Business partners migration

Hi,
I'm currently setting up Incident Management for a charity in South East Asia. There are about 2000 key users to be created, so I'm going for LSMW.
I want to use IDoc type BUPAFS_FS_CREATE_FRM_DATA2. So in structure relations, I can see all the data for addresses, phone numbers etc. But what is missing is all the stuff from the identification tab (like user name, satellite systems, personnel number)... Is it possible to use this data with the mentioned IDoc type (if so - how?) or would you rather suggest using a different IDoc type, or a BAPI (if so - which one?)
Thanks for your help!
Regards,
Jan

What a fantastic and indeed little known transaction code. Your response has just been a little bit too late, as I've just completed the LSMW project with two objects: BUPA_C_IDENTADD for the identification tab. Thanks anyway!
Regards,
Jan

How to migrate Business Partners?

Hi All,
How to migrate Business Partners from one Solution Manager to another?
Both Solution Managers are 7.0 SPS 17.
We have already move users and roles.
It looks like that we loose messages from projects when we try to migrate them with SOLAR_MIGRATION because of the missing Business Partners.
Thanks & Best Regards,
Leif Pedersen

Hello Leif,
I have the same problem. Did you figure it out?
thanks,
Ingrid

Migrating business partners with more than one sales organisation

Hi experts,
In a short periode we will implement CRM 5.0 in our organisation (don't ask why not a newer version...) with a R/3 backend system.
At the moment we have our business partners stored in various systems, but the most in our old R/3 version 3 system.
In the new system we want to use more than one sales organisation, like we do it at our R/3 system at the moment. In CRM is should it be possible, but the question is how to migrate? If we use LSMW migration we can only migrate one sales organisation and one service organisation for the business partners.
Do you know a methode to migrate the business partners to CRM 5.0 and migrating more than one sales organisation with these business partners, is there a possibility to use excel (csv) and a z-transaction which uses the standard SAP function modules?
Please let me know!
Thanks in advance

It can't be that different? Is there anybody who knows something about this?

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?

External Data Transfer - Business Partners?

Hi,
I am migrating business partners from a legacy brown system to a Green SAP system using KCLJ and keep running into the error below:
" Fields of record: PARTNER = . "
I am unable to troubleshoot this and need some help. My numbering is internal and I have all the required fields in the text file. I`m not sure what other information to put here, if anybody has any ideas, i`m happy to share more.
Thanks,
Rohit.

Hi,
I am not sure if this is the correct forum to answer your query.
But anyways, have you separated the data/fields by comma(,) or semicolon(;)
Select the option in KCLJ appropriately.

Business partner Migration Strategy

Dear All,
We have one project on CRM migration of Business partners along with marketing attributes from 4.0 to 7.0
There are two approaches u2013
1.     Either the data is transferred from CRM 4.0 to CRM 7.0
2.     Data is transferred from ECC6.0 to CRM 7.0
Which would be a better approach and why ?
Cheers,
Disha

Disha,
Since you have a requirement to transfer marketing attributes. Generally marketing attributes are maintained in CRM, so its easy to transfer from CRM to CRM. CRM4.0 and CRM7.0 data structures are almost same.
You need to go with data transfer from CRM 4.0 to CRM 7.0 using XIF concept.
    Which requires very less configuration and easy maintenance. It transfers data through IDOC.
    To achieve this create site, subscriptions in SMOEAC tcode.
     Activate delta through CRMXIF_C1 tcode.

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.

What is the best solution to create the business partners in CRM?

Hi all,
I need to migrate the business partners (general data, address, marketing attributes ) in CRM from an excel file
What is the best solution to create the business partners with these informations?
I tried LSMW but to enter the SALES and MARKETING atributes in BP i have to "click" on the attribute and not realized by the record.
Thanks in advance
best regard
miguel

Hi Miguel,
   Always preferred to use XIF Function Modules to create Business Partners and Relationships.
   CRMXIF_PARTNER_SAVE
   CRMXIF_PARTNER_REL_SAVE
   Using this function modules you can populate all most all fields in BP including Z fields(If it created through EEWB), except Marketing Attributes.
   For marketing attributes try to use FM CRM_MKTBP_CREATE_LIST_BPS_OB.
   Have a look at the notes 609236, 1081545 and 1239018. This will give you some idea, how to upload and update marketing attributes.

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

How to delete Business partners in Business partner master data

Dear sir,
I had remove some business partners in Business Partner maserdata. but i will remove some business partners one error will come into picture that error is " You cannot remove business partner; linked Sales Quotations exist [Message 3502-79] "
How to remove that bp in bp master data. plllz tell me how to solve these problem step by step process in sap business one 2007 B

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.
