Dealer Portal Vs DBM

Hi Gurus,
I would like to understand few things here.
There is this Dealer Portal which uses the services of VMS, Spare Parts Functions and WMS.
Now as I understand there is add-on called DBM. What are the differences we have incase DBM is activated.
Secondly, if we activate DBM, will it be like previous VMS, WMS settings are irrelevant or those are still useful.
Thanks for your replies and points will surely be rewarded.

As a dealer management system, this component supports the industry-specific sales and services processes of dealers and dealer organizations, as well as vehicle importers, authorized dealers, and OEM-dedicated vendors. This includes handling of new and used vehicles sales, vehicle service, and parts management.
The component is distinguished by its multi-brand capability as well as its ability to manage different locations. Customer-specific settings with regard to language and country, such as currency and taxes, for example, also mean that it can be deployed worldwide.
The component supports the integration of processes between the dealer and the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) within a vehicle order (vertical integration). Furthermore, it also supports horizontal integration between dealers. For example, members of dealer organizations can obtain an overview of the parts and vehicles in stock for the entire dealer organization.
As a dealer, you can manage an order from its creation, through its completion, and right down to its billing phase. Orders are controlled using an order engine that enables processes to be modeled flexibly. In this way, different requirements can be met that arise from the OEM or due to the size of a company. To ensure that country-dependent OEM requirements are met, SAP provides relevant techniques, for example, Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) and condition technique.
For reasons of simplicity, the term dealer is used in the following documentation; this term could, however, be referring to the vehicle dealer or dealer organizations, vehicle importers, franchised or authorized dealers, or OEM-dedicated vendors.
Integration
Dealer Business Management (IS-A-DBM) is fully integrated in the following SAP application components:
·        Materials Management (MM)
·        Sales and Distribution (SD)
·        Financial Accounting (FI)
·        Controlling (CO)
·        Logistics u2013 General (LO)
DBM uses the vehicle as a central object. You can save warranty claims directly in the order. For this, the component is integrated in Warranty Claim Processing .
The component offers the following functions:
·        Customer management
·        Processing of actions, for example, a mailing campaign
·        Processing of business activities, for example, a sales call, a letter, a telephone call
·        Crossmatching
·        Vehicle model management in the vehicle model master
·        Vehicle management in the vehicle master
·        Vehicle search
·        Material data management
·        Availability check for parts
·        Creation of DBM orders
·        Customer credit limit check
·        Pricing
·        Processing of confirmations
·        Handling of goods movements and invoice receipts
·        Billing
·        Order Splitting
·        Printing of documents
·        Cash desk functions for sales of parts
·        Creation of warranty claims
·        Status check for parts to be returned

    While there is no direct integration between the two, it is possible that you could write Oracle portlets that "wrap" the results of a Novell gadgets.

  • Dealer Portal - Vehicle Management System - Personalization - Web Dynpro component assignment for business partner is missing

    Hi,
    In the Dealer Portal, Vehicle Sales Role --> Personalization.
    I am getting below Warning message.
    The Web Dynpro component assignment for business partner is missing.
    As per my investigation found below.
    Since address formats are different for each country, you can define in the Customizing activity Assign Web Dynpro Components to Country-Specific Address Formats under SPRO --> Logistics Execution --> Dealer Portal which Web Dynpro component you want the system to use for displaying end customer addresses.
    BUT do NOT understand the name of WebDynpro Component to provide.
    What are the entries or WebDynpro component names to fill in below?

  • DBM deployment for dealership network

    Hello All,
    My Distributor has a huge Dealer Network. Some of the Dealers are owned by Dist. itself and some of them are independent entities. Distributor wants same solution should be deployed throughout the network (Single central instance of DBM catering all the dealers controlled by Dist.)
    Apart from the Sales & Services part, both - Owned & Independent Dealers have Workshops. Hence I dont think mere a Dealer Portal can suffice the needs of Independent dealers.
    Can you please share your views, how to map all these dealers in the system -
    a. As different company codes in a single instance
    b. As different customers in a single instance
    c. Any other viewpoint
    What are the pros & cons for each of these apporaches ? How it works as per industry standards ?
    Thanks a lot,
    Sumit

    Hi Sumit,
    The scenario is interesting and challenging as well. To map it properly I will prefer single instance else master data would be hell lot of job. Imagine 1 vehicle master and history to be replicated in each instance for dealers. Single instance will surely help in whole project life cycle and production environment as well. However to map as company code or customer one needs to consider Financial impact most importantly. It depends on Client/dealer relationship. Is it like Full Franchise or only on commission basis? Who owns the Inventory? How is the PnL, Balance Sheet will be designed? A lot depends on terms and conditions of engagement. Think of other points if you define as company. At times it can be defined as Plant (No value maintenance, Only Quantity). Mere customer/vendor relationship will give less flexibility.
    Thanks.

  • Portal user ID  read in abap webdynpro.

    Hi All,
    We have developed on web dynpro application for Dealer Portal. The Dealer logs into the portal with his ID. How can we capture this Portal User ID of the Dealer in our application.
    The Portal User ID and the R/3 User ID are different.
    I have followed the given steps...
    Step 1
    Within the Main Window of your ABAP Web Dynpro application, select Inbound Plugs tab. Now double click on the Startup Plug Named 'DEFAULT' (or what ever you have called it if you have changed this since window was created).
    Step 2
    Within the plug method HANDLEDEFAULT Add a new importing parameter below 'WDEVENT' parameter call it IV_USER of Type UNAME.
    Step 3
    Now within the code section of the plug method HANDLEDEFAULT you can freely assign the value of IV_User to an attribute of your component controller. i.e. wd_comp_controller->userid = IV_USER. Alternatively you could assign it to a wdp context node / attribute.
    Please note this value will not be available with the WDDOINIT of your main view as WDDOINIT method of this view is called before the window HANDLEDEFAULT method. Put your code into the method WDDOMODIFYVIEW of your main view instead.
    Step 4
    Double click on the webdynpro Application, within the Parameters tab add a new parameter. You should just be able to use the F4 help on the param column and select the IV_USER entry.
    Step 5
    Save your application nad activate your web dynpro
    With the 'Content Administration' tab of your portal
    Step 1
    Create an iview of type ABAP Web dynpro specifying the application name as that of your created wdp (must be exactly the same).
    Key information for creating iView:
    Create as iView template (select template as SAP Web Dynpro iView)
    namespace = sap (check service name in SICF if this is not correct)
    Application Name = ZWDA_EXAMPLE(name of your wdp created in se80)
    Application Parameters = IV_USER=
    Step 2
    Save and setup any other details required when creating any other iView
    but not able toget user id .

    Hi,
    Why don't you use the sy-uname to get the login details of user.
    Portal users are mapped to R/3 system, so using sy-uname will definitely give the user details.
    Function module to get employee details by passsing user name
      CALL FUNCTION 'HR_GET_EMPLOYEES_FROM_USER'
        EXPORTING
          user               =  sy-uname
          iv_with_authority = space
        TABLES
          ee_tab            = lt_ee_tab.
      IF lt_ee_tab[] IS NOT INITIAL.
    Passing employee number to export parameter
        READ TABLE lt_ee_tab INTO ls_ee_tab WITH KEY user = sy-uname.
        IF sy-subrc = 0.
          ev_pernr = ls_ee_tab-pernr.
        ELSE.
          ev_failed = gc_failed.
        ENDIF.
      ELSE.
        ev_failed = gc_failed.
      ENDIF.
    Does this help?

  • /SAPDII/DWB - Dealer Workbench

    Hi
    I’m interested to know whether anyone has made any changes to SAP’s standard BSP’s for the DWB.
    I would appreciate any pointers in doing this.
    Thanks
    Faaiez

    Hi Faaiez,
    You can check the online documentation for the dealer portal of which DWB is a subcomponent at :
    http://kwhelp.sap.com/SAPIKS/S0cfecba46cae4ce68ce31bb75ee4c46d/KW/IWB_STRUCTE8EFB83BEB837443E10000000A11402F/IWB_EXTHLP361B6D3E40753F7CE10000000A114084/?LANGUAGE=EN&RELEASE=50_2003_Q2&IWB_INDUSTRY=EP_CONTENT&IWB_COUNTRY=&TMP_IWB_TASK=DISPLAY
    In general though, enhancing the bsp application for dwb and other applications within the dealer portal is hassle free.
    1.Copy the application to your own namespace.This copies views, pages with flow logic and controller but points to the the original controller and application classes so the business logic is unchanged and untouched.
    2.After this you can make the changes you require to the ui.
    3.Naturally if you add new interface elements you will have to ensure that the do_handle_data and do_handle_event menthods of the controllers have the necessary code to receive data and handle events triggered by the new elements. But there are BADI's in place in the respective methods for this.
    4. Call the application with the new url in the main controller.You'll notice it contains the new application name in the url.
    Footnote:If creating new views in the SAP namespace is an option, its also possbile to replace one view in the application with another using transaction /SAPDII/T_CCOMPID and /SAPDII/T_CCOMPSET.
    There is a customizing cookook available which can be made avaiable to you on request. But I would recommend creating a low priority oss message for this on the component IS-A-DP-VMS so that its tracked and picked up by the original developer.
    Regards,

  • Saving a file pdf file and the file name appears on a PC with + signs in the name of the file - How do I eliminate the file name coming up with the + signs?

    A pdf file is created from a word document and then posted to our dealer portal.  It allows the dealer to open the pdf file and then either print and/or save off to a hard drive.  The issue is the file name has + signs in between all the words.  Is there a way to eliminate the file names coming up with the plus signs?  It is not being saved that way.  Any help you can provide would be appreciated.

    Use a proper file name for the WORD document. MS decided several years ago to allow spaces, but that is not standard and is likely what the issue is. A good alternative is to replace spaces in file names with underbars, "_".

  • Customer Report or Statement

    Hi All,
    My client have a cstom program for generating Customer payment due list (payments to customer list - displays credit balance). This list uses the tables or hits the following tables: KNA1, KNB1, KNKK, T042Z, BSID.
    Now my question, is there a standard report or statement which generates this information. Basically, it should give customer master data, credit master data and customer open items. (I think these info would hit the above tables).
    Please help me with this. Does SAP offer anything?
    regards,
    Satya

    Thank you everyone for all your responses. probably, I have deviated you all from my actual requirement.
    The client has a typical scenario. They generate payment due list of customers every week - open items due till that date of the week based on customer number, accounting clerk, credit control area and risk category. Once the list is generated, the accounting clerk analyzes the total amount of open items due (may be credit or debit balance) with the total obligation (amount due in next few weeks - may be credit or debit balance) and decides whether to pay or not to the customer. Usually, client ends up paying 3 in 4 times (these are for warranties and incentives).
    Client has custom program for these which i have to replace with standard SAP. I do not have to send this payment due list to customer nor the statements (the customer views the list from a dealer portal online). So, I do not see the need of using SAP scripts or smart forms.
    Can I still use correspondence types to generate payment due list with the use of SAP08 or SAP13 and standard program RFDOR...
    Are there any other options of generating this list? Please advice me and share your thoughts. This is very critical as I have to provide the solution in couple of days.
    I really appreciate evryone for your help.
    Regards,
    Satya
