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?

what should i do if i want bring the Business partners in collection management.
Kindly advice me

Hi,
Its is very simple to convert Customer master in Business partner for collection management. Map Customer grouping along with BP grouping with external number range. There are some other setting in Synchronization
under cross applications.
Once u have done that execute transaction code: MDS_LOAD_COCKPIT.

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

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.

We did it, i don't see the problem...

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.

Users changes the address of Business Partners

Hi Everyone,
We are using SAP Business One 2007A. We have different locations set up for "ship to address" in business partners master data and all the ship to address have been saved as unique locations so that when a sales order or a work order is created, the location address is automatically populated on choosing the location of ship to address from the drop down menu
What many users are doing: When creating work orders, they input the business partner code, choose the location and then change the ship to address to whatever they want. This creates problems when converting the work orders to delivery. I want to restrict the capability of changing the ship to address while creating work orders and sales orders. How do I do it? Do I have to do it in business partner master data or in work orders or is it some kind of user authorization that I am missing.
Please let me know.
Thank you.

Hi,
I checked the links sent by you. It says Open SQL> Click on + of data base> Programability> Stored Procedures> SP Transaction notification and paste the code where you see" ADD YOUR CODE HERE" and click o execute or press F5.
In Business One 2007A, I do not see anything like SQL, +of database, programmability etc. I only see the following in Business one. Tools-->Queries and I see a lot of options for Queries named Query Manager, Query Generator, Query Wizard, Query Print Layout, User Queries, System Queries etc. Which one do I use?
Also, where do I get the SP code to execute?

Can FI-CAx be used for making outgoing payments to business partners

Hi All,
Can we use the installment plan in FI-CA for the outgoing payments to business partners. Our company has lot of lease contracts and these contracts have payments due to be paid on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, and annual basis. All these lease contracts are managed in SAP Real estate Flexible objects. We want to use FI-CAx for making payments to these contracts and hence we are looking for integration between FI-CA and RE-flexible objects.
From what I heard FI-CA is a receivables module and is not best suited for payables, so please let me know if we can use the outgoing payment plan and installment plan in FI-CA for making payments to business partners.
This is a bottleneck in our implementation. So please help me asap.
Thanks in advance. Points will be awarded to all the useful solutions.
Santosh

Hi Santhosh,
FYI my answers below
Can we use the instalment plan in FI-CA for the outgoing payments to business partners.
u2022I would say Yeah. ofcourse there is a way to do it provided you have created existing OI in Real estate in FI-CAX. This is because, weu2019d Refund money to the customer. In the same token I do not see any problem in paying monies to them!!!!
u2022You need to create your RE-FX contracts unto FICA as Contract Accounts <1:1 ratio>.
Our company has lot of lease contracts and these contracts have payments due to be paid on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, and annual basis. All these lease contracts are managed in SAP Real estate Flexible objects. We want to use FI-CAx for making payments to these contracts and hence we are looking for integration between FI-CA and RE-flexible objects.
u2022Assuming that you have your RE-Fx data unto FICA, next step is to configure Instalment plans < monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, and annual >.
u2022Next you create Instalment plans for the contract accounts <FICA> as required.
u2022Now, if you want to pay the amount, you need to attach outgoing payment method in Contract Account, Configure your Payment program.
u2022Now run your Payment Run <FPY1 =4.72; FPYS = ECC>.
u2022All the OI would be cleared. If you want to send the file to the bank, you can do so or you can also issue cheques.
From what I heard FI-CA is a receivables module and is not best suited for payables, so please let me know if we can use the outgoing payment plan and instalment plan in FI-CA for making payments to business partners.
u2022Look above.
OI = Open Item
Other points you need to consider:
1. Are the amounts in RE-FX consistent <equal through out the installment plans>?
2. Do you want to create separate Installment plans in FICA?
3. If yes, above should be helpful.
4. If not, identify an Interface between RE-FX and FICA.
5. What are your plans to close the Contracts in RE-FX once all the Installment plans are being paid in FICA?
6. Do you want to establish an Interface between RE-FX and FICA so that data would be transferred bt them automatically?
7.Is point no 6 one way or 2 ways <i.e RE-FX to FICA and vice versa>
8. What is the volume and frequency?
9.Other points if any
Does this helps?

How to delete Business partners in use

Hi All,
I have accidently removed some business partners from table BUT000. After I realized it I tried creating them again but I got the error that Personal Address does not exist. After some help from experts I realized that this is because entries for those business partners were still there in some tables like BUT020. Now i tried deleting these business partners entirely using BUPA_TEST_DELETE. But i got an error saying that these BP's are in use in some transactions and hence cannot be deleted.
Please advice how can I achieve this.
Thanks in Advance,
Saket

Hi Saket,
Check the Tcode - BUPA_DEL.

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?
