Duplication checking

Hello gurus!
Is there anybody who used ADDRESS_SEARCH and ADDRESS_UPDATE badies for duplication checking?
Could you provide me with roadmap (code samples, descriptions) how to use them? My case: Business Partner duplication check by name and telephone number.
I have read next document, but unfortunately this field is still unclear for me.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm50/helpdata/en/a3/eaa43ab9db4814e10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
Thank you in advance!
Kirill

Hello Krill,
1)You are creating a BP,category Organization and saved it.
2)You have activated those BADI'S that you've mentioned(Address_search,Address_Update) what happens is the sytem will carry out a duplicate check based on certain threshold values that you have mentioned in the customizing.(a dialogue box pops up indicating all possible duplicates)
3)You can tell the system that the BP you are trying to create is not a duplicate,
its duplicate, or you can create a cleansing Case.
4)Using BUPA_CLEAR, you can manually search for duplicates, enter the weighing factor, select the process (Note you can manually do the cleansing process of Automatically.
5)Execute the BT and drag and drop the BP you want to cleance.
6)In the transction enter BUPA_CLEAR enter the cleansing case number.
7)Compare the BP for a node comparision.
8)Maintain the number range for Data Cleansing. in CA>SAP BP>Data Cleansing
9)enter the Numebr range object.
10)Define Priorities.
11)Activate Duplicate cleansing.
12)Remember we need to make settings in the BAS(Business Address Service)
which is integrated with the SAP Regional Structure, which has to be populated with data either manually(administration overhead is a constraint, or using a Program), Activate Duplicate check index pools.(SAP Web application server)
13)use Transaction SM30
14) display table /SMBCRM/TSAD10
15) this is where you find all the tables.
Finally If your BADIS(Address_Search and ADDRESS_UPDATE) will work accordingly and they only provide an interface for a third party application to come in to contact and do the actuall work. they are defenitely helpless without an external application. Check with SAP for the list of 3rd Party tool available.
Reward with points.

Invoices Duplication Check

Hello to you all,
In vendor master record you can flag the checkbox "Check Flag for Double Invoices or Credit Memos" this flag activate Invoices Duplication Check in Logistics documents and in FI documents separately,
Meaning I can enter the same invoice twice, As a Logistics document and by mistake as a FI document again.
Does anyone know how can I prevent it using standard customization?

Duplication check for Lead and Contact

Hi,
Can i confirm that, there is no duplication check for Lead and Contact during the new reacord adding?
I also realise that during the Lead convertion, CRMOD also never check for duplication even i have existing contact available?
Is there anyway for us to activate the duplication check during the Lead convertion?

SK,
System can check duplicate if you add external id for record (Lead and Contact).
For more information please refer topic 'About record duplicates and external ids' on page no.1303 of OnDemand help.

DRQ : Customer / Vendor ref. no. duplication check

Hi Expert,
At present Customer / Vendor ref. no. duplication check is perform on all documents (e.g. A/R Invoice / A/P Invoice)
Where as I believe it should be performed Customer / Vendor wise.
The reason is simple, say in a new year all customer / vendor will generate their respective A/R invoice OR A/P invoice starting from 1. So verifing it accross the documents seems sence less. If is verified that whether the same Customer / Vendor 's same document is entered earlier or not then it makes sence.

Order Duplication check

Hi Experts,
we have a requirement to have Order duplication check for all the Orders we recieve as IDoc(ORDERS05).
And when we get a duplicated order, we need to stop the process (sales order creation) and report the error.
Can you please suggest on how to acheive the above requirement.
Thanks,

Hi,
When u check and find out tht the given order being processed is a duplicate, then you can change the status of the IDOC to 51.. this will raise an error.. and the irder wil not be created in ur system.
Hope this helps.

Use of Mobile Number for Duplication check in CRM 7.0

Dear All,
We are using SAP CRM 7.0 (Marketing). While creating a Business Partner, currenlty we are able get a Warning message based on Address check via TREX 7.0. But we need to check for duplicate based on "Mobile / Phone Number".
Request you to share the approach for achieving this.
Thanks.
Raj

Hi,
As Den said you need to write your own code.
Please see the badi ADDRESS_SEARCH. This badi controls the duplicates search procedure .
You have to implement this badi in your own way to find out the duplicate checks.
Mobile number can not be brought in via BAS index fields.
So the importing parameters in this badi will bring in other address attributes but not mobile number.
So you have to find a provision to bring the mobile number of the bp inside the badi so that you can check on database with that value.
please see the thread [How BUPA_ADDR_CHECK triggered;. A way of bringing mobile number in, is mentioned in this thread.
Thanks,
Rajini

Duplication Check for P.O at Sales Order level

Dear Gurus,
As per my clients requirement we have configured the system to give an error message when an existing P.O number is entered in the Sales Order screen.It works fine.But we are having a problem that whenever we change anything in the Sales order it doesn't allow us to save our sales order for the second time and gives the error that 'P.O number exists'
Do anyone have solution for this?
Advance Thanks.
Regards,
Ravi

Hello,
Kindly seek the help of ABAPer in this case because during the saving of the Sales order the error related to Purchase order
number is thrown even though you are editing the PO field in the Sales order. One more check you should carry before saving
the sales order --> ensure that you have entered a new purchase order.

Or, if that price is too steep, you could try posting a better question. A copule of tips:
1) When you post code, please use [code] and [/code] tags as described in Formatting Help on the message entry page. It makes it much easier to read.
2) Post a more specific question. Don't just ask to have it done for you. Do what you can, and post a specific question when you get help.
3) When posting that question, be detailed about what behavior is desired vs. what is observed. Post any error messages. (Copy and paste the exact message--don't just say "It gave me a null error or something.")
4) Don't post that much code. Post a small example that demonstrates your problem. We should be able to copy and paste your code and see the same problem you're observing, and ideally the code should be at most a screenful or two.

Additional fields for bp duplication check

Hello,
I'm in a process of implementing ADDRESS_SEARCH BADI. Is there any way to bring additianal fields (phone number and date of birth) to the BADI interface?
Thanks

Hi Rahul,
Sure, this can be easily configured.
There is a BADI - ADDRESS_SEARCH which is used to implement duplicate checks on BP name + address. You can either write your own implementation or you can use the SAP provided implementation SIC_ADDRESS_SEARCH.
You should also be able to find the relevant documentation with the BADI itself in SE18. You would also need to do some minor customizing to choose which fields should be checked for duplicate values. You can find this customizing in the IMG customizing (transaction SPRO) (Just search for duplicate check and the search will find the relevant node in the customizing menu)
This should solve your problem.
Cheers,
Rishu.
