Replicating ECC / R/3 reference customer

Hi!
I'm setting up our CRM5 system and have some problems with trans CRMC_BUPA_CONSUM.
When I do the initial download I get the error message
Could not create reference business partner
Message no. CRM_BUPA_MAPPING302
The reference customer has been created in the R/3 system.
I can't find anything in the logs that might be causing this.
Does anybody know what might be causing this problem?
regards

Solved it!
The reference customer in the R/3 system was not complete, some parameters was missing.
I changed the ref. cust. to another customer and it worked!

ECC configuration with reference to SRM

Hi,
I have noticed that in the ECC customization that in IMG - Integration with other SAP components - SRM- the central contract node is not appearing to define the conditions from SRM to ECC.
Is there any activation of this tab.
Sunil

The logic of condition mapping between SRM central contracts and ERP replicated contracts is as follows:
First the system checks the conditions mapping as defined in Customizing.
If no mapping condition has been defined in Customizing the system checks whether an ERP condition with the same ID exists.
If no mapping condition has been defined in Customizing the SRM condition won't be replicated.
The conditions mapping between SRM central contract conditions and ERP replicated contract conditions can be customized here:
IMG -->Integration with Other mySAP.com Components --> Supplier Relationship Managment -->Central Contract -->Assignment of Conditions

How to delete the Reference customer in CRM ?? and what is the purpose for it ?

what's is the purpose of using the Reference customer in CRM ?
and can any one help me changing the Reference customer in CRM as i already assigned one and can't change it ??
and how to use it .????.....

HI.
Do you mean refresh the client ? if that is the case, i think you are posting in wrong forum since this one is for People Centric User Interface. Try in Customer "Relationship Management (CRM) - General & Framework".

Deletion of Reference customer in CRM

Hi all,
How do i delete a reference Customer in CRM?
the Reference customer numbers in R/3 and CRM are different.
We are basically up loading the master data from R/3 to CRM so that the number ranges should be identical.
can any help in this regard?
thanks in advance.
R,
mdvsapcrm.

Hello R,
Once a reference customer is assigned, it cannot be changed or deleted via the Function Module BUP_BUPA_DELETE or via transaction CRMC_BUPA_CONSUM.
If you do not have any consumers assigned, it is possible to directly delete the reference business partner from the table CRMC_BUPA_CONSUM.
If there were consumers assigned, you could change the attributes of original business partner as opposed to changing the reference customer and assigning a new business partner.
Note that a reference business partner is also mainatained in ERP (transaction VD07).
Rather test this carefully.
Good luck, Sascha

I can't think of a reason, but why not create a mail, attach ref, and
then edit/change to appointment, complete the appointment and send.
According to NTS, it's a defect that probably will not be fixed since it's a GroupWise 7 Client issue.

VD07 - Maintaining Reference Customer for consumer.

Dear All,
One of my client needs to create a Consumer for which he needs to enter a reference customer.We maintain reference Customer in VD07.In VD07 we can maintain only one Customer as reference customer who shall be extended to all the Company Codes.But ,when my client is trying to save the consumer system is giving Posting Error.System is looking for the Reference customer in VD07 and picking the Company code which comes first in Alphabetical order and giving auth error.Please revert back with a solution on how to proceed .
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Jolly,
I understand that some "unwanted" sales area xyz assigned to the reference customer is to be removed and it is done. Thus henceforth the creation of consumers would not have the same copied to it. Now, we are worried about the reference of this sales area in transactions which might lead to inconsistancies, which I dont think would be a problem, unless the unwanted sales area is still part of the org model and not removed. If this was deleted, then the transactions would be referrring to non existing sales area which might be a problem.

Venkat.

Re ; reference Customer

Hi,
Could any one explain the need of reference customer in CRm and which scenario we use it. Please let me know the use of t code CRMC_BUPA_CONSUM .
Regards,
Sathish Prahu.R

Hi Sathish
We use the Consumer Reference Business partner within the Webclient Call Centre context.
Specifically when a new Customer is created via the Webclient the Reference BP is used as a "Template" for the new customer.
The Reference BP must exist first before using transaction CRMC_BUPA_CONSUM. What then happens on the Webclient customer create is values such as BP Type & Role, Sales Area Data, etc are assigned to the new BP.
Hope this helps

ECC PO wtih reference to SRM PO

Hi ,
In my case PO has been crearted in SRM system, but PO has not been replicated in ECC system.
How do check for the reason why PO is not created in ECC system ?
Thanks and regards,
Amit R.

Hi
Which SRM and ECC versions are you using ?
Please implement BBP_CREATE_PO_BACK BADI or BBP_ECS_PO_OUT_BADI
FYI, In ECS, the PO will created in R/3 directly.
PO Replication to R/3
PO is "replicated" the same way with both scenarios. SRM triggers a RFC call in R/3 and BAPIS are activated (BBP_PO_CREATE and BBP_PO_SAVE*)
Difference between scenarios
WIth classic scenario, the SC following document is to be created in your R/3 backend(s). Thus you can get an PO, a PR or a stock reservation in R/3.
With extended classic the following document is to be found in SRM itself. Thus from a SC item you can get a complete PO, an incomplete PO or depending on your customizing a Sourcing cockpit (now called Sourcing Application) requirement. Additional FM are called when you tick the box "Enable Extended classic" in the IMG activity, enabling you to get a local PD.
If you need to get a stock reservation in R/3 with extended classic, you will have to switch back to classic scenario for the particular category or product with a dedicated BADI ("Control extended classic ").
Be aware that with extended classic, the PO created in R/3 is not exactly a replication. That is a "copy" with that crucial difference that the SRM PO will use a different Purchase Organization that of R/3. It enables you to centralize your purchasing. In SRM you can create a "local" Purch. Org for EMEA zone for instance while in R/3 that is rare you can purchasing above a country (because in the backend you have to produce legal documents related to one company). Those "local" (=SRM) Purch. Org. are required to enable extended classic and it makes simpler Contract management for instance (in classic scenario contracts may need to be replicated to your R/3 back end and adjusted for each back end and each Purch Org in R/3, and even for each plants).
In a nutshell with extended classic you have a PO in SRM, and this PO is assigned to a different Purch Org that of R/3. Purch Org in R/3 are determined on the basis of the "Location" (R/3 plant you have replicated from your backend into SRM).
Extended classic is required for service purchasing when you want your requesters to be able to adjust the PO price while they can not access R3. In extended classic, PO is issued from SRM and not from R3.
Do the setting in SPRO--> Cross Application Settings --> Define Backend System.
Where you need to select the Product category--> source system --> Purchase Group for the material and select in the drop down field " Always PR or Always PO". One you do the same it will work.
If you want a controlled extended classic scenario whereby once you create a Shopping cart it should create a P.R / P.O in the backend like classic scenario. You can use the BADI for this purpose which will overwrite the standard ECS settings for the particular product category / purchasing group / purchasing org.
Implement BADI : BBP_EXTLOCALPO_BADI
The following methods can be used : DETERMINE_EXTPO ,
DETERMINE_EXTPO_CREATE

Replicating ECC Data to CRM 2007 server

Hi,
I want to replicate ISU specific data from ECC server to crm 2007 server. Can you suggest any possible ways to do so.
Also forward any relevant documents at karanchopra.kc(AT)gmail(DOT)com
Thanks,
Karan Chopra

Technical master data does not exist in CRM.
You need to replicate this data into the POD in CRM.
However you might want to:
Convince your client it's not a good idea to duplicate everything to CRM, there's a reason why they are two systems
Investigate the possibilities of custom replication objects (I'm not an expert on that, but from what i've heard it's not easy to get working)
Look into the possibility of using RFC calls to access the data directly in ISU from CRM, instead of replicating it.
good luck!

ME2K Report Failed to Include New SRM PO Replicated ECC

We implemented SRM 7.0 in July 2011 and we noticed that when run ME2K (RM06K00 program) the generated report is only listing ECC POs only. Why New SRM PO replicated in ECC is not inlcuded? The reprot should include all PO types in ECC.
We also noticed that PS financial reprots such S_ALR_87013558 and CJE0 reprot strucure is to display SRM PO data correctly.
Any ideas how to fix reports.......
Edited by: Basilio Reyes on Nov 2, 2011 8:03 PM

check BBP_DOCUMENT_TAb table... if you can find the PO there with the idoc number... how many entries are there? and what are the idoc status in WE02 for those?

OWSM: How to reference Custom Step properties/parameters?

Hi,
When you define a Custom Step via a XML file. You can define properties/parameters. In the sample files that comes with OWSM (CustomAuthenticationStep.xml) Username and Password are defined. My problem is that I cannot figure out how to reference these in the Java Step source. In the sample file CustomAuthenticationStep.java there are no references. There are two class variables called expectedUsername and expectedUserPassword, but they are never set in the source? There are nothing in the Extensibility Guide about this. Anybody know how it works?
Regards Peter

I've made a couple of these now. It somehow walks through the xml file you upload and then the properties defined are matched with the appropriate get/set methods in the actual java code.
One example I had to make was to add HTTP Basic Auth headers to a request. Here is the section of the xml file.
<csw:PropertyDefinitionSet name="HTTP Basic Auth Params">
<csw:PropertyDefinition name="httpBasicAuthUsername" type="string" isRequired="true">
<csw:DisplayName>Username</csw:DisplayName>
<csw:Description>Http Basic Auth Username</csw:Description>
<csw:DefaultValue>
<csw:Absolute>USERNAME</csw:Absolute>
</csw:DefaultValue>
</csw:PropertyDefinition>
<csw:PropertyDefinition name="httpBasicAuthPassword" type="string" isRequired="true" displayType="password">
<csw:DisplayName>Http Basic Auth Password</csw:DisplayName>
<csw:Description>Password to access Private Key</csw:Description>
<csw:DefaultValue>
<csw:Absolute>PASSWORD</csw:Absolute>
</csw:DefaultValue>
</csw:PropertyDefinition>
</csw:PropertyDefinitionSet>
You then have these get/set methods at the bottom of the class I created.
public String gethttpBasicAuthUsername() {
return this._httpBasicAuthUsername;
public void sethttpBasicAuthUsername(String username) {
this._httpBasicAuthUsername = username;
public String gethttpBasicAuthPassword() {
return this._httpBasicAuthPassword;
public void sethttpBasicAuthPassword(String password) {
this._httpBasicAuthPassword = password;
Then I had this and the properties were available for use.
public class BasicAuthStep extends AbstractStep {
private String _httpBasicAuthUsername = null;
private String _httpBasicAuthPassword = null;

If you also want to automate this than there is a CodePlex action that'll possibly come in handy for you.

Replicating ECC 6.0 BP's information into CRM5.0

Hello CRM Gurus,
I want Procedure to how to replicate ECC BP's information into CRM. Is it Possible?If Possible who to do that.
Thanks,
Feroz.

Hi Feroz,
There are two types of Customer Master Date in R/3:
a) the traditional customer date stored in the tables KNA1, KNVV etc. in R/3
b) the new BP customer data in ECC, stored in the tables BUT000 etc. in R/3. This is also used in some industry solutions such as IS-M.
If I understand correctly, you want to load the second type that is stored in tables BUT00 etc.
For the variety a), you need to use the object CUSTOMER_MAIN for the load from R/3 to CRM.
For the variety b), you need to use the object BUPA_MAIN for the load R/3 to CRM.
I have not seen any detailed documentation on the second variety yet, but the Best Practice: mySAP CRM Initial Download Configuration Guide (you can find it in the service Marketplace) at least briefly describes when to use which object.
Best regards,
Lorna
