RE-FX :- Linking of Business partner to customer for rental Agreement

While linking BP to Customer it is giving the following error:-
Business partner cannot be assigned to 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.

Difference between Business Partner and Customer in ISU?

Is there any difference between business partner and customer in ISU?
if yes then wht?

Hi,
Yes Business Partner is a broad term used in ISU for various roles. A business Partner can be a Customer for company, an employee or even a vendor.
It depends on what role business partner has been given. Initially by default all Business Partners are assigned a default role "Business Partner (Gen.)". Later it can be changed to any role like Employee, Vendor, etc.
Business Partner with role "Contract Partner" is normally the end Customer which I believe you are referring to.

Model business partner in CUSTOMER repository

Hi Anyone have tried to model business partner in CUSTOMER repository?
The situation is like this:
a customer has many "sale data" entries, where many business partner can be assigned to a "sale data" entry. "Sale Data" is a qualified table field in CUSTOMER.
Thanks for your suggestions!

Hi Vinay,
Can you give more details to set up business partner in Sales Data (qualified table). What do you mean "multi-valued table for business partner". Are you refering the similar steps suggested by Rajani?
Another point is we are centually maintain customer in MDM, Customer data needs to syndicate using xml schema DEBMDM05. Multiple occurance partner entries needs to fill DEBMDM05-E1KNVPM elements: PARVW(Partner function),KUNN2(Cust# of BP) based on multiple occurence of Sales Data entries.
This is what I am doing:
1. Create business partner flat table to has two fields:
Partner function, Cust#
2. Create a qualifier field in Sales Data table. Its type is Lookup[Flat] (multi-valued), and point to the table created in step 1.
Please let me know if if I am doing the right thing.
Re: Rajani, Tanveer:
- business partner data comes initially from R3
- BP data will be maintained in MDM same as a customer entry.
- BP entry has to be linked to customer entry with account group as "Sold to".
I can use Relationships to main the sold-to <-> busniess partner(shipto, billto, payer...) assignment, but can not syndicate the relationships to XML file(DEBMDM06).
- BP assignement is better to be maintained under Sales Data(qualified table) as it is related Sales Area.
thanks!

Creation of Business partner from customer

Dear Friends,
I am trying to create business partner from customer thorugh T-code FLBPD1 but unable to do so. Also. whenever i create a customer, a corresponding business partner is automatically created which is not desirable. Rather system should allow me to create business partners from customer separately when required. Kindly suggest any solution for the same.

Hi,
please have a look at this threat

Difference between Business Partner and Customer Master repository

What is the difference between Business Partner and Customer Master repository ?
Is the Business Partner repository to be used in case CRM is also in landscape ? or Customer master repository is good enough ?
Sandesh

Hi,
If the landscape has both CRM and SAP ECC a business partner repository model should be good.
If it has ECC alone.a Customer Repository is needed.
But when there are many legacy systems which also contains master data fields, the standard business repository provided by SAP wont provide a good solution as it wont cover the legacy master fields..In this case its better to go for a customized repository and you can use the standard repository as a reference.
Thanks

my business partner signed up for the acrobat xl pro, and added me to the account. it send me an email to download and install, but after it downloads, nothing happens, can't double click on it to open, it just does nothing on the double click. I tried to download again, and still same thing. I am on a mac with latest OS. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

he is on a pc, we bought a subscription to the license and was told it's 180 a year or 14.99 monthly per user, on the business plan. So the sales rep on the phone walked us through adding the people who will be added to account who will need a license to use. the sales rep said that we just need to go to that section and add users and it will email the user a link to download the file and install

Business partner is customer and vendor

Hello,
There are situation when a customer is also a vendor. How can I link the two together in reports and so on?
Thank you,
Irina Stanca

Hi Irina,
You could use a UDF on the business partner to link the 2 BPs together. For example, BPs that are linked will have the BP Code of the corresponding BP in the UDF whereas BPs that are not linked will have a blank or null value in the UDF. You could then use this UDF to filter or group BPs in reports. Whether this will work or not depends on the kind of reports you wish to write and which reporting tool you are using.
Hope this helps,
Owen

Relink CRM Business partner with customer in ECC

Hi all,
In our organization, most business partner master data is automatically replicated with ECC.
Table BUT0ID contains the link between a BP and customer on ECC.
For some reason it happens regularly that a CRM BP gets a wrong link.
I.e. BP 80001234 is by accedent linked to 80001000, but it should be 80001234.
I'm asked to provide a solution to change this link.
With BAPI's 'BAPI_IDENTIFICATION_DELETE', 'BAPI_IDENTIFICATION_CHANGE' and/or 'BAPI_IDENTIFICATION_REMOVE' it's easy to modify table BUT0ID properly.
But whatever I change, the replication is still carried out on the wrong customer.
Afters hours of debugging and tracing I couldn't find the reason. Is there perhaps an other table to change?
Did any of you have the 'golden tip' for me to fully Relink?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Sijmen

Hi Sijmen,
Try FM bupa_identification_change. Ii think that will work for you.
Thanks,
Kumar.

Derivation of Business Partner as Customer

Hi,
I am an abap developer and I have made changes to a smartform wherein I need to get the values of business partner from table BUT000. I used the select statement as below:
Select SINGLE * from BUT000 into WA_FS_BUT000
where partner = v_partner.
v_partner has been declared in the global definition as v_partner type CRMT_PARTNER_NO. However to get the value from BUT00 I have used the following piece of code:
SELECT SINGLE sobid FROM hrp1001 INTO v_partner WHERE otjid = is_orgman_h-sales_org
AND subty = 'B207'.
This works except for one problem. The type of business partner is wrong. I need to get the Business partner who is a customer. Is there any HRP* table where I can give the otjid and get the customer?

Hi,
The component GUID, do you mean CRMD_PARTNER-GUID?
If yes, the CRMD_PARTNER-PARTNER_NO is the BUT000-PARTNER_GUID.
Best regards,
Maggie

Copying info from business partner to customer

Dear SD gurus,
The creation of a new customer is done by Tcode: FPP1 and the XD02 for adding additional information (company code and SD spesific)
The change will be done thru Tcode: FPP2 or XD02 depending on what information that are going to be changed,
If we mark a customer for deletion. Then they change the same customer in Tcode: FPP2, the deletion mark disappears from the customer without any warning
I suspect that the problem is related to the copying of information between the business partner tables (BUT000 etc) and the customer tables (KNA1 etc).
Is there any customization that define the rules for the transfer of information between business partners and customers ?
because of this only change log also not updating in customer master.
dear gurus please any inputs really helpful
i will reward maximum points

Using Business Partner versus Customer/Vendor master

What could be the business scenarios in ERP2005, when Business Partner (BP) functionality should be used rather (or addition) than older Customer/Vendor master?
I know that in CRM the BP is mandatory, but still CRM can interact with ERP's customer master using middleware replication. I also know that some ERP industry solutions like IS-U uses BP instead of customer master.
I know that when maintaining a partner with tcode BP, also the customer master tables (KNA*) gets updated if partner has a Sales role. Thus system automatically updates both BP and customer master data. But does it work other way round?
But if no CRM nor ERP industry solutions are within current solution landscape are there any other business scenarios why BP should be chosen instead of customer/vendor master?
In a virgin ERP2005 project, is it a good practise to start with BP already from the beginning even if benefits of it are not yet recognized?
I know that many ERP2005 projects are live without BP, so a it cannot be a "must" at least.
best regards,
Kim

Hi,
Just to check, try running from the synchronization cockpit for your scenario from the master data reconcillation. Give your BP number and try running BP -- Customer sync. In this you can check the PPO logs and check where the error is. It will show the exact error you are getting.
For BP, you can also try creating it in FI customer role, which will have all the customer master data.

Ravi

CRM Business Partner and Customer Mapping

Hi,
I wanted to know, how do we find out, that a BDOC of type BUPA_MAIN in SMW3_BDOC will be a customer or a Business Partner.
Is there some way to know this thing.
Regards,
Rishav

Hi Rishav,
Here is how you can find it out.
In transaction smw01, you get get the BP number. In trancaction BP in CRM. you can check the role of the BP. Then you can check the clasification that is mapped to this role of BP. Then in ERP go to transaction PIDE and check the mapping from from CRM->ERP. There you can find the Account group mapped to this classicication.You can find all the customer account groups in ERP using transaction OVT0.
All these account groups would be mapped to customers in ERP.
Hope this clarifies your query.
Best Regards,
Shourav
