Direct Posting to Contracts and Business roles in SRM

Hi guys,
We have SRM 7 and ECC 6.0.
Please consider the following business scenario:
Invoice creation in SRM against ERP contract that has been previously replicated to SRM;
No PO or GR involved in this process;
Possibility to have one contract to vendor A, and the corresponding invoices for different vendors.
Considering this we thought about the following solution:
Activate Direct Posting to Contracts functionality in ERP;
Contract, supplier and materials / services replication to SRM, through PI;
Allow different partners in the contract, using partner role “Invoicing party” (RS), so that it would be possible to post an invoice to vendor B, with reference to a contract with vendor A.
Questions:
Reporting – as far as I know it’s only possible to run analyses for vendors, which in our case would be vendor A, assigned to the contract.  However, we will need to have information about the invoices posted to the other business partners that are assigned to that contract. Do you have any idea if there is any standard approach for this?
Contract and business roles replication to SRM – does the contract and the assigned business roles could be replicated to SRM or is it required any specific customizing in SRM for this to be possible?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
AN

Hi,
For direct posting to G/L in  MIRO, follow the path:
SPRO > Materials Management > Logistics Invoice Verification > Incoming Invoice > Activate Direct Posting to G/L Accounts and Material Accounts > Here Activate "Dir.posting to G/L acct = active" and save.
MIRO - It will show additional Tab as "GL Account" along with "Reference"

  • Pfcg and business roles

    hi all,
    we have the requirement where we have to create 4 businessroles and out of 4 a manager  rolerequires authrization for all 4and customer rep requires authrization . for 3
    how to achieve that?
    i have crated 4 pfcg id s for 4 roles and assigned it to a business role(manager) which is copied from the standard.
    since manager requires 4 roles i  created 4 manager roles and assigned 4 pfcg ids
    is this the correct approach?
    please help out as i was new to crm 2007
    thanks
    madhuri

    The business role is user for customazion of web ui screens, while authorization roles are used for security reasons. So you need 4 business roles only if you need to maintan 4 different types of screens. If not, use just one.
    On the other hand I guess you need 4 authorization roles because you want to give 4 different types of authorizations to users.
    So, if you need just one type of screen, create one business role and assign it to users simply by using parameter CRM_UI_PROFILE. and authorization role assign via pfcg.
    But if you need 4 b roles and 4 a roles that are always in corelation 1:1 then you can do it also as you wrote.

  • Direct posting to contracts - any side effects?

    Hello all,
    Activating this funtionality will allow us to bill directly from contracts, however this functionality will just be helpfull in specific cases. In the major cases, the billing will be processed 'normally', with reference to PO.
    The question is, will what we considerer as normal billing process somehow be affected by the activation of this functionality?
    Thanks in advance,
    Greetings.

    Hi Hakiza
    I would recommend you to create a vendor/customer for the company which has bought your subsidiary and  instead of posting directly to the recon account , make posting to this vendor/customer,

  • Contracts and partner role

    Hi!
    We have created a contract. After that we have created a partner role (BA) for the creditor of this contract.
    The Problem is, the the patner role only with contracts, which are created after creating the partner role in the creditor master data.
    How does it work for the existing contracts?
    Thanks a lot!

    Hi,
    think we solved the problem. If we create a contract after defining the partner functions in vendor master, everythink works fine. But for the contracts, which are created bevor defining the partner functions in the vendor master, there ist a row missing in the Table EKPA. We have add this row an everything works fine.
    Maybe this is standard behavoiur or our customizing is not correct.
    Thanks!

  • Part 2: Flat files and Business Contents: Any issues with this scenario?

    I will appreciate some clarification on the some points made in response to my previous post "Flat files and Business Contents: Any issues with this scenario?"
    1.
    " ...you’d better analyze those cubes for data redundancy and presence of data you’ll never use. " I will appreciate some clarification on the type of analysis you are referring to. Examples will help.
    2.
    "If you want to combine several found IOs in your custom dataprovider, then again you must know (or figure out) relationships between these IOs." I will appreciate some clarification on the type of relationship you are referring to. Examples will help.
    3.
    I am a bit confused with "..include into ODS structure ALL fields required for the cube" but you also noted noted that "...except navigational attributes and chars and KFs that are going to be determined in TRs or URs."
    If you exclude ALL these, haven't you excluded all the fields you included in the ODS structure?
    4.
    "Consider carefully the ODS’ key fields selection. Their combination should not allow data aggregation that you don’t need."
    I may be missing the point here, I understand that you need to select the fields which will form the unique ID for the records in the ODS under the Key Field (please correct me if I am wrong with the purpose of the Key Field), but I don't understand the discussion of "aggregation" in the context.
    Thanks in advance

    Hallo
    I try to give some exaplanation based on the previous answer.
    1. Data redundancy - make sure you do not store the same information. does not make sense to have data redundanty across you Data Warehouse. this is also a cost. just sotre the same information one time if you get all what you need.
    2. whatwhever you build you dp, which consist of IO, you need to know with kind of relation (1:1 or 1:n - n:n and so on) exist between them. that will help you when you model you infoprovider. For example I would never pit togheter IO (n:m) in the same dimension if you expect an high number of cardinality. Sometime an IO can be an attribute of another one (depend on relation. For example
    Business Partner and his Address. Usually you have a relation 1:1, in this case address is an attribute of BParten and store it in the Masterdata instead then DP
    3. Sometime when you load from ODS to CUBE, you can fill some IO (which are in the infocube and not in the ODS)through ABAP routine in TR-Start Routine of Update Rule. Does not make sense to include these IO in the ODS as they are NULL or Blank (the deault value). This can happen when for example, you first load in the ODS (Price and Quantity) and then you calculate Sell price later (Price * Quantity). of course it could be doen also in the Bex. Depends on other factors (Performance - Loaidng -Sizing)
    4. Make sure that the KEY definition of ODS is accordingly to the data otherwise you will aggregate the data and later maybe if you need the detail you miss it.
    for example: customer - product - Distr Chan - Sell Price
    if each Customer can buy each product for any Distrution Channel, then when you build your ODS(Customer - Product and Distribution must be KEY) otherwise (if you have only Customer - Product KEY for example) you will lose the details for Distribution Channel.
    I hope eveyrhting is clear

  • Issue regarding Business Role assignment

    Hi All,
    1.
    I have a user Agent1 which is assigned to position POS_IC_AGENT in my org structure.
    In the infotype Business Role I have assigned IC_AGENT (standard) business role.
    IC_AGENT has PFCG role SAP_CRM_UIU_IC_AGENT assigned to it.
    But, when I run the application (for my user Agent1), only telephony buttons are visible on top, navigation bar and work area is empty (nothing is visible there)
    2.
    Now, when I open my user Agent1 in SU01 and assign PFCG role SAP_CRM_UIU_IC_AGENT.
    Now when I run the application everything is visible (telephony, navigation bar and workarea).
    Why is it not visible in first case?
    I think it should work without assigning Role in SU01.. I mean it should have taken settings from Org. structure
    Regards,
    Ashish

    Hi Ashish,
    As far as work center page context is concerned , its decided by the navigation bar profile and business role customizations ( we add work center home and several related stuff etc in navigation bar profile and make them activate/deactivate, visible/invisible through business role customizing ) .
    PFCG role has nothing to do with what you see on the Work Center...it decides whether you can see or not..meaning whether you have authorization for disply of a business object and its related subobjects.
    PFCG role basically determines the authorization objects that will be grated to the particular business role ( to which this PFCG role is linked ) PFCG is about CREATE/CHANGE/DELETE authorizations.
    In first case, its business role linked authorizations. You dont see the work centers may be because USER has not granted the DISPLAY authorization for the business Object related to BP( i.e Account ) , or BO related to account search (BUPASEARCH ) as the IC agent home basically has Account identification home , or account search home...which overrides the PFCG authorizations attached to the business role.
    Remember, individual object authorizations set for a user using transaction PFCG will have more priority over the Business role linked authorizations as 1 business role can be assigned to many users however if one user is not grated to see BP related data, this will still remain enforced even though the business Role PFCG is granting him to see...There is a difference between user specific authorizations and Business Role specific authorization...
    In second case,its user linked Authorizations. When you add the PFCG role in SU01, this is being the User Specific Authorizations which will always have the priority and thus granting the display.
    This is my basic understanding. I am 100% sure that PFCG role only controls the DISPLAY/CREATE/CHANGE related authorizations and lots more in context of authorizations. However what to include & show is decided by Navigation Profile and Business Role customizations.
    If everything is intact in navigation bar profile and business role customizations, and still you dont see anything on the work center, then i am 100% sure that its related to User Authorizations
    Refer pg 56 in CR580, it will clear your doubt.
    Thanks & regards,

  • Table that stores the business role and user id mapping

    Hi,
    i want to know the table that stores the Business role and the business role and user id mapping in CRM system.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Regards,
    Pricy

    Hi Mary,
    There is no direct table but there is a way to find it.
    HRP1263 is the table where business roles are stored when maintained at org level. These are stored against the Position.
    For getting user ID and position linkage refer table HRP1001.
    In HRP1001 table use below criteria to get the User and Position.
    OTYPE = CP
    SCLAS = US
    SOBID = User ID
    ENDDA = 31.12.9999
    Get the OBJID
    Query the HRP1001 table again with following
    OTYPE = CP
    OBJID = OBJID from above Query
    ENDDA = 31.12.9999
    SCLAS = S
    SOBID = Thats Position.
    Pass the position to HRP1263 as below.
    OTYPE = S
    OBJID = POSITION
    PROFILE - Thats business role assigned for the given position and user.
    Hope this is helpful.

  • Assignment pfcg-role to user and assignment pfcg-role to business role

    Hello, Gurus!
    What is the difference between direct assignment pfcg-role to user and assignment pfcg-role to business role? What is the effect from assignment pfcg-role to business role?
    As  I see authrizations from pfcg-role assigned to business role have no effect to user...
    Best regards,
    Artuк Litvinov.

    Artur,
    The business role assignment does not give a user that PFCG role.  Instead it is just a mapping table and does nothing more. 
    Therefore that UIU_COMP auth object must exist in the PFCG roles assigned to the user in order for them to use the webclient.  In your scenario let's do the following:
    You have pfcg roles:
    RA
    RB
    You a have business role
    B1
    You have users:
    Joe
    Jack
    Business Role B1 is assigned to role RA which contains UIU_COMP.
    User Joe gets business role B1 and roles RB which does not have UIU_COMP.  This will not let him use the webclient.
    User Jack gets business role B1 and pfcg role RA.  This will work because everything is there.
    This means you need both the correct PFCG plus business role setup to make it work properly.
    Take care,
    Stephen

  • Semantics and its' role in Business Services

    Role and importance of semantics in the context of services and SOA:
    Semantics refer to interpretation of information and not the literal definition of information/ data. Applying semantics to information turns it into “knowledge”. Semantics is the act of applying references and drawing conclusions given a set of more scientific informational constructs. Typically semantics are derived using the context in which information is presented. Transposition on the other hand allows applies the rule of inference where in one can draw conclusions on the implication of truth based on some set of facts.

  • Direct Posting of Sales in FI and month end closing

    Dear Experts
    I learnt that :
    Sales Direct Entries may be posted in FI without posting in SD/MM.
    Sales entries must always be posted only through SD process. If this is NOT done (for example freight rate received from third party freight forwarders), then only FI people should know how to reconcile and NOT sd people. Hence I recommend posting your query in FI forum after closing this thread.
    Regards,
    My question is , during month-end closing how should FI or accounting address the above direct posting issues?
    Apparently, such practice is not right.
    There is no trace of the sales in SD MM. There is no corresponding billing doc in SD MM but found in FI .
    How should this situation be handled as best practice?
    I am BI person but found this issue with FI data not reconciled with SD MM.
    I am not sure how the month-end closing was done when there is such data. Yes, the problem was found AFTER month was closed and I loaded the data to BI.
    best regards
    Pascal

    Dear Sirs
    What is the fastest easiest way to find out which FI direct entries were posted without corresponding Sales / Billing documents created ?
    Is there any standard report or reports available in oss?
    Currently, our other interfacing systems are having problem with data due to direct entries where there is no corresponding Sales / Billing docs posted. This is causing a lot of time investigating what entries caused the reconciliation problem.
    Your help would make my life easier.
    Thanks!

  • Business Role and PFCG Role

    Hi all,
        I am new to CRM 7.0 Can someone explain  What is a Business Role in CRM 7.0 and what is the relationship between Business role and PFCG role. What is the transaction Code to create a Business role.
       And also I heard that there is no PCUI in CRM 7.0. Is it true and if so what is used in place of the PCUI
    Thanks.
    Neha.

    Neha,
    Next time please do a search in this forum on business roles, and you would find many topics discussing this information more completely.  I'm locking this thread due to it fact that this question has been asked many times before by many different people.
    These threads explain the topic in more detail:

  • Business Explorer and Business Intelligence Roles

    Can someone answer the following questions about these 2 roles:
    Business Explorer
    pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/platform_add_ons/com.sap.ip.bi/Roles/com.sap.ip.bi.business_explorer_showcase
    Business Intelligence
    pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/platform_add_ons/com.sap.ip.bi/Roles/com.sap.ip.bi.bi_showcase
    It appears the BI Role above has the Business Planning feature, but Business Explorer does not.  Other than this, can someone explain the difference and why 2 seperate roles?
    Also, if we give users the Business Explorer role, we do not want them to see the Bex Broadcasting tab that comes by default.  Is the only way to avoid this is create a copy of this standard delivered ivew (contained in the Business Explorer Role) and remove this tab?
    Can anyone share thoughts or experience with these 2 different roles and modifying?
    Thanks,  Mark.

    Business Explorer role is from 3.5 and BI role is new in 04s.
    You will have to create the copy and remove the unwanted iViews from the new role.
    You can set permissions at iView level (permission to specfc users for broadcaster iView) but it will be hard maintaining it.

  • SAP Technical roles and IDM Business roles mapping

    Hi Guys
    Just wondering if there is an easy way to export SAP Positions and create them automatically as Business Roles in IDM and the SAP technical roles that are related to that corresponding position into privledges assigned to that Business Role. Or am I going about this the wrong way? What do you normally do in terms of getting all your sap technical roles from the sap system and assigning them to business roles in IDM. Any help on this is much appreciated?
    Cheers
    Leo

    Thanks Matt,
    I think get I the picture now
    One thing that I am still not sure about is how the sap abap technical roles or profiles are provisioned through workflow
    Here is what Ive done so far
    1. HCM data loaded into productive identity store via vds
    2. Did an initial load of the abap system into the productive identity store (now the technical roles and profiles are loaded as privileges in the idstore)
    3. Through workflow I select a user that already has an abap account and assign that user some additional sap technical roles, for e.g. sap_all and sap_new. The corresponding privileges for these roles are namely PRIV:PROFILE:ECX:SAP_ALL and PRIV:PROFILE:ECX:SAP_NEW .
    4. For the provisioning to occur so that these new privileges are reflected in the ABAP system for this user, I have used the setABAPRole&ProfileForUser task from sap provisioning framework folder and set it as the add/mod/del  event task for the MXREF_MX_PRIVILEGE attribute. That way whenever a privilege is added to a user account the setABAPRole&ProfileForUser task will run and the sap_all and sap_new profiles will be added in the backend. This way I can avoid setting a provisioning task for each abap privilege that gets loaded.
    But it should be obvious now that there is a flaw with this kind of setup, because all non abap privileges that get added or removed will trigger the setABAPRole&ProfileForUser task anyway because the privileges use the same attribute i.e.MXREF_MX_PRIVILEGE. So it brings me to the question how do you provision abap technical roles or profiles through workflow without setting a provisioning task for each abap related privilege.
    Thanks again for all your help!
    Leo
