Replication of Partner Function from CRM 5 to ECC6 Issue

Hi experts
Is someone able to assist with pointing me in the correct direction to resolve a partner function replication issue please. We create all entities/BPs in CRM, and replicate them to ECC.
We have a custom partner function, ZF, that is held against Payer and Sold-to in ECC. This is a separate entity in CRM, but is sent according to relationship assignment to ECC. We have noticed that this partner function is not being updated correctly.
Scenarios:
Ending a relationship between Account/Customer (Payer/sold-to in ECC) and the Farm (ZF partner function) - the ZF partner function is removed in ECC. This is correct behaviour.
New Account or Customer creation in ECC with ZF relationship assigned, ZF partner function is being created in ECC. This is correct behaviour.
HOWEVER, when adding a new ZF relationship in CRM to an existing Payer/Sold-to, the ZF partner function does not get created in ECC. This is incorrect behaviour - new valid relationship should trigger ZF partner function in ECC.
Also, name changes to the ZF maintained in CRM, is not being updated in ECC for existing relationships. Instead, the Partner Function tab, ZF type, displays the old name for the Farm.
BUPAREL bdocs are being created and sent to ECC, however something is happening on the receiver end. How do we trace this, and does anyone have any ideas on where to start to find out what is happening here?
Many thanks
Cara

Solved, internal issue usage tab not being completed correctly so not assigning partner function

1. Create the partner function in ECC
2. Assign the partner function to the relevant partner procedure in ECC
3. Create a partner function in CRM
4. Map the partner function as follows:
Customer Relationship Management
--> Basic Functions

Replication of partner function from ECC to CRM

Hi experts,
We are working on CRM 5.0 with back end ECC 6.0
In our scenario we are creating sales orders in ECC and replicating it to CRM.
Now the problem is we have a partner function created in ECC which is entered manually ( not through partner determination procedure) . We have also created the same partner function in CRM but we are not able to populate that partner function field automatically.
Is there any way by which we can populate this ?
Points will be rewarded for suitable solution.

Madhu

hi
just mainatining partner function wont be enough ,you need to do two things
1. mapping of BP function between CRM and ECC
2. specify the path from ECC to CRM so that they can be replicated successfully
so,IMG: Customer Relationship Management -> Basic Functions -> Partner Processing -> Data Transfer -> Distribution of Partner Functions from SAP ECC into CRM
this is the path where in distribution you need to specify the path
and maintain there the mapping between the R3 and CRM
RFC destination should be CRM and source is ECC

Hi,
by IDOCs of course
you can create them just like I did:
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2006/11/14/xipi-data-type-enhancements-standard-business-partner
(you jut need to change from proxy to ALE - another module)
but bisically it's a standard to generate

Call partner function from ship to party

Dear Gurus,
I have two account group A and B, A contain the partner function of SP, SH, BP and PY, and B account group having function of ship to party, bill to party and payer.
In configuration i have made the settings.
At sales order level i enter the sold to party and if enter different ship to party in the next field system call the BP and PY from Ship to party master record. that is as per requirement.
But if i presss enter after entering the sold to party no system call all the function from sold to party, and then if i change the ship to party system only change the ship to party but not again determine the BP and PY partner function from ship to party.
Kindy suggest the possibe solution so that system again the redetermine the bill to party and payer function.
Looking for the gurus response.
Regards,

Hi,
In your partner partner procedure against partner function BP or PY enter source as SH then system will determine this to functions on basis of Ship to party
Or else either you can not maintain other partner functions in sold to party master means you can take all partners from ship to
Or else manually put ship to party immediate after sold to party and then enter
Or else check any user exit available for re-determination of partner
Note : First option will definitely work, try

Problem in passing customer Partner Functions from ECC to CRM

Hi to all, I am facing the following error in the crm system
1.Partner 0000080059(DCEAB7AC31DA22F1B7CE001372368B21): the following errors occurred
Message no. BUPA_MW_EXCHANGE010
2.Status exists already for this business partner
Message no. CRM_BUPA_FRG0050012
3.Validation error occurred: Module CRM_BUPA_MAIN_VAL, BDoc type BUPA_MAIN.
Message no. SMW3018
My scenario in ECC is: I use a custom BTE copy of VMD_VENDOR_BTE_1421_IMPL which is executed when I save a new vendor. In this BTE I use the FM SD_CUSTOMER_MAINTAIN_ALL to create a customer with the same attributes as the vendor, because only customer informations (not vendor informations) pass as Business Partners in CRM. The problem is that when I pass only master datas to the FM SD_CUSTOMER_MAINTAIN_ALL, the customer passes to CRM as a Business Partner with the same number, but when I pass also Partner Functions to FM SD_CUSTOMER_MAINTAIN_ALL, no Business Partner is created in CRM, and the error I get is that up.
What can I do?
Thank you very much,
Antonio

Hola Antonio,
I have a same problem.
You can tell me the solution.
Please.

Replication of Z table from CRM to R/3 - No mBDoc Created

I need to transfer the contents of a bespoke customer table from CRM into R/3, off the back of delta changes being made to the CRM table. To help us to achieve this we have performed the following steps so far:
1. Created the customer table in both systems.
2. Created a new messaging BDoc in CRM and linked it to the R/3 Site Type.
3. Created a new mapping module in CRM that takes the data from the BDoc and maps it to the BAPI structure.
4. Created a new Adapter Object that links to my BDoc, contains the new customer table as the source table in CRM and contains the mapping Module mentioned above.
5. Created a new Replication Object based on my new BDoc.
6. Created a new Publication and assigned it to the Replication Object.
7. Created a new Subscription and assigned to the Publication and Replication Object. Also assigned it to my R/3 site.
On the R/3 side we have created a mapping module to map the data from the BAPI structure into the equivalent R/3 table. We also have an entry in table CRMSUBTAB.
However when I insert an entry in the customer table in CRM no BDoc is being created. In fact I cannot see anything at all in the system that indicates that it has even tried to capture the change and invoke the Middleware process.
What am I doing wrong?
Do I need anything else (some sort of delta program?) that picks up the parameters from the table update and feed them into my process? The literature that I have found (and it is not much) does not mention anything like this though.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is now a very urgent requirement.
Regards
Ian

Ian,
I do expected the follow up questions. Check my explanation below and hope it will answer your queries:
1. I assume all of the activities performed to date are still valid to supplement your solution, e.g. the BDoc, Replication Object, Publication and Subscription details?
2. The R/3 to CRM Mapping Module. Is this required to allow messages to be sent back from R/3 to update the BDoc, e.g. a sort of validation to prove that the posting has completed ok?
FM ZMAP_BAPIMTCS_TO_MBDOC in CRM, to map the BAPIMTCS format data and build the BDoc. This BAPIMTCS format is a temporary one and is not the final data format, that is taken to ECC. This function module also takes care of receiving the response message from ECC, once the BDoc data reaches and updates in ECC. If there is any error occured during the updation, it is captured in the error table of the BDoc and the status of BDoc is set to 'Error'. If no error occurs, the status of BDoc is set to 'Confirmed'.
3. The Extractor Module in CRM. Does this get the data out of the table and will it work for deltas?
Yes , It should work for Delta too.The delta load makes use of the same program and flow for Initial load (SMOF_DOWNLOAD)
4. CRMSUBTAB in CRM. I knew that we populated this in R/3, I did not realise we would need it in CRM as I assumed it was R/3 specific.
5. You list the sequences of FM calls at the end. I was confused in the order. As we are initiating data to be sent from CRM to R/3 should some of these be in the reverse order, e.g. ZMAP_MBDOC_TO BAPIMTCS would be called before ZMAPBAPIMTCS_TO_MBOC as would pass data into the BDoc to send it to R/3 before we then received an update message back?
Step 1: Z_EXTRACT_MODULE will be called.( It calles ZPICK_DATA_FROM_CRM). This function module calls the standard function module CRS_SEND_TO_SERVER the one triggers the other function modules
Setp 2: Creat function module ZDATA_TO_BAPIMTCS(missed to mention earlier) in CRM, to map the data in the final internal table to BAPIMTCS format. This format is temporary and will be used to build the BDoc data.
Step 3: Created function module ZMAP_BAPIMTCS_TO_MBDOC in CRM, to map the BAPIMTCS format data and build the BDoc. This BAPIMTCS format is a temporary one and is not the final data format, that is taken to ECC. This function module also takes care of receiving the response message from ECC, once the BDoc data reaches and updates in ECC. If there is any error occured during the updation, it is captured in the error table of the BDoc and the status of BDoc is set to 'Error'. If no error occurs, the status of BDoc is set to 'Confirmed'
Step 4: Created function module ZMAP_MBDOC_TO_BAPIMTCS in CRM, to build the final BAPIMTCS structure from the BDOC. This BAPIMTCS is the final data structure that goes to ECC. The table name, objectkey, relkey that is relevant for the BAPIMTCS, is filled in this function module..
Step 5: Created function module Z_LOAD_PROXY_FINAL in ECC, to receive the data from CRM. The BAPIMTCS data is received and mapped to local internal tables and then updates to custom tables through the function module Z_UPDATE_ECC. The errors if any are captured in this function module and returned back to CRM using the standard function module CRS_SEND_TO_SERVER.
To reduce the load on the interface, at the final stage, it was decided to fetch the data completely in ECC. So the incoming data from CRM is ignored and is fetched completely from ECC tables.
6. Is there a test FM available for the extract, e.g. is CRM_SAMPLE_EXTRACT_MODULE the one to copy?
No, You have to develop this Extractor FM say ZPICK_DATA_FROM_CRM and should be called in Z_EXTRACT_MODULE.
Apologize for any spelling errors, as I too running to meeting.
Update me the status.

Prevent replication of Contact Person from CRM to ERP

Hello,
we replicate business partner with role "Solt-to Party" from CRM to ERP.
But we want to prevent that the contact person of the Sold-tp Party is relicated too.
How we can realize this?
Thanks for help

Hello,
I have changed both objects (BUPA_MAIN / BUPA_REL) to Simple intelligent (msg). But in BUPA_REL you can only filter on BPARTNER.
In the scenario we need BUPA_REL for the replication of Employee responsible.
Thanks and regards

How do replicate the contact person to ERP partner fuction from CRM

All experts,
I already replicated contact person from CRM to ERP,but the contact person just appeared in tab contact person in ERP customer general data.
Actually,when i created contact person relationship in CRM,i could assgin contact person to a salse area,so I want to replicate contact person to tab partner fuction in customer sales area data in ERP. pls give me a light. thks
Raymond J

Hi Raymond,
I believe the contact person in question is assigned only as a partner function in R/3. Therefore you will only see the usage of that BP as a partner function, but not the relationship specific data.
You will need to create a contact person relationship for the BP.
So the relationship specific data will not be visible for a contact person in R/3 which is only assigned as a Partner Function in R/3.
Can you please check this on your system?
I hope this helps.
Best regards,
Ita

New Partner Function in CRM (Solution Manager Service Desk)

Hi CRM Gurus!,
Even if this problem is present in my Solution Manager Service Desk I'm creating this thread here in CRM Forum because I thin'k I need the experience of one CRM Expert. Í´ve created this question in Solution Manager Forum also but I hadn´t solved my problem yet.
We add the partner function called "Additional Partner", but I don't know why in the tab "Partners" in the CRM transaction we want to add a new partner but in the partners combo the new one does not appear in the list.
The procedure that I did was: I created a new business partner function and I added this new function to my partner determination procedure, then in SPRO: "Define Partner Determination Procedures" -> I set the option "Only Functions Assigned in Procedure".
These are the values. fro my new function:
Function: ZSLFN004
Text: Additional Processor
Abbrev.: ZAMS
Function Cat.: 0008 Person Responsible
Usage: CRM Customer Relationship Managem.
Relatshp Cat: CRMH06 Is Responsible BP For
The partner functions in my procedure are:
00000001 Sold-To Party (CRM)
00000046 Approved by (CRM)
SLFN0001 System Administrator (CRM)
SLFN0002 Reported by (CRM)
SLFN0003 Support Team (CRM)
SLFN0004 Message Processor (CRM)
ZSLFN004 Additional Processor (CRM)
But in the transactions when I try to add a new partner in the partners tab only the follow functions appears in the combo:
00000001 Sold-To Party (CRM)
00000046 Approved by (CRM)
SLFN0001 System Administrator (CRM)
SLFN0002 Reported by (CRM)
SLFN0003 Support Team (CRM)
SLFN0004 Message Processor (CRM)
I don't know why my ZSLFN004 is not listed in the combo.
By the way, my function was created as a copy of SLFN0004.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
Gustavo Balboa

Hi Vishant,
Thanks for your answer, but some one in the Solution Manager forum gave me the answer few minutes ago :). The problem was that in some transaction types (I don't know wich ones or if it aplies to all) the category 0008 - Person Responsible can only appear once, my partner function was a copy of the function SLFN0004 - Message Processor and that function is defined with the category 0008, so I had 2 partner functions defined in the category 0008.
To solve the problem I just adjust my Z function and put the category 0016 - Service Team and let the relationship empty. Then the partner function is now showing in the combo at partners tab.
Again, thanks anyway for the time that you take to answer my question.
Regards
Gustavo Balboa

Replication of Custom Fields from CRM to ISU and Vice versa

Hi Experts,
We are working on adding Z fields on BP level. For this how does the replication of the values takes place from CRM to ISU or vice versa. What are the middleware enhancement we need to do in CRM side or in the ISU side. We would add the fields on web UI crm side by AET but at ISU side how we need to do that and how would the field values replicate in both the system.
A approach for adding BP custom fields in CRM and its interaction with ISU and vice versa would be appriciated.
Thanks,
Mayur

Excuse, you may enter more in detail?
I have created a custom field on BP using the AET would now like to replicate this custom field in BP also in ISU.
I can do all this using the EEWB, but I would avoid it, since, in ISU we already have custom fields on BP, I just can not link them with CRM.

Replication of Sales contract from CRM to R/3

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement of replicating the created sales contract in CRM to the R/3 system through Middleware in 2007. In the standard way replication of R/3 contract to CRM is only possible. Here the BDOC used in BUS_TRANSACTION_MESSAGE and there is no mapping modules present for CRM to R/3.
Is it wise to create a custom adapter and use the fm CRM_BUS_MESSAGE_R3_UPLOAD_SRV as the mapping module and enhance the BADI CRM_BUS20001_R3A?
Please throw me some light on how to proceed with the development.
Yours answers are greately appreciated!!
Regards,
Suthagar.

Hi Kai,
Its the normal sales contract with the Pricing aggreements. In SAP help, I found a note saying Note that you cannot download CRM contracts to the SAP ECC system
please find the link [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm60/helpdata/en/7a/e486398dcfd74fe10000000a11402f/frameset.htm], the note can be found in Data exchange for sales contract under the Sales contracts.
Also on the transaction R3AC1 with the sales contract type, the mapping from CRM to R/3 is blank.
If it is possbile to replicate from CRM to R/3, please let me know the steps to acheive it.
Thanks for your help.

Suthagar.

Replication of Enhanced Products from CRM to R/3

Hi,
I have downloaded the R/3 Material from R/3 to CRM.
Now I have made changes in that product in CRM i.e I have added some attributes in CRM Product Master.
Now,Is it possible to replicate that enhanced product from CRM back to R/3.
If yes,Can you please explain me as to how I do it in Middleware???
Very Urgent
Regards
Puneet

Hi,
CRM to R/3 replication is not possible for products but only for IBASES. you will have to enhance the material master in ECC and then replicate the custom data to CRM in enhanced fields. that is possible but from CRM to ECC i am afraid is not !
Thanks
