Does SRM support Vendor Partner Functionality from ECC?

Does SRM support or sync up with Vendor Partner functions in ECC such as OA, VN, PI, etc.?
Initial look at SRM does not suggest that SAP has made it easy to replicate partner functions in SRM.

  • Replication of partner function from ECC to CRM

    Hi experts,
    We are working on CRM 5.0 with back end ECC 6.0
    In our scenario we are creating sales orders in ECC and replicating it to CRM.
    Now the problem is we have a partner function created in ECC which is entered manually ( not through partner determination procedure) . We have also created the same partner function in CRM but we are not able to populate that partner function field automatically.
    Is there any way by which we can populate this ?

    hi
    just mainatining partner function wont be enough ,you need to do two things
    1. mapping of BP function between CRM and ECC
    2. specify the path from ECC to CRM so that they can be replicated successfully
    so,IMG: Customer Relationship Management -> Basic Functions -> Partner Processing -> Data Transfer -> Distribution of Partner Functions from SAP ECC into CRM
    this is the path where in distribution you need to specify the path
    and maintain there the mapping between the R3 and CRM
    RFC destination should be CRM and source is ECC

  • Problem in passing customer Partner Functions from ECC to CRM

    Hi to all, I am facing the following error in the crm system
    1.Partner 0000080059(DCEAB7AC31DA22F1B7CE001372368B21): the following errors occurred
    Message no. BUPA_MW_EXCHANGE010
    2.Status exists already for this business partner
    Message no. CRM_BUPA_FRG0050012
    3.Validation error occurred: Module CRM_BUPA_MAIN_VAL, BDoc type BUPA_MAIN.
    Message no. SMW3018
    My scenario in ECC is: I use a custom BTE copy of VMD_VENDOR_BTE_1421_IMPL which is executed when I save a new vendor. In this BTE I use the FM SD_CUSTOMER_MAINTAIN_ALL to create a customer with the same attributes as the vendor, because only customer informations (not vendor informations) pass as Business Partners in CRM. The problem is that when I pass only master datas to the FM SD_CUSTOMER_MAINTAIN_ALL, the customer passes to CRM as a Business Partner with the same number, but when I pass also Partner Functions to FM SD_CUSTOMER_MAINTAIN_ALL, no Business Partner is created in CRM, and the error I get is that up.
    What can I do?
    Thank you very much,
    Antonio

    Hola Antonio,
    I have a same problem.
    You can tell me the solution.
    Please.

  • Replicated vendor email address from ECC 5.0 to SRM 5.0

    Hi All
    Currently, we are trying to replicate vendor email address from ECC to SRM. We use Vendor Master – General – Email (SMTP_ADDR) to store different email address
    1. ) Case One
    - Vendor email address for vendor account receivable
    - Vendor email address for procurement
    - Vendor email address for return invoice
    Our system : SRM will only replicate defaulted vendor email address ( Standard Number )
    Question : Is it possible to replicate all email address ( the above 3 email address).
    2.) Case Two
    When we only one email address for vendor account receivable, we don’t want to replicate to SRM.
    Question: Is possible to block this vendor email address and do not replicate to SRM ?
    Thank You
    Alex

  • Partner (vendor no.) does not exist for partner function LF

    Hi Ankit,
       Please check the Partner Tab in Header and see whether partners have been determined for the PO. If that is not determined, then check the customization settings in NAST.
      You can also refer to SAP Notes 117537, 407600, 69492 and 459350.

  • Vendor partner function

    Hi,
    I have 2 questions:
    1. for the partner roles like goods supplier, invocing party, order party, etc do all these need to have different account groups , example one account group for goods supplier, one account group for invoicing party, etc , etc.
    or these can be accomodated in one account group. i have 2 types of vendors domestic and foreign. thinking of having 2 account group ZDOM and ZIMP.
    can i have partner function of domestic vendors in ZDOM and partner functions of foreign vendors in ZIMP.
    2. if we have a partner function of invocing party (IP), while doing MIRO automatically the vendor assigned to the IP partner roles get defaulted.
    how the system understands this? I want to know where this logic is there.
    Regards

    Hi,
    It seems you have not picked the question correctly.
    If i am using the same account group where the vendor schema is mandatory, it will be required to be put in IP also.
    you cannot do away with it. the parameter what are there in a particluar account group,  all always applicable to all the vendor created in that account group.
    your comments:
    u will assign a pricing procedure to the IP only in case u need a certain type of conditions which are not avilable in the standard pricing procedure ......................and which ever conditions are selected in the po then these are used in MIRO
    becaues in miro you will be verifying the invoice with refer. to some documents and system picks the conditions from po
    please give a relook into your answer.
    *my comments:
    vendor partner function is at Header level where as conditions can be at header and item levels.
    the conditions will be applicable of VN vendor. how can you have different conditions for main vendor and some different for partner vendor.
    if it is possible let me know how can I give value for the conditions maintained  for partner function.
    Regards

  • How to CIF vendor partner function

    Hi All,
    Can someone explain how to CIF the vendor partner function into SNC ? Does the standard Integration model work for it ?
    Regards
    Vivek Jaju

    Hi Vivek,
    In ECC we have CIFLOC01 (EXIT_SAPLCLOC_002) user exit for CIF location enhancement but i don't think so this will help you.
    Also there is no field in SNC location master that we can use to stored this partner function data in SNC(may Z-field can be created but it is not good)
    What is the requirement for which you need partner function information in SNC?

  • Replication of Partner Function from CRM 5 to ECC6 Issue

    Hi experts
    Is someone able to assist with pointing me in the correct direction to resolve a partner function replication issue please. We create all entities/BPs in CRM, and replicate them to ECC.
    We have a custom partner function, ZF, that is held against Payer and Sold-to in ECC. This is a separate entity in CRM, but is sent according to relationship assignment to ECC. We have noticed that this partner function is not being updated correctly.
    Scenarios:
    Ending a relationship between Account/Customer (Payer/sold-to in ECC) and the Farm (ZF partner function) - the ZF partner function is removed in ECC. This is correct behaviour.
    New Account or Customer creation in ECC with ZF relationship assigned, ZF partner function is being created in ECC. This is correct behaviour.
    HOWEVER, when adding a new ZF relationship in CRM to an existing Payer/Sold-to, the ZF partner function does not get created in ECC. This is incorrect behaviour - new valid relationship should trigger ZF partner function in ECC.
    Also, name changes to the ZF maintained in CRM, is not being updated in ECC for existing relationships. Instead, the Partner Function tab, ZF type, displays the old name for the Farm.
    BUPAREL bdocs are being created and sent to ECC, however something is happening on the receiver end. How do we trace this, and does anyone have any ideas on where to start to find out what is happening here?
    Many thanks
    Cara

    Solved, internal issue usage tab not being completed correctly so not assigning partner function

  • Vendor partner functions

    Hi SAP gurus,
    I have 3 scenarios of Vendor partner function.
    So please help me to configure this.
    In scenarios 1 & 2 procurement is made from overseas source and supplier, in scenario 1  source & suppliers are different; In scenario two source & supplier are same.  In scenario three material is procured locally with possibility of cash purchase or is done under barter  scheme.
    Waiting for reply.
    Points will be rewarded for helpful answer.
    Regards,
    Ravi.

    In scenario 1 source & suppliers are different
    How they are differnt if the ordering address is different then use "OA" partner function in the vendor master record
    If invoicing party is different then maintain "PI" partner function in the vendor master record.
    In scenario two source & supplier are same
    No need to maintain partner function.Since same vendor is playing all the roles.

  • Benefits of using vendor partner function

    Hello Experts:
    I understand the general use of vendor partner function. But what are the benefits of using vendor partner function? Is it for ease of reporting? Is there a functionality down the line that will not be possible if a vendor partner function is not used?
    The reasoning for this question is, I am at a client that has the general association of vendor and remit to addresses. However, they also have a scenario where they have one main vendor, but there are 30+ remit to addresses. These remit to addresses are dependent on the plant that placed the order. As an example, the vendor is AT&T, but the plant that uses the service in Caifornia sends the check to a remit to address in Calif. The plant in Arizona, sends their check to another AT&T remit to address in AZ.
    My current solution is, for the client to create the partner function that are more straight forward, one main vendor and one remit to address. As for the vendors that have multiple remit to addresses, i am opting out not to create the partner function. Which is why I am asking if there is an issue not using vendor partner function.
    Thanks in advance for your help!!

    It is certainly possible to work without partner functions in SAP.
    It is almost impossible  to work without partner functions in SAP if you do business with global players and need some comfort for your processes.
    It is impossible to work without partner functions if oyu have to do Intrastat reporting with SAP and your goods supplier is located in a different EU country than your vendor.
    In your special case with AT&T without partner functions, you would enter the invoice to your main vendor, the payment run then creates a cheque to your main vendor (and you then use Microsoft word to create a lable with the remit to address that you stick over the SAP printed address on the cheque ..... how does Finance department know that it has to create this lable?.....how will you be able to trace who got the cheque? ..........this is not a good practice)
    Especially in this case the partner funtions gives the real benefit.
    partner funtions are not for ease of reporting, as You cannot run analyses for any of the other partner roles supplied in the standard system.
    if you use invoicing party, then  the invoicing partyu2019s account will be charged instead of the vendoru2019s.

  • Configuration of Vendor Partner Function

    Dear All,
    Please provide the configuration steps for vendor partner functions.
    Regards,
    Venkat.

    Hi venkat
    Partner Function:
    In Purchasing, you have contact with various business partners (e.g. vendors or carriers).
    For each account group, you can define which roles the business partners may assume.
    Ex: You can specify that certain vendors may function as ordering addresses only - not as invoicing parties.
    You can use partner roles both within a corporate group and to define relationships between independent firms.
    Yes, when you assign partners for the main vendor. It will display all the partnering vendors for the Main vendor. Subsequently you will receive the invoices from the respective vendors.
    And for that you need to configure the partner determination
    in SPRO --> MM --> Purchasing -->
    --> Partner Roles
    Define partner roles
    Define permissible partner roles per account group
    --> Partner Settings in vendor master record
    Define partner schemas
    Assign partner schemas to account groups
    --> Partner Settings in Purchasing document
    Define partner schemas
    Assign partner schemas to document types
    Follow the steps to complete the partner determination configuration setup.
    And then create a vendor master record for the each account group (each vendor can have different vendor account group) and choose the respective partner account group and then create.
    And maintain, the partner vendors in the main vendor (which is created with account group : 0001, main vendor partner role is VN).
    and
    then you can see the partners in the Partner function in the Main Vendor Master record.
    Pls follow the steps accordingly, you will get it.
