Restrictions in defining customer number in SAP R/3

Hi,
Is it advisable to use the charcter "&" in customer numbers and in business partner naming? Are there any restrictions in characters used for customer numbers (ERP: KNA1-KUNNR).
Thanks

Hi Mike,
As per your requirement, i feel that for ID either you can create a new field say sequence ID in this e-mail addresses table of MDM and thus can syndicate it or can also use ID as key using remote key concept. I mean for this e-mail addresses table, you can set property Key mapping = yes in MDM Console and thus can use this IDs as key for this email address e.g. for massupa@nexus you can save ID as Key.
So during syndication, map this field with target IDOC structure field and I mean Remote Key under e-mail addresses table with IDOC ID target field. In this way you can have correct IDs with their corresponding email addresses.
Kindly let me know if you are looking for something else.
Regards,
Mandeep Saini

Finding Customer number in SAP

Hello,
Like we find the installation number of a SAP system from "Status" or the T-code SM51, is/are there any simillar way to find the customer number of a SAP system from within the SAP system. I know we can find it from the SMP or if its connected to Solman, we can find it from the solution manager system.
But, can we find it within the system?
Thanks in advance
Arun

Hi Sunny,
thanks for the reply! But as I had mentioned before this note again refers to solman. As Anjali had pointed out, I think its not possible. But if there is a way, I'm very curious to findout!
Thanks
Arun

7 character field to purchase order ,customer number

please help
1)
data : kunnr1(7) type c.
data : kunnr like kna1-kunnr.
kunnr1 has only field length 7 and it is of type character.
kunnr is a sap field.
everytime i need to fill the data from the field kunnr1 to sap kunnr and pass to bdc .
suppose kunnr1 = 1930903 ie 7 characters .
and in sap shall i simply copy like this
kunnr = kunnr1. " will this work
or
concatnate '000' kunnr1 to kunnr.
or
any other one .
2)same with the purchase order number.
data : po(7) type c.
dat : bstdk type vbak-bstdk.
po = asdefgr
bsdtk = po
or
concatenate '' po to bsdtk.
if i assign value from po to bsdtk will at end command will work on bstdk?
example
loop at itab into workarea.
at last bsdtk." i need this to work so tell me how to assign the value from po to bsdtk
endloop.

i checked the customer number in sap system,
in the sales order it is stored as 1277494
i checked in vbak table and it is stored as 1277494and rest blank spaces.
i checked in kna1 table , the same kunnr is stored as 0001277494.
why is this difference?
so i need to use the 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT' for kunnr?
I checked for po but that is stored as a charater format and no need to add the leading zeros, is that right?
I used CONVERSION_EXIT_MATN1_INPUT for material do i need to use CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT for material also?
thank you for the solutions given.

Hi,
2 solutions :
- Procedure manually (no SAP) ;

SAP customer number unknown for installation number

Hi There,
We're facing some problems after a reconfiguration of some things in Solution Manager. We have SAP EHP 1 for SAP Solution Manager 7.0. Have made two days ago the installation of the latest SP, but not the kernel yet.

Joao Cesar what you did for solve this problem??? You didn´t mentioned!! You only mentioned that you implemented some notes.. but which ones?!!?

SAP ECO 5.0 B2B: No customer found with customer number

Hello all,
we´re using SAP E-Commerce for ERP 5.0 (SP9) with backend SAP ECC 6.0 EHP4.
We have changed from SU05 to SU01 user concept. All existing SU05 users have been migrated to SU01. In SU01 (under references) for each SAP E-Commerce user the mapping (user <=> sold-to-party) has been set up as described in the online documentation.
For example: SU01-User u2018500070u2019: Tx SU01 under 'references': Obj.type u2018KNA1u2019 with key u2018500070u2019. A corresponding customer master record u2018500070u2019 can be found in the ERP system using transaction VD03.
In the shopping basket maintenance the following error message occurs: u2018No customer found with customer numberu2019.
In our testing system (SAP E-Commerce for ERP 5.0 (SP12) with SAP ECC 6.0 EHP0) everything is working fine. The problem only occurs in the customer ERP system (SAP ECC 6.0 EHP4).
Thanks for your help in advance.
Regards,
AEV

At the code there are some checks for the backend system. A normal ECC 6.0 gives there a version "700" back. If you have an ECC 6.0 with EHP4, that will give an other number back from backend system. I think "701".
At the Source-Code of ecommerce, there is no check for 701... Add that to the sourcecodes and it will work.
Example:
if (r3Release.equals(RFCConstants.REL46C) ||
 r3Release.equals(RFCConstants.REL620) ||
 r3Release.equals(RFCConstants.REL640) ||
 r3Release.equals("701"))
Im not 100% sure about this because i had the same problem in ISA 4.0, not ecommerce 5.0.

Number for bDocs processed per hour in custom interface to SAP CRM from Tibco

Hello Experts,
Could you please let me know the ideal Number for bDocs processed per hour for a interface which has SAP CRM and TIBCO.
The intent is to use to most easy to scale technology for a custom interface to SAP CRM from Tibco .
I did check the forums but was not able to get a definitive answer.
I understand that it is not possible to quantify the exact number of BDocs that can be processed in an hour,but could you please let me know the factors on which it depends.
Regards,
Akash

It depends on type of data you want to process and the size of your hardware. My rule of thumb is that you should be able to do at least 1 BDOC per second in a worst case scenario or 3600 records for a small size system. Keep in mind the biggest bottleneck is the database update/lookup times. A properly sized large system, could do much more volume. Your best bet is put in the desired transactional throughput into the SAP quicksizer and then work with your SAP hardware partner to approriately size your production box.
If you already have hardware for production bought/existing, then find out the current SAPS rating for your hardware and then use the quicksizer to determine the target SAPS needed to meet your requirements.
Take care,
Stephen

Wrong customer number in ORDERS IDoc

Hello gurus,
we are trying to send MM orders from one of our company codes to another one (same system, same client).
The ORDERS IDoc is sent without error, but the we get an error message on the inbound side:
VKORG, VTWEG, SPART cannot be determined for customer 0000569630, vendor 0020011961
Message no. VG204
Diagnosis
No sales organization, distribution channel or division were sent to the IDOC. This data is necessary if a sales order is to be added automatically. If this data is unavailable, you cannot create a sales order document.
Procedure
If data on the sales organization, distribution channel and division have not been entered in the IDOC, it must be determined using a user exit defined in the program.
The thing is, the customer does not have the number 569630 in our system! Still the number is in the E1EDKA1 AG segment in PARTN. The vendor number is correct.
Where does this strange customer number come from?
Cheers
Alicia

hi,
you have three possibilities to determine the organizational data in SD
during the EDI inbound process.
The first possibility is to send these fields in the Idoc-Segment
E1EDK14 (Qualifier 006 - division, Qualifier 007 - distribution chanel,
Qualifier 008 - sales organization, Qualifier 010 - sales group,
Qualifier 012 - ordertype, Qualifier 016 - Sales office)
The second possibility to determine is table EDSDC. In this table You
can make table entries for sales organization, distribution chanel and
division per customer and vendor. You need an sold-to party and a
E1EDKA1 segment with an filled vendor in field E1EDKA1-LIFNR.
(transaction VOE2). Please check these settings.
The third possibility is to fill it in the IDOC_INPUT_ORDERS user-exits.
For error analyis, see SAP note 380603

Customer Master data creation with customized number range

Dear all,
Can somebody know how to create the customized number range for customers like first 2 digits represents Sales organization and next 2 digit should represent circle,next 2 distribution chaneel and last 4 digits shold be the running number.
Looking for solution..
Thanks & Regards,
Murali.

Hi,
In your case you need to define as following
Step No: 01.
01.Sales Orgination with 0001 to 0099.
02.Regions with 00 to 99.
03.Distribustion Channel with 00 to 99
Step No:02.
Define PDP with the diffrent account groups defined for diffrent Sales Org, Regions & DC's.
Step : No: 03.
As per the above configs go to TCode for Number range for accounts groups in XDN1. Say Example as
XX--- From:1010100000 to: 1010109999. Note the possiable numbers are 0000 to 9999 only.
10 is sales Org, 10 is Region & 10 is DC's.
This is one of the way to do. The other way is to develo Z table and to use the user exit / new progarme to identify the requried number range with reference to Sales Org, Regions & DC's
Hope this is fine with your requrment.
Bye & enjoy SAP.
Koganti.

How to set customer number

Hello all,
I upgraded a solman from 3.2 to 4.0 SP15 and now I'm facing a problem when I try to confirm files in download basket.
I get this error message : No customer numbers in transaction AISUSER
In transaction AISUSER, i'm not able to select a customer number.
How can i define it ?
Thanks in advance,

Hi Alexandre,
Here is the documentation from SPRO:
Assign S-user for SAP Support Portal functionality
    Use
    You must assign an SAP Support Portal contact to Solution Manager users
    who will communicate with the SAP Support Portal via Service Desk RFC
    destination SAP-OSS. The contact is the S user in SAP Support Portal
    without 'S'. An S user is a user ID for the SAP Support Portal. You can
    get your user ID for the SAP Support Portal via www.service.sap.com.
    Requirements
    You need maintenance authorization for authorization group AISU for this
    activity (authorization object S_TABU_DIS). The role SAP_SUPPDESK_ADMIN
    has this authorization.
    Activities
    1. Enter a Solution Manager user in field User.
    2. Assign an SAP Support Portal (S user without S), in the field
        Contact.
    For S user authorization requirements, see the SAP Solution Manager 4.0
    Configuration Guide.

Customer number range

Hi
I have following requirment in customer number range,
While doing conversion from legacy to SAP, Sold to number is 1234 and bill to number is B1234, how can we do this, are there any user exit for this. let me know the solution please
regards
Satish

Hi,
suggestion -1
I guess in standard SAP its not Possible,
Actually the internal number are assigned through Number Range Objects defined through tcodes SNRO and SNUM.
You have to change the number range assignments SNUM, but remember these number ranges defined are not transportable. They have to manually defined in each client/system.
Check transaction VN01
suggestion -2
Even if I would not recommend that you implement such process, you can still have a look to BAdI CUSTOMER_ADD_DATA.
There is a method to implement your own numbering.

Raj

Unable to display customs document in SAP GTS

Hello,
I am using SAP GTS 7.2 Compliance services. SPL and Embargo services are working well (I am not using License determination).
Indeed, when I save a sales order in ERP, it is effectively checked for compliance, as I receive a message when it is blocked by GTS..
In GTS, I can check that concerning business partners are effectively blocked, using:
"Display Blocked Business Partners" and "Display Business Partners with Embargo Situation".
But I cannot display any customs document in SAP GTS, using transaction /SAPSLL/CUHD_DISPLAY (Display all documents) or SAPSLL/CON_BLOCKED_DOCS_EXP (Display blocked documents).
I get the following error message "No data was found for the selection criteria specified".
As I understood, SAP GTS performs the compliance checks not on ERP documents but on corresponding GTS customs document. Thus I guess they are effectively created somewhere! If it was not the case, I guess the process should not work.
When I look in the audit trail of SPL for documents, I can see all the SPL checks that have been performed. Looking in the corresponding table "/SAPSLL/SPLAUD", I can even find the numbers of the different customs documents...
But there is nothing in table "/SAPSLL/CUHD", where they should be copied... The only entries I found concern biling documents that were transferred for customs purposes...
Could you please help me on this matter?
Many thanks,

Hi Sameer,
Thank you for your fast answer. I checked in the debug mode creating a breakpoint at statement RFC and it effectively stops at RFC /SAPSLL/API_6800_SYNCH.
But when I check the log in transaction SLG1, nothing appears concerning /SAPSLL/API_6800_SYNCH.
I think the customs document is effectively created in GTS as I can see it has a number assigned in the audit trail for SPL screening. And compliance services work.
Though when going through the transaction of displaying all documents in GTS there is nothing. Table "/SAPSLL/CUHD" is empty (except some billing documents that were transferred for customs purposes).
This is really weird... Anyway, thank you for your help.
Kind Regards,
