine the BPs related to this filter criteria Can this me achieved by any FM or Standard Report program?

Error in transferring data from Catalog , in Managing business partners,SRM

When I post data of Suppliers from ROS , and then check the Manage business partners in mySAP SRM ( ITS) pages , it pops a message " Data cant be transeferred from Catalog".
Can anyone please explain ,,how to overcome this problem,,,
Is it a config problem or some problem in Codes ?
Its giving error for the Standard SAP ROS page also.
Gautam

Hi
Seems like some BASIS issue related to Roles/ Profiles / Authorization object missing for the log on user. Try giving SAP_ALL and SAP_NEW profiles to the user and see whether the same error happens or not.
Also ensure, number range configuation settings in SPRO are correctly maintained.
The Preselect Vendors transaction is delivered with the single roles. In order to use the transaction, you must enter the URL for supplier screening in the single role. Then you must update and activate the composite role.
Supplier Screening with ERP You have logged onto the supplier registration system with the role SAP_EC_SUS_ROS_ PROCESSOR.
Refer to these links for details.

DTW for exporting business partners and Items

Hi all,
Can any one tell me how to work on DTW for exporting business partners and Items. groups,subgroups and properties feilds are required, iam on pl5
thanks in advance
regards,
kumar

Hi Kumar
For details on the format for the DTW go to your SDK installation folder for SAP Business One. You will find a Help folder and select the file REFDI.CHM
This file will give you help on the DI API which are the rules applied to the DTW as well. Under contents click on the plus next to objects. This will list all the objects (templates in DTW) available. Select an object and look at the members. There is a detailed explanation next to each member that will tell you whether or not it is mandatory and what the SAP field name is in brackets. If you click on a member name it will display more details on that member and under Syntax if you select the member name that is underlined, it will give you a list of options if applicable for that field. For example when clicking on CardType you will see the options are cCustomer, cSupplier and cLid.
Hope this helps
Kind regards

Code undefined business partners error

Hello,
I am new to SAP and my company requires tu upload all business contacts to SAP Business One. I am trying to use Excel Export tool bu I get the error "code undefined business partners". What could be the reason and solution?
Thanks

Are you trying to use the tool in Data Migration-Import from excel? If so, you need to use the Material Transfer Workbench instead.
You need to link to the BP Partners header first in oBusinessPartners... Then import the BP Contacts. If this is the problem you are having send a reply and I will give you more detail.
If you are new at SAP you may want to get help to do your data migration. (Unless you are using and know how to query SQL tables) I only have experience doing this on SQL.

Authorization: Search help is showing all business partners

Hello,
Using FI-CA, the F4 searchhelp is showing all the business partners also the onces which have a special Authorization Groups assigned.
The search-result should only list the BPs without a special Authorization Group.
Is there any object I can use?
It works fine for Contract Account by using the oject F_KKVK_BEG but I'm afraid there is no one for BPs.
Do you have an idea?
Thanks,
Gellert
Edited by: Gellert Kovacs on Jun 2, 2009 12:37 PM

Hello Vanessa,
thank you very much for your answer. I think this can/will solve the problem. I have not tested yet because this will be a modification and I need approvals for that.
In the meanwhile I came across an other question, is there a way to limit the Search help for business partners? I do not want to allow user to search for bank details. Do you have any experience with limiting fields or whole tabs in the F4 search help especially for business partners?
Thank you very much + have a nice weekend,

Cannot retrieve business partners in SAP mobile iPad

Hello Colleagues,
since some days I'm not able to retrieve business partners in my SAP mobile App.
Neither in iPad nor in iPhone.
I tried it on 2 different test servers.
A couple of day's before I saw all the business partners.
The only change I did in the last days was executing the steps regarding the Java JRE that was recommended by SAP Note 1582526.
In the Message-Log I've found the following:
The SQL-Exception with the ErrorCode 242 points to a conversion error from the given Date-String to a DateTime Value.
The Date-String is automatically inserted by the (whatever) system, it is the current date.
Is there a possibility to change the DateTime Format so the query can pass thru and I can see the business-partners?
Thank you in advance
Rudy.

Problem solved
After setting the language of the sql server "sa" from german to english, everything works fine.
I don't know why this problem occurred. I never changed the language before...
Cheers
Rudy

Using HR data in R/3 to create business partners in Solution Manager

Is it OK for me to setup Solution Manager to automatically download HR data from R/3 to create the Business Partners (employee role) in Solution Manager?
We have setup SAP CRM 4.0 to automatically download the HR data and create Business Partners (employee role) in CRM. Since Solution Manager has the CRM component in it, I assume we can do it as well in Solution Manager.

Idoc DEBCOR - Extend use to Business Partners and customise

I am writing a high level technical design document on a new interface for my current client. We are currently in the scoping/blueprint phase.
We will be implementing CRM(?), ECC 6.0 and PI7.0
I have been tasked with writing/creating an outbound interface from CRM/ECC to send Business Partners from ECC to an external application via PI. Preferably using standard SAP functions/transactions!
Can I use the DEBCOR Idoc and customise/add the additional segments I require for the additional fields for this interface?
I was hoping to use BD12 (send Customers - Master Data Distribution) as well, but unfortunately, I do not have a sandpit/development system to use yet as we are still "blueprinting", therefore I am unable to test my assumptions before finalising the HTD document.
If DEBCOR cannot be used is there any logic in use the ADRMAS anc customising this?
I was hoping to use change pointers as well, but I guess once I have the Idoc configured, I can work out the distribution model in BD64..
Has anyone sent Business Partners from ECC and if so, what methods were used?

I am going to try and see if BusinessPartnerDataManagementBusinessPartnerEventOut.informBusinessPartnerAsBulk fits my requirements.

UI invisible after updating 5000 business partners

hi,
i'm updating about 5000 business partners in my addon.
I do this in a thread, so the user can do other things in sap.
If there is no user interaction the screen will be locked, but that doesn't matter because the addon will go on as i can see in the status bar.
After 1-2 hour the user cannot acess SAP anymore. The UI will not been refreshed. The only way is to kill the process.
Is there a way to handle this?
SAP 8.8 SP00 PL19
best regards
Markus

Hello Marcus,
When i had this kind of error, i done the following: spliited the records to be updated as 1000 per group, and executed a them in a cycle.
Also a good idea it the following:
for 1 to 5000
call updateBP (params)
next
Sub Updatebp (params)
oBp = moSBOCompany.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oBusinessPartners)
oBp.update
'release object
GC.Collect() 'Call the garbage collector for good measure
end sub
no more data required, and stable.
Regards
János
pS: use GetDICompany to connect via UI Addon if necessary in 2007 / 8.8

Relationship cannot be created between identical business partners

Hello,
I am implementing CRM 5.0 and trying to create business partner relationships to the identical business partner. For example, I am trying to makbe BP#1 have te relationship 'Has a Contact of' to BP#1. However, I am getting the error message:
'Relationship cannot be created between identical business partners'.
(Message no. R1776)
Has anyone ever encountered this error? Is there any way to create a relationship in SAP-CRM to the same business partner?
Thanks much for your help,
Dan

Hi Daniel
In short: No, it is not possible to have a relationship "between" a BP and itself.
In long: In R/3 there are partner roles like Sold to, ship to and others. When CRM was designed the people at SAP did want to simplify a bit and implemented the following logic for partner determination: If there is no relationship of a searched type, the BP itself is taken. As a result a relationship pointing to its source is not allowed as it would duplicate the information already existing.
Hope this helps,
Kai

Hi,
If you have created a Sales Quotation or for that matter any document for the Business Partner you are trying to delete, you cannot delete the Business Partner from the database.
As transaction and document is linked to the BP, then you cannot delete it.
