Contact Person field controls

Hi All
I created the Contact person for a Customer using the TCODE VAP1. My requirement is to change the optional field to required in the contact person creation screen. Is there a config path where I can control which fields to be suppressed and which to be optional/required.
I looked under Logistics General>Business Partner>Customers>control> define transaction dependent screen layout but couldnt find the option to make any change. Can anyone suggest something.
Thanks

Hi,
For R/3 system, we need the help of an ABAP person to supress / display /change the field layout in the SAP screen.
However for CRM system, there are controls for the action that you want to perform.

Automatic Partner Determination Std Contact Person during Activity Creation

Hi ,
There is a requirement in my project where the Standard Contact Person of the Sold to Party should be automatically determined during Activity Creation .I have completed the Partner Function configurations and now the Standard Contact Person is being successfully determined as the Partner.
However, there is a problem in a scenario where in another Contact Person other than the Standard Contact Person is to be determined during Activity Creation . In that case, the option to select the other Person is not being offered through a pop up window, but the System automatically populates the next Contact Person based on the BP Id ( Next on the Number Range )
Is there any way , so that the normal procedure of selecting one Contact Person from a list in the Pop Window can be incorporated , once the standard Contact Person is being removed from the Contact Person field in the Business Transaction .

Hello Maroof,
you should check first the standard relationship flag of the account. Means check the account and go to the
relationship contact person.
There you will find the standard Relationship Flag, which is relevant for the system to determine the main CP.
Furthermore please check the partner procedure:
For each partner function you can enter a value in field Maximum and Selection Limit. Please consider the F1 help
for the field Selection Limit where you can find the explanation when and how the selection popup is triggered:
Example 1
You enter 3 in this field.
When the system finds three or more partners who could fulfill this partner function, it displays a selection list.
You choose from the list which partners to enter in the transaction.
Example 2
You do not mark this field, but enter 5 as the Maximum for this partner function.
When the system finds six or more appropriate partners it displays a selection list.
Hopefully this information helps you.

FM to fill activity partner and Contact person inside a BADI

Hi,
When i create an activity i need to check for a condition and process the activity accordingly. The condition is that when an contact person is entered mistakenly on the activity partner field then i need to move to the contact person field and also find out the corresponding activity partner and fill it.
For example, if i enter 123( assuming this to be a contact person) on the activity partner field, then i need to find what is the corresponding activity partner for this contact person(Assuming ABC to be the activity partner). I need to fill ABC on the acitivity partner field and 123 on the contact person field. I tried using ORDER_SAVE Badi for the same. The badi gets called and i am able to read the curent value from ORDER_READ FM. I just don't get as to how to fill the activity partner and contact person inside this BADI. I am not able to find any FM for the same. Can i request some help pls?
Thanks,
Venkat

Hi,
maintain the partner change on document manually and debug this FM to see what should be the inputs.
Maybe you are missing sth.
Other way, better, would be using crmv_event tcode. there you can register your FM that will change partner on document.
you can assign this FM for eg. to event AFTER_CHANGE and object PARTNER, and transaction category like Service Process.
you can read /people/radoslaw.stefaniak/blog/2009/12/16/crmvevent--what-is-it for more information.

Add new contact person in contact management

but after i added new contact person.i still can't select new contact person in "General tab(Contact management)".
can u tell me how to solve this problem?
Thanks,
Siandari Lim

Dear William,
There are some notes for enabling the b2b flag. E.g. 1263919 and 1263915 and likely some more. So, that might help you figure out if perhaps you have missing settings for this feature.
But based on the limited information you provided it seems that "Segmentation based on relationships" would be suitable. You can check [SAP help|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm700_ehp01/helpdata/en/37/fc60e3bebf4a9ba7121c00e295b3fd/frameset.htm ] for this topic. I was not sure what you meant by "but how to replace the contact person function?"
Quick excerpt:
Segmentation based on relationships offers you maximum flexibility when modeling target groups, especially in business-to-business scenarios. You can select business partners using filters for both personal data as well as data relating to the business partner's organization. The system saves all required information on the business partner, such as contact person, organization, and relationship type, with the target group. In the campaign, the contact person is contacted using the address data of the contact person's organization.
Hope this helps!

Contact Person LinkedObject

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to set a LinkTo item to the Contact Person field in my UDO.
From a thread i found in that subject, it says that the BoLinkedObject is 53, but when i set that in the LinkedObject i get an error of an invalid target.
is it a diffrent one then 53?
Thanks!

Sorry for that!
but still i couldn't find out the answer.
I've tried to set both "33" or "53" in the LinkedObject, but non of them gives me the link to the contact persons in the business partner card.
You mentioned that a contact person is a property of: oBusinessPartners: ContactPerson.
How can i set it in the LinkedButton item?
Thanks alot!

Address formats and contact persons

Hi
With a number of our customers (not the majority) we have the requirement to have the following address format:
Company Name
c/- Contact Person
Address Line
Suburb
City and Zip Code
Of course we don't want to actually use the contact person field as we don't always want to have contact person in the address for all customers.
I would have thought this was quite a standard requirement for most businesses but cannot see a STANDARD solution for it in SBO.
Also is there an easy way to hide address fields when they are null as per the unanswered question: /thread/61000 [original link is broken]
Kind regards
Andrew

Thanks Jose
I was already aware of this functionality. However, I find this fairly limiting. I have two questions:
1) Can you get blank lines in the standard address format to be skipped?
For instance if you have a standard address format of:
STREET
BLOCK
CITY
PROVINCE
And it is a small town in a province which means you either leave the Block or the City blank then a blank row is shown when the address is printed on the invoice.
Is there a simply way where if a row is blank then it can be ignored in the address layout? I notice that there is a line length row but don't know if there is a special code you can enter in there to say skip if blank or something like that - so that it moves onto the next field with data.
I recognise that you can't strip and rebuild the address fields in the Print Layout Designer but was wanting to know if there was something standard.
2) I am not sure how SBO handles mail that is sent c/- a person in a company in terms of standard functionality.
Cheers
Andrew

Field "Contact person" in XK01, MK01, FK01.

Hi,
in SPRO "Define Account Groups with Screen Layout (Vendors)" and "Define Screen Layout per Activity (Vendors)" is possible setting the field "Contact person" in "General data" so that the entry
could be:
-Suppress;
-Req. Entry;
-Opt. entry;
-Display.
The field "Contact person" is being configured so that this is a "Required entry" , but nothing doesn't appear in Vendor master.
How activating this field?
Best regards

Dear sap,
Please try this, go to MK02, enter a vendor with acc.group that you set, is there "contact person" selection under General data tab? if yes , try to change the data for contact person and when you clear the value,then the required mark will show up.Then when you create a vendor using MK01 with ref to the acc.group , then system supposed to prompt the contact person tab to be filled.

"TO" field in outgoing mail and choosing contact persons

Hi,
We are implementing the IC in the CRM version 6.
When the agent is preparing the outgoing mail the only mail that arrives to the "TO" field is the mail from the customer.
Now if the agent wants to add some more contact persons to the "TO" field the system is showing all the contacts there is.
Why the system is not showing only the mails that are relevant to the identified customer.
The agent (customer) wants to be able to send a mail to all the contact
persons in relation with the identified customer in an easy way.
Does any one know how to deal with this issue ?
Thanks in advance,
Eran Shapira.

Relationship Type field in Contact Person Relationship Web Ui

Hi
In SAP CRM we can differentiate a relationship using relationship type. This field is available in SAP GUI, in "Contact Person Relationship" category, whereas it is not present in Web UI screen for contact. In our project there is requirement to make it visible in UI also. Please help me in this regards.
Thanks & Regards
Hitsm

Hi Hitesh,
Since Contact Person is a very common relationship, it has been removed from the relationship type and has moved into an assignment block. Invariably whosoever is a contact person will come under that assignment block.
