Customer and Vendor Partner Functions ?

What are the different Customer and Vendor Partner Functions ?

Hi Manoj,
I guess most of ur questions are related to SAP Business One (Functional) rather than the SDK. So please post ur questions in the SAP Business One forum rather than in the SAP Business One SDK forum. Then u'll get quick replies.

Material vs. Products and Business Partner vs. Customer and Vendor

Hi,
Just wondering if there's any SAP recommendation for using 'Products' repository vs. Material repository. Similarly, is there any SAP recommendation for using 'Business Partner' repository vs. Customer and Vendor repositories.
Can anyone would like to shed some light on what is recommended with pros and cons? Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Mins,
you can group the repositories in the following way:
Group 1
- Material
- Vendor
- Customer
Group 2
- Product
- Business Partner
Repositories of Group 1 are related to the corresponding R/3 (ERP) data models. The repositories cover a large part of the R/3 fields and can be used to integrate your R/3 systems with MDM as they contain import and syndication maps for R/3.
Repositories of Group 2 are related to the common CRM and SRM data model. Those repositories have been developed with the goal to integrate CRM, SRM and R/3 with MDM. Unfortunately the structure of the Group 1 repositories was not capable to fullfill this. Group 2 repositories contain import and syndication maps to all remote systems (CRM, SRM, R/3). But those repositories are not as large as the Group 1 as the first task of the Group 2 repositories was the data consolidation scenario.
There is no general recommendation which repository to use. It depends on the project setup on customer side:
- If you want to use MDM for R/3 only, it makes sense to use Group 1
- If you want to use MDM for R/3 only, but you want to consolidate your customers and vendors in one single repository, you should use the Business Partner Repository because this one can hold both object types
- If you want to use MDM for CRM and SRM, you should use Group 2
So a general recommendation could be to check the Master Data setup and landscape within your project and then to choose the corresponding repository.
Kind regards

Business partner as customer and vendor

Hi,
I am trying to process an variable interest rate instrument wherein we need to create a single BP for both customer and vendor.
The FI customer and FI vendor has the same number( external) in our system.
I have done the required CVI settings and system does automatically create the customer as BP or vendor as BP, DEPENDING upon which master data is set up first in FI.
I do not see both vendor and customer as integrated in BP under the same Co.code, though individually it works.
. Our requirement is to create one BP for both the Vendor and Customer.
Please let me know what i am missing here.
Thanks,
Vamsi

Payment Run - Clearing between Customer and Vendor and Partner Bank Account

Is there a way to have the bank details for the payment to be pulled from the vendor master if an outgoing payment is created or from the customer master if an incoming payment is created? Our requirement is to consider both vendor and customer items during payment processing. In doing so, if the net of the clearing between the customer and vendor account results in an incoming payment, we want to use the bank details specified from the customer and if the net results in an outgoing payment, we want the bank details on the vendor master to be used.
As such we tick the box on Vendor master to clear with customer and tick the box on Customer master to clear with Vendor. We have defined 2 payment methods and entered both payment methods on both the customer and Vendor. We have also entered the different bank accounts on the payment transactions tab of the vendor and customer masters.
It seems regardless of resulting payment method chosen, the bank details are getting pulled from the vendor master.

Hi,
It is possible without any doing any kind of config or master data changes
While doing F-53, after entering all the required data in open item selection screen, after getting vendor open line items, go to menu item edit->select more.
There enter account type as D and company code (customer account no's comp code) and click on process open items
So you can choose the line items from the other company code's customer also.
Thanks,

BUPA creation from customer and Vendor Master data in R/3 - Urgent!!

Hello All,
Firstly I am posting this query in this group to figure out a way to achieve this functionality of integration and moving Business Partners.
<u>Requirement: </u>On creation of every Customer or Vendor in R/3 we need to create a Business Partner in cProject, I have been told this could be achieved with the ALE functionality,
My guess would be to for every customer or vendor created in R/3 by User-exit create Business Partners by organization in R/3 and through ALE or BAPI create the same BP's in cProjects, I really need help in getting this solved,
Please advice me if I am missing something.
Thanks

HI,
Goto SPRO\ Cross application components \ Master data synchronization \ Synchronization control.
Assign account groups of customer and vendors to respective BP grouping. This setting is enough to create BP in background while creating customer / vendor. But the fields groups are very much important, ensure mandatory fields should be sync.

Direct Customer and Vendor Creation

MDG Gurus,
I am looking for a way/approach using which a customer or a vendor can be created directly without the need of a Business Partner setup in the system.
This question pertains to SAP MDG 6.1
Hope the question is clear
Thanks
Shantanu

I agree with Ajithkumar Krishnakumar . In a hub approach, you could replicate only the customer and vendor records without the BP (you will have to build this as out-of-the-box replication will replicate the BP).
Another solution will be to build a completely custom data model. This means that you will have to build all the access classes, checks and validations, etc.
I understand that there are many challenges when dealing with the BP object within the MDG context (I'm dealing with these challenges on daily basis). However, it would be a worthwhile investment to try to learn how BP works instead of fighting it as this will help you and your client in the long-run as many applications use the BP functionality.

Transfer of customer and vendor open items available? (like asset transfer)

May I ask you about your opinion.
In SAP we have functionality to transfer assets from burks"A" to bukrs "B".
Do we also have this functionality for customer and vendor open items?

Hello,
Unless you are on New GL with document splitting functionality, no items on vendor and customer will be posted with Profit Center.
You run 1KEK periodically to transfer the receivables and payables to PCA.

Customer and Vendor ageing report by ItemGroup@%@#$%@#$??

Hi All
How do we get Customer and Vendor ageing report by "ItemGroup"?
I know there is a standard report in Business One which gives you the ageing report by Business Partner Group. But I dont know whether it is possible to get by "ItemGroup". Please help me and excuse me for weird requirement..
Thanks

Hi Gordon,
that query is actually designed for getting the purchase reports with all the excise and other tax related information per line item in the marketing document. my requirement is something different than this where the client wants to see the ageing report by Itemgroup.
Since ageing is based on the invoice due date it looks difficult to bifurcate the each individual line item, its group, its line total and their due date. means we should add all the open invoices' line items to be grouped with its total based on the due date. any other way to solve this?
thanks

Program for customer and vendor master

Hi All,
I am working with ale-idocs. could you plese tell me the program name for transferring the customer and vendor master data.
thanks in adavance,
Sugeet.

Hi Sugeet,
You can transfer the Customer/Vendor master data by activating change pointers or by using RBDSEDEB/RBDSECRE programs manually by giving the customer or vendor number. But for both the methods you need to configure the partner profile settings.

Clearing between customer and vendor invoice with F110 transaction

Hello,
I have an issue related to the functionalities of the transaction F110.
I'd like to clear the vendor invoice with the custome invoice.
Customer and vendor records are linked properly and the flag 'Clrg with Cust.' is set on vendor and 'Clearing with Vendor' is set on customer.
Both the invoice are in USD and the amount in document currency of the vendor invoice is > of the amount in document currency of the customer invoice.
I entered in both the invoice the same payment method (outgoing payment method).
The error that I can see in the proposal log is related to the customer invoice and is:
Payment method selection for items due now to the amount of USD 500,00
Due items with currency USD, pmnt method - items total is > 0
..none of the payment methods defined can be used for these items
information re. vendor xxxxxxxx / customer yyyyyyy / paying company code TS01 ...
.. payment not possible because of reported error
According to the log of the proposal the vendor invoice can be paid.
If I click on display proposal and double click on the customer invoice (with red light) I can read the note:
No pymt possible because items with a debit
Following the settings of the payment method used:
Payment method in the country
- Payment method for outgoing payment selected
- Bank transf. selected
- allowed for personal payment flagged
- Bank details flagged
- Document type for payment XX
- clearing document type XX
- Use classic payment medium program selected
Currency allowed: This table is empty (will mean that all currencies are permitted)
Payment method in company code
Minimum amount: 0,01
Maximum amount: 9.999.999.999,99
Distribution amnt: 0,00
Single paymentfor marked item selected
Foreign business partner allowed selected
foreign currency allowed selected
Cust/vend bank abroad allowed? selected
Bank selection control "No optimization" selected
Can you please help me to understand the error?
I'm afraid it is a problem with the bank but I don't understand why the payment of the vendor invoice is allowed and the customer invoice not.
Thank you very much in advance

Bpartner - Link between customer and vendor if its the same face

Hello
As I understood the primary idea to keep all business partners together is to make a link between differant roles of the same partner (like link customer and vendor if its the same face). Please correct me if I am wrong.
The questions is : how this link is done in CRM (how the customer is linked to vendor if its the same face).
