R/3 to CRM: Automatic replication of Prospect customer

Hi Guys
We are downloading Business Partner data from R/3 to CRM , Manual download of BP'S (Initial Load->start) is working fine . we are creating prospect customer in R/3 through CRM Action Box call the moment we create the prospect customer in R/3 it should automatically replicate in CRM with out initiating manual down load .
pls help what settings to be done inorder to download BP'S automatically
Thanks in advance
Warm regards
Rajasekhar

Hi madhu,
Have you done the Intial load for the object "CUSTOMER_MAIN". Once the download of this object is done, Delta load for business partners to flow from R/3 to CRM and vice-versa will be activated automatically.
Please check the transaction R3AC4, where you should identify the Object calss entry as BUPA and RFC destination as your R/3 system. If not please make that entry, then delta will happen automatically
As vikas suggested, please make sure the PIDE settings, where you should assign R/3 prospect account group to CRM classification "C" and Number grouping.
And also check the BDOCS in Transaction SMW01.
Rewards points if it helps

CRM - Automatic Return Delivery for Customer Owened Repair sales order

Hi Guys,
We are implementing Customer Owned Repair sales order Process in CRM and requirement is that once order gets replicated in ECC, automatic Return delivery should be created.
We have following settings done,
1. Order Type ZREP has automatic delivery creation set : A
2. Item category has special stock indicator E and and Returns
3. schedule line category IR has 653 Movement with special Stock E and availability is not flagged.
so in this configuration, when i create Order Manually, Return delivery gets created automatically even if there is Zeor stock (Schedule line confirms the Qty) but while Order gets replicated from CRM it does not because schedule line does not confirm the qty (Zero Qty).
Please advise on this asap as we are in verge of delivery and facing this issue.
Regards,
Dharmesh.

Hello Peter,
Regarding Posting of Goods Issue for Spare Parts in SAP R/3 Materials Management,
The data posted depends on the logistics scenario(s) that you use. The system therefore first determines the logistics scenario defined for the combination of transaction type, item category, service organization, and other relevant information required for the scenario (for example, movement type or special stock indicator in SAP R/3).
Availability information informs you whether the service parts are currently in stock. Each service part item generates a reservation in the back end system, which can be used to trigger an early procurement process.
To know more about the same refer the below link:

Replication of Prospects from crm to r\3

hello Experts
is there any way to stop the replication of prospects from crm to r/3.....
we are facing a problem with out validating the prospect the prospects are replicating in r/3...
can u please help me out in this
thanks in advance
regards
sreeram

Shweta is right about the PIDE setting in R/3, but this does stop only the update in R/3, not the sending of prospects towards R/3.
To do it correctly, you need to create new subscriptions for the R/3:
1. Delete the subscription, publication and replication object on BUPA_MAIN in SMOEAC
2. Create a new intelligent replication object with filter on IS_CUSTOMER with option EQ (which means you want only customers to be replicated). Alternatively you can create a filter on IS_PROSPECT and option NE
3. You create the appropriate publication and subscription and assign it to the R/3 site
Now only BP's with the customer flag will get replicated (or those without the prospect flag). The customer flag will get set usually automatically with the customer role or can be manually set in the classification tab of role customer (field BPISCUST), but the prospect flag will stay if you turn the prospect into a customer.
So you need to make sure that when setting the BPISCUST flag that the BPISPROS flag is unset, when you do the alternative filtering on IS_PROSPECT (manually or in a BADI on customer save).

Automatic replication of Configuration from R/3 (ECC) to CRM 2007

Hi all,
We would like to set up an automatic replication of configuration maintained in R/3, e.g. Customer group 1, Payment terms, Incoterms, etc.. in order to secure consistency between R/3 and CRM as well as reduce work load.
As I understand, Customer data (customer_main) is supported by SAP but how about Configuration entries?
Is it possible?
Is it standard?
What is the way forward?
Your input is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
//Anders

Don't allow changing documents in CRM after replication to R3

Hello,
We have applied the scenario A for the replication of sales orders in our client. So, this means that the orders can be replicated in both R3 and CRM system and all the changes are replicated. SO, the orders are always consistent in both systems.
Nevertheless we would need to apply a different scenario for the replication of complaints as Return orders. We would need to implement the following scenario:
1.- Creation of complaint in CRM
2.- Replication to R3 if the complaint is free of errors
3.- Leave the Complaint in CRM unchangeable for all the users.
4.- The return order should be modifiable in R3 and all the changes made FROM R3 should be seen in CRM. (Changes/Delivery number/Invoice number... , etc.)
Could any one let me know how could we apply this scenario? We are working with CRM7.0.
Thanks in advance,
Regards.

Hello ,
normally the User status behaviour (as recommended in the previous msg) will work. In case you do not want to add any user status then you can do a little ABAP in the AUTH_CHECK Badi and put control on the System status which is in any case maintained automatically.
after the document is distributed to ECC, there is a specific status set. you can refer tables CRM_LINK, CRM_JEST, CRM_JCDS to understand the behaviour and then put little condition in the AUTH CHECK badi.
hope this helps.

CRM Contract replication to IS-U

Hi Guys,
I'm facing a problem in CRM contract replication to IS-U. Could you please anyone tell me what are the internal statuses that should be set at the contract header and contract item which will trigger automatic contract replication to IS-U.
Thank you.
Best Regards,
Santhosh.

Hi,
there is no status that automatically starts the replication. There are just statuses that PREVENT the replication. If those status are in place, the replication will be surpressed. Those are: I2401, I2402, I2404, I2405, I2413. I hope the list is complete. If one of thoese status is active, the replication will not take place. Note 1609458 should prvide details on status I2406 and I2407.
Kind regards

Automatic replication of vendor masters from SAP R/3 to EBP

Hi
For this issue I found the below program and steps to do the automatic replication of vendor master from SAP R/3 to EBP
PROGRAM BBP_VENDOR_SYNC
The program BBP_VENDOR_SYNC automatically synchronizes the backend vendors with the SRM system.
To run the program BBP_VENDOR_SYNC, you first have to make the following settings:
Path in the Implementation Guide (IMG):
Supplier Relationship Management --> SRM Server -->Technical Basic Settings -->Settings for Vendor Synchronization --> Make Global Settings
Supplier Relationship Management --> SRM Server -->Technical Basic Settings -->Settings for Vendor Synchronization --> Define Settings for Each Backend System
Then you have to make the following settings in transaction SA38:
· Enter program BBP_VENDOR_SYNC.
· Click on the pushbutton Background.
· Enter the report name BBP_VENDOR_SYNC.
· Either define a new variant or use an existing variant ( The new Variant as Test Vendor)
· Click on the pushbutton Schedule.
· Enter the job.
· Define the start date.
· Either schedule once or schedule periodically. Then you have to define the period interval.
I followed the above mention steps and I am able to setup the Schedule on timely basis and the job was completed successfully, but the vendors are not replicated successfully .
I am receiving the below error in transaction code SLG1.
1.The Specified Node does not Exist in the Org. Plan(Message no. BBP_VENR006).
2.No Vendor Replicated from Backend MD1CLNT(Message no. BBP_VENR017).
Please check and advice.
Thanks & Regards
Sada

Hi Sadasivam,
Make Global Settings
Use
In Customizing for vendor synchronization, you define between which mySAP or ERP backend systems and the EBP System you wish to automatically synchronize the vendor master data. This setting is necessary in order to start a job-based execution of the synchronization, so that the vendor master data that is newly created or changed in the backend is updated regularly in the EBP System.
Requirements
You wish to use the automatic vendor synchronization functionality.
In the Implementation Guide (IMG) activity Define RFC Destinations, you have defined the RFC destinations for your systems.
Under Define Backend Systems, you have defined the backend systems for your systems.
Activities
Customizing for Vendor Synchronization consists of two parts. In the first part you make those settings that are valid for all backend systems. In the activity Make Settings for Each Backend System you can define or display detail data for the individual backend systems.
Make Global Settings
By setting the indicator Create New Vendors Also, you can determine that those vendors newly created in the backend systems are also newly created during the synchronization. If this indicator is not set, the only data updated is that of the vendors in the Enterprise Buyer System whose data was changed in the backend systems.
Note:
If you have not yet made an entry here, an empty screen appears when you start the activity. To make the settings, choose New entries or press F5.
Further Settings:
Carry Out Address Check for Duplicates :
Organizational Unit in EBP for the Vendor
Enter the eight-digit number, for example, 50001234.
Vendor Number Assignment Type
In the dropdown box, choose the method with which the number is to be allocated when a new vendor is created, for example, internal number allocation.
Hope this makes you more clear. My mail i.d is [email protected]

R/3 BP role ship to party from prospective customer not updating in to CRM

Hi,
When we change Business partner role to ship-to-party from prospective customer in R/3 not updating in to SAP CRM .
Please suggest the solution for this.
Thanks,
Naveen Kumar.

Dear Rekha,
I have verified but No issues in PIDE, looks everything is fine.
Account Groups 0001 to 0005 were asssigned to Classification B.
But initially when I started replicating customers all the roles were created as Sold-to-Party in CRM irrespective of their role in R/3. We have applied Note: 914437. Since then the issue got resolved.
Pls suggest me in this regard.

Ship to Party in Prospective Customer

Hi All
I am facing problem with Prospective Customer. In account group 0005 there is no Ship to, Bill to and Payer as partner.
which is logical in this scenario.
But when I create a sales document it asks for a Ship to party in the initial screen and does not let me go further.
My doubt is how would I bring Ship to party here for this Propective customer.
Regards,
Neeraj Srivastava

Hi neeraj,
as i told u earlier, u cannot do inquiry or quotation or order with prospective customer..u only can do Sales Activity with him..
This is a special feature available in SD which is similar to Lead Management in CRM. Lead (Prospective Customer) make a phone call or mail you. If he agrees to do business with you, then you can treat him as a Regular Customer.
Use: By following this process, you can create a sales activity called Computer Aided Selling.
Procedure: To define a Sales Activity you should follow the below mentioned SAP Menu path.
1. Create Customer under u201CProspective Customeru201D Account Group (Account Group-0005) by using Transaction Code XD01
2. Create a Contact Person for this customer by using Transaction Code VAP1
3. Go to Sales Activity screen by using Transaction Code VC01N
4. Enter type of Sales Activity
5. Enter your Prospective Customer, Contact Person, Sales Summary and other details.
IF THE CUSTOMER AGREES TO DO BUSINESS WITH US,THEN U HAVE TO CONVERT HIM AS A REGULAR CUSTOMER. then u can raise inquiry,quotation or sales order from that sales activity itself (from VC01N)..then u can see the sales summary of that customer also..
hope it helps..
reward points if helpful..

Error while changing Account Group for Prospective Customer

Dear All,
I am getting an error when the account group of a prospective customer needs to be changed to Sold to Party
The planned change is not allowed as the following groups would be masked by the new account group,
S Group Group Name M Group Name
V D315 Shipping 030 Rail Specifications.
Please let me know what is the reason for this error and as per my knowledge even if the no range is different for both these partner functions the system should allow me to change the account group however the earlier no given to prospective customer will still exist even if the prospective customer number is changed to sold to party please let me know otherwise.
Kind Regards

Hi,
Go to KOH2
Select the order by pressing F9. Now place the cursor where you want to put the order group. i.e on same level or Lower level.

HI here are the few Question from ASAP methodology:
Questionnaire for Initial Business Blueprint Design Workshop
What is the current systems environment, which exists today, in support of the Planning Process? Please include all primary source systems / interfaces currently in use as well as any outbound interfaces / systems which receive data from the planning Process. If systems documentation exists please provide.
What changes to the above process are expected as a result of the current implementation and/or other projects currently underway?
Does the Company have SAP-BW installed and if so which version? For what purpose is the BW currently being used? Is there existing content within the Business Warehouse, which would potentially be utilised in the Planning Process (i.e. Actual Data / Master and Meta-Data)?
If BW is currently in place, what are the primary data sources for that Master / Transactional data which will be utilised in the Planning Process?
Is the intent to develop a global template for rollout across the organisation?
What are the key business benefits which it is expected the implementation will deliver?
What is the current organisational structure of the Business Units, in which planning is to be implemented?
What are the key characteristics or dimensions by which planning will be performed?
Approximately how many characteristic values would exist for each of these key dimensions/characteristics (i.e. Number of accounts, cost centres, product masters etc.)?
What is the source for Master Data and Meta-Data (i.e. Hierarchies) for these characteristics?
What is the planning period (annual, monthly, weekly etc.)?
How many different plan/budget versions are created by the Company and what is the purpose of each?
DATA SOURCES
What source data is required to support the planning process (i.e. Actual results)?
Where would this data be sourced?
Does an existing interface currently exist to extract this information from the source system?
Can this data be obtained via the use of SAP BW Data Extraction from R/3?
DATA INPUT
How do users currently input / process plan data?
Are input templates/models available for analysis?
How many different data input templates/models currently exist?
What changes to the input process are expected?
Is WEB enabled input of data a requirement?
Approximately how many users currently provide input into the planning process? How many users are expected subsequent to introduction of the new system?
Where Excel templates/models are currently used, would the intent be to integrate these models into the core BPS functionality or alternately to maintain the existing Excel spreadsheets and link to SEM-BPS?
Are centralised templates to be developed or will different users within the organisation require the ability to create their own business models locally?
AUTHORISATION AND CONTROL
Is control over access to either plan and / or reported data required?
By which characteristics does plan access need to be restricted.
What are the primary roles within the Planning Process? Obtain a brief overview of functions and any required restrictions on the ability to either plan and/or view data.
STATUS AND TRACKING
Is there a requirement to monitor the current status of the Planning Process?
Does this monitoring include the requirement for plan data to be submitted for review and approval at different levels within the organisation?
If monitoring and approval is required please define the current review and approval process, additionally highlight any desired changes to this process.
REPORTING/ OUTBOUND INTERFACES
What Plan Reports are generated today?
What new and or additional reports are desired?
What is the current process for report distribution?
Are there desired changes to this process?
Is WEB Based Reporting Required?
Are third Party Reporting Products currently utilised if so which ones?
Is it expected that they will continue to be going forward?
Are Published Quality Reports required (I.E. Requirement to utilise Crystal)?
Will Reports / Queries be defined centrally or is the desire to allow end-users full ad-hoc query capability?
Are there any requirements to provide for Outbound Interfaces passing plan data from BPS to other Systems? If so what data needs to be passed, to which system and how often?
Is there a requirement to retract the plan data back to SAP R/3? Is so what data needs to be passed and to which modules within R/3?

Classification by role sales org (prospect, customer, competitor).URGENT!!

Hi All,
Could someone please help me in customizing the Classification by
Classification customizing:
- Role by sales organization (prospect, customer, competitor)
- Ranking by country (gold, silver, normal, problematic)
This can be done in the IMG>Master Data>BP--> define classification.
The criteria should be role as Sales Org and ranking as Country with their respective attributes as mentioned above.
Please help me guys!!!
U can also mail me at [email protected]
thanks in advance ....

Hi Chin,
You need to maintain the sales organization field in transaction code O7F1. Then, this field is available for open item selection on incoming payment.
In the same screen, you can rearrange and bring this field on the first few fields of selection.
Also, you can update the same field on O7F3, this will be useful for making search for selection of open items.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.
Rgds,

Pls clarify.
Thanks in advance.
Reg,
JJ

hi,
this is to inform you that,
i refered SAP LIABRARY intensely to give solution to you. but invain.
Prospective Customer - you mean, the customer who is in the first stage of discuission but he identified himself as PROSPECT for our product.
you can use 0005 account group for the same & this account group can be used only when a customer who is in stage of discuission and most of the integration fields will not support as 0001 account group.
0005 - will be having different number ranges & changing from 0005 to 0001 will be difficuilt and the integration fields has to support for the change and it SAP it will not happen.
hope this clears your issue.
