Need a Business Package for Vendor Portal with ECC as backend ?

Hello,
We are looking for a portal business package which can talk to backend ECC system and has the functionality to create/change/display POu2019s, Invoices, Inventory and reporting functionality. All this functionality needs to be available to Vendors via an External Facing Netweaver Portal.
I have gone through the list of BPu2019s available at https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/contentportfolio and found some BPu2019s available for Buyers which has the above required functionality, however it has exposed ECC transactions directly via Transaction iViews which we cannot expose to Vendors.
Also there is one Business Package called Supplier Collaboration which delivers the required functionality, but unfortunately we do not have SRM/SUS components in the project.
Please let me know if you know business package to implement or if not best practices to achieve the functionality.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Seshu.

Hi experts,
We are trying to implement the CRM4.0 Sales business package in our EP6.0 environment( Our Backend R/3 is in 4.6B) . We would like to install complete package for the Sales module (The main (Top level) menus in the portal look like the following ==>
Activities.. Account Management ... Acquisition.. Sales .. Products.. Analysis..   Home.. R/3 Integration .. CRM integration .. APO integration..
Below every top level menus there are sub menus.. For example under Sales we would have the folliwng ( Overview.. Quotation.. Orders .. Contracts.. Billing Documents )
In the list of package from CRM (available in the SDN) the following looks like the currect one, can anybody advice please.
Business Package for SAP CRM 4.0     60.2.3   SAP AG   Unrestricted Shipment.
However, since we are only interested about the Sales Portion only can we choose to import content that is relevant only to the CRM SALES as well as CRM SALES analytics and not anything else? If it's possible the what is the procedure? If not then I assume that we will have to import the entire content and activate only the portion that we need. Please advice.
Appreciate a detail reply.
   Thanks
Arun

Hi Arun,
When u download and apply a busiiness pacakge u will get the complete package.
After appling the bussiness package u will get a report showing whcih all roles worksets etc are added to the portal. And also In portal contants there will be a folder created. There u can see the roles , worksets pages iviews etc.
You can edit the role and put the desired iviews or pages according to u r demand.

Business Package for Asset Services, implementation & integration

Hello,
We have installed Business Package for Asset Services in EP6.0 and integrated it with back-end system. The package works fine but on some iViews (equipmentpartners, functionallocationpartners, equipment, functionallocation, configurationshow) we have following runtime error:
Portal Runtime Error
An exception occurred while processing a request for :
iView : pcd:portal_content/com.sap.portal.migrated/ep_5.0/roles/com.sap.pct.eservice.operator/eservice/nf/InstallationManagm/com.sap.pct.eservice.partners.equipmentpartners

Page could not create the iView.
See the details for the exception ID in the log file
Im novice in SAP EP and need help, can anyone help me please?
Best Regards
Raka

Dear Ranko and others,
The problem lies in the lowercase and uppercase of the specific shared ressources within the deployed file default.properties of the business partner. Also the link to the PDV isnt the same anymore.
I had the same problems and by analyzing the logs of the nwa I found this solution. Donwload the files and replace the names with lowercase and making the reference to th PDV as well. Then upload this packaged PAR file again.
Best regards

Problems with user mapping to download ESS Business Package for EP 6.0

Hi,
I am trying to download ESS Business Package for EP 6.0 but facing problems inspite of reading the SAP document on downloading Business Package. Here is my problem:
I start to download the package and to map the user ids. I am mapping the SDN user id to a SAP Service Marketplace user id as mentioned in the SDN website. But the download option is not working and gave an error when I clicked on the 'Download' link after user mapping.
It would help me a lot if anyone else who tried to download BPs after user mapping gave their feedback.
Can someone please clarify about the user ids and describe how can I download the ESS Business Package?
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
from the description you provide I can't tell what the problem might be, so to determine the cause we need more information on this. Screenshots of the error message would be ideal.
In general, the following needs to be done:
- you need to be signed in at SDN with your Service Marektplace s user id
- the user mapping for the data source 'Service Marketplace' needs to be maintained
Please send the error information to: [email protected]
and we will try to solve it.
Thanks, Anke

Reports available in the Business Package for MSS and ESS

Hi,
I have searched sdn.sap.com throughout looking for a comprehensive list of reports available in the business packages for both MSS and ESS, i got a little bit of joy and found some of the MSS reports but not all on sdn.sap.com, can anyone please advise where i would find such information on both these packages, just to re-iterate, i am looking for a list of reports these business packages offer? any help much appreciated.
Thanks
John
P.s any documents can be sent to [email protected]

@John
(1) ESS- We built our own custom PORTAL role/workset in which one of the worksets we created is called "Tools and Forms". Under that workset, we placed various pages/iViews that either are simple URL iViews that link to external documents and such (like vacation request forms since they do not do online leave requests yet) as well as a couple ot t-code iViews that run reports in ECC for the employee. Nothing very mind blowing there. Just some content creation on the portal side.....oh, and some config on the backend to create a Homepage Framework Area Page and all for it (I liked that part!)
(2) Wow....talk about perfect timing...I just had to document the way MSS sees the MDT reports in it's "reporting" area yesterday! haha Here goes the quick explaination....in configuration for MDT, you have various "scenarios". These kinda determine which "groups" of reports will show in MDT. For MSS for the Reporting webdynpro/service, the scenario is RPT0 (in ECC 5.0, at least). Soooo if you look at the function CODES assigned to RPT0, you will see several for Training and one for Accounting (Cost Centers)...you can reference the function CODES listed back to the "pool"/library of function codes a bit up/previous in the same config area for MDT(I think it is called "Define Function Codes"). However, there is one more piece you will see listed under RPT0....it is a DIRECT call to function MODULE "HR_HIS_READ" (this was a bugger to find because I could not find the "Maternity" report listed in the function codes and had to figure out where the heck it was coming from! haha). Anyways....what the function MODULE actually does is call the HR Information System (HIS) passing it the RPT0/MSS scenario. This returns the particular reports for Employee Data and Time&Attendance. You can see this if you run the HR_HIS_READ function directly and enter RPT0 for the second input value (first and third are not needed or you can just enter "*". Sooooo that is how the "magic" happens. Hope that explained it. From there, you can simply config you own scenario/reports to add into MSS if you like.
Hope this helped!

3)Which versions are these business packages on?
I am interested in SD, MM, FI and CRM.
Ealier i have imported the Business package for Sales 60.1 successfully. I need some help in setting up the system connections. Since all the iviews in it run on ITS i have set up the ITS connection. But somehow it is unable to connect. can you give me a step by step approach for setting up the ITS connections for these business packages and pull the data?
When i click on the iview link it simply says:
Portal Runtime Error
An exception occurred while processing a request for :
iView : N/A
Component Name : N/A
Unable to lookup System 'SAP_R3_SalesService'. Please check the system object and the alias..
See the details for the exception ID in the log file
I have created the sytem with same name as given in the error i.e.SAP_R3_SalesService and i have given the ITS connection parameters for this system name also.But still it gives me the same error.
Also do you have any step by step notes on this?
I have sent an email to your yahoo id. Please check.
And Points...you will surely get it

We have a newly installed Portal 7.3 without any Business Packages installed in it.
My Questions are,
1. If i go with same backend ECC 6 Ehp 4 with Portal 7.3, than what are all the BP's that i have to deploy?
2. Can i go with same Business packages   those i am using currently with Portal 7.01?
3. How to migrate my ESS and MSS apps (customized apps NWDI )from Portal 7.01 to 7.3
4. in future if we upgarde our backend to EHP 5 than what happens to WD java Application. i come to know that ESS application are totally built on WD ABAP for EHP5
Please help me out to determine the correct Business packages for my requirement.
Thanks & Regards
Rajeev Bikkani

Hi,
> 1. If i go with same backend ECC 6 Ehp 4 with Portal 7.3, than what are all the BP's that i have to deploy?
BP's depends upon what all functionality you want to use. e.g If you are using ESS/MSS then you need to deploy BP's for ESS/MSS.
> 2. Can i go with same Business packages   those i am using currently with Portal 7.01?
You should install latest version of BP's on NW 7.3 like for ESS/MSS latest version is 1.51.
> 3. How to migrate my ESS and MSS apps (customized apps NWDI )from Portal 7.01 to 7.3
You need to migrate all these customization manually as PAR files are not more supported for NW 7.3.
> 4. in future if we upgarde our backend to EHP 5 than what happens to WD java Application. i come to know that ESS application are totally built on WD ABAP for EHP5
>
It depends upon you. If you want to use ESS/MSS for web dynpro ABAP then you need to install BP of ESS for web dynpro ABAP but if you don't want to use web dynpro then you can use same way as you are doing currently.
Check SAP Note 1450179 - ESS Based on Web Dynpro ABAP Available.
Thanks

Business Package for Internal Sales Representative 1.0

I'm trying to install the Business Package for Internal Sales Representative 1.0 to explore the options of using Business Packages in our portal. I have the SAP Library Link for this BP ( http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/EN/b7/036b4060a1181ce10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm ), and I've looked at the configuration information on the page.
So far I've imported the business package for common parts and the business package for internal sales representative, I assigned the alias "SAP_ECC_SalesService" to our ECC connection (does it need to be the default alias?). We also have an ITS installed for the connected system. We don't currently have our BI system connected to this portal, but it said that was optional. I have also assigned the role from each business package to my user, but when I open the iviews, they give me errors.
I am not sure what I am supposed to do to make the settings for the launchpad. Also, what other steps do I need to complete? Do I need to do something in the source system to set up the connection?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Owen

One of the errors is as follows, but it is because BI is not connected to this portal, as the documentation says the connection is optional for this business package:

Business Packages for SAP Learning Solution

Hi All,
I need to upload the Business Package for SAP Learning Solution in EP 7.0
Can anyone give me a link to download the Business Package for SAP Learning Solution.?
Regards,
Eben.

Hi Eben,
For EP 7.0, you would have to go for BP for Learning 1.0.
From service market place :
https://websmp101.sap-ag.de/~form/handler?_APP=00200682500000001943&_EVENT=DISPHIER&HEADER=Y&FUNCTIONBAR=N&EVENT=TREE&V=MAINT&TA=ACTUAL&TMPL=01200615320200008111
But this BP apart there are a couple of other things that you would have to take into consideration like the add-ons on the backend (ECC) system.
Check list :
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/bc/1f6f740510aa43bb74e2d415b31c57/content.htm

ECM: Business Package for Compensation Specialist

Hi,
so the last ECM project I worked on, the portal resource installed the compensation specialist business package.
But now I am having trouble confirming exactly what should be installed.
On sdn, there is a great excel sheet that is recently updated, that has all the expected business packages we need and helpful information on each package (mss, ess, tms, erecruiting, etc)
Check it out:
Predefined Portal Content Integration
However, to my surprise nothing was in this list for Comp specialist.
Through various searching - i am really only finding this compensation specialist business package, which looks more like ECC 5.0, but I guess it must also work on 6.0, ep4??
http://help.sap.com/Business_Packages/EN/7D/28543F65C83B28E10000000A114084/frameset.htm
additionally, all i see in the service marketplace is:
This looks like the install file:
BPERP4CSP00_0-10003191.sca
BP for Compensation Specialist (mySAP ERP 2004) 60.2
BP COMPENSATION SPECIAL. 60.2
Last changed by sap service on:
15.12.2005
Is this really the active version that should still be used for ECC 6.0, EP4 or is it under some other name?
Thx,
Mike

HIi Siddharth, thx for confirming, this was my guess.
It also appears that much of the new ECM analytics integrated with BW in EP5 is being moved under the TMS 1.51 (Talent Management Specialist) Application.
If they are moving ECM reports there, I don't understand why you would not just incorporate all the BSP links / folder structures so that 'BP Compensation Specialist 60.2' could be officially retired.

EP60 : Business Package for Communication & Exchange

Hello, I see that the Business Package for Communication isn't supported on SAP EP 6.0 SP2. Is there any other package available which can be used for Exchange integration and EP60 SP2? Sorry if this is an obvious answer but I am new to portals and part of our project sign off was the ability to do exchange integration.

Hi Sandra,
Please note that the Business Package for Communication was only available for SAP EP 5.0. Newer releases of SAP EP contain the groupware (GW) functionalities and some GW iViews automatically as soon as KM is installed with the EP. The integration with MS Exchange 2003 should work. If you look for iViews such as Send EMail, Create Appointment, Show availability and Room Calendar, you can use the iViews shipped by SAP. If however you need the EMail inbox or the personal calendar and tasks, then the native OWA iViews are the way to go. For further details please refer to the SAP NetWeaver admin guide http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/0c/30d624a0fae949902f7a4b2a8f98bd/frameset.htm.
Hope that helps
