CRM - ECC flow

Hi Experts,
We have a requirement to extract data from CRM to BI.
Please clarify few doubts related to CRM.
1. What is the common data between CRM and ECC.
2. What is the document flow from CRM to ECC i.e. which will be created first and why i.e. Prospects, Contract, Lead, Oppurtunity,Quotation etc
I am little bit confused why CRM is integrated with ECC.
Needs your inputs.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Bhadri M.

Hi Deepa & All,
Thanks for your valuable inputs.
Few questions,
1. In CRM, I want to see
Across a Business Partner how many Leads are there, against each Lead how many Opportunities are there with Opportunity status and the Quotations against each Opportunity.
Please provide if there are any tables where all these data is stored. If 2 or more tables are involved please provide the link from one table to other.
2. Are Business Partner in CRM and Customer in ECC same i.e. If a business partner is created in CRM say 1 then will the same 1 will reflect in ECC automatically ?
3. In CRM we are having Quotation, do we have even Contract ? If yes for Quotation & Contract status do we need to go for CRM or ECC ?
Are Quotation & Contract in CRM & ECC same i.e. same data ?
Please clarify what ever is possible from your end.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Bhadri M.

CRM-ECC Integration Issue

Hello Experts
I have an issue with data replication from CRM to ECC. My requirement is as follows:
1. There are few countries which have already gone LIVE with SAP CRM & ECC. In those cases, Customers will be created in CRM and the same will be replicated in ECC. The same happens for Quotations/ Sales Orders which gets replicated in ECC.
2. The business requirement currently is to prevent the replication of Customer master based on Account in ECC from CRM system for the countries which are going Live in future. Also teh Sales Orders, quotations which are created in CRM must not be replicated in ECC system & the same must be controlled based on Sales Area in ECC.
I am not sure of which Function Modules in ECC must be checked, so that we can find solution for the above. Probably, I am thinking of going for Z table for maintanenace of account groups and Sales Area in ECC, so that we can have better control.
Appreciate your earliest reply.

Mohan

For filtering the data that flows from ECC -> CRM you can set filters in R3AC1, R3AC3, etc.
For filtering data flowing from CRM -> ECC you need to filter based upon subscriptions in SMOEAC. You need to use an inteiligent Replication object assigned to your subscription for this purpose.

Using SOA for CRM --- ECC communication

Hi,
We have the following standard CRM ECC update scenarios
Condition Updates
Master data sync up etc.
We have ECC 6.0 and CRM 7.0.
We are trying to evaluate a scnario in which we can replace the CRM middleware by SOA services provided by SAP.
Are there any pointers to do the same.
Any help would be appreciated.

Abhishek

We figured out the issue. There is a transaction launcher setting specific to MDB that has a https flag.

CRM - ECC Integration

Hello Everyone,
We are trying to prototype the WebChannel part of CRM 7.0. However, as part of the prototype we'd like to leverage our SAP ECC 6.0 system to connect the CRM system to. But we are not sure what impact does connecting CRM to ECC will have on the ECC side. Would there be any impact on the ECC system? Impact like Configuration change, Data structure change, Enhancement Package change, or anything else?
The admins of the ECC system do not want to see any kind of impact on the ECC system because of the CRM connectivity. They are very strict about this as there are other activities that are happening on ECC system which should not get affected in any fashion.
Can someone please tell me what kind of impact will be on the ECC system because of connecting it to a CRM prototype system?
Again, our mission is the prototype CRM WebChannel.
Thank you,
Kiran

Hi Kiran,
Prototyping "Webchannel" is a very broad area and could lead to transaction documents that shouldbe replicated from CRM to ECC. "Connecting" CRM to ECC is not a single step process but depends on what that connection is intended to do.
If you do not want to replicate anything between CRM and ECC there is no need to connect them and thus no issue with prototyping in a standalone environment. The first step is to setup the communication path and that is generally safe. Then, there may be some configuration that should be replicated from ECC to CRM to allow the Master Data to be replicated. Unless you intend to replicate transaction data there is little chance of configuration conflicts.
One thing to remember is while initial replication is unidirectional (ECC->CRM or CRM->ECC), delta replication is often bi-directional. Subscriptions and filters allow this to be controlled somewhat, but there are objects for which this is not the case.
As to whether you should do a standalone prototype, I believe that will depend on your timeframe and what you want to prove. It is usually better to start with as much actual data as possible and that requires the ECC<>CRM connectivity. You would not want to prototype only to find out that something like your customer group structure in ECC can not be supported by the Webchannel scenario you want to implement.

CRM-ECC BP roles

HI,
I need to integrate CRM-ECC customer master data.
I have the 'FI Customer' role in ECC, but I have not seen a similar BP role in CRM (that allows me to enter Company Code).
Where can I find the matching BP roles between CRM-ECC?
Any input is very much appreciated. Thanks

BP data is different in CRM to ECC. Matching roles in CRM to account groups in ECC. Look at t-code PIDE in ECC.

BOM Explosion in CRM & ECC

Does anyone know of a way to control Sales BOM explosion at the item category level in the middleware? We have boms created in our ECC system for both standard and configurable materials. For our standard materials I need the sales BOMs to explode on the CRM order (for ISA shopping basket purposes) and to prevent a duplicate explosion in the ECC backend I have parameter NOSTRUCTURE set to X in SMOFPARSFA.
CRM does not support using configurable products as the header or component of sales boms so for these materials I do want the bom explosion to happen in ECC as the order flows from CRM to ECC.
I've tried adding order types and item categories to the parameter names for NOSTRUCTURE but it didn't work. OSS confirmed my findings that it would not work.

Hi,
I did work on single level BOM explosion in a couple of projects. As per SAP note 549341 - FAQ: BOMs in the sales order, it is very much possible to explode multi-level BOMs.
Check this note and item category BOM explosion options.

CRM - Process Flow of Authorization Check in Business Transactions

Hello Folks:
I have implemented CRM security using Process Flow of Authorization Check in Business Transactions.
What I have in place:
CRM_ORD_OP (inactive, don't want access to own documents)
CRM_ORD_LP (inactive, not using standard org level values Distribution Channel, Sales Group, Sales Office, Sales Organization, and Service Organization.)
CRM_ACT (active)
CRM_CMP (active)
CRM_ORD_OE (active, restricted to display with dummy value ' ' for Distribution Channel
Sales Group, Sales Office, Sales Organization and Service Organization, as we are not restricting on them)
CRM_ORD_PR (active and restricted to display)
Issue:
Restrictions to display for documents works fine when using CRM backend system and the system throws out a message that you are not authorized to change. But, when i come in through Portals (PCUI), i dont get the display at all and it throws out a message insufficient access authorizations.
Traces on backend CRM reveal failing on change access for CRM_ORD_LP and CRM_ORD_PR, which we dont want to give out b/c we dont want to provide change for documents.
OSS notes to SAP have resulted in no results....please advise what is wrong here.
Thanks
KT

Thanks for the Priyanka for the reply, but what you mention is not correct.
BSP errors are different from what I am refering to.
The issue is still open...and looks like a SAP bug, which even they havent been able to fix so far.

SAP CRM Middleware flow from R/3 to CRM

hi
I am new to CRM middleware I have some doubt about the replication from the R/3 to CRM.
I have some 4 basic questions Kindly help me out
1.in initial down lode how to know which object for which requirement? There is any list like these objects for this one?
2.when the initial download have to use and when the delta down lode have to use?
3.object creating is preferable option or not if yes in which condition we have to create the objects?
4.what is the difference between customizing objects and business objects? and when we have to use which object ?
wiht Regards,
prakesh..!

Hi Prakesh
Happy to hear that my answers were useful. Hope this new will solve your problem.
So let's reply to your new questions.
1) Yes it is the delta download. This means that you have already triggered the initial download. Now all changes or new creations are replicated into the CRM system. I do not suggest this approach. This is usually used when you have no other chance because this process is complex and very time consuming. I would suggest checking the BDoc before proceding with degugging the queue. Go to transaction code SMW01. Filter on time (when you made the change). You will find bdocwith a red or yellow traffic light. This means that data have been not processed in CRM system. You usually have an error message (just select the BDoc from the list and click the red button in the toolbar) attached to the BDoc that is explainatory of the error. Correct the error and reprocess the BDoc (there is a proper button).
2) To debug the queue go to transaction code SMQS and SMQR and deregistrate inbound and outbound queue in the CRM system. After you do this, apply the changes to the customer. You will find an inbound queue in transaction code SMQ2. Select the queue and click the last button in the header toolbar. You will process the flow in debug. Remember to register the queue when this is no more necessary otherwise you will have a mess in the system.
3) if you create new customer in CRM system, this are automatically replicated in the backend system basing on the scenario set. No additional tables are created. All the changes applied in the CRM system will be replicated in the backend with the same process except the Bdoc that are really CRM specific.
Hope this help you.

Fabrizio

KNA1-UPDAT/ KNA1-UPTIM ,Confirmation date/time not getting updated CRM/ECC

Hi
I found a case where, when Gen. data of BP is changed in CRM, Table BUT000 is updated with corresponding date and time of change. This chaged data is replicated to ECC but in KNA1 table UPDAT- update date and UPTIM- update time fields are not updated.
Can anyone suggest possible solution for this.
Thanks

Material download issue due to Lexicographical setting mismatch in CRM &ECC

Hi All,
We are facing material download problem due to Lexicographical settings.
In ECC, 'Save Lexicographically' is checked and maintained. While in CRM it is not maintained.
Now, we have aroung 10,00,000 materials in production system, and now we are facing problem with numeric material with leading zeros in replication from ecc to crm.
Please suggest what should we do.
If we maintain the setting now in CRM, what will be the impact on existing material and transaction data in crm.
Any sap note, with which we can maintain same setting as of ECC in CRM, and earlier data will also be valid.
Please help.
Regards,
Dhanraj Dange

Hi
1. In CRM, the transaction COMCPRFORMAT ( for Defining Product ID Settings ) has the settings for 'Save Lexicographically' as inactive then....
With nonlexicographical storage, the product IDs 123 and 0123 refer to the same product, that is, the leading zeros are meaningless. Both product numbers are stored in the database as 0000000000000000000000000000000000000123 and are thus identical.
2. But if In R3, the corresponding transaction OMSL has the settings for 'Lexicographical' as active then these 2 products will be considered as seperate products....

CRM ECC Mapping BP Account Groups

Hello,
I have searched the forum for an answer and I didn't find many answers about this (and what I find I think they are not proven procedures)
Do you have a proven procedure to map 1 Grouping in CRM to 1:n Account groups in ECC.
Thanx in advanced.
Best Regards

Hi Urjose,
In BP t-code, under 'classification' tab, there's a field called "R/3 account group" where you can define the R3 group desired for the partner. This will overpass the PIDE mapping settings at R/3 side.
Don't know if this is what you're looking for, but it is the only alternative I know to your scenario.
Kind regards,
Garcia

One Time Consumer - CRM / ECC

Hi,
I'm working with SAP CRM 7.0 (Service Scenario)
I have created Consumers in CRM and I don't want to replicate them in ECC.
How can I use the One Time Consumer in ECC in order to be able to replicate the BPs data "on demand" when replicating the CRM transactions (ex Sales Orders) in ECC?
Can anybody provide me with some documentation or explanation?
Thanks and Regards,
Andrea

CRM -ECC Tax Field update

Hi
I need help with a BAPI for the following scenario:
We have created a Z field for VAT in ECC BP which gets replacated in CRM 5.0 The problem is when we update the field in ECC, table KNA1 shows that it is updated but it does not update in CRM. Also with ECC BP that were created without the VAT number, when they obtain VAT and we try to update the field, only in ECC is it updated and not in CRM.
I have checked the DFKKBPTAXNUM in CRM and it is not updated. I expected this to be normal SAP Standard procedure but it appears not to be updating this table.
Ta

See if change log is triggered with change of the Z field in KNA1. See this for reference:[Maintaining Change Log for Database Tables|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ABAP/MaintainingChangeLogforDatabase+Tables]
