Missing functionality: Business Partner Authorization -Read only is missing

Version: SAP Business One 2007 A (8.00.177) SP:00 PL:38
Description of requirements:
Im missing the functionality -read only- at the authorisation to change the Business Partners
It should be
Leads: Full authorisation / no authorisation / read only

Hi
I have implemented the same in SAP B1 2005B, what I did is
I have given the Read Only authorization for Business Partner and I have given the Full Authorization for BP Type (under Busniess Partner) Customer and Lead
So, when the specific user logs into the system and open the Business Partner Master screen, the Add option will be disabled for the user and in find mode he/she can find only the Customer or Lead. And after that when he/she chose any BP, he/she can only view.

Change authorization to a user for a particular Business Partner Role

Hi,
My requirement is simple. I have two set of users in my project.
Set A will be
1- Creating business partners with role Prospect
2- Changing PROSPECT business partners's master data
3- Display it
Set B will be
1- Changing and Displaying all business partners irrespective of their roles (prospect, sold to party, employee.)
When I grant access the authorization object B_BUPA_RLT with ACTVT 01, 02, 03 and BP Role BUP002 (Prospect) only (for Set A) to a PFCG role, the user who has that PFCG role can still change any business partner irrespective of the business partner's role.
Authorization object CRM_BPROLE is inactive in my PFCG role here, as per my understanding, it is used for checking if a user has authorization to assign a BP role to A BP (Not a big of concern here). Please correct me if I'm wrong.
I studied badi BADI_CRM_BP_UIU_AUTHORITY and enhancement implementation BADI_CRM_BP_FILTER_ATTRIBUTE but none of them seem to fit in to my requirement.
Do you have an idea/recommendation on how to proceed from here? Or am I missing something big which should be right in front of my eye?
Thanks for your time,

Hey Glenn, thanks for your input.
Here are my active assignments (and my ideas about the usage of authorization in parenthesis)
B_BUPA_RLT
ACTVT: 03 Role: BUP002, CRM000, CRM002, CRM003, CRM004, ZCRM000 (the user is authorized to display six all roles)
ACTVT: 01, 02 Role: BUP002 (the user is authorized to create a business partner only in BUP002 role. He/she is authorized to change a business partner's data only if BP has role BUP002 assigned to)
CRM_BPROLE:
ACTVT: 01, 02, 03 Role: BUP002 (If BP has BUP002 role only, user is authorized to change/display BP's data)
With that authorization info, the user can still change a BP who has CRM000 (and not BUP002 role). How can I achieve that the user should have the authorization to change the BP's with role BUP002, and not BP's with other roles?
Additional experience: In the situation below, user cannot change any BP's master data.
B_BUPA_RLT
ACTVT: 03 Role: BUP002, CRM000, CRM002, CRM003, CRM004, ZCRM000 (
ACTVT: 01 Role: BUP002
CRM_BPROLE:
ACTVT: 01, 02, 03 Role: BUP002
But when I grant B_BUPA_RLT ACTVT: 02 Role: BUP002 only, I happen to come the very first situation, as he/she can change all BP's master data.

BP change documents ( linking problem between Object id and Business Partner)

Hi,
We need to create a report for documents changed for a Business partner.
This will be done in sap bw.
on source side I have created the datasource with function module changedocument_read and I am getting most of the information
which I want. Only missing part is Business Partner number.
Can somebody suggest , how I would be able to link Object Id to business partner.
I need to pull everything that is changed at BP level and the Object class selection around 30 in number.
So I am looking for any standard function module which can provide me the link between Object id and Business partner.
If I establish the rules to determine the Business partner from Object id , its getting bit difficult.
Can somebody please help/suggest.
I have gone through many documents and scn posts but unable to find anything on this.
Thanks !

Hi, looking at the change history header table CDHDR it seems that object ID simple equals the internal format of the business partner number.

FSCM-COL program FDM_COLL_SEND_ITEMS checks business partner in KNA1

We have a requirement to create a Business partner in FSCM-COL without creating any Customer master in FI (KNA1 table). For each Customer invoice we have populated the Business partner (UDM_BP) in a free field (BSEG table). Say customer ABC invoice #10000 will have the business partner XYZ assigned in BSEG field XREF1. XYZ is not created as Customer in KNA1 but is created as Business partner in UDM_BP only.
For sending FI-AR data to FSCM, we have changed the BADI logic of determination of Branch/Payer to get the Business partner from BSEG-XREF1 field not from KUNNR. When FI-AR data is sent to FSCM using the program FDM_COLL_SEND_ITEMS, system checks whether Business partner XYZ is created in KNA1 table. Is there any way to avoid creating XYZ as Customer in KNA1 since we would be duplicating 5k+ customer records.
Request your ideas on this.
Thanks,
Siva Parvathala

Hi,
This is kind of strange as to why you want to do this. Anyway you have 1 customer in FI-AR for whom you are generating the invoices. So there is already a customer ABC. You also have a BP XYZ. Now why not use the standard itself and link the customer ABC with XYZ which is going to save all the efforts required for custom modifications. For linking BP and Customer, it is not necessary that both should have the same number range.
Also I don't think you can do the transfer without linking customer and BP. Anyway I will check this and let you know. But I am sure this is redundant work and you can use the standard itself for this.

Incorrect display Business Partner roles when creating Individual account

Hi,
The problem occurs in CRM 5.2. I have changed some business partner roles for both the business partner categories 'Organization' & 'Person'. My settings al correctly displayed in de SAP GUI but not in de webclient (my new business partner roles are only displayed correctly for 'Corporate Account' but not for 'Individual Account'.)
Does anyone has a clue?
Kind regards,
Nigel de la Rambelje

Hi Joost,
Thank you for your reply.
The issue is that different roles are displayed in the webclient compared to the gui.
For the business partner category 'Person' the following roles are displayed: Contact Person, Employee, Portal Provider & Sold-to Party (and which are the roles we would like to have).
But, if I create an Individual Account in the webclient, the following roles are displayed: Member, Patient, Physician, Portal Provider & Sold-To Party. The roles Member, Patient and Physician should not be displayed. Where are these roles defined? I would like to hide these roles.
Kind regards,
Nigel

Product in a card of the business partner (transaction BP)

Hi everybody!
Help me, please!!!)
I created product and business partner. I need see this product in a card of this business partner (transaction BP). How can I do it?
For example, the Bank ### has the product "Deposit". The client of Bank ## Mr. Smith uses this deposit. How can I display this fact in a card of the business partner of Mr. Smith?
Thanks)

Hello!
Usually Products are not related to the Business Partner directly. Only Competitor Products are displayed in the Account Overview-Page, if the Account has the Role u201CCompetitoru201D.
In your use-case the u201CBank ###u201D is not your internal organization, but any Account. Now you want to display in the Overview-Page of Mr. Smith, that he uses a Product of Bank ###.
Right now, I donu2019t see an option to visualize this. The Account Fact-Sheet includes also Installed Base Information, but this doesnu2019t include information about Products of u201Canyu201D Account (only own Products or Products a service contract is available).
Best regards

Authorizations: On Business Partner, there is no "read only" option

Hi everybody,
I am trying to allow users to see a Business Partner (for example, when creating a sales order, they should be able to search for a customer and to see details about it), but I don't want them to be able to create or update a Business partner.
In SBO, there is no option "Read only" fro Business partner.
We have "addind a business partner"               No or Full authorization
and         "Business partner type" Customers No or Full authorization
Do you have a solution for me ?

Thats correct if you give ADD / UPDATE it applies to both Customers and Vendors.
There is no setting by BP type, it applies for all BP's.
I did not understand this "I didn't see that there is an authorization at "chapter" level..."
In the Authorization window when you expand Business Partners you would see
<li>Adding Business Partner
<li> <h3> Business Partner Master Data </h3>
At the Business Partner Master Data   change the setting to Read-Only

Function modules in CRM (read Business Partner attributes)

Hi,
I would like to print a document in wich will be Business Partner attributes and other crmdata. Does anybody know how I can read the Business Partner marketing attributes. Can I use for this some function modules or else?
Are there some documentations about all Function modules in CRM and what they do?
Thanks,
Malnor

Hi Malnor,
Marketing attributes of a BP can be found in table AUSP.
You can build your own custom function module to read marketing attributes.
Refer to the link below for sample code of a FM to read BP marketing attributes -
[Custom Function module to read BP marketing attributes|http://divulgesap.com/blog.php?p=NDg=]
Hope it helps.

Function module to read sales area data of a Business partner

Hi,
Could anyone please tell me if there is a functio module to read the sales area data of a business partner.
Also, what tables contain the sales area data of a BP.
Thanks,
Sahil

Hi Gregor,
I was basically looking for a function module that would give me the details on the Billing Tab from the BP Sales area data.
we can use BAPI_BUPA_FRG0030_GETDETAIL function module to retreive that data.
Thanks,
Sahil

Cannot put in read-only the vendor screen - Authorization

Hi all,
I would like a role to display in read-only mode the vendor (business partner) screen (BBPMAININT).
I assigned the BBP_PD_VL and BBP_VEND authorization objects with the 'display' attributes but the user still has 'edit' rights on the vendor profile.
What am I missing?
Thanks for your inputs
chris

Hi
I am afraid, it's not possible to make read-only mode using SAP Roles (using PFCG transation and authorization values). BBPMAININT transaction is a Web transaction and is Intended for Edit/Change/Display in same transaction.. and hence cannot be controlled via Authorizations/ Roles.
<u>Anyways, try these pointers -></u>
Note 956723 BBPMAININT:Bus. partner display switches to maintenance mode
Note 825199 Restricting maintenance to own data for 'ext. employees'
How to change Field display name for bbpmainint internet service?

Add business partner to target group - some data missing

Hello,
I created a target group. This target group includes data of person and the associated data of organization (for example: city, street, ...). Now I want add some other person. I have two opportunities when I have open the target group:
1. In the table of the target group
In the column "Business Partner ID" I can open the input help and search the person which I want add zu the target group
2. In the view of the target group
On the top there is a button "Import Business Parterns", there I can upload txt files with the bp-no. from the person.
It works only the first possibility. There are all data of person and organization included.
At the second possibility there are the data of person included, but it lacks the data of organization and I don't know why.
Does anybody know, what's the problem? Is it standard or is it a bug?
Thank you in advance.
Best regards, Jasmin

For information:
When you want add business partner by file upload to the target group, in the SAP standard the target group can handle only one ID, either the account ID or th contact ID. So when I add some contact IDs by file upload to the target group then I miss the data of the account. So, I have to build up the same target group a second time.

Missing Business Partner

Classic Scenario; SRM 5.0; R/3 46C
Hi everyone,
I am a true novice when it comes to troubleshooting issues related to Business Partners. My updated SRM Org Structure shows that there is a node w/ a business partner number 0000005409 under the Extended Attribute - Locations. And for the plant description, the line is blank.
However if I go to the transaction BP and search for this business partner 0000005409 - I receive the message "0 Business Partner Found." Has anyone encountered something like this?
I think when we did the upgrade from EBP 3.5 to SRM 5.0 there was a failed operation.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Thank you again for your response Gordan.
I checked the table but this BP is indeed missing.
Do you recommend that I assign a new BP? My only concern is that this BP exists in the org structure. How can I "safely" recreate this BP and reassign; do you see any issues that I have to aware of?
I am very unfamiliar with this process and relationships with other objects in SRM.
Thank you again for your informative responses.
Thank you,
Jay.

Authorization in BEx Query Designer: "read only" for definitions of variables

Hello,
I`m developing a concept of authorizations for key user who should be able to maintain certain
objects in the query designer. For other objects they should have access “read only”.
The users have authorizations to design new queries. They should be able to use existing variables
(SAP Business Content ( 0*) and customer variables (z*). On this point, I have a problem: in the selection window of the query designer there are only buttons to create, to delete and to edit a variable.
The user must have authorizations for changing, although he just wants to look for the definition
of a variable (if he wants to see their basic or global settings before using the variable).
I can´t find a possibility to switch from “edit” to “read only”.
The users should only see and apply variables from others (SAP, collegues), but he mustn´t be able to
change them.
The user needs the following authorization objects: S_RS_COMP , activity =02 (change), also
authorization object S_RS_COMP1. If I give the users only activity 03 (display),
the user get the message: “display not allowed”.
Is there any possibility to give a key user the authorization to display all variables with
their definitions?
Best regards
Ricarda Seyb

Hi raghukan,
This is may be due to the authorization but still you can check the consistency check for these queries using RSRV.

Amit

RE:Business partner functions in customer Master creation

Do we need to send the Business partner functions while creating record in R3 thru MDM.
For any account group i pass the Idoc is expecting all Business partner functions to be defined for the account group to which am trying to create Customer.(As SH,BP,PY..)
Can anyone please explain me in brief the Business partner function -Problem in my scenerio............................Concept of Business Partner function while creating Customer.

In ECC partner functions are used when you have multiple addresses for the same customer. The partner function links those address records together. You could have multiple unique customer numbers on the KNA1 table, but in the KNVVP table (partner functions) you maintain the linkage between the main table records.
Partner functions are not recommended in MDM. These are generally not considered to be "enterprise level attributes" and therefore shouldn't reside in your customer repository in a central create scenario. Additionally, some of the complexity required to model partner functions can't be modeled in MDM at this time. When 7.1 comes out, there is a new data type called "tuples" which supports deeply nested structures, and therefore you could model a true partner function table inside the sales area table.
