CRM business partner to R/3 BP & customer

Hi,
Our CRM 5.0 system is linked to our ECC system. As per the current middleware & PIDE config, CRM BPs are being replicated as R/3 customers. In other words, CRM BUT000 entries are replicated to R/3 KNA1 table.
Now we need the CRM BUT000 entries to replicate in R/3 BUT000 as well. Any suggestions on how this can be achieved? Do I need to activate additional function modules in ECC table CRMC_BUT_CALL_FU?
Regards,
Kaushal

Hi Paul,
If you need to work with just 1 or say a handful of BP, why dont you use synchronisation load instead of initial load.
Goto transation R3AR2. (Define request)
create new entry
Give request name - say Z_BUPA_TEST
Adapter object - BUPA_MAIN
Click on request detail:
Again click on new entries:
table name - BUT000
fieldname - PARTNER
Incl/Ex - I
Option - EQ
LOW - your BP number (with leading spaces)
Save this request.
goto R3AR4 to execute this request.
Enter request name(Z_BUPA_TEST) and source and destination systems. execute.
To monitor this data transfer, goto transaction R3AR3.
PLease let me know if this helps.

Kaushal

Error "CRM business partner could not be mapped to an ERP customer

Hello experts
Kindly help
I am creating quotation in crm web UI and when i save it it gives warning message "CRM business partner 65451 could not be mapped to an ERP customer"
when i checked in ECC system for same quotation it is avaialble there .
Then why this warning message is coming
rply

Hello
You have to define mapping between CRM and ERP customer. The information which customer is associated with which BP is stored in CRM in table CRMM_BUT_CUSTNO and but0id. Use transaction PIDE on the ERP side to form mapping. Then work with load of customers.
Such error appears when data about BP is entered in document directl but system couldn't find mapping in tables above. Hope it helps.

Can I use one Business Partner repository for Vendor and Customer?

Can I use one Business Partner repository for Vendor and Customer? or do we have to use Vendor and Customer Repository separately. How can we do that? What are the pros and cons? can any one provide some examples:

Hi Deepak
The key purpose of SAP "enabling" the facility of multiple main tables in a repository is to primarily "manage" those master data objects that are related to each other. Typical examples will be a) Customer - Material, b) Supplier - Material, etc.
While, it is pretty easy to add multiple main tables in a repository, it is also important to understand the purpose of doing so based on the business requirements.
Besides, you got to be aware that in case you are "fixing" any issues with one main table (master data object) for which you have to unload the repository, the users will not be able to use the repository that has a main table defined for other master data object. Hence, there are pros and cons of using this capability of multiple main tables.
So, it is really important to understand the "W's" - What, Why, When, Where, Who of Data modeling before actually working on the "H" - How to in the SAP MDM tool.
Hope this helps.

Relink CRM Business partner with customer in ECC

Hi all,
In our organization, most business partner master data is automatically replicated with ECC.
Table BUT0ID contains the link between a BP and customer on ECC.
For some reason it happens regularly that a CRM BP gets a wrong link.
I.e. BP 80001234 is by accedent linked to 80001000, but it should be 80001234.
I'm asked to provide a solution to change this link.
With BAPI's 'BAPI_IDENTIFICATION_DELETE', 'BAPI_IDENTIFICATION_CHANGE' and/or 'BAPI_IDENTIFICATION_REMOVE' it's easy to modify table BUT0ID properly.
But whatever I change, the replication is still carried out on the wrong customer.
Afters hours of debugging and tracing I couldn't find the reason. Is there perhaps an other table to change?
Did any of you have the 'golden tip' for me to fully Relink?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Sijmen

Hi Sijmen,
Try FM bupa_identification_change. Ii think that will work for you.
Thanks,
Kumar.

CRM Business Partner and Customer Mapping

Hi,
I wanted to know, how do we find out, that a BDOC of type BUPA_MAIN in SMW3_BDOC will be a customer or a Business Partner.
Is there some way to know this thing.
Regards,
Rishav

Hi Rishav,
Here is how you can find it out.
In transaction smw01, you get get the BP number. In trancaction BP in CRM. you can check the role of the BP. Then you can check the clasification that is mapped to this role of BP. Then in ERP go to transaction PIDE and check the mapping from from CRM->ERP. There you can find the Account group mapped to this classicication.You can find all the customer account groups in ERP using transaction OVT0.
All these account groups would be mapped to customers in ERP.
Hope this clarifies your query.

Shourav

IS-U/CRM business partner created in SD results in data loss

Dear experts,
I have been investigating a strange issue with a customer.
It concerns a IS-U/CRM architecture, where also the SD customers are exchanged.
- All IS-U business partners are exchanged. Not all of these business partners have an SD customer (with same number) linked.
- Some SD customers (some account groups) have no IS-U business partner linked
Now when in IS-U a business partner is extended for SD (via reference customer) a bdoc is sent to crm, containing next changes :
- is_customer is set to X
- Sd account group is filled
On the R/3-ISU side the customer is created in SD. But when processing the BDoc sent to CRM, crm answers also with a customer create (??) which results in the SD customer to be overwritten
--> this is clear because we have blocked the queues and after extending the BP in ISU the SD customer was created with userid of the employee (ERNAM), and after processing BDoc the SD customer creator (ERNAM) was changed to the RFC customer.
This also leads to the fact that data which was copied in from the ref.customer into the SD customer was overwritetn again by the CRM insert.
Has anybody ever been confronted with a similar problem or can give me some advice how to handle this. As we are already in production, and this leads to data loss, In don't need to say this is a very urgent issue for us.
Thank you very much, and of course points will be rewarded!!
Regards,
Michiel Strybol

Hi Alin,
Thank you for your reply.
I'll try to explain these in some more detail :
1/ We have a system landscape which includes ECC/IS-U & CRM
2/ We have different scenarios active:
- We have a scenario where IS-U is not involved, meaning SD customers (=ECC customers in the Sales & Distribution Module (KNA1)) are replicated to CRM
- IS-U business partners are replicated to CRM. But not all IS-U business partners have an SD customer record active. When billing needs to be done for such a customer, an SD customer is created for this ISU business partner (from within ISU), using a reference customer in SD. Apparently this also seems to trigger a SD customer create sent from CRM which causes our problem ...
There is no master system. Business partners can be created both in ISU and CRM, and should the be replicated in the other system
Hopefully this clarifies it for you.
Thank you very much in advance!!

Missing default flag for communication type in crm/business partner

Hello!
We've connected a crm 5.0 with an R/3-system (4.6c).
The crm-system is the leading system...
While inserting a new customer in crm with phone- and fax-number.
After "save" we've got red bdocs, telling us that the standard entry for communication type is missing.
In crm 5.0 there's no standard flag for the phone number but a fixed range with from-date and to-date.
The R/3-system needs the default flag (an "X") as a sign that the number is the standard number.
Anywhere there should be the problem...
Is here anybody with some advices for us?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Best regards,
Ingo

Dear Ingo,
I assume you talk about error message XR002
You have 3 options to resolve the issue:
1. In order to avoid error message XR002 you must set the Standard
Indicator Validity in the maintained telephone in BP transaction.
You can find this indicator in the yellow arrow near the telephone
number. Here you must press the button "Standard Indicator Validity".
2. In customizing you have the possibility to switch off the time
dependency of the addresses causing the XR002.
3. The error occurs due to missing ADRU entries for the communication
data (Email, Phone, Fax etc).
The function modules used in data exchange assumes that there is
an ADRU entry for all addresses. This assumption is partially correct.
If an address is created in Basis release 6.40 and above, then for all
communication data of that address ADRU entries will be created.
But if a Business Partner(with address) is created in release 6.20 or
below and system is upgraded to 7.0, ADRU entries for the communication
data of thoses addresses are not automatically created. When the user
opens that BP in change mode & modifies the communication data and
saves it then ADRU entries for that BP's communication data are created.
There exist a correction report and several notes, so I think if above info
is not able to help, it would be better to open a support message!

Business partner ######### does not exist as customer, change not possib

We are in the process of upgrading from CRM 4.0 to CRM 7.0
I am currently testing our DEV system (that has been upgraded) and have found the following issue:
When I create a customer in transx BP the customer is not going through to R/3 - this is the case for all roles, even when ALL data is completed that needs to be there for masdatory fields in R/3
In SMW01 the BUPA_MAIN is set to green but but is not sent to R/3, when I look into the Error Segments there is an error stating that - Business partner 0005074626 does not exist as customer, change not possib
Does anyone know what this means or how to fix the problem
Regards
Barry

Arup
I have checked all the mapping and all is ok.
When a BP is created in transx BP as a 'Business Parter (GEN)' role it
saves OK but when you change, or extaend into another Role,
say 'Prospect' and update the classification etc there is an ERROR in
SMW01 stating:
'Business partner 0005074628 does not exist as customer, change not
possib'
If a BP is created in the Prospect Role all is well, the issue is with customers that are created in BP GEN first, we have thousands that are created in BP GEN then extended when they need to go through to R/3 for sales processing

Barry

Same Business Partner as both Vendor and Customer !!!!

Hi,
Our client has a customer, say XYZ, who is also a vendor to our client. XYZ sends them Raw Material and bills them for that. Our client sends him Finished goods and bills him for that.
When he pays our client, the amount for multiple bills of Finished Goods delivery, he adjusts the Purchase Bills with reference to his A/P Invoice Number in the total A/R Invoice value for those bills.
How to adjust that and handle this case in SAP B1???

Dear all,
How can we add a new field value to the Business Partner Language field in CRM and ECC systems.
Your suggestions will be highly appreciated
Thanks

Hi Shravanthi,
You would need to add the new language to table T002. Once this is done, it will appear in the drop down menus.

Business Partner Creation ( Master Tenant with Customer Account)

Hello Experts
Am trying to create a master tenant with a customer account, but as i save the business partner there is no corresponding creation of the master tenant with a customer account in the company code. The system only generates a business partner created. I have cheked the settings on business partner customer and have the correct FI custmer acount to the business partner, have also checked settings on the assignment of the reconciliation account to the BP and again it is compatible with the customer reconciliation account in Financials. I have also the synchronization data to see whether the synchronization object is activated, and it was not activated and i activated it, but still am not able to create a master tenant with customer account.
Please Experts help me on this am very very stranded
Regards
David Mavi

Hi David,
Following activities are to be done to create customer simultaneously while the creation of business partner.
Business Partner Number Range: IMG>Flexible Real Estate Management (RE-FX)>Business Partner>Relevant Settings for Business Partner in RE Context>Number Range>Business Partner Number Range
Define Grouping and number range: IMG>Flexible Real Estate Management (RE-FX)>Business Partner>Relevant Settings for Business Partner in RE Context>Number Range>Define Groupings and Assign Number Ranges
Also make sure that the customer account group is created with a number range which should be external. The number range for the business partner should be internal.
Master Data syncronization: IMG>Cross Application Components>Master Data Synchronization>Customer/Vendor Integration>Business Partner Settings>Settings for Customer Integration>Field Assignment for Customer Integration>Assign Keys>Define Number Assignment for Direction of BP to Customer
In the settings select the same number range only if the number ranges for the customer account group and BP groups are the same.
If u have done all these things and still the customer is not getting created then there might be a problem of the mandatory fields. i.e may be in customer account group some fields are mandatory which are not getting copied from the BP. So make all the fields in the customer account group as optional. and try to create new BP again.

Business Partner who is vendor and customer

Please explain me the logic behind the concept that we should not buy from customer and we should not sell to vendor in [SAP Business One|http://www.brio.co.in/sapbusinessoneoverview.aspx]. In real life it happens frequently that we buy and sell to a same person. Is there any work around? or is there any update 2007 where we can sell and purchase from same business partner.

MDM Business Partner 5.5 Not Creating Customer Master in SAP ECC

Hi,
I am importing Business Partner into ECC from MDM using XI with BP Business Content. This is done using proxy.
The business partner is created sucessfully but the customer master table KNA1, KNB1 is not being populated.
Does anyone experienced this before? Or has a solution for this?

I am not creating customer in ECC. I am creating Business Partner, this is because we are using IS-U which uses the BP instead of the Customer Master.
So we are using the MDM BuPa to ABAP BuPa mapping.
The thing about this is, when we run the transaction BP to create Business Partner, it automatically creates a mirror KNA1 record to match the business partner. But through MDM-XI proxy, it is not creating the record.
