  • Business Partner Role  and Business Partner Grouping

    Hello Everybody!
    Business Partner Role  and Business Partner Grouping.
    Which correlation ist between this attributes existing.
    In which table are this infos stored, In order create I can use
    e.g. BUPA_CREATE_FROM_DATA
    but how is the way inversely. Suppose I want to abtain the information
    about a existing business partner which group he has etc.
    Regards
    sas

    Dear Sas,
    Business Partner Grouping is used to determine the number ranges to be used by the business partner at the time of creation.
    Business Partner Role determines the subset of all the data available to be shown and edited.
    I will give you a very simple (but imaginary) example for understanding the role concept: the business partner in a role of employee might allow you to enter a department id. So this field should be available to you for input when you edit the business partner in the role of employee. But suppose the same business partner is also a person who is your customer. And your customer will require a default payment term. So this field should be available for input when you edit the business partner in the role of a customer. Also, some applications use these roles to determine if the business partner is suitable for particular transaction. In the above example, Payroll application will only allow those Business Partner to be used if they are maintained as an employee. Similarly the sales application can mandate that you can only sell a product to a business partner if he is maintain in a 'customer' role.
    Please understand the example above is not real but given for the understanding of the concept of role.
    You can use the function module 'BUPA_CENTRAL_GET_DETAIL' to find the business partner group. And you can use the function 'BUPA_ROLES_GET' to find the role assigned to a Business Partner.

  • Business content - Customer, Business Partner or both

    Hi
    We have a task where we need to decide which business content to choose: Customer or Business Partner. Our current requirements points out that we can fulfill 90% of the requirement by utilizing the Customer information modell in SAP ECC.
    Our MDM scenario (decentralized MDM strategy) looks like this:
    Customer created in SAP ECC and then sent via SAP PI to SAP MDM. From SAP MDM the customer data is then distributed to SAP CRM and other non-SAP systems.
    Should we utilize both the business content (Customer, Business Partner) in SAP MDM as templates since the business content for Customer is based on ECC and business content for Business Partner is based on SAP CRM. If so I assume that we need to create a syndication to the Business Partner repository for each customer created in the Customer repository. Then we need to initiate a syndication to SAP CRM from the Business Partner repository. Is it better in this scenario to have Customer- and Business Partner in the same repository?
    So two questions based on the above input:
    Which Business content to use Business Partner, Customer or both?
    Should they be in separate repositories or in the same? (I understand that by keeping them in the same we create a more tight connection so that if you want to make changes in the Customer repository we need to unload the repository and thereby also influencing the Business Parter related harmonization processes).

    Hello Göran,
    Customer created in SAP ECC and then sent via SAP PI to SAP MDM.
    From SAP MDM the customer data is then distributed to SAP CRM and other non-SAP systems.
    I would suggest to consider Centralized MDM strategy (Still like to know the thought behind Decentralized MDM Strategy).
    Customer should be created first in SAP MDM and then it should be syndicated to other systems.
    Benefits of having Centralized MDM strategy are...
    1. You can differentiate between potential Customers and Actual Customer by implementing Approval process.
    2. You can use MDM key strength, that is Match & Merge feature which help avoiding duplicates.
    3. You cat get most out of SAP MDM using Centralized MDM strategy.
    Which Business content to use Business Partner, Customer or both?
    Depends on your business need.
    Should they be in separate repositories or in the same?
    Having them in two independent repositories will be beneficial, because...
    1. For avoiding tight connection (as you stated)
    2. You can use SAP Business Content very well.
    3. Repositories created based on SAP Business Content will be flexible from long term perspective (Upgrade, Maintenance etc).

  • Can Business Partner number and Vendor Number, Plant Numbe be same in SRM ?

    Hi Experts,
    We are configuring SRM7.0 with ECC6 ( Ehp4) having Classic Scenario .
    I configured sandbox, and everything working fine.
    I have one query.  The Business Partner Number and the Vendor Code or Plant code are different. So while entewring the Location key in Shopping cart we need to enter BP code, by drilldown ( In drilldown we can see ECC Vendor Plant number).
    Its no big problem,.
    Can anyone suggest  whether it is possible to have both Unique or exactly same , so no need to remeber both code or see in drilldown.
    Thanks
    NAP

    Hi Narendra
    Location - BP can be different only since plant assign  always internal BP number only so BP number and plant number can not be same.
    but Vendor you have two options .
    External Number  - if you were selected BP and Vendor number will be remain same.
    Internal Number - if you were selected BP and Vendor number will be different.
    visit BUCF tcode for Internal and External BP number configuration.
    See our Mentor Ricardo detail explanations
    http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SRM/ECCPlantorLocationnumberisnotdisplayedinShoppingCart
    All the associated parties which are used in the SRM environment (like location, recipient and supplier) are modelled as business partners.
    Due to this fact the user interface displays the business partner numbers in a uniform manner, as the business partners are the technical representation of the involved parties.
    In order to give the user a better idea which business partners are shown by the numbers, a little text is displayed next to the corresponding field (e.g. 11147 - Werk Hamburg).
    When ERP plants are replicated to SRM system, plant numbers are converted into business partners and a new ID is assumed.

  • Business Partner ID and Vendor creation

    Hi All,
        My client does not want to create Vendor IDs for potential vendor during RFx until awarded.
    My situation is if the supplier registers to buyer Business partner id is created first.  Buyer still cannot proceed with PO processing(classic scenario) until a vendor id is created at the backend and replicated to SRM. 
    My question is how do we tie the Vendor Id of back end and Business Partner Id in SRM hoping that custom development is triggered to create vendor at the back end immediately after the supplier is awarded.
    Please advise.

  • Business Partner Report and table???

    Can anyone tell me if there is a standard report/program that shows all the business partners in a report format? I am trying to get a list of all the business partners created in collections management so that I can compare it with the customer master records and figure out what customers were left out.
    Also, what is the table or is there a table where business partner master data is held. E.g KNA1 is for customers.

    Hi,
    The BP table is BUT000. There is no comparison table that tells you which customers are linked to which business partner. There is a CVI link table but that contains GUID.
    Alternatively you can use the log of the program that sends the open items to collections management. That log will tell you what BP are not synchronized.

  • Business Partner Roles and Account Life Cycle management in IC

    Hi all,
    We have IC agents creating prospects but also back office people (i.e. sales staff) creating prospects. Back office staff uses account life cycle management to identify the prospect role. However, I noticed that the business partner role (prospect in this case) is not visible within the IC - during account creation - because the role is used within the account life cycle role exclusion group.
    I can always enhance the IC component to remove the filter on the BP Role. but question I have is why does SAP IC remove the roles from the role drop down list in the IC account creation screen and how did other people get around this?
    Thanks,
    John

    I am also looking for an answer on this. How did other people who work on Interaction Center get around this? How do you create accounts when IC removes the BP roles mentioned in the Exclusion group config in SPRO ?

  • Unable to create Business Partner - Organization and Group

    Hello Experts,
    I am learning SAP CRM, I am working on version 5.0. I am not able to create BP in Org and Group, but I am able to create the person. I made few changes in BP role, since then I am not able to create BP in Org and Group...these both are deactivated...
    Plz help me...
    All valid answers would be given points....that's sure...!!!
    Thanks all..Happy Posting...

    Hi
    Check the roles that are not hidden.
    Are the categories Org and Group assigned to them?
    To do so, the path is IMG>Cross-Application Components> SAP Business Partner--> Business Partner > Basic Settings> Business Partner Roles-->Define BP Roles
    Here choose the option BP Role categories, now double click on the role you will see if it is permitted with the categories Org and Group.
    Incase you done have the Org or Group checked for your visible BP Roles, it will not permit to create Orgs and Groups. Check Org or Group category and you should be able to create BPs in these categories.
    Hope this helps

  • Business Partner Datasources and ARFCSSTATE table data increase

    Hi Experts,
    I´ve been facing a performance decrease in SAP ECC data loading throughout the days, since we´ve started productive system (about 10 days).
    During data loading, we have noticed an considerable amount of time spent by WP on reading table ARFCSSTATE. We checked note 375566, but there´s nothing that could be done to revert the situation.
    Our ARFCSSTATE table has now 3.5M records, whereas our Business Partner master data datasources represent 99% of this data volume as can be checked in transaction SMQS (qRFC).
    We also have noticed that 2.8M records of this table has status = "RECORDED", but I don´t if this data should remain in this table (ARFCSSTATE).
    Anyway, as we are not advised to delete all these records manually, I´m wandering what we could do to prevent this table to increase considerably.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.
    Fábio

    Hi,
    If delta loads go through fine, the records should get deleted from the table you mentioned.
    Please check the following notes:
    516251 - Support guide: Problems with ARFCSTATE = RECORDED
    500316 - Delta request: Deletion from delta queue no longer executed
    380078 - FAQ: BW delta queue (RSA7): Questions and answers
    Also it would be good to check if any of your logistics extractors are using the 'direct delta' method. this also considerably affects the load performance when there are more number of delta records. There would be many LUWs getting written to delta queue this way.

  • Tables to link Business Partner number and User Name

    Hello SAP Experts,
    I'm having a hard time looking for the relationship tables that could link the Business Partner numbers with the user name of a user. I have tried to link the BUT* tables, the USR21 table, and several HRP* tables and I can't seem to find a link. For the table BUT000, the field XUBNAME which is suppose to contain the user names of the users are left blank for some reason.
    I just want to ask if there is any other table relationships I can check so I can retrieve the User name of a user using his/her BP number or vice versa. Thank you in advance!
    Regards,
    Romeo

    hi,
    i am not sure about tables but you can use FM BP_CENTRALPERSON_GET to get the user name from BP and vice versa. Get the BP guid from BUT000 table and give that to the FM
    thanks,
