Rename accounts in SAP R/3

We need to rename several hundred accounts in R/3 Enterprise system to meet new naming conventions. We should be able to keep the history of transactional data in the system. What is the best way?

SAP offers a customer specific service to perform mass renaming of users including re-assigning of all related data. It's a highly customer specific service, because of quite different requirements of the customers who are planning such a renaming task.
Please contact the "SAP System Landscape Optimization" group via mail <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>.
The "SAP System Landscape Optimization" group has the quick link <a href="http://service.sap.com/slo">SLO</a> in the service market place describing the standard services of the group (but without any information about the very customer specific user renaming service.)
Kind regards

Rename User in SAP Netweaver - how to get user-dependent object transferred

Hello group
Recently the rules for coding of Userids within our company changed.
As a consequence we would have to rename all SAP userids according to the new rules.
However, user rename in SU01 doesn't take along the user-dependent entries in several SAP tables where for instance user-specific variants are stored.
Is there a decent solution to this ?
Jo

Hello Jo,
The closest thing I can think of is the SAP System Landscape Optimization services. I have only ever once been involved in Chart of Account conversions with them about 5 years back, but that was successfull
Here is a thread which asked the same question and some more information for you:

Create sales revenue account in SAP R/3

Hi there,
I need to find the path for creating "sales revenue account" and "sales revenue deductions account" in SAP R/3
I will appreciate suggestions for the same.
Thanks
Nishant

Hi Nishant,
The SAP NetWeaver MDM forum is not appropriate for your R/3-based query.
Better try the ERP Financials forum (SAP ERP Financials) instead.

If there is no accounting document; SAP should not allow users to print

Dear Gurus,
Is there a standard way that,
--if there is no accounting document; SAP should not allow users to print invoice?
How can I do it?
Regards,

You can either use Tcode NACE for output procedure pr follow following path in SPRO:
IMG - SD - Basic Functions - Output control - Output Determination - Maintain Output Determination for Billing Documents - Maintain Output Determination Procedure
There for your output procedure used for the desired output type maintain requirement routine as 62 : Billing doc released to acctng.
This requirement is met if the billing document is complete checking the header, pricing, and all items and has already been passed to financial accounting. The requirement also checks that the document is not relevant for an invoice list. This requirement can be assigned to billing document output condition types that should only be processed when the billing document is complete and forwarded to accounting. This requirement can only be used with billing documents.

Oracle Logon Account in SAP/3

Is it feasible to set up an Oracle account in SAP R/3?
Our DBA says that he does not have an Oracle account himself but works with the Oracle database through R/3 tools.

Hi,
R/3 uses, like many other Applications, a single or less accounts in the database (but one is required). Not every R/3-User has an account in the database. R/3 has its own user management.

BAPI to create an account in SAP Banking

I'm trying to create an account in SAP Banking using BAPI BAPI_BCA_ACCOUNT_CREATE.
The path for account creation is given below for reference.....
SAP Menu->Financial Services->Account Management->Account->Account Master Data->Create Account (Transaction BCA_CN_ACCT_01)
        The execution of BAPI is successful and it's generating an internal id. How to get the Account number from this internal id?
        May be, internally it's reserving an account number. For example, If last created account was IN/969696/0000000122/, after running the BAPI, if I try to create an account manually again, then it's creating an account with number IN/969696/0000000124/. But I'm unable to view A/c IN/969696/0000000123/ created by the BAPI in BCA_CN_ACCT_03 as it says the account number doen't exist.
       The same process is working fine when i'm using BDC for transaction BCA_CN_ACCT_01 and I'm able to see the account number in BCA_CN_ACCT_03.
I'm calling BAPI_BCA_ACCOUNTAM_SAVE_ALL and BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT after calling the BAPI as well.
Is there any other process involved? Do I have to call any other BAPI to get the account no in external format?
Kindly help.........

Hello Keshav,
                       Thanks a lot for your reply......
The BAPI BAPI_CREATE_ACPOOL is not available in SAP Banking. Currently, I've done it with BDC, to provide a temporary solution.
KIndly share sample code or documentations for this BAPI, if someone has worked on it.

Set default role for Account in SAP CRM 7.0

We are using SAP CRM 7.0
When an end user creates a new account there is a section called
"Role" sub assignment block with entries like "Competitor", "Account", Contact Person, etc.
I want by default when you create an account that the role Account is specified in there.
I want it done automatically and do not want to rely on the end user to seelct this.
I was able to do this with contacts by using an SAP note to set this for cotnact person.
But does anyone know how to do it for an Account ?
All I want to do is that when an account is created the system automatically sets the role as "Account".
Thanks,
Jon

Hi Jon,
For any code changes in bsp components we need it's z-instance and that we get after enhancing the respective entity for eg views, context nodes etc..
In case you are not familiar with the enhancement, please refer to some thread which explain about the component enhancement concept.
Coming to this requirement..
You need to enhance bp_roles component, then enhance rolelist view and roles context node.. redefine the GET_V_PARTNERROLE method.. copy the parent class code and do the necessary changes to manipulate the entries in gt_ddlb_add
Check the statement at line no 107..
gr_ddlb_roles->set_selection_table( it_selection_table = gt_ddlb_add ).
Just before above statment call, manipulate gt_ddlb_add to keep the required role value at index 1..
Another thing in my test system i can't see any role as "Account" under SPRO customizing "Business Partner Roles" instead "Business Partner (Gen.)" is available, don't know if you are able to see Account Role in the Roles DDLB..
i would suggest debug the get_v_partnerrole method once at line no 107 see the entries in gt table you will get an idea what you need to change.
Hope this helps..
Cheers,
Sumit Mittal

Cost Accounting in SAP B1

Does someone has a good documentatión about de Cost Accounting functionality in SAP Business One?
SAP documentation is very poor to configure the tool, we have tried to créate a hierarchy of cost centers but whe we post we don´t see the postings reflected in the hierarchy.
Help will be highly appreciated, our customer has high expectations on cost centers!!!!

Hi,
For cost accounting navigation is
Financials --> Cost accounting
Step 1
Dimentions
Define as "Department" in Dimentions
Step 2
Profit Centers
Define Profit centers for
A1, A2, B, C.....
select the dimention as " Department"
Step 3
Distribution Rule
Define the distribution rule for the expenses say Electricity expenses for A1 --%, A2 %, A3% like wise define the apportionate the percentages.
Now you can able to select the distribution rule in your JV entry.
Pl. try and I hope you can design the template for report in "Cost center Hierarchy" window and you can set the formula also.
Select this template in the Profitcenter report and hope you will get the report as you want.

Loading Chart of Accounts from SAP into Account dim in BPC automatically

Hi,
for my client I would like to take a predefined flat file from SAP containing chart of account details (account id, description and parent) and load and process them automatically using dtsx packages in BPC 7.0 MS.
Also, I want the package to able to be able to change details when it finds an already existing account id (e.g. if the description changes) and only for the properties contained in the flat file (i.e. keep the property values the same in BPC for those properties which are not in the extract for existing account records), or to add new accounts for those that don't exist. I don't want the existing dimension completely replaced, as the SAP file won't contain info for fields like ACCTYPE, or TYPEELIM for example.
I find the help in Data Manager extremely confusing and am not sure which bits are current or have been superceeded.
I am an application consultant with limited knowledge of DTS/ SSIS and I wonder if someone can give me a step by step detail of what I must do to achieve this. I am sure that many people would like to do something similar.
regards
Scott.

Here is what you need to do in the SSIS package.
1. You need to create exactly same structure as MBRAccount Table. Let's say tmpMBRAccount
2. Export Account data from SAP as FlatFile
3. You need a Script to fill in ACCTYPE or other properties that doesn't exist in SAP but mandatory for BPC account dimension. This script will change exported Flatfile.
4. Import step3 flatfile into tmpMBRAccount table.
    Some users import data into MBRtable directly but it is not good because if error happens,
    there is no way to roll back until restore table from backup database.
    If users use temporary table as we do, Admin task will backup and roll back if error happens.
5. Run Admintask and point tmpMBRAccount table as source table.
6. You need another script to update Excel member sheet from updated mbr table.
    If you don't have this script, data member will be inconsistent between excel member sheet and MBR table.
Some customer add more steps to validate members or error handling.
If you are not an expert of SSIS, I think you need a technical consultant for doing this.
There are an example package in BPC sample package folder but it is very basic one.
Thank you.
