HI Nanaji,
we r using SRM 5.5 spk 11 & ECS
I replicated vendor from SRM and i,m not able to create the contact person by using tnx BBPMAININT(Employee for Business partner),it is throughing the error as "Invalid Date Format" when i am saving.
please let me know the procedure u followed to create contact person.
I read that contact person is required for a vendor to send the bid invitatation to him,is't correct.
Please let me know in detail about the fields in BBPMAININT(Employee for Business partner) like Userid pwd etc.
Thanks.,
Suma.

Contact Person for Vendor in SRM/CUA

Hello SRM Expert,
We are using Central user administration (CUA and like other system SRM is connected to CUA. I am getting the error 'Central system not accessible' while creating the employee (manage business partner) for business partner (Vendor). When we remove CUA then the error disappear.
Could you please let us know would be our approach for creating employee for vendors (for bidding, auction etc..).
Steps for Reconstruction
1. Login to SRM
2. Click on Manage business partner (BBPMAININT)
3. Look for Employee for Business Partner 'Create' option and create a employee for one of the vendors.
4. You will get the message Central 'System not accessible' .
I know one approach where I can create a SU01 in advance from CUA and then in manage business partner use this user but this is very long approach looking at the number of vendors we have. Is there a simpler way ?
Thanks,

Pradeep
Sorry yes it is not specifically about external users. You should review the note again, particularly scenario 2.
Essentially the note explains that, in a CUA environment, to create a user for an external contact person you need to create the following entry in table "BBP_CUST":
Key = "EBP_CUA_SCENARIO"; Value = "ACTIVE".
If you do not want to user table maintenance you can create the entry via the following IMG menu path:
Supplier Relationship Management > SRM Server > Technical Basic Settings >
Deactivate User Access to Solution Manager.
(Ignore the transaction title this transaction is essenatially maintenance of table "BBP_CUST").
Then you must ensure that the user specified on the RFC Definition for the CUA client has authorisations to create users IN THE CUA CLIENT, (it already has authorisations to create in the SRM client). This lack of authorisation is probably the reason for your error message.

Bapi or FM to create,change and delete Contact persons for vendors

Dear Experts,
We are replicating the Contact persons details from SUS(SRM) to ECC, When a Contact person is create,changed or deleted the data should be replicated in ECC. We are doing custom development to do this, I need to know is there any function module or Bapi which I can use to create , change or delete the contacts persons for a vendor.
I tried using BAPI_ADDRESSCONTPART_CHANGE, BAPI_ADDRESSORG_SAVEREPLICA for changing but its doesn't covers few fields like time zone etc. For deletion I tried WY_KNVK_SINGLE_DEL_FROM_BUFFER its too not helping me .
Please let me know is there any bapi or fm to do these process or we can go for BDC.
Thanks & regards,
Santhosh.R

Hi Santosh,
Can you please tell me what Business Scenario is asking you to consider the Time Zones .
If you know the Customer Number you can very well get the country and there are various FM's to get the time zone based on a country .
Now Call the FM (as wrote by you ) based on the TIme Zone condition,
Please enlighten me if i am incorrect.
Thanks

No POs found when entering with vendor role/contact person for vendor

Dear colleagues,
I wanted to post either a GR or an invoice as a vendor, that is, entering the system as the contact person of the vendor, with the vendor role, and searching for the POs created for me as vendor, then selecting one of them.
However, when searching for POs to post the documents with reference to POs, the report says there are no POs available, when in fact I have created several POs for that vendor in the systems.
What might I be missing? What are the conditions, rules, configuration steps needed so that the vendor can see the POs created for him and post subsequent documents with the role SAP_BBP_STAL_VENDOR and entering the system as a contact person for that vendor?
Will award points for helpful answers. Thanks in advance
David

Hi David,
This scenario which you require for receiving P.Os,sending P.O response, posting confirmation and invoice is called
SUS (Supplier self service) scenario.
You have to configure this scenario to avail all these services and the vendor should be SUS vendor. A mere vendor role will not allow the vendor to perform all these functions.
XI (Exchange infrastructure) is required in configuring the SUS scenario.
Hope this resolves your query.
Award points for helpful answers.

Company code data for custom replicated from CRM

Hi,
I am trying to default the company code data for a BP replicated from CRM as a customer but it is not working.
How should this be done in CRM 7.0, ECC 6.
I am have so far copied function module SAMPLE_INTERFACE_DE_BALE, added my own code and created the entry in table TBE34. But it doesn't work. Is this correct or is there another method?
regards
Tim

This is what we did wen we had a similar requirement...
u2022     In the ECC create a FM u2018Z_USER_EXIT_BEFORE_SEND_TO_MWu2019.
u2022     Register this function module for the CRM0_200 exit user in the ERP system.
a.     Use Transaction SM30, table TPS34, to go to the maintenance of the modules. Here, enter the Z_USER_EXIT_BEFORE_SEND_TO_MWu2019 module for the CRM0_200 process.
b.     Use Transaction SM30, table TBE24, to check whether the application you have selected (Product column in TPS34) is active.
u2022     The FM will be triggered whenever a Sold gets successfully replicated from CRM to ECC system.
a.     Check for the Object Class u2018BUPAu2019.
b.     Check for the Object Name u2018CUSTOMER_MAINu2019.
c.     If yes copy the BP GUID from the BAPIMTCS Structure.
d.     Now call rfc FM ZLSD_BP_EXTRACT_FRM_GUID in CRM to get the BP number and Acc Group for the respective GUID.
e.     Check if the ACC GRP is Z001.
f.     If yes make a BDC call to transaction FD01 and update the Company Code data u2026. Recon. Account     110000
                             Terms Of Payment ZN30
                           for the respective BP
Note: we have recorded a BDC program to create the company code data.

IPC error when displaying product config for order replicated from ISU

Hi all,
I am trying to set up ISU contract replication from ISU to CRM and I am having the problem sending product configuration. I am able to send all the nessesary settings for product config from ISU: when I look in resulting Bdoc in smw01 I see correct CUVAL values, CUCFG and CUINS. CRM order gets created without no problem. However, when I try to go to product configuration tab while displaying my order I see error message:
ISA Framework: Internal Error: java.lang.NullPointerException
I assume something might be wrong with the configuration values I am sending, however I have no idea how to get more details what caused this error. IPC apparently runs on separate server and I do not have direct access to it.
May be somebody can give me a hint where to look or what to do?
Any help is much appreciated,
Vitali

Hi Vitali,
Have you resolved this error? I have the same message (but under different circumstances) and am curious how to resolve it.
Thanks,

Workflow WS14000030 for vendor approval from OPI

Hi,
 The task TS14007942(approve creation of vendor) is included in the workflow WS14000030(Vendor One-Step Approval). Also included the agent assignment (Rule 00000157 for Manager).
It is given in help.sap.com as below ..
A vendor that has been transferred to the EBP System via OPI provisionally receives the status locked (all documents containing this vendor temporarily lose their validity). The system now checks the authorization of the purchaser / requester relating to transaction BBPMAININT:
· If the purchaser / requester possesses the change authorization, the 0-step approval workflow WS14000043 starts and the vendor is released immediately.
Depending on the Customizing settings, a workflow notification follows.
· If the purchaser / requester does not possess the change authorization, the 1-step approval workflow WS14000030 starts and the manager of the purchasers purchasing organization receives a work item with a request to approve or reject it.
When I checked the same,
 The Transaction 'BBPMAININT' is under the package 'BBP_BUPA'. There is only one authorization object under this package by name 'BBP_BUYER'.
 The documentation says "The object consists only of the field Activity.The activity has only one variant, 70 for 'Administration'; in other words: an 'All or nothing' as far as the data of the purchasing company is concerned".
can anyone help me in running the workflow??? How can I restrict the authorization for the transaction BBPMAININT.
Thanx,
Sivagami.R

Hi
Please try this ->
You have to assign authorization for changing shopping carts during the approval process. This is controlled by means of a role-based attribute BBP_WFL_SECURITY, and is set in the transaction PFCG on the Personalization tab page. There are four possible levels of authorization:
1) High: Workflow is never restarted.
2) Medium: Workflow is restarted based on start conditions.
3) Low: Workflow is always started.
4) No: No changes to the shopping cart allowed during approval.
Please refer to these links.

IDoc from R3 to CRM in status 52. Employee does not have central person

Hi All,
I have a requirement wherein I have to replicate R3 HR Org Structure O-S-P in to CRM system. IDocs for Org Unit and Position are getting posted successfully and I can see that structure in CRM system as well. But when I am trying to assing person to that position, the IDoc is not posted successfully. It is is status 52. Below are the errors:
1) Employee 0000XXXX does not have a central person
2) Relationship 00X (from 01S XXXXXXX to employee 0000XXXX ) will be ignored
If someone has already gone through this kind of issue, Please suggest me on how to go about.
Thanks & Regards,
Nitish.

Hi,
Check the infotype 709 (PERSON ID) of that employee. He/she must be assinged to global ID number which is trully unique within your SAP system (not the PERNR number). If you can't find such number this is probably the case.

Automatic replication of vendor masters from SAP R/3 to EBP

Hi
For this issue I found the below program and steps to do the automatic replication of vendor master from SAP R/3 to EBP
PROGRAM BBP_VENDOR_SYNC
The program BBP_VENDOR_SYNC automatically synchronizes the backend vendors with the SRM system.
To run the program BBP_VENDOR_SYNC, you first have to make the following settings:
Path in the Implementation Guide (IMG):
Supplier Relationship Management --> SRM Server -->Technical Basic Settings -->Settings for Vendor Synchronization --> Make Global Settings
Supplier Relationship Management --> SRM Server -->Technical Basic Settings -->Settings for Vendor Synchronization --> Define Settings for Each Backend System
Then you have to make the following settings in transaction SA38:
· Enter program BBP_VENDOR_SYNC.
· Click on the pushbutton Background.
· Enter the report name BBP_VENDOR_SYNC.
· Either define a new variant or use an existing variant ( The new Variant as Test Vendor)
· Click on the pushbutton Schedule.
· Enter the job.
· Define the start date.
· Either schedule once or schedule periodically. Then you have to define the period interval.
I followed the above mention steps and I am able to setup the Schedule on timely basis and the job was completed successfully, but the vendors are not replicated successfully .
I am receiving the below error in transaction code SLG1.
1.The Specified Node does not Exist in the Org. Plan(Message no. BBP_VENR006).
2.No Vendor Replicated from Backend MD1CLNT(Message no. BBP_VENR017).
Please check and advice.
Thanks & Regards
Sada

Hi Sadasivam,
Make Global Settings
Use
In Customizing for vendor synchronization, you define between which mySAP or ERP backend systems and the EBP System you wish to automatically synchronize the vendor master data. This setting is necessary in order to start a job-based execution of the synchronization, so that the vendor master data that is newly created or changed in the backend is updated regularly in the EBP System.
Requirements
You wish to use the automatic vendor synchronization functionality.
In the Implementation Guide (IMG) activity Define RFC Destinations, you have defined the RFC destinations for your systems.
Under Define Backend Systems, you have defined the backend systems for your systems.
Activities
Customizing for Vendor Synchronization consists of two parts. In the first part you make those settings that are valid for all backend systems. In the activity Make Settings for Each Backend System you can define or display detail data for the individual backend systems.
Make Global Settings
By setting the indicator Create New Vendors Also, you can determine that those vendors newly created in the backend systems are also newly created during the synchronization. If this indicator is not set, the only data updated is that of the vendors in the Enterprise Buyer System whose data was changed in the backend systems.
Note:
If you have not yet made an entry here, an empty screen appears when you start the activity. To make the settings, choose New entries or press F5.
Further Settings:
Carry Out Address Check for Duplicates :
Organizational Unit in EBP for the Vendor
Enter the eight-digit number, for example, 50001234.
Vendor Number Assignment Type
In the dropdown box, choose the method with which the number is to be allocated when a new vendor is created, for example, internal number allocation.
Hope this makes you more clear. My mail i.d is [email protected]

Central Person already exists

Hi Experts,
I am Using ECS,SRM4.0.
I have one problem when I am assigning one user thru <Users_Gen>
from already SU01 list and all
at the end I am getting one error msg like
Central Person for this user already exists with E BBPU_MESSAGES 042 & because of this error I can not map this user again in the SRM Org Structure.
I think this user was earlier in the system and then asssignment was deleted for this user. now again user creation time it is showing this error.
Pls let me know the how to solve this issue.
Brgds/Gopesh

Hi
Inorder to create contact person for (business partner), either delete the existing contact person
Use the transaction - BBPMAININT in SRM system.
EBP users are an integral part of the organizational plan and they belong to a certain organization and have to have a position, a business partner ID, a central person and a SU01 - User ID in the SRM System.
Also, refer to the transaction - CRM_OM_BP_INTEGRATE transaction to check the consistency of the Business partner and the contact person.
Hope this will help.
Please rewards suitable points.

In what case, we need to use PI for vendor replication in MM-SUS?

Dear Experts,
In what scenarios, we need to use or configure the PI settings for vendor replication between MM and SUS? The SAP configuration guide for SRM 7.01 mentions about the PI settings for vendor replication from ECC to SUS.
However, we are able to replicate the vendor from ECC to SUS using the program BBPGETVD in SUS client?
In what circumstances, we need to configure the PI settings for vendor replication when we are able to do so in a much simpler way?
Thanks in advance,
Ranjan
Ranjan Sutradhar

Hi Ranjan,
In all circumstances you need to replicate vendors from MM to SUS via PI. BBPGETVD is not the right way to replicate vendors to SUS because the information like vendor class, assignment of this vendor class to an object and the vendor classification cannot be transferred via BBPGETVD.
Hence you will have to use PI. You can try sending a PO from MM to SUS and the PO will fail in SUS with a message like 'Vendor not present in SUS' if you use BBPGETVD.

Nikhil
