Business Partners as Employees

Two questions regarding BP as an employee. 
One of the fields I'd like to set up for a BP Employee is called "Cost Center".  Basically for us a cost center is a 9 digit number that basically points to a group / department.
For instance:
313000000 = Engineering
312100000 = Purchasing
etc etc...
I see a "available field" in the CRM Web ui called cost center, when I add it to the CRM WEB page under the employees configuration.  It becomes an input field that allow me to click the little square button to show the results.  However, there is no results for cost center.  So I went into the ERP system and did a SPRO and did a search for Cost Center.  All it came up with is defining cost centers for org units.  Is there any way to define a cost center outside of an org unit.
Next question , i was thinking to just user define this field in the UI.  When I defined it in the Web UI it created a field however how will I ever see this custom field in the ERP system?  The reason I ask is eventually I have to load data into this field using LSMW (legacy system data).  So the issue is I can create the custom field in the web interface but how can I see this field in the ECC / ERP system so that i can eventually load data into it.
Thanks

Hi Mathavan,
Thanks for the reply.  I tried the program HR_SYNC_PERSON.  On the selection screen I entered the employee code of the employee for which I want to create the BP.
A report got displayed that showed me P and CP of this employee, there are two rows one for P and another for CP.  Now when I select one of the rows and click on the Start Repair button shown above, the system gives me the following :
Business partner 0000200981 not created
Address type XXDEFAULT does not exist: Address usage XXDEFAULT  cannot be created
Enter the business partner number or business partner GUID
Enter at least one number for the business partner
Enter at least one number for the business partner
I do not know what I am missing.
Where as when I use the other program that you say is for external data, it spoils the P and CP relationship.
Please let me know if anything else needs to be done.  In T77S0, I have set HRALX HRAC switch as X and HRALX PBPHR as ON.  If I do not set them as this, the HR_SYNC_PERSON does not works.
Regards,

  • Business Partners and Qualifications

    My customer is intending to use Business Partners (BUP003 - Employee) to represent resources in the MRS (Multi Resource Scheduling) application.  My challenge is that I am unable to assign a qualification to a Business Partner (BUP003) using transaction PPPM.  I get a message saying "Unable to display a profile for object 'BP'."  What is strange about this is that I can assign a qualification to a Business Partner in my company system but not the customer.  So far I have been unable to figure out what the difference is between the two systems that might be impacting on this.
    The other strange thing I have come across is that in one of the customer systems I can search and display a list of Business Partners but in another, when I search, I get a message telling me that "the search has not produced any hits".  In the system "with no hits" I can see the BP record and I can assign it to a Position so I know it's there, I just can't display in in the list.  Weird...
    I'm a PM/MM person with little Business Partner experience so any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Mark

    Hi Mark,
    In table T778V, for relationship 032, click on Allowed Relationships on the left hand panel under Links. You will have to uncheck the values in column Not maint. against BP with Q and Q with BP. This will then allow you to maintain qualifications for relationship 032 using transaction PP01/PP02, not PPPM.

  • Access to business partners denied.User "so and so" is not a sales employee

    Hi all,
    I was trying to create a snapshot in outlook in a users computer but unfortunately the system displays a strange message:
    Access to business partners denied.User "so and so" is not a sales employee
    The user is a member of Sales Employees/Buyers-well what i mean is that the sales name is there but not user name ie Frank Blank is there but not FrankB for example.
    Any ideas ?
    Thank you,

    Hi Matthew,
    Interesting message as we use the O/I ad-on... on the EMD record, go to the Membership tab and add 'Sales Employee' under "Role" to the EMD record. Shot in the dark but that's all I got.

  • How do I stop business partners from getting a default sales employee/buyer?

    I'm currently using SAP B1 version 8.82.
    Every time a salesperson creates a lead or customer, it is automatically filling in the "Sales Employee" field in the "General" tab with that person's name.  This is causing a problem because whenever someone else creates a sales order for that customer, it pulls the name of the person who created the customer rather than the person creating the sales order.  Is there a way to make all Business Partners default to "No Sales Employee" in the Business Partner Master data?
    Thank you,

    Here's an example of one of the customer cards.  Alessandra created this one, but she didn't select her name in the drop down box.  It filled it in automatically.  I don't want that to happen though because when Beth does a Sales Order for this person it automatically puts Alessandra's name on the Sales Order.  I recently changed this customer to have no sales employee assigned to it.  Now if Alessandra does an order for this client it fills in Alessandra, and if Beth does one it fills in Beth on the SO.  That's what I want to happen but I don't want to go back and individually change every customer.  I don't really want to do a DTW update either because that only solves the problem for customers already in the system and not new ones. I want that field "Sales Employee" to default to "No Sales Employee"

  • 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.

  • Automatic creation of business partners in Solution Manager system in Charm

    When I automatically create business partners in the Solution Manager system from the users in the satellite systems, they are created of type "Business Partner (Gen)" and they are not associated to the user with the same name id in the Solution Manager system, but they are connected to the remote users in the satellite systems. For this reason I change manually every business partner making it of type "employee" and connecting it to the user in the Solution Manager system. In this way I can use it like partner function. Is this the correct procedure to follow? If not, what do I have to do? Which is the correct way to generate business partners in the Solution Manager system from the users in the satellite systems?
    Thanks
    Antonello

    Hi,
    It is advisable to have the same login name for the satellite systems and SOLMAN user.
    Business partner can be created thru tcode DSWP -> Select Solution -> Edit -> Create business partner.
    You need to create a business partner only once by the above method, even if you have a number of satellite systems.
    Once the BP is created , go to tcode BP -> select the business partner -- > In the Identification Tab, enter the systems which will be accessed by the user. Here you can also give the SLM system ID in addition to the other satellite systems.
    The employee connection process which you do is correct

  • How to create Business Partners (in Person category) from Customer Accounts

    Hi all
    In ECC 6.0, I am creating Business Partners (Master Tenant w Customer Account) from 'employee' Customer Accounts and the system is defaulting to the 'Organization' category.
    Does anyone know how to configure it so that Business Partners are created in the 'Persons' category when FLBPD1 is executed?
    Thanks in advance.
    Dion
    Edited by: Dion Ng on Jan 20, 2009 8:05 AM

    Hi Dion,
    Now I understand your issue.
    The system uses BadI CVI_MAP_BP_CATEGORY to determine with which category the bp will be created.
    This Badi check with which Title (TITLE_MEDI) the customer is created and according to the definitions made in table TSAD3 - Forms of Address (Key) (Business Address Services) (SPRO / Flexible Real Estate Management (RE-FX) / Business Partner  / General Settings for Business Partner / Business Partner  / Basic Settings / Forms of Address / Maintain Forms of Address ) the system creates the bp with the specific category. This is standard!
    If this is not enough for you please let us know.

  • SAP MRS - Business Partners Error

    Working with MRS 700 (0005) in an ECC EhP5 system.
    Our client wants to explore the use of Business Partners, so as to avoid the conifguration and support of Infotype 0007 on the HR mini-master (among other reasons).
    I made what I think are the appropriate MRS configuration changes - and I am able to see the resource planning node and associated business parterns within the planning board.  I can also make an assignment of a demand to an individual business partner.  However, when I try to save the planning board, I get the following error message: "Business partner ## does not exist" where ## is actually the personnel number.  On the BP record, I did specify the personnel number.
    Any ideas as to why I would be getting this error message?
    To summarize master data set-up:
    - HR mini-master created wtih infotypes 0000 (Organizational Assignment), 0001 (Personal Data), 0105 (Communication) and 0185 (Personal IDs)
    - Business partner created with Employee role - and Personnel number added to the Identification tab
    - Created new org unit and position in HR organization structure - and added business partner to the position
    - Create new work center - and linked to HR org unit
    Thank you in advance for any advice.

    You could try installing it in the local package ($tmp) itself.

    Hi Vivek,
    It may be not the best forum to post this issue, even the cProject is involved.
    After my brief investigation, the notes 454042 & 934412.should give you some helps at this issue.
    If the problem remains, please  the component BC-SRV-GEO (geographic function) is the right one,  I donot know, which forum it belongs to.

  • Unable to transfer Business Partners from CRM to Handheld

    Hi Guys,
    I am setting up a mobile environment using ME2.1. The setup  has successfully happened and now i am facing a problem on transferring master data from CRM to Handheld. I have done the following:-
    1) Assigned the User of Mobile a business partner in Employee role
    2) Assigned a position to the business partner at the Sales org level
    3) Have done the basic settings for handheld, i.e. created a PPR applicable to accounts, Users and Products (All required business partners and products have been assigned to this PPR)
    4) Added all the required business partners as my favourties
    5) Created a Business partner as an organisation in maximum possible roles and used the business partner in the reference account while doing the basic settings for handheld.
    6) Done relevant transaction type setting for transferring the transactional data
    After all the above, now i can see transactional data on the handheld as well as products. However in the business partners tab, i can only see the employee attached to my user-id and nothing else.
    Am i missing something out in the customizing? Please help me.

  • Role 'Is Replace By' should have both business Partners of same category?

    Hello All,
    Is it possible to configure that for relationship 'Is Replace By', both business Partners should be of same Category or Role? E.g.: If Business Partner 1 is an Employee, then it can only have such a relationship with another Employee and not with business partner in a different role?
    Can this be achieved in ERP or CRM?

  • 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...

  • 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

  • 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
