ERP-CRM-Integration based on business partner concept in ERP

Hi all,
can someone give me a hint if and how I can integrate the ERP business partner with CRM (we are using CRM7.0) business partner. Actually I have done ERP-CRM-Integration very often before but in former times clients were always using the customer and/or vendor master which was up and downloaded to CRM business partner. In my actual case the customer is using in ERP (ECC6.0 EHP4) also the business partner concept (groupings, roles, etc.). Since pide mapping is based on customer or vedor master (account groups, classification, etc.) and I do not find any documentation I am not sure if and how I can exchange BPs and if it is possible what I have to do for it.
Maybe I can use the object BUPA_MAIN, etc... but how is the logic, is it a prerequisite that groupings are identical, but what about number ranges, etc???
As you see I do not have a clou. Please advise.
Thanks a lot
Michael

Any inbuilt Function Module available in CRM to create a Business Partner

Hi All,
I need to create a business partner in CRM not manually through GUI. I need to develop a function module that will create a Business Partner in CRM.
Can some one tell me if there is an in-built BAPI/Function Module availabe in CRM to create a business partner in CRM.
When i researched i found that there is a BAPI BAPI_BUPA_FS_CREATE_FROM_DATA2 which can create a business partner in CRM.
I dont know how to use this BAPI, can some one help me with some sample code.
Also will the development of a function module differ in CRM when compared to ECC?

Hello,
Standard CRM PC UI application offers three options when you push 'New' button: 'Person', 'Organization' and 'Group' (combobox appears). In your case, 'Person' should be selected.
p.s. If you don't see combobox mentioned above, it could be security issue.

Viswa Guntha

Hi,
For creating a business partner, use the FM
BAPI_BUPA_CREATE_FROM_DATA.
For creating lead, opportunities and activities, use the FM CRM_ORDER_MAINTAIN. You need to handle the tables of this FM accordingly to create different kinds of orders.
You can do it so by handling the PROCESS_TYPE of CT_ORDERADM_H in the changing tables.

CRM Datasources for Activities & Business Partner Address

Hi Experts,
Can you please help in understanding following issue?-
For both these datasources-
1) 0CRM_SALES_ACT_1
2) 0BP_DEF_ADDRESS
I can see huge queue stacked up in CRM side in tcode SMQ1/RSA7.
But delta loads for these datasources bring exactly 1 millions records every day and this is happening since last month.
Even after delta load completes, I don't see corresponding decrease in delta queue entries.
-For second datasource delta queue entries are varying around 21+ million records
-For first one its varying from 5 million entries to 7 million entries
It started happening around the time when people from CRM team loaded data in huge amounts in CMR from other lagacy systems. Historical data loads & conversion in CRM is finished long time back but queues for some cases are still stuck at big numbers.
-->When I double click on queue, following is the status-
"NOSEND"
-->Further double click on it gives following two types of entries-
a) Transaction Recorded
b) Message Edited in Target System
Any helpful responses are welcome.
Thanks,
Arun Purohit

In R/3 you can check
WB2_PARTNER_ADDRESS_CREATE
also confirm in which system u need to create the business partner address.
Additionally you should also check out
BAPI_BUPA_ADDRESS_ADD
BAPI_BUPA_ADDRESS_CHANGE
BAPI_BUPA_ADDRESS_GETDETAIL
BAPI_BUPA_ADDRESS_GET_NUMBERS
BAPI_BUPA_ADDRESS_REMOVE
These may be helpful

Stationary Based on Business Partner Group

Dear Experts,
I'd like to print out AP invoice stationary done in crystal reports which are dependent on the business partner group. i.e. I have 2 stationerys with different layouts, i would like to print each based on the business partner group of the particular vendor.
Any one have any ideas on this ?

Hi,
Yes, Sachin is correct.
->> Open the A/P Invoice Document and Click the Print Layout Designer on Tool bar.
->> Choose the Require PLD and Click the Set as Default Button on Print Layout Designer Window.
->> Choose the Set as Default for Specified BP and
->> Click Add button on Business Parter Selection Window.

->> Update the setting and Run the Print Preview.

CRM - update conatct person/business partner

Hi,
I have the requierment that whenever a user saves something in BP transaction, we need to send this data to third party system through PI (XI) and update BP external number which comes back from that third party system.
I have registered a Function module 'ZCRM_EVENTFM_CONT' (with changing parameter of type BUS_EI_EXTERN_T) in transaction --> CRMC_BUT_CALL_FU. I am changing this internal table but the changes are not reflected in CRM.
When I use a BAPI to update the same field, it gives a dump saying that some nested commit statements.
Please suggest how to update the external number (BUTOOO-BPEXT)
Thanks & Regards,
Manish

Business Partner extract from R/3 (or SRM) to MDM without XI

Dear SAP Experts,
do you have any solution for extraction of Business Partner data from R/3 (or SRM) to MDM without XI? I know transaction mdmgx and the reference data went to the MDM well. How can I do the same for master data without XI? Please write me a step-by-step solution, if you can, because we haven't got too much time, to solve this issue.
Thanks a lot!
Best regards,
Ádá

Hi Adam,
there are different reasons for this:
1. MDMGX selects data directly from tables. Customizing tables are very simple tables, thus it was possible to implement a direct access. Master data itself is stored in distributed, multiple tables. It's not this easy to extract the data, thus MDM_CLNT_EXTR is using special extractors for the master data objects. Those object extractors are delivered by the object owners, not by the MDM group.
2. ALE IDoc and Proxy messages are the common way for data exchange between SAP systems. There are predefined IDoc and XML message types for master data. This was not the case for customizing data, so we decided to use FTP for MDMGX just as an exception.
3. The MDM data model for business partners has to combine different data models: R/3's customer and vendor with CRM's/SRM's business partner. Those models have to be combined to a general MDM Business Partner model. This requires a structural and value mapping of the different structures. Currently this is done on XI using a XSLT Message transformation.

Organization Assignement - Business Partner

Hello Experts,
I've downloaded org structure from ECC to CRM. When I go to BP to assign the Oranization I'm able to see only the sales Organizations which are downloaded from ECC. But not able to see the sales organization which are created in CRM.
Can any one please let me know what needs to be done to be able to see the sales organizations created in CRM.
Regards
Vinod

Hi Vinod,
I think buffering CRM sales areas might help you.
In CRM the sales areas are represented in the organizational model, this means they are not physically stored, but they are the result of the different combinations of sales organizations, sales offices, sales groups, channels and divisions maintained in the organizational model.
Whenever a CRM transaction or a business partner needs the sales areas, they are calculated, and this is an expensive process. To speed up this process, the sales areas are buffered.
Report HRBCI_ATTRIBUTES_BUFFER_UPDATE is used to buffer the attributes of organizational management objects. To enable buffering you have to maintain view T77OMATTR.
1. Go to Tcode : OOATTRCUST
2. Select the structure node Scenarios.
3. Flag the field in the column Buffering for the scenario SALE.
4. Choose Save (Ctrl+S).
Then run the report in Tcode: sa38
1. Tcode: sa38
2. Select the report HRBCI_ATTRIBUTES_BUFFER_UPDATE.
3. Flag the fields Delete All Buffers and Restructure Buffer on (Date).
4. Choose Execute (F8).
In Note 737315 further details regarding this topic are described. Note you can also schedule a job in transaction SM36 to run this report regularly.
Hope this helps!

Chethan

CRM based Business Partner Reporting for Retailers

Hello,
has anyone build a Business Partner Reporting based on CRM Data?
We want to report roles, relations, marketing etc.
What is the basic datamodel you use? Do you save Data in ODS using InfoSet or do you use InfoCubes or else?
At the moment we use ODS and InfoSet but we are facing timeouts and performance problems when there are too many business partners chosen.
Thanks in advance!
Angelika

Hi!
you have to use ODS objects for loading data into BW no alternative available.
I think you have to solve performance problems by fine tuning the system or by changing the datamodel.

Business Partner replication from ECC to CRM based on Company code

Hi:
I got this requirement where we need to transfer customers from ECC --> CRM. Customers specific to a company code.
Trying to maintain Filters for CUSTOMER_main--> KNB1- BUKRS to filter customers by a certain company code. I get this error " Table not maintained in smoftables."
Checked table " SMOFFILFLD" to see there are no entries for KNB1.
While I could check with my superiors on restricting transfer of customers based on Sales area data, as KNVV and KNVP data is maintained.
I would like to know if I can proceed with adding new table KNB1 to this table. If this is not recommended kindly suggest one.

The list of standard FM you can find in sap note: Note 875420 - Business partner transfer to SAP GTS: Exchange Infrast. (XI).
