Middleware-Partner Functions not getting attached after BP replication

Question

Dear SDN team,
We have an problem related to CRM middleware . We have enabled Middleware to download BPs from SAP R/3 system to CRM 5.2 system.
Problem: We are able to download the individual BPs like Sold to party and Bill to party from SAP R/3 system to the CRM system. _But the Partner function relationships are not getting attached to these BPs after the replication from ERP to CRM _. I mean the Bill to party is not getting attached to the respective Sold to Party in the CRM system .
Strangely the Contacts for individual BPs is getting replicated via BP relationships
Can someone help me to solve this problem.
What should we do on the MW settings to replicate the respective BP relationships ??
Kindly get back urgently . Suitable points will be awarded for the useful solution.
Regards
Ritvij

Answer 1

Ritvij,
You can try as suggest to setup a filter on CUSTOMER_REL on KVNK.  I would exclude any entries where PARNR is a non null value.  Beyond that you may need to do a middleware exit to block that data on the R/3 side.
For your second question:
R/3 Account Group = CRM BP Grouping
Your settings PIDE should transfer the the account group to CRM.  You will need however to maintain a corresponding grouping with number range on the CRM.
I believe from a business partner "role" perspective, you need to do a middleware exit if you want to replicate the custom account group into a custom role.
If you do however have a relationship then you need need to do the mapping configuration for this.
In the CRM IMG you can use the Menu Path:
CRM->Basic Functions->Partner Processing->Data Transfer.  This will alow you to map in any custom partner functions from R/3 into CRM and be linkded on the business partner master.
Take care,
