Keeping Business Partner numbering same in ECC and GTS

Hi Experts,
Does anyone have experience on projects/clients where the Numbering for Customers/vendor in ECC and the related Business Partner in GTS is same?
For an example: Customer# 12345, BP#12345 in ECC.
In GTS: BP# 12345.
We are planning to use MDG system for Master data distribution across systems. I believed it is possible to keep the Numbering same just like we do in SRM.
But on checking further in detail, I feel it is not possible in standard. Can someone provide their inputs on if this can be achieved with standard setup.
On checking the code in GTS, I can see Number range group in GTS is determined in FM BUP_CHECK_GROUPING. This FM uses Internal numbering always when there is no BP# is sent from ECC for the Customer/Vendor#. Only if the BP# is sent, system will look for external number range.
In ECC, the standard code is always keeping BP# and Numbering grouping as blank/space in FM /SAPSLL/DEBMAS_1006_MAP_R3. Which means standard SAP doesn't allow keeping BP Numbers sync'd in ECC and GTS.
So, I am not sure if this is possible with standard setup. Can someone confirm please?
If not possible, I will look for enhancements.
Thanks in advance!!!

Hi Dhilipan,
I briefly checked the program code.  In the API1006_HEAD structure, field BPARTNER is transferred to GTS with value <SPACE> (hard-coded in Function Module /SAPSLL/DEBMAS_1006_MAP_R3), and I think that might be the field you'd need to use.
From what I can see, that field is used as the Partner Number in GTS if it is filled; otherwise field EXTERN_NO is used.  So it would be worth a try (in debug) to fill the BPARTNER field (max. 10 characters) and see what happens.
I'm not sure how the Number Range is assigned - it could involve some "profiles", or perhaps be a nice surprise.  I'm sure you'll have fun in finding out: do please let us know.
Regards,
Dave

  • Missing Business Partner Numbers

    Dear all,
    we are facing situation, that within 7.0 in Trx PPOMA_BBP, business partner numbers are not created for Organizational Units when created manually. The assignement of Business Partner numbers works e.g. replicating plants.
    Is this a known bug? Any insight?
    Cheers,
    Claudia

    Hi
    Are address data are filled correctly country region code/ phone no. mail id in the org structure. specific format postal code phone no too.
    even system validating all address/ phone fields/mail address.
    if everything is ok. check no range for bp internal and manually create some bp via manabe bp via bp.
    then we can narrow down where the exact problem.

  • ECC and GTS integration

    Gurus
    If using ECC and GTS, what is ususally done with the "Foreign Trade" fields in the ECC?  Apparenlty these do not transfer to GTS.  This may be confusing to the user to present fields that do nothing.  What is the best practice for addressing the Foreign Trade tab in ECC?
    Thank you!

    Hello,
    I am assuming you are talking about the fields that are found in the Delivery documents in the Foreign Trade / Customs Tab.
    Actually, these fields are still used. Some of them are transferred to GTS and some do not need to, but are used for Intrastat Reporting. The fields taht are transferred to GTS are the following
    In headder its the ones under Handling & Geography. At item Level its the ones in Origin/Destination/Business.

  • Business Partner Syncroniation between RE-FX and AR

    Hello,
    I am in the process of migrating a customer's system from classic real estate to RE-FX using the migration tool REMICL.
    Currently the customer adopts the process whereby business partners are manually created from customer records via the partners tab of the classic real estate lease-out contract.  If any changes are made to the BP name or address, these are NOT transferred across to the corresponding customer record - even though the two records are linked.
    Having carried out a test migration, the new RE-FX system is now working slightly differently, in that any changes to the business partner address are immediately transferred to the customer record and vice versa.  Although I can understand why this is best practice, as the data is kept consistent, unfortunately this is a scenario the customer wishes to avoid!
    Is there anyway of amending the syncroniation settings so that while the two records can be linked - any name or address amendments made to each one do not get copied over to the other? 
    One other option I thought may be worth further analysis would be to only maintain syncroniation between the customer and the general role of the BP, and then to somehow keep the tenant role separate from the syncronisation - so only updates made to the general role would feed back to the customer, whilst updates to the tenant role did not.  I am guessing this would not be possible though...
    I look forward to your responses,
    Oliver

    hi
    to astablish the relationship between the product and business partner,first of all u should know that products are assigned according to thye category
    mapping of the category to the product is made then the products are identified according to the product id.
    now Bp are assigned to the org unit ,so under org unit maintain the org data like
    sales org,sales unit and sales group
    in those u will maintain the product master i.e. the categories along with the products
    this way the product get related with the business partners
    best regards

  • Problems creating business partner (transaction BP in ECC 5.0)

    Hello,
    I am trying to create a business partner in order to assign it to BP role employee (BUP003). I enter transaction BP, and then try to create user.
    Whenever I try to create a user the error message: <b>No internal standard grouping exists  Message no. R1117</b>
    Any clues on what this means, and how the issue can be solved. Will reward points for good answers.
    regards,
    Joe

    Take a look at view V_TB001. One of the groupings for BP numbering has to be flagged as Internal standard grouping. If there is no group flagged as internal standard, most likely you don't have any internal groupings at all and you will have to create one.

  • Relink CRM Business partner with customer in ECC

    Hi all,
    In our organization, most business partner master data is automatically replicated with ECC.
    Table BUT0ID contains the link between a BP and customer on ECC.
    For some reason it happens regularly that a CRM BP gets a wrong link.
    I.e. BP 80001234 is by accedent linked to 80001000, but it should be 80001234.
    I'm asked to provide a solution to change this link.
    With BAPI's 'BAPI_IDENTIFICATION_DELETE', 'BAPI_IDENTIFICATION_CHANGE' and/or 'BAPI_IDENTIFICATION_REMOVE' it's easy to modify table BUT0ID properly.
    But whatever I change, the replication is still carried out on the wrong customer.
    Afters hours of debugging and tracing I couldn't find the reason. Is there perhaps an other table to change?
    Did any of you have the 'golden tip' for me to fully Relink?
    Thanks a lot in advance,
    Sijmen

    Hi Sijmen,
    Try FM  bupa_identification_change. Ii think that will work for you.
    Thanks,

  • Blackberry 8520 keeps repeatedly downloading the same email messages and facebook notifications

    My Blackberry 8520 has all of a sudden started downloading the same email addresses and facebook notifications, that I have already read, I tried deleting them totally and also deleted from my computer inbox, but it just downloaded the next lot in my inbox repeatedly instead.  Sometimes it says I have 50 unread messages, which is the same 7 or 8 messages over and over again, showing as unread. 
    I have rebooted device several times and don't know what else to do now, can anyone help please?
    Thanks very much

    Hi and welcome to the forums!
    Have you changed the settings for messages on your account on the providers website?
    (Gmail, Yahoo, etc.)
    If that's not it try the following:
    Go to options advanced options, Host Routing Tables, click to enter. DO NOT click on any listing.
    Press menu key, and select register now.
    You will get a verification message. Then go to email settings and send service books.
    I would suggest  logging into the carriers BIS site via PC if you can.
    You will get an email per account. Repeat the battery pull and see if the problem is
    resolved.
    Let us know how it goes!

  • Synching configuration between ECC and GTS

    Is there any way we can automatically synch configuration (e.g.countries, regions) from ECC to GTS?
    Thanks in advance.

    Transaction SCU0 lets you compare configuration between systems, based on a number of ways of selecting the items to compare.
    I am not sure if it offers any way to build a transport of the differences, or remotely update the target system.  At least it lets you know what is different.

  • Business Partner ID same as SAP User ID

    Hi All,
    We have one SAP Service Desk Implementation going on.
    There is an intresting requirement as follows:
    1) BP ID generated should be same as their respective SAP User ID, irrespective of the BP Role.
    2) First Run for Mass Generation has to be done and that should take care of point 1.
    3) Business Partners should be automatically created by system whenever a new SAP User ID is created in system landscape.
    I know that if i use external number range, this can be done. Moreover there is one standard BP Mass Creation program also. But challenge is to find setting which makes this BP ID generated same as SAP User ID.
    In past, I have manually created external BPs like this because volume was very low in those projects... but now we have more than 1000+ users whose will be associated with service desk.
    Please advice.
    Regards,
    SM

    Hi,
    there is a technical problem with your request:
    BP numbers are limited to 10 characters but user IDs can have up to 12 characters.
    So you will not be able to set BP number = user ID if you have user IDs with more than 10 characters.
    Regards,

  • Business Partner numbers not generating in sequence

    Hello,
    For Business Partners, there are 2 Groupings maintained i.e. 1 for External Party and 1 for Employees. For both the groupings, internal number assignment has been maintained in T code BUCF. Also, "Define Groupings and Assign Number Ranges" has been assigned the relevant Group with the Number Range and the radio button for "Int.Std.Grping" is NOT checked.
    The issue faced is that while creating Business Partners, the BP numbers are not generated sequentially, For e.g if First BP number is 30000000, 30000001, then the next number generated is 30000010, 30000020, 30000021, 30000030..
    Not really sure why this would happen. There are no separate customer created in these account groups directly in FI.
    Also, when my Last BP number is 30000030 in T code BP  (SEARCH - BP - NUMBER), my Number range shows 30000039 as the "Current Number"
    Request your suggestions.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    Please go to TCode SNRO and check if the buffering is active for object BU_PARTNER.
    If yes, you should disable it to have a sequential numbering.
    Go to Edit menu - set up buffering - no buffering

  • Replication of Business partner from CRM to ECC.

    Hi experts,
    We are working on CRM 5.0 with backend ECC 6.0.
    We are facing a problem while replicating BPs from CRM to ECC. Eventhough we are maintaining language code in CRM, the same thing is not replicating to ECC.
    Can anybody help us how to solve this problem.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Madhu.

    we have this issue on CRM006 consumers created as an org.
    SAP gave us function module
    'BUPA_OUTBOUND_BPS_FILL_CENTRAL' to fill the langauge in CRM 5.0 or BUPA_GENERAL_UPDATE .
    We have not implemented either yet.  in r/3 46C we have a small core mode in LVV02F3H to force EN as language.

  • Skype keeps giving me the same error over and over...

    Good day everyone!
    So I ran into this problem like a few months ago, and it is giving me the worse headache ever...
    See... Everytime I log into Skype, it works fine for the first few times. After a couple of times that my skype has been restarted (When I go to work and have to shutdown my laptop) it logs in but doesn't send any messages and when I call someone it gets stuck (I can still press buttons but they don't give any actions) on the video call screen...
    There is nothing I can do but kill the process, else this window of skype is in my screen the whole time.
    When I (try) to login back into Skype, it says that my Skype has been already logged in...
    I check my task manager and it says Skype.exe and when I try to kill the process it doesn't do anything...
    This is really getting on my nerves... 
    What I do to fix this?
    I press the Windows key and R for Run, in the box I type in %appdata% and delete the whole skype folder in there...
    It works, for the first couple of starts...
    After 1 restart or 2, it does the same thing again...
    Please help me since this is really getting on my nerves...
    With kind regards,

    I've personally never run into this problem myself.  The only time I've known it to occur on a continual basis is due to some 3rd party software.  Sometimes triggered by normal operations, other times triggered by sleep modes. 
    The error occurs when Skype is restricted from updating it's logs and associated files when running.  Something on your machine is more than likely interfering with Skype and disallowing it to write to your hard drive or temp files which it needs to do in order to function correctly and shutdown properly.  This may be due to an AntiVirus/AntiMalware/Security software package or your computer's inability to awake properly from a sleep state.  I would make sure that Skype is in the exception list of any type of Security software you are running.  It would also be wise to limit the applications you automatically run on startup as one of them could be the culprit as well.  You could also temporarily disable or modify your sleep settings on your computer to see if that's what triggers it.
    It gives the same error in safe mode...
    When I see the error, I am no longer able to write or delete any files in the %appdata%\Skype folder...
    I've checked it and its because Skype is still running but doesn't respond to "Kill Task"

  • Have to keep re-adding the same contact again and ...

    Hi. 
    I use Skype regularly for chat from desktop application (version 6.16.60.105) on Windows 7. 
    With one of my contacts though, it appears that we "lose" each other after each conversation. 
    In other words, her icon appears as a grey, crossed out sign, so I need to keep sending requests to add her as a contact. 
    Neither of us can understand why this is happening, and it seems to be only with one contact. Is there a known issue here? 
    Thanks

    please help let me know when it is solved.

  • Business partner Initial Download

    Here is description of Business Partner setup:
    CRM - Account groups - Prospective - Soldto
                                            Soldto
                                            Shipto
    ECC- Account groups - soldto
                                           Shipto
    There are some more but in order to ask my question i have listed few:
    We are converting data from Legacy system and it is new SAP ECC/CRM Implementation
    We are going to create Prospective in CRM will replicate it to ECC under classification Prospect
    In ECC we will do account group switch from Prospect to Customer keeping business partner id same by defining same number range for Prospect and Customer account group in ECC. By middlware enhancment we will replicate customer to CRM and change prospect to Customer in CRM keep same business partner number.
    My Question is for Legacy Data conversion:
    Data conversion strategy is to load data to ECC system and then do Intial download to CRM.
    My concern is how does initial download work in terms of numbering the BP. I am going to load all customers in ECC and download to CRM.
    Once we are done with initial download we will fall back to strategy of creating prospect in CRM and later doing account group switch in ECC to customer so number range in ECC is external for customers. But for data conversion legacy system is going to hit ECC -- How do we control number range ?

    Hi Murali,
    As backend ERP system was a pretty old system, we had to implement 1067977. After this, the Middeware was working fine.
    Sunil,
    You could try implementing this note to solve your problem
