Control functions available in Manage Business Partner

Dear Friends,
We all know that in Manage Business partner option one can perform multiple activities like
1. Create Business Partner
2. Edit Business Partner
3. Create Employee for Business Partner and so on...
Now is there any way or authorization object by which we can control these activities?
What I mean is, User A should only be able to use "create Employee for business Partner" option from Manage Business Partner screen and not other options. Is it possible?
Can we control this via authorization object?
There has to be some standard solution.
Regards,
Sandeep

Atul,
Thanks for your inputs.
Basically this is definitely required by the business to have a good control over the various activities involved in Manage Business Partner transaction.
Business scenario that we are mapping is creating a Business Partner in SRM from accepted ROS suppliers.
Once the prospective supplier has been accepted in screen supplier, user needs to transfer the accepted supplier from ROS to SRM client via Manage Business Partner and create a Business Partner in SRM client.
We would not like to give entire business Manage Business Partner transaction access to the person who only creates the SRM BP from ROS supplier. The Authorization needs to be control further apart from just transaction BBPMAININT.
We did check the try to control authorization via object B_BUPA_RLT for "Business Partner: BP Roles" and S_TCODE - "Transaction Code Check at Transaction Start", but it seems not working as desired.
I guess there has to be some standard solution other than Template Change with Z Authorization object control.
Has anyone come across this requirement before?
Regards,
Sandeep

Multiple Output Medium for vendors in Manage Business Partner

Hi,
I'm trying to put more than one output medium in Manage Business Partner for a Vendor, Transaction BBPMAININT.

2. How do i achieve it.

You can maintain Alternate Vendor Contact for the Vendors in the transaction BP; The Purchaser here after can choose which one to use during a particular time of the ordering the purchase order. This will be possible for the purchaser at the time of creating the purchase order in the Basic Data Tab - Alternate Vendor Contacts.
For every vendor contact you will need to have a default medium for output; which will be used to send the PO to the vendor.
Please reward points if found useful.

What's the equivalent for "Manage Business Partner" or BBPMAININT in SRM 7

Hello,
Where can I launch the "manage business partner" process in SRM 7.0 system, which is equivalent to "Manage Business Partner" menu or BBPMAININT transaction in lower SRM release (<7.0)?
Thanks.

Hi,
It is "Business Partner" for strategic purchaser and "SRM Administration" for administrator.
You see POWL for Business Partner.

Error in Manage Business Partner

Hi,
I have installed SRM in client 100 and SUS in client 200. Now when i log on to SRM and click on manage business partner, i can see transfer suppliers, pre select supplier, monitor BP. But when i click on these e.g transfer supplier or preselect i am getting an error as below
Business Server Page ( BSP ) error
The following error text was processed in the system
BSP: Execption : Access to page default.htm requires HTTPS. HTTPS has not been configured on this server.
Please let me know how to set this up.

Hi,
I checked under the BSP Application, the HTTPS is already deactivated for all the SUS applications. Is there any other setting that need to be checked, I have asked my Basis team also to look into this error. Any suggestions please.

Managing Business Partner in SRM 5.0

hi, anybody knows how to manage/assign a Business Partner ID to a user during user creation in SRM

Rex,
If you only created a root node, please create a subnode with PPOMA_BBP (it is recomended not to assign a user directly to the root node).
Check that the 2 nodes have a BP generated.
Get out of PPOMA_BBP transaction (to avoid block entry)
Retry with users_gen to assign the user to the subnode.
If the user you're trying to regenerate have been loaded with users_gen of created with BBPMAININT (web). Then the problem can come from the fact that the users are already partialy created. Then use the check users function in users_gen. This function will allow you to repair the users (and create BPs if necessary).
Have fun.

Problem with External List Management; Business Partner Type

Hello experts;
I created a mapping format for importing a simple notepad file. In the ELM i see all my fields populated correctly. Once i start the importing process it goes smoothly with no mistakes at all (green lights). The bp is actually imported and i can see it in the BP transaction with most of the fields correctly imported BUT the business partner type (PERS_PERS_BPKIND in ELM). For this field i have a Constant Assignment which is always HH and because of that i don't have it in my notepad file but i pass the value directly from ELM constant assignement=HH. Unfortunately this value is not copied. Any idea? Am i doing something wrong or i'm loosing some steps in between?
Thank you very much

Hello,
the issue is most probably related to missing authorizations. As you know the processing in external list management happens in the background using WF-BATCH user.
Please check the following notes:
708557 - 'ELM: Troubleshooting' point 1.

Use of business partner functionality in combination with dual control

Is there a generally agreed upon procedure to use the business partner functionality in combination with dual control? The problem is that when you block a business partner, the customer/ vendor master data aren't blocked automatically. You can then still use them in transactions, which leads to problems.
So is there a way to make this work or a procedure to do this?
Niels Vanwingh

Thanks Masa,
I did notice the 'Add external supplier from' in create supplier or bidder option. However there is a small catch and your experience may help.
Let me explain the requirement and scenario here in SRM 7.
We are implementing the Registration of Supplier scenario; both ROS and SRM are in same client. When a potential supplier registers themselves in the registration system, a BP number is created (an Internal number range is defined for this). After accepting the potential supplier in pre-select screen the purchaser has two options to transfer the potential supplier from the ROS system to SRM
Option 1: He can select the accepted potential supplier from the supplier directory option and transfer the business partner to SRM. In this case the business partner number of the potential supplier is retained in SRM and a business partner with supplier and bidder tag is created. However the purchaser does not have any option to select which type of business partner he would like to create like supplier or bidder.
Option 2: Purchase can go to create supplier or bidder option and choose the u2018Add external supplier formu2019 from the ROS system and create the business partner. The ROS business partner details are copied to the create supplier screen, but the purchaser have to provide an external business partner number for the supplier. This is because we have defined external number range for business partner for the vendors that are replicated from ERP to SRM.
Objective is the ROS business partner should be retained in SRM with option to create as supplier and bidder and then manually create ERP supplier with same SRM BP number and map against SRM supplier.
Is there any way we can achieve this?
In SRM 5.5 with Manage business partner functionality we could achieve as system give us the option which business partner type we would like to create as well as retains the ROS BP number in SRM.

Sandeep

Error in Manage BP: Business partner Invalid

Hi friends,
We are working with SRM5.0, SP08.
I have cretated a vendor business partner through supplier registration route and also have maintained an employee for the same.
Later, when I try to make any changes in personal data of this employee (through manage business partner) in change mode, system gives me error "Business partner XXX is invalid".
I would appreciate, if anybody can guide me to resolve this problem.
Best Regards,
Prashant

Hi Prashant,
The mistake in the entire process is as follows.
You have created employee BP 343 but while creating the same you have not made the checkbox "Employee is the Contact Person" active and saved it.
This results into non - linkage of your BP 342 with Employee BP 343.
Now as per the screen shot what you are trying to achive is that you are opening 343 in edit mode with BP 342 and trying to make checkbox "Employee is the Contact Person" active , for which the system gives an error. ( We have simulated the case over here).
This could be reported to OSS as BUG, because system is not allowing you to change BP 343 in conjunction with 342.
If you do not follow the steps mentioned earlier than probably system does not create this BP 343 with BP role BUP001, and hence the error.
To prove this point, you can create another Employee BP, but while doing so, make the check box active in the first instance.

Plz award the points for the help.

Change relations to new business partner?

Hi,
Hope you can give some useful tips regarding the following:
We have an account manager (Business Partner type: Person) who is the Responsible Salesrepresentative for a large number of customers (also business partners).
This account manager is being replaced by another accountmanager and now we are trying to find a way to quickly assign all customers of the previous account manager to the new account manager without having to manually maintain the relationship entries.
Aare there any ways to do this quickly??
Many thanks for any useful info.
Best regards
Willem

Hi Willem,
Unfortunately there is no standard functions available to meet your requirements, there is however the trx massd, which allows mass updates for general data , sales areas, banks etc, however no option is avialable for relationships as yet. This trx could be extended to meet your requirements, but then the effort might be a little high.
I would recommend the following,
1. create a report and use the api's, bupa_relationships_get/bupr_relationships_get to read the relationships of all the bp's.
2. use the api bupa_relationship_get_detail to find out the details and store them in local variables.
3. then using the relationship api's , delete the relationship with old account manager and then add the relationship to the new account manager with the relationship data stored in local variables.
Kindly test the report thoroughly for one or two bp's before you plan to execute thhe same for all the bp's.
Best Regards, Adil

Business Partner Custome Fields Mandatory

Hi,
I have added some custome felds to the manage business partner. I want some of the custome fields to be mandatory.
Can anybody tell how to do it?
Regards,
Raveendra

Hi
Please paste what code you have made here in your reply.
<b>Meanwhile, go through the following links -></b>
Re: Vendor Master Extension in SRM
Re: F4 for customer table fields
Re: Add custom fields to Contract Transaction in SRM 4.0
<u>Other realted Information -></u>
It is possible to add custom fields / structure to the Business partner screen.
It is required that you create a custom screen (sub-screen) and perform the assignments in the BDT. Go to area menu BUPT. You can see sub-menu Screen Layout. Check the customizing using transactions BUS2 to BUS5.
You can add custom fields, custom screens and assign custom PBO and PAI function modules. You can have a look at how the existing screens are made and accordingly copy / configure your custom screen and fields. Enhancement through BUPT will work. Just ensure that the field group which you add for that there is a flag 'TABLE CONTROL' in transaction BUS2 which has to be set.
Hope this will help.

Business partner deletion - master data

In SAP Note 1111635 -Business partner cannot be deleted
try to delete a business partner or a contact person. This is not
possible bcoz address cannot be deleted because there are other references .
1) deletion of the address, because it used to be used as a sender or recipient for
e-mails, faxes and so on .
If we use address within BUSINESS COMMUNICTION SERVICES   (BCS )
the system writes a where-used list for this address.This reference is a link between the address and the sent document. We can only delete the address when this link no longer exists.
HOW DO WE DELETE THE LINK BETWEEN ADRESS AND THE SENT DOCUMENT   ?
In SAP Note 556538 - Archiving business partner for the employee role
Business partners in the employee role are linked to an object called the
central person. This object originates from the HR-PD framework and is used
to integrate the business partner with the HR-PD framework. The central
person does not have an archiving function. Only the business partner can
be archived. However, the business partner has the employee role and is
thus linked with a central person (and therefore cannot be archived).
HOW DO WE REMOVE THE LINK BETWEEN BUSINESS PARTNER u2013ROLE , EMPLOYEE AND CENTRAL PERSON   ??

Hello Jorgito,
Without deleting transactional data. I guess you mean without deleting all the data from de cubes. But you want to get rid of the transactional data of BP type "C".
Go to the manage screen of the cube involved.
Go to the tab 'Contents'
click on the button 'Selective Deletion' (right-side at the bottom)
On the pop-up click on the button 'Delete selections'
Fill in type 'C'
Start the job.
I hope this will help you.

FM to create business partner in dialog from address

Hello gurus,
anyone got an idea how to create a business partner in dialog mode and provide a given address as default. I already checked several function modules / BAPIs, but I couldn't find one that provides this functionality.
Would be great if someone has a hint!
Thanks in advance,
Alej

Hi,
Try this BAPI_BUPA_FS_CREATE_FROM_DATA2
With this method you can create business partners in selected business partner roles (BP roles).
You can create business partners of the category person, organization, or group, enter relevant general data, and control the number assignment using business partner grouping.
You can also enter an address including data for address-dependent and address-independent communication methods.
For more info on BAPI_BUPA_FS_CREATE_FROM_DATA2 [click here.|http://www.se80.co.uk/sapfms/b/bapi/bapi_bupa_fs_create_from_data2.htm]
