Customer/Vendor creation in CRM (with replication to ERP)

Hello SCN experts!
My task is creation BP for customers and vendors in SAP CRM system. After I should replicate them to ERP (ECC) and automaticaly create Customer and Vendor with all relevant data (like Company Data for Customers and Company Data /Purchasing organization for Vendors).
I know 2 different ways for it:
1) Customer Vendor Integration (CVI) Customer Vendor Integration (CVI) - SAP Documentation
2) "Simple" what is described here Configuration for vendor master data exchange ECC <---> CRM
Can anybody help me choose correct way and maybe explain some more info? Or it is the same ways?
Thanks
Johny

Hi Johny,
the documentation Customer Vendor Integration (CVI) is in my opinion the more complete one. It, for example, also contains instructions on how to perform the basic configuration of the SAP CRM Middleware. Configuring the SAP CRM Middleware is prerequisite in order to being able to configure the Customer Vendor Integration.
The second document you mention assumes that the SAP CRM Middleware is already configured correctly and just provides the necessary steps to configure the Customer Vendor Integration "on top".
The two documents IMHO don't describe different scenarios but instead provide similar information from different points of view.

Hi gurus! I just noticed that in one of our systems (development) the country key has a default value. Can anybody please help me how to do that in our UAT system? Thanks

Hi,
If ou want to make a default County key in Customer / Vendor Master then select the parameter id of countery key ie "LND" and set it in
System>User profile> Own data > Prameters.
Give the parameter id and value of the country key. After saving it logoff and again log in to check whether this field display with default country key given by you.

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

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.

Customer/Vendor A/C with line item details and with opening and closing Bal

Dear Sir / Madam,
Is it possible to have a customer and / or vendor Sub-Ledger account-
with line item details and with opening and closing balance detail
for a particular period.?
Regards
Chirag Shah
I thank for the given below thread which has solved the same problem for G/L Account
Re: Report to get the ledger printout with opening balances

Hello Srinujalleda,
Thanks for your precious time.
I tried the referred T-Code
But this report is not showing Opening balance, closing balance detail.
It only gives transactions during the specified posting period and total of it.
Please guide me further in case if I need to give proper input at selection screen or elsewhere.
Client Requires Report in a fashion
Opening Balance as on Date
+ / - Transactions during the period
= Closing Balance as on date
As that of appearing for G/L Account by S_ALR_87012311
Thanks once again & Regards

Aging Report with Customer/Vendor Ref. No. should allow backdate

Aging Reports for Suppliers and Customers.
The current printing of the aging reports using Sales Document tab or the Purchase Document tab does not tie with the GL balances when the dates are backdated. It is important that the detail aging report to show the customer/ vendor ref. no.
There are times when urgent outgoing/ incoming payment are entered into the system for the current period when the vendor detail aging reports or the customer statement with the customer/ vendor ref. no is not ready to be printed for the previous period.
By allow backdating, it gives the users much needed flexibility in creating the transactions into SAP Business One without having to wait till all the previous month financial reporting is finalized. This is especially important during the financial year end.
Current Workaround: None.

Hello,
Thank you for your input. The limitation is solved in 2007 A / 2007 B version as a part of new Internal Reconciliation concept.

R/3 to CRM: Automatic replication of Prospect customer

Hi Guys
We are downloading Business Partner data from R/3 to CRM , Manual download of BP'S (Initial Load->start) is working fine . we are creating prospect customer in R/3 through CRM Action Box call the moment we create the prospect customer in R/3 it should automatically replicate in CRM with out initiating manual down load .
pls help what settings to be done inorder to download BP'S automatically
Thanks in advance
Warm regards
Rajasekhar

Hi madhu,
Have you done the Intial load for the object "CUSTOMER_MAIN". Once the download of this object is done, Delta load for business partners to flow from R/3 to CRM and vice-versa will be activated automatically.
Please check the transaction R3AC4, where you should identify the Object calss entry as BUPA and RFC destination as your R/3 system. If not please make that entry, then delta will happen automatically
As vikas suggested, please make sure the PIDE settings, where you should assign R/3 prospect account group to CRM classification "C" and Number grouping.
And also check the BDOCS in Transaction SMW01.

Replication of CUSTOMER from ECC to CRM

Hi CRM Guru
Is that anyway to download the partner function (sold-to, ship-to, payer, bill-to, employee) in the customer sales area data from ECC to CRM (created as BP relationship in CRM) in the INITIAL LOAD?
For example:
Customer in ECC 100000000 have the partner function in the partner function tab under the sales area data
SP Sold-to = 100000000
SH Ship-to = 100000001
PY Payer = 100000002
BP Bill-to =100000003
And create those relationship in CRM under the Relationship area.
Please advice.
Thank you

Hi.
If what you are trying is to replicate the partner functions as relationships, first be sure that you have replicate the customer (the main and the others on partner functions sales areadata) using the middleware object CUSTOMER_MAIN.
Then run the object CUSTOMER_REL for the main partner. This will result on the relationship creation at CRM side, representing the partner functions on R/3 site.
Be aware that if in R/3, the main partner represents all the partner functions, when it is replicated into CRM, the system does note create a relationship to himself, but this not means that the partner can be used in sold to party, payer, ship to and bill to partner functions on documents.

Address Change in Customer/Vendor Master upon creation or change Master

Hi Expert,
We need to change some Address fields( *ADR6-SMTP_ADDR , ADRC-DEFLT_COMM, KNA1-TELTX, KNA1-TELX1*) in Customer Master based on some condition while creation/change the Master Data. I need to do same fields in Vendor Master as well.
I tried all the Possible exit Here.
If you know a Proper exit /BADI or one possible solution to solve my problem?
If anyone can provide any BAPI name which is used to Modify any customer/Vendor address will be very much helpful as well.
Thanks in Advance for your help.
Suman Adhikari

Hi Kesav,
For customer BAPI_"CUSTOMER_CHANGEFROMDATA" and "BAPI_CUSTOMER_CHANGEFROMDATA1" both Sales Organization is a required filed. Here we need to change some fileds(standard communication filed , Customer Email address, and Telex No) based on telex filed of customer for Customer irrespective of Sales Organization or any other constraints. The same requirement is for Vendor as well. If there is any proper exit/badi where KNA1 and address structure ADRC,ADR6 etc are available that will we good.
I just need to modify some address fields for customer as well as vendor. If there is any BAPI for change address(customer/Vendor) then that will also be helpful.

Problem with customer/vendor clearing

Hi all,
We are launching the payment proposal for this month and we have found one issue related to the clearing customer/vendor.
The vendor invoices are filled in the Part. Bank Type with 1 or 2u2026, but the customer invoices has this field as blank.
In the payment proposal, the system does not clear both documents. It only considers vendor invoice.
We solve the issue temporally by changing manually the partner bank type for the customer invoices. Then the system considers both documents (vendor/customer).
Does anyone has an idea how to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Soumaya

Hi,
I already tried this option.
But the problem is not only for one single customer, but for several ones.
Which means that if I am going to use this solution I will have to
maintain the Bank details for all customers master data which is a long process.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Soumaya

Maintaining PPO settings conflicts with vendor creation

Hello,
I am facing a strange issue. We are working on ECC 6.0 and we have REFX implemented. Also we have followed the note 956054 and made all the configurations mentioned in it for customer-vendor-business partner integration.
Now, when one of my colleagues tried to create a vendor using the transaction code XK01, she could fill up all the fields successfully. But, when she clicked on the SAVE button the system generated a short dump.
Upon analyzing the short dump it was found that it was coming due to a setting mentioned in the Note 956054. Under point 1.2 of the note, the procedure for setting up the PPO is mentioned. And it has been found that the short dump is coming only because of this configuration of the PPO.
Can someone please throw some light on how to resolve this?
Regards,
Suvarghya Dutta

Hi,
if there are errors while update in the CVI there are two possibilities:
1. PPO is not activated
Then a short dump is raised and it is possible to navigate in the dump to the variables that contain
further information about the dump (that is described in note 956054)
2. PPO is activated
No dump occurs and you have to check transaction for post-processing regularly if there are entries in the log because of updates that were not successful.
In a productive environment it is not suggested to activate PPO because that may lead to data inconsistencies. PPO is only thought for better error handling.
I prefer method 1., because you know immediately that something is wrong, you get no data inconsistency and by navigating in the debugger it is easily possible to find out the reason.

You define the default settings for replicating equipment in the IMG activity: Customer Relationship

flexibly enhance the data transfer and validation in SAP CRM. The Add-In offers comprehensive options
for influencing the mapping between equipment and individual objects
Also refer to the following notes:
1. Note 627279 - Serial number & configuration download
