Tips for migrating to SAP CRM (especially relationships)

Hi Guru's
We have created an Idoc interface via the Legacy System Migration Workbench (LSMW) over here for the migration of Business Partners, Business Partner Relationships, Opportunities, Activities and Quotations. We need to migrate data for 12 countries. The first country has about 30.000 Business partners in scope and about 6.000 Opportunities.
Because each country has bought or developed it's own CRM system in the past it is not completely clear yet in which way the data has been arranged in these systems. Migrating the u2018flat & staticu2019 data like names, addresses, phone numbers and so on wonu2019t be that complicated but what about the relationships between mutual Business Partners and the relations between Business Partners and Opportunities for exampleu2026
What if these relationships havenu2019t been maintained in the legacy systems for example? How can we best approach this relationship matter?
Tips & Tricks are welcome!
Thanks and Regards.

if the data is not maintained in the legacy system, then you have two options
- make up the data - if your business requires, then somehow somewhere you need data source
- leave it as it is - fortunately relationship is not mandatory in CRM
hope it helps

  • Guideline Performance Initial Download from SAP for Utility into SAP CRM

    Hello,
    Please find below a link (valid for 10 weeks) to the document Guideline Performance Initial Download from SAP for Utilities into SAP CRM. The document is also published in the SAP Service Market Place at http://service.sap.com/utilities. Then choose Technical Information Center - Migration.

    - Configuration of the initial download
    - Ensure optimum performance for the initial download of the relevant business objects
    - Avoid unnecessary business data being downloaded
    - Monitoring of the initial download and taking corrective actions in case of problems
    - Handle errors occurring during the initial download of business objects
    - Minimize performance bottlenecks
    The document explains the setup and configuration of the SAP for Utilities and SAP CRM systems only if necessary for the understanding of the solution of a described performance problem. This document does not cover the performance optimization of the delta down- and upload and the synchronization download.
    The document has the following structure:
    Chapter 1 describes the basics of an initial download
    Chapter 2 describes how to plan and execute tests to achieve an acceptable performance
    Chapter 3 describes the most important technical activities to prepare the involved systems
    Chapter 4 describes the most important functional activities to prepare the involved system

    Hi Fritz,
    sorry for the late late reply but I didn't notice your answer.
    Here are my answers:
    (1) I monitored the behaviour on the CRM system, CRM 7.0, SP5
    (2) The change should be implemented in the CRM system
    (3) Deactivate buffering for scenarios marketing, sale and service via SM30 and table T770MATTR.
    By doing this the initial load of 3.2 million business agreements took around 2 hours, with activated scenario buffering I was at least ten times slower.
    After the initial load you have to activate the buffering again.
    Interesting to know would be why the scenario buffering only affects the initial load of business agreements and no other object. As far as I know the scenario buffering is relevant for the organizational management.

  • 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,

  • How can we create Versions for Products in SAP CRM

    Hi All,
    We want use Product Versions in our CRM IC Webclient. We want to be able to select a product and then have a list of versions to pick from. Can anyone tell me if they have configured Versions for Products in their SAP CRM system. If yes, then how did you go about it.
    Thanks,
    Ramesh Nallabelli

    Hi Arup and Shanthala,
    Thanks for the prompt responses. Appreciate your help. We want to create Product versions like this: Product: Windows OS Version: 95, 98, XP, Vista, 7, etc.
    When I try to create a configurable product, using the Configuration tab, to create or use a product model I see an error message: PME installation with errors The long text is: The environment variable PME_HOME that includes the PME application has to exist locally in order to start the PME from CRM.
    This indicates the configuration of IPC in our CRM system. This is something that we have not undertaken so far.
    When I use the Poduct Variants tab to create a product variant for a configurable product, I can't edit here. This view opens in a display only mode. After reading some more about this, It looks like variant configuration needs to be used in tandem with ERP variant configuration. There might also be a need to recreate this in the Java configuration engine. We are going to create these products in CRM only, so this might not work for us.
    Regards,
    Ramesh

  • Content Server Migration in SAP CRM 4.0

    Hi,
    we have the following problem:
    We want to migrate old documents from an old content repository to a
    new archive to see them in CRM. How to to this?
    We found the note 1043676 to migrate them, but the note is only for SAP R/3. How to migrate old documents to a new one?

    Hi
    Please locate the boconfig.cfg file e.g. /home/bi4/BI4/setup/boconfig.cfg
    If the file has only a few entries it is most definitely corrupted. Check if the boconfig.cfg_old has more lines, if yes make it boconfig.cfg
    If that still fails:
    - Restore the boconfig.cfg from a backup
    - Copy the boconfig.cfg file from a working BI4 system
    Then restart BI4

  • SAP CRM 7.0 and Enterprise Portal

    Dear SAP Gurus ,
    I have question about the New CRM WEB UI and integration to SAP Enterprise Portal .
    We have been using the SAP Enterprise portal for accesing the SAP CRM functionalities before (eg create Opporutnites and Sales Order ). But with the New SAP version(7.0 and 2007 ) its possible to  have its own portal.
    Now the question is it possible to integrate the NEW SAP WEB UI into the existing portal ? Eg: If we want to have link in Enterprise portal with the Sales Order create functionalyt direlty without going into the stand alone  CRM WEB UI  . Would it be possible to directly call the Sales order service WEB UI in enterprise portal . Right now what we see is that the NEW CRM WEB UI is stand alone and for these type of fuctionalites the user need to login to the NEW web ui and then go to the create sales order screen .
    Is it possible to directly embed the new UI components in the existing SAP enterprise portal ?
    Many Thank for your kind advise !
    Best Regards,
    Ankur

    Ankur,
    Once you have correctly integrated to Portal following the SAP Note, you will no longer see the CRM Navigation. They will be Portal Navigation. If you have read and understood the note, it will be clear. On an overview, let me explain the steps involved.
    1. You create a CRM role (based on some job role) say "Sales Rep" and have configured the CRM Web UI for all the navigation and applications. Like Account maintenance, Opportunities, Sales order create etc. etc.
    2. Following the note and running a CRM transaction, you will now "Export" this CRM role to an external file. This file is very similar to a "business package". All the portal roles, pages, iVeiws etc. get created.
    3. You will now "Import" this into your portal. Again follow the notes to know the loaction.
    4. In the portal, you will assign this "portal role" to your users.
    When these users log on to portal, they will see Portal Navigation (not the CRM navigation). So, the main point lies in defining the CRM role and get it working.
    Hope you get the point....

  • Tips on migration?

    We had some 10.5 mail problems where it stopped working and seems some files are corrupted. So here we are with a snow leopard install disk. I plan to start mail from scratch.
    Are there any tips for migrating ical and collaboration services? I assume web is just a matter of moving the web folder.
    And any issues to import the WGM user list?

    Good luck with that (as I mumble Kerio under my breath)
    Are there any tips for migrating ical and collaboration services? I assume web is just a matter of moving the web folder.
    In theory, you should be able to simply move the files into place. Watch you permissions so use sudo ditto to ensure you maintain uid and gid. You should watch for user IDs as well so everything matches up. Oh, and hostname probably should match for good measure.
    As for web, remember, PHP is still not enabled by default so remember to enable it in the modules tab. WebObjects is no longer their but easily restored and setup. And also, I guess Apple is trying to overcome the performance issues of Leopard, but in my opinion, they set the min spare and max spare values way too high. You can easily cut them in a quarter and get good performance.
    And any issues to import the WGM user list?
    I've seen none. But, remember, if you are doing an export to standard record format from WGM, you will not get passwords. The only way to do that is to archive the ODM and then restore it on the new. For some reason, that give me chills. I would rather force a password reset on first login.
    Hope that helps.

  • [APD]: How to transfer data to SAP CRM?.

    Dear Expert,
    1. Do you know how to transfer data for APD to SAP CRM ??
    2. The one that i know that we can transfer attribute of Business Partner (0BPARTNER) to CRM.
    Can we transfer the data beyond attribute of 0BPARTNER? For example, data from ODS to ZTABLE on SAP CRM..
    I really need your guidance & suggestion.
    Many thanks all for your attention,

    Hi,
    <i>1. EEWB in this case is used to create tables in CRM Systems. So once i've made it (the tables), I can see that tables on BW Systems (particularly when i'm creating transformation).</i>
    Yes you are correct.
    <i>
    2. The procedure that i should make sequently :
    a. [CRM Systems]: Create z-tables through tcode EEWB.
    Btw, do i make tables throught this t-code either in BW System & CRM System ?
    If yes, Should the project name in EEWB for both system has the similar name?
    b. [BW Systems]: Create APD.
    c. [BW Systems]: Create transformation in APD for mapping where you'll see the table created in CRM System.</i>
    a) correct
    You will make tables in CRM system.After the extension creation you can check it in the t-code SE12 in CRM system.
    b)by project name you mean the project you assign to the TR's????
    then it depends upon your system.SInce these are two different systems therfore you should create two different projects in the two systems and assign the projects accordingly.
    c) correct
    <i>An for others,
    i made project in EEWB then i choose the business object is ADS (Analytical Data Storage) .. => Do i correct in choosing the business object there?</i>
    yes.
    Yes this is I think a bug.I faced the same issue many times ... what you can do is try to deselect all the key figures and again select the keys.....this will help sometimes....after trying 2-3 times I think you will learn a way to come out of it:)
    In future need my help ...you are welcome.
    Thanks
