Including Contact person detials in MDG 6.1 - Customer

Hello All,
While Creating MDG - Customer, I need to include Contact person information. I can see Contact Person tab in Customer FPM screen(Organisation type) but not able to relate to Business Partner ID.
My specific questions are
1. How to create BP/Customer with Contact Person?
2. Do we need to create Contact Person first and then relate to BP/Customer? If so, how i can i co-relate that ealier created Contact person with my current CR, which is being created for Customer.
3. I need to create Customer that includes Contact person details under same CR.
Please suggest me how to go forward?

Looks like the Contact Person needs to be created in role BUP001 as a Business Partner first.
Then after activating the Contacts functionality you will have the following subscreen in the UI:
Clicking on the New button will allow you to select the Contact Person from the Busines Partners table and also to specify data you need like address, function, etc. See below:
Hope that helps you get the idea on how it works...
Perhaps someone who played more with it would be able to contribute here , it's an interesting topic.
Regards,
Boris

How to restrict/block replication of contact person? SAP CRM 7.0 ehp 2

Hello fellow crm consultants,
I am looking for a (hopefully) standard solution to restrict the replication of contact persons (CP) from crm to ecc back and forth while they are related/linked to a customer.
In this current scenario we create a new customer on the CRM side and immediately link new or existing contact persons to this customer before saving the new entity. Upon save the data is being replicated and creates the same in ECC. However there is not CP replication been setup between CRM/ECC meaning that normally no contact person information is being replicated or synced between these systems. But only when the customer is being replicated including contact person(s) this is information coming through anyways. I want to completely block the CP information and only replicate the customer information.
Is above possible in SAP CRM 7.0 ehp 2 and how through customization?
Thanks in advance.. points will be rewarded.

Rogier

Hi,
If you want to replicate only customers from CRM to ECC, you can set a filter in the subscription on IS_CUSTOMER = "X" for example. That will stop replication of contact persons, organization units, employees, etc.
See following oss note: 1834681 - How to set filter for BP upload from CRM to ECC
But for something more complex, you might need to implement a function module and add it to table CRMC_BUT_CALL_FU. Kindly check following oss note for an example:
638628 - No contact person upload into R/3: Example for exit users

CRM 7.0 Contact person in order not replicated to R/3

Hello all,
I am currently facing issue with contact persons in CRM orders. There are several partners in the CRM order. Standard ones like ship-to party is replicated to R/3; employee roles are also replicated into R/3 within an order; contact persons (no matter if standard or Z) are not replicated from CRM order to R/3. There is neither no error message in BDOC nor in order.
Partners are set correctly for mapping between R/3 and CRM (including Z partners) -
tables CRMPARNR (R/3) and table CRMM_BUT_CONTNO (CRM) checked; GUIDs are there
Users do change these contact persons manually sometimes.
If order changed in ERP - including contact persons adding/changing - all partner roles are transfered to CRM for an order correctly.
Any ideas??
Thanks for your help
Radim

Hello,
there is an important GUID that need to be determine, the contact persons in my case need to selected via partner determination otherwise the partner gets deleted in R/3. The determination is creating the relation to the partner which is transfered to R/3 and can be checked in the BDoc. This has solved the issue

"TO" field in outgoing mail and choosing contact persons

Hi,
We are implementing the IC in the CRM version 6.
When the agent is preparing the outgoing mail the only mail that arrives to the "TO" field is the mail from the customer.
Now if the agent wants to add some more contact persons to the "TO" field the system is showing all the contacts there is.
Why the system is not showing only the mails that are relevant to the identified customer.
The agent (customer) wants to be able to send a mail to all the contact
persons in relation with the identified customer in an easy way.
Does any one know how to deal with this issue ?
Thanks in advance,
Eran Shapira.

How to create contact person with BAPI_ADDRCONTPART_SAVEREPLICA

Dears,
 when using BAPI BAPI_ADDRCONTPART_SAVEREPLICA to create contact person,it exports the PERSON_NUMBER and ADDRESS_NUMBER, but no record found in table KNVK for customer or vendor .
 The parameters is as below,
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_ADDRCONTPART_SAVEREPLICA'
 EXPORTING
 obj_type_p = 'BUS1006001'
 obj_id_p = <personal number>
 obj_type_c = 'KNA1'
 obj_id_c = <customer>
 obj_id_ext = SPACE
 context = '0005'
also no return message and sy-subrc =0.
what maybe the error? and any other method to create contact person ?
Ths .

DEAR,
 after test by my colleague, after creating contact person by BAPI_ADDRCONTPART_SAVEREPLICA , then he should input the parter and name into BI structure bknvk when he use bi fm to create customer, then the contact person will be associated with the customer.
 But i use BI fm 'VENDOR_BDCDATA' to create vendor, there is no such structure to do so. so no contact person associated with the vendor, but the contact person has been created and just not associated with this vendor in table KNVK.
 are there any other methods to do such things to associate contact person with my vendor after call BI FM 'VENDOR_BDCDATA' ?

How do replicate the contact person to ERP partner fuction from CRM

All experts,
I already replicated contact person from CRM to ERP,but the contact person just appeared in tab contact person in ERP customer general data.
Actually,when i created contact person relationship in CRM,i could assgin contact person to a salse area,so I want to replicate contact person to tab partner fuction in customer sales area data in ERP. pls give me a light. thks
Raymond J

Hi Raymond,
I believe the contact person in question is assigned only as a partner function in R/3. Therefore you will only see the usage of that BP as a partner function, but not the relationship specific data.
You will need to create a contact person relationship for the BP.
So the relationship specific data will not be visible for a contact person in R/3 which is only assigned as a Partner Function in R/3.
Can you please check this on your system?
I hope this helps.
Best regards,
Ita

Error R1201 "Business partner ### does not exist" with new contact person

Hi,
We have configured CVI masterdata synchronization for Customer<->BP and this is working well for customer masters without contact persons.
However, when we try to add a contact person to an existing customer (or synchronize an existing Customer with contact persons) we get the error message R1201 "Business partner ### does not exist".
I have checked the wiki.
We are able to manually create a Person with role BUP001 (Contact Person) and link it to the BP with relationship cat TBUR001 (Is Contact Person For). Here the synchronization BP->Customer seems to be working, as the new contact person is successfully created in the Customer.
Any ideas why we cannot synchronize Contact Persons, Customer->BP?
Thanks in advance,

Deactivate replication of contact persons from R/3 to CRM

Hi,
i'm replicating customer relationships from ECC6 to CRM2007. All fine, including z-partner functions etc.
One thing Im baffled by however is the replication of contact persons. Contact persons will be created in CRM only, without any integration/replication with ECC6. Since there are existing contact persons in the ECC6 master, I want to deactivate that replication.
So I hae deleted the mapping for master data transfer in CRM in the IMG under Basic Functions => Partner Processing => Data Transfer => Distribution of Partner Functions from SAP ECC into CRM
and Distribution of Partner Functions from CRM into SAP ECC.
But if I create a contact person in ECC6, it STILL replicates through to CRM!! Any ideas how to de-activate that replication? I don't want to end up with failed BDOCs in the middleware if posible.
regards
Jens

Hi Srikanth,
thanks a lot for your reply. However the approach needs to be a bit more sophisitcated than that. I do replicate through a number of r?3 partner functions into relationships in CRM, e.g. ship-to and 3 z-functions (promary CSR etc.). That all works fine and needs to stay that way.
However I do need to deactivate the replication of the R/3 contact persons to CRM.

Sending marketing campaigns to contact persons - How?

Hey guys,
what I want to do is to use the functionality in the web ui, where you can build out of your target group (which includes organizational accounts) another target group (which includes the contact persons of the organizational accounts of the first target group). I think I almost figured it out, with the help of you, how this can achieved but please send me a reply to verify or correct my assumptions about the process.
1. In case I want to search for attributes of contact persons (who belong to an organization) I have to set up the following:
I used the standard infoset "CRM_MKTTG_BP_ORG" (BP: Contact persons relations of organization), created a Data source of this. I created an attribute list of this data source and I created the filter for the fields "BP category" (as value = organization) and filter "BP relationship category" ( as value = has contact person ).
SAP told me to create those two filters. I do not really get here why I have to set those two filters. I got the same results by using the combination 'has contact person AND organization AND filter X' or 'has contact person AND filter X' or 'organization AND filter X'. Please explain to me the differences!. Please explain to me the differences!!!!
My result is that I get all contact persons with this attribute I was searching for right? So am I right, that this option helps me to find all contact persons who belong to a certain attributes but NOT filters all organizations with a certain attribute and then gives me the associated list with contact persons for it?
2. In case I want to search for attributes attached to organizations and then to give me a list with the contact persons of those organizations I have to set up the following:
a) For an Attribute Set
If I want to use attribute set of an organization, for my data source, I should use
Segmentation object - business partner
Origin type - attribute set
Attribute set - Your custom attribute set for Org
Function module - CRM_MKTTG_PF_BP_TAB_TO_CP
Create an attribute list based on the data source created. This will also give the list of contact persons for organizations, as a result of segmentation process.
b) For an Info Set
If I want to use an Info Set instead of an Attribute Set I have to do almost the same
Segmentation object - business partner
Origin type u2013 Info Set
Attribute set u2013 Info Set X
Function module - CRM_MKTTG_PF_BP_TAB_TO_CP
Create an attribute list based on the data source created. This will also give the list of contact persons for organizations, as a result of segmentation process.
Did I understand the process correct?? Please correct me when I got anything wrong, especially with the filters and the AND combination of the first option.
3. I heard something as well about a segmentation basis. *How would I do the segmentation based on the segmentation basis?* Would I need t choose valid for Segment Member Relationships? What does this mean and how exactly would I need to build my segmentation basis? What result would I get?
I created two segmentation basis, one which only includes organizations and one which only includes persons. So in case I would choose "valid for Segment Member Relationships" and not "segmentation members" I would additionally to, lets say all organizations, get contacts which have the attributes of the profil I want to create?
But I cannot use "valid for Segment Member Relationships" if I want to have ONLY the contacts of organizations and persons right? It is nothing similar as the option with including the function module in the attribute set or info set and then I get the contacts based on a target group of organizations right?
Thanks for your help.

Janine

Creation of Contact Person for a vendor in SUS, MM SUS scenario

Hi All,
We are working on EBP for bidding with SRM 5.0 and ECC6.0 as the backend. When we do BBPGETVD for the vendor root we have to create a contact person for the vendor to logon.
Our clients requirement is that all the data in the R/3 has to come to EBP including the telephone number and email addresses so that the vendor number should be created as the contact persons userid.
Is there any way to achieve this?
Best regards,
Sridhar.

Hi,
Also you dont need to enter any roles while creating the Contact person for a vendor.You just need to enter the employee/user details who will be the contact person for the vendor and after you save all the data ,the CP for the vendor will be created and the system will issue a message "Contact person XXXX for BP yyyyy created".

Contact person of vendors created inconsistently in my organizative structu

Hi,
1.When I create a new contact person for one vendor, is created without position. The vendor is correctly created in vendors organizative structure and the contact person is pointed out there but in organizative structure the user hasn't got position.
2. In order to do a goods receipt the vendor user can't view their purchase order .
Regards
Jorge

Hi Atul
please you can see my response in bold letter
Contact persons for external partners (Vendors/bidders) are to be created from the web interface.
DO NOT USE BP transaction to maintain BUPA & org data !!!
Use web transactions instead. They are handling all the needed objects, and you can not do the same with BP.
In web transation "Maintain Business Partner", you can add contact for an existing vendor.
You can add a contact to a vendor, with or without creating a user ID (you can then create it later when needed).
I'm using BBPMAININT web service. Create employee for Business partner and I'm including the SAP user data.
Please see the related links, which will definitely help ->
Re: How to assign contact person user id to Vendor uploaded from ECC?
UNASSIGNMENT OF VENDOR CONTACT PERSON
Re: User Assignment to Vendor
I have seen the threads but I can't see nothing which resolve my problem
For displaying the POs of all the users, assign the standard SAP roles to the vendor user
Menu entry is 'Manage Buisiness Partners' (BBPMAININT) and is included in roles SAP_BBP_STAL_ADMINISTRATOR and SAP_BBP_STAL_PURCHASER, SAP_BBP_STAL_PURCHASE_MANAGER, SAP_BBP_STAL_OPERAT_PURCHASER, SAP_BBP_STAL_STRAT_PURCHASER.
In my case I am using a SAP_BBP_STAL_ADMINISTRATOR
So, I can create my SRM user with BBPMAININT, but my central person appears without description (with business partner) and there is no position connected to my new user. I suppose I don't need to create the position manually, is this correct?

Interfacing vendor contact person information

Hi All,
Scenario:
We are implementing and MDM solution to keep a central vendor repository, which will be the source for multiple backend ECC systems. We use SAP PI as middleware and try to stay as much as possible with the standard SAP IDoc formats.
Problem:
Unlike for customer MD SAP doesn't seem to support the interfacing of contact person details via ALE for vendors (or I haven't found it yet, if it is there, please let me know, it would be great news ). For debmas you have an E1KNVKM segment included in the debmas IDocs and I assume that there will also be ADR3MAS messages to provide the address details.
I believe that we'll have to go for customizing to get the same for the vendors but was hoping that someone has already gone through this effort and can share some best practices? Especially when it comes to configuring the system to make sure that the contact persons will be linked correctly to the vendors taking the CAM into account. (How to configure TSADOBJ and so on...)
Thank in advance!
Lee

Hi,
Take out the list of fields for vendor contact information in the respective table and try to include them in your custom segment in your message type and try to populate the data in that and sent it through the IDOC.
if the same information can be handled at inbound system then you can capture the same.
