Partner Role Category

Hi experts
Is it possible to customize BP Role Category and is it possible to create a new BP Role without assigning it BP role category? Any idea?
Thanks in advance.
Mehmet

Mehmet,
I donu2019t know if I understood your question, but here is my answer.
If you want to create a new BP Category, as Contact Person, Prospect, Employee and etc, you can do it through IMG
Cross-Application Components, SAP Business Partner, Business Partner, Business Partner Roles, Define BP Roles
Choose folder BP Role Categories, there are all standard BP ROLE CATEGORY, so you can copy a standard set up to create your own category, or fill free to create your on category without any copy.
To use the new category, donu2019t forget to set check box Possible BP Categories.
By the way, if you want to create a BP role, different of Organization, Person or Group, is not possible to do that.
I hope this information can help you

I copied BUP003 and given my BP Role name as ZEmp.
When i try to save it, it is giving an error message saying
"NO STANDARD ASSIGNMENT DEFINED FOR BP ROLE CATEGORY BBP003".
I have checked in BBP003 Category in the same.
What could be the problem?
Thanks in Advance

Hi Roshan,
You have Created a BP Role,
You must also have assgned the Same to a BP Role Category Check the Settings for BP Role Category Assignment and when Appropriate you shall Assign Std Assignment of BP Role Category to your BP Role by Selecting the Check Box
Referal Notes:

The role category depends on a differentiation type.
Any number of BP roles can be assigned to a role category, with one role always acting as the standard role per role category.
It is possible to control the update of a role by assigning a role category to a role.
Hope it Anwers your Queries..

Changing the partner role

Hello guys! How are ya'?
I need to change an actual Business Partner Role in my CRM 2007.
I tried to execute a FM called BAPI_BUPA_ROLE_CHANGE but, it doesn't running.
Anybody here know how can I to do this?
Thanks in advance.
Regards.
Danilo Cardoso

Hi Danilo,
I'm doing good! Hope life's looking great at your end too !
I think the problem here might be that your role is not assigned a role category. For a role to get saved to database table BUT100, it is mandatory to assing the role to a role category since the code only works on role category.
To assign a role category, go to view V_TB003, select and double click the role. On this new screen, maintain the role category--> role assignment.
In case you are using a Z role, you have 2 options -
a)use an existingrole category
b) create a new Z role category and assign this new category to the Z role.
To create role categories, you can go to view V_TB003A.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Rishu.

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

Standard Role for 000000 for role category MKK is not permitted

Hello SAP Gurus,
I am working on RM-CA and was trying to create a business partner using T-code FPP1 and BUP1.
I was trying to create a business partner as an organization.
WHen I try to save the record I get the error "Standard Role for 000000 for role category MKK is not permitted" Msg P082.
I've checked the view V_TB003 and I see that the Standard Role is assigned to the MKK category.
Has anyone encountered this problem before? What is the fix for this? What am I missing?
Thanks

Hi Jamal,
Please check the following steps:
1. In view V_TB003, please check if the BP role category "MKK" is assigned to the BP role "MKK".
2. In view V_TB109, please check if the BP role category "MKK" is assigned to the transaction code FPP1
I hope it helps!

Business Partner Role Specific Field View in WebClient

Hello to everyone,
I have a question that really needs a answer. We are upgrading from SAP CRM v4 to SAP CRM v7.0 and as such we have a number of custom Business Partner Roles within the Person BP Type. Against these custom roles we have developed custom field and tabs in order to separate the content within the BP Role further.
After rolling off an implementation of SAP CRM v6.0 [2007], the following seems apparent:
- Assignment of Roles is done via an assignment block in the Customer Maintenance view.
- You can create Business Partners in different roles initially.
- You cannot maintain Business Partner details in specific roles
However, you cannot display the role specific fields as you can in the WinClient. As an example, a Citizen Role BP will have different fields to that of a Teacher, but these roles could be assigned to one Business Partner.
There does not seem to be any guidance as to how this is managed in the WebClient and as it seems a fundamental part fo the SAP CRM offering, you would have thought that this questions has been asked, but I have found no answers.
I really hope anyone can help and appreciate any time and effort put into solving my question.
Many Thanks,
MatFlat.

Hi MatFlat,
Yes, your observation is right - in the Web UI, fiel grouping is not implemented for roles. This is because the role concept is quite different between SAP Gui and Web UI.
In SAP gui, (CRM 4.0) roles had a functional meaning as well as a UI control. However, the concept was changed with Web UI. Now, roles have only a functional meaning, and no effect on the UI at all.
If you want to implement role based field grouping in Web UI, you need to define your own methods in the implementation class.
E.g : you can write code to influence the field properties based on the roles. I guess you can redefine the DO_PREPARE_OUTPUT methods of the impl class.
In order to get info about which roles the BP is maintained , you can use FM BUPA_ROLES_GET_2.
Hope this helps you.
Cheers,
Rishu.

E-Recruiting 6.0: Business Partner Role For Branches

Hi Experts,
In the IMG, SAP E-Recruiting > Basic Settings > Enterprise Structure > Define Business Partner Role for Branches
Can anyone help in the following:
1) What is the purpose of Business Partner Role and how does it relate the Branches? Or how can i make use of it?
2) If i am going to maintain the Company & Branches via the Administrator function instead of IMG, do I still need to configure this step: Define Business Partner Role for Branches
Thanks. Will reward points for any helpful tips.
William

Hello William,
the Business Partner is an application / module which belongs to the base components of the SAP. It is used and partly extended by various other applications / modules. Next to E-Recruiting it is used for example by CRM and the financial service solution (FS-CS, FS-PM, FS-RI). All of these modules can put their data for a person or an organization into the same tables. Depending on the installation / system environment or even within one single module the requirements for available fields and business checks as on authorization differ between kinds of business partners (e.g. in FS-CS the commission solution for the financial service sector knows external agents and internal employees which have to be treated differently). The business partner is the element to assign the logical / business role in which a person is handled by the system.
For E-Recruiting you have 2 kinds of business partners, too. On the one and there are people being candidates and on the other hand there are branches of your company which hire people. The configuration allows you to seperate them if you need to identify anywhen which business partner is a branch and which is a candidate. So far I never tried if this is really working as there is no real use for this I never set it up. The attributes and the business checks are the same anyways.
Hope that helps a bit to understand the context
Best Regards
Roman Weise
PS: please remember that you have to maintain the branches via administrator bsp application. Using the IMG entry won't work.

Error message 06030 when copying PO items and partner roles

Hello gurus,
when I try to copy a PO item into a new PO using a different vendor, I get an error message:
Reference vendor 20003681 differs from vendor 20004972
Message no. 06030
So far so good. But when I put that new PO on "Hold" and reopen and save it later, the error message is gone.
This is a SAP error, isn't it? Obviously SAP cannot determine that the items have been copied after reopening the PO.
Second question:
In the new PO, there is a partner role VN as it should be, but the partner is still the vendor of the original PO I copied from. So now I have got two different vendors in one PO!
And even worse: I have not yet found a way to change the partner in the VN role because it is mandatory and cannot be changed after saving the PO.
Any ideas on either problem?
Thanks
Alicia

Hi,
Check following settings
Spro>materials mgmt>purchasing>partner determination>partner settings in purchasing documents>define partner schemas
select the schema you are using>double click on >partner funstions in procedure>check for role VN
No change column is tick ...thats why you are not able to change it and its grey ....if dont select this you will be able to change it
Thanks

Partner roles in Vendor master record

Hi all
can some one explain me how to enter the partner roles in vendor master record
In sap help i didnt understood this point
"When working with partner roles, you must maintain the following settings:
Separate vendor master records must exist for all the partners of a vendor that are to be entered in that vendors master record."
what does it mean
suppose i am creating vendor master record 1234
Vendor master record:1234
LF 1234       /*vendor
BA1234       /*ordering address
i have to click 1234 in BA and select 'parner' at the top to enter the ordering adress right ...
what is the 'Separate vendor master records must exist for all the partners' mean
it has to be like this?
Vendor master record:1234
LF 1234       /*vendor
BA1235       /*ordering address
1235 vendor master record is created earlier and ordering address maintained ??
please help me in this record, any user manual or some screen shots to explain how to maintain partner roles in vendor master record
regards
Bhushan.N

Hi Sasi ,
What Ramkrishna explained is correct. I will try to illustrate it with the example.
Suppose you are creating a vendor 1234 which is Head office of the supplier where you need to place the order. But goods will be supplied from Pune plant so you should enter 1235 againts partner function GS , here 1235 is seperate vendor master record with Pune plant details & it must exist in the system so that you can use it as a partner function Hope this has cleared your doubts.
Similarly you vcan create other partner functions like payee,ordering party etc.

Anand

Partner Role not coming when creating the Vendor Master

Hi all
There is a standrd role AZ.
There is a standrd Partner Determination procedure L1.
The role AZ is assigned to the Partner Determination procedure L1.
When creating the vendor master in MK01 the role is not coming in the list of partner function.
For Document types there is a standard shema 0002.
The role AZ has also been assigned to doc type.
What can be the reason.
Is the assignment against doc type at all required.
Please suggest.

SETTINGS IN VENDOR MASTER RECORD->DEFINE PARTNER SCHEMA
« THEN ASSIGN PARTNER SCHEMA
Step 4
Define Permissible Partner Role Per Account Group
IMG->MATERIAL MANAGEMENT->PURCHASING->PARTNER DETERMINATION -

>PARTNER SETTINGS IN PURCHASING DOCUMENTS ->DEFINE PERMISSION
PARTNER SCHEMAS
And then
ASSIGN PARTNER SCHEMAS TO DOCUMENT TYPE
Once you have this configuration then you change your vendor in easy access menu (XK02-select partner function) define the partner roles.

BAPI_PO_CREATE1 is not defaulting all the partner role in the PO

Hi All,
I am facing a problem while Purchase Uploads using BAPI_PO_CREATE1 in the LSMW via Idoc .
The BAPI is not behaving same as Txn ME21n .
In the Txn ME21n when we enter the Vendor the partner tab is automatically filled with all the Partner roles .
While when we use BAPI it is only filing the Partner role with a single partner role VN.
We are sending the sturcture partner role as blank because we wanted it to be defaulted as it is in Txn ME21N.
During the program analysis we found the following :
BAPI is calling the Function Module MM_PARTNER_SELECT which try to fill the Partner function
using WYT3 table . The table Wyt3 has the plant field as empty for that particular Vendor.
The BAPI is using the plant to determine the partner roles .
While in Txn ME21n the plant field is not used for determining the partner role .
In txn Me21n once we change the vendor entered initially & then again re enter the initial vendor number
then it behaves like BAPI & only display the single partner role .
Kindly advice .
Regards,
Anurag Goel

Hi All ,
FYI
We found the solution for defaulting partner role using BAPI_PO_CREATE1,It is a customization issue .
We have check the Higher level indicator ( Search at higher level ) in the customization Txn OLME Under Partner Determination -
> Partner setting in Purchasing document -
>Define partner schemas
If this indicator is not set, the system only transfer partner roles that are maintained at plant level .
Best regards,
Anurag Goel .
