Mass creation of customers as business partner

Hello,
I would like to create the business partners for my existing customers.
Is there a report like "HR_SYNC_PERSON" for customers?
Thank you,
Vanessa

Hi Tina,
You can refer to SAP note 956054 for this information. It describes in detail , the steps you need to follow to set up the CVI customizing and PPO activation.
As for the error, I'm not too aware of what could be the cause unless we know the error number / description. I would suggest that you create a new thread about the error - possibly a lot of others would have come across it and will be able to help you immediately !
Cheers,
Rishu.

Delay in creation of idocs after business partner change

Hello all,
In our production CRM system, we had an issue where even though users were making changes/creation of business partners, there was no trigger for the creation of idocs to be sent to the middleware system (connected via ALE to the CRM system).
This happened for a period of 17 minutes and then suddenly idocs started generating for the changes and posted to the middleware system as normal.
There were no resource constraints in the system during that time. We also checked the ORACLE database alert file to see if there were any database issues and found nothing.
The main activity going on that time was the download of product/materials from our R/3 system.
We can confirm that bdocs were generated for the business partner change to be sent to R/3 and those were sent succesfully during these 17 minutes. So only the creation of idocs were impacted.
We are trying to determine root cause as to why for those 17 minutes, idocs were not getting created.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Ramesh

Hello Kiran,
Thanks for the reply. The issue really is why during those 17 minutes idocs were not generated for the business partner changes.
After those 17 minutes, idocs started generating fine (even for those business partner changes that happened during those 17 minutes).
So we are looking to find a root cause for this behavior.
Thanks,
Ramesh

Automatic Creation of customer from business Partner

Hi Deepak M
Thank you very much for your response , but what is the effect of assigning the business partner number to an internal number assignment in customer account ( FI ). The FI team had assigned an internal number assignment for this account group. What are they supposed to do.
Please help
Thank y

Hi David,
If you are creating customers from BP. i.e. first the BP will get created and then customer gets created, the way system behaves is that it creates the BP and get a number is generated for it, then it goes and create a customer with the same number by passing the number already created as BP.
So the number range for BP should be internal and for the customer account group should be external. you might need to create a different customer account group for REFX customers.
Assumption: same number range tick is selected in the assignment where we assign the BP group and customer account group.

Deepak M

Automatic creation of employee to business partner

Hello geniuses,
We have scheduled a job that executes program BBP_VENDOR_SYNC. This brings new and updated partners from ECC 5.0 to our SRM 4.0.
After that, we have to manually create employee with contact person to each new partner, so that they can log on the system and participate in live auctions.
However, in our context, all information required in order to create an employee can be obtained by the corresponding business partner's data. This suggests we could automatize our process.
Have any of you ever attempted to do this? if so, could you give me hints?
Thank you in advance,
Henrique Hermont

SD customer creation in background when Business Partner (ISU) is created

Hi,
In ISU, when Business Partner is created via FPP1, it creates a SD customer in the background once required settings are maintained.
I have observed that the name field passed in Customer is a combination of various name fields (such as: first name, last name, affixe, name supplement etc.) maintained in BP.
The requirement is that only first and last name shall be passed in customer's name field.
Please let me know how we can control this. Also share the information on how Customer creation is triggered (via Event/function module/work flow etc.) in the process of BP creation.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Vandana

Vandana,
I assume that you know that the business partner (and also contract account) are implement by the means of BDT (business data toolset). The task menu of the business partner can be displayed with BUDT. The option 'business partner' -> 'control' -> 'Events' -> BUS7 (business data toolset) shows the define events that are processed during the processing of a business partner.
At event DSAVC the SD customer is retrieved by means of muster_kun (function module ISU_BUPA_EVENT_DSAVC). In the exit EXIT_SAPLES03_001 you should be in the position to change the data in the SD customer as you need it.
Kind regards,
Fritz

Creation of Vendor without Business Partner through MDGS

Hi
Can it poosible to create only vendors and not business partners in ECC from MDGS? I know we can create vendors in MDGS but also creates BP in BUT000 after approval. I want only vendors to be created in LF* tables and no entiry in BP releated tables table..

Dear Abdullah,
Please clarify the following doubts.
"Replication is done after the data is moved to the active area". here active area means the active area of MDG??replication moves the data from the active area of MDG to the tables of ECC in case of BP data model right?.
Also in the case of co-deployment we still need to replicate from the application tables in the co-deployed system to target system?
Thanks & Regards,
Ibrahim.

Automatic creation of customer from business partner ( RE )

Hi Deepak M
Thanx for your contribution , it has helped me very well in setting up my RE config, though iam still not able to create the customer. Your contribution is quite adequate and very helpful . Am now working with the FI team to revise their config so that we can establish the source of this problem. I firmly believe that there is an incomplete config in Financials.
I will give you the update in the shortest possible time.

David

Business Partner Migration

Hello Group:
      I continue with LSMW+IDOC for Business Partner Migration in SAP Banking.
      I am using the Idoc Message BUPA_INBOUND_MAIN_SAVE_M.
      I get the error:
           Specify at least one number for the business partner.
      But if I complete the following fields:
           OBJECT_TASK = U
           BPARTNER = 0000300024
           BPARTNERGUID = 0017087CDA621DECB3B9F5618A6FC300
      The IDoc works Ok, and modify the BP in question (300024).
      In my originals tests, for CREATE a Business Partner, the first parameter had value "I" (Insert) and White the others two.
      Someone would know as I complete these parameters to achieve successfully creation of a New Business Partner?
                                    Greetings, Thank You, Herná

Estimates:
        It Works using a Grouping with External Numbering, and Passing the Number of the Business Partner to Create.

Organizational objects do not create a Business Partner ID

I am setting up SRM org structure with PPOCA_BBP/PPOMA_BBP transaction. I am creating, companies, plants, purchase orgs, purchasing groups and positions and the problem is that SRM is not assigning a Business Partner number to any of those.
I have already checked that there is an internal and external number range setup for Business Partners. Do you have any hints why this could be happening? Your help will be appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi
Which SRM version are you using ?
I imagine you would like to synchronize business partner data, which are created in backend, into SRM. You can use Tcode BBPGETVD or BBPUPDVD or run/schedule bbp_vendor_sync (need customizing).
You can create BP:->
1) Either via middleware replication from R/3 to SRM - BBPGETVD.
2) Either manually directly in SRM web transaction - BBPMAININT.

FSCM-COL Business Partner Creation for Existing Customers

Experts-
After using MDS_LOAD_COCKPIT to create the initial load of Business Partners, there are a few Customers which are still missing Business Partners. Automatic Creation of Business Partners is set up and fully functioning for any new Customers created, however when attempting to use MDS_LOAD_COCKPIT for the existing Customers which are missing Business Partners the error message 'No transfer of interval for object BU_PARTNER' (Message no. NR028) is received.
If the Automatic Creation of Business Partners is working correctly at the time of Customer Master creation, what would prevent the Business Partner from being created after the Customer already exists?
Please let me know if further clarification is needed on what is outlined above.
Thanks and Regards,
Corey

In case someone runs into a similar issue in the future, the resolution to this issue is provided below:
In the case I've highlighted the customer had been created, yet the Business Partner failed to be created in the Automatic Business Partner Creation functionality initially due to a missed Tax Number Category configuration. Once this configuration was complete the BP still failed to create via XD02 or MDS_LOAD_COCKPIT. MDS_PPO2 gave the initial error message as 'Business partner ##1 does not exist' (Message no. R1201).
Although the Customer to BP synchronization setting were set up for an external number range, the presence of contact persons in the Customer Master record were causing SAP to look for grouping data. Since no grouping data was present SAP was attempting to create BPs contact persons using the internal number range, which was already set at its limit.
By removing the contact persons from the customer master via XD02 and then re-executing the MDS_LOAD_COCKPIT, the requested Business Partner was created. After that the contact persons were then re-maintained in the customer master.

Business Partner Mass creation

Hi Experts
We are in process of impementing Service Desk in Solution Manager 4.0. We did one to one user mapping. now we are about to creat Buisiness partner for 9950 users. when we got Transaction DSWP and Click on Edit and Create business Partner and when we select the system PS2 and clicking on drop down so that we can select some user it not let us to do. its saying that Time out. Please find the Log
"Runtime Errors         TIME_OUT
Date and Time          26.03.2008 20:11:19
Short text
     Time limit exceeded.
What happened?
     The program "DSWP_USER_PROPAGATION_TO_CRM" has exceeded the maximum permitted
      runtime without
     interruption and has therefore been terminated.
What can you do?
     Note down which actions and inputs caused the error.
     To process the problem further, contact you SAP system
     administrator.
     Using Transaction ST22 for ABAP Dump Analysis, you can look
     at and manage termination messages, and you can also
     keep them for a long time.
Error analysis
     After a specific time, the program is terminated to make the work area
     available to other users who may be waiting.
     This is to prevent a work area being blocked unnecessarily long by, for
     example:
     - Endless loops (DO, WHILE, ...),"
Please tell us there is any other alternative to create mass business partners
Points will be reward for helpful answer
Thank you

Hi,
Please ask your basis team to change the instance profile transaction RZ10 extended maintenance change the parameter rdisp/max_wprun_time to higher value. The value unit is in seconds. Considering the number of user entries, this requires to be increased. No other way out.
Please keep in mind, you have to restart the instance.
This will solve your problem. Feel free to revert back.

Business Partner creation for Customer Master creation

Hi
We have customized our system in order to trigger the creation of Business Partner whenever a Customer Master is created.
I created some customers for which the Business Partner creation was not triggered due to some reason.. In order to manage the same, i created a Business Partner manually and tried to link the same to my customer through T Code FLBPD2, but system returned with a message "The business partner could not be linked to the customer selected" Message Number CVIC_UI023.
Can anyone suggest something.
Thanx in advance
Pankaj

Hi Pankaj,
Please check wether you configured all required node under Master Data Synchronization..In SPRO..I am referring to below node.
Active Synchroniztion Options
Set BP role Category for customer Integration
Define BP Role for direction customer to BP
Field Assignment for customer Integration
Thanks

Automatic creation of Vendor in FI from Business Partner

Hi, experts!
We are looking into a process to automate the creation of vendor master data in FI Accounts Payable for our employees and to keep them in sync as employees' names, banking and address info change over time. We use concurrent employment, and we noticed that running PRAA as a mass-update job to create vendor records for all employees will create duplicate Vendors for employees who have more than one active Personnel Assignment.
We are now looking into the possibility of using the Business Partner as a means of pushing HR data into FI within the same ECC6 system. So far, we have been able to turn on the automatic creation of BPs when new employees are 'hired' into our test system via transaction PA40. We can also use the program HRALXSYNC to create the BP for existing employees. Once these BPs are created, master data updates flow from the employee master data in HR to the BP. However, we can't seem to get the system to automatically create a Vendor record for this BP and have that linked together at the same time.
Is this possible? If not, is there a transaction that can be run to do a mass creation of Vendor records for Business Partners that don't already have one?
I can see that our BPs have been assigned to the proper Role in table BUT100, and we have "define(d) vendor link for business partner roles" in V_TBC002 to be "vendor-based". What configuration step might we be missing?

Hi, Mahesh
Thanks for the response!! We have already created an entry in this table for Role Category = BUP003 (the SAP-delivered role category "Employee"). In this table, we have chosen the "Vendor Based" radio button, since we want Vendor master data to be created for all BUP003 business partners that are created.
Which function modules need to be activated via the SPRO path Cross-Application Components -> SAP Business Partner -> Data Distribution -> Activate Function Modules in order to have Vendors automatically created whenever a specific role of BP is created?
Thanks again for all your help!
