Transfer partner functions to COPA

Hi all:
We need to transfer a own partner function to COPA. We have followed steps as note 36557 explains. Now, our operating concern has a partner function as a new characteristic (created from structure PAPARTNER). However, the system is not derivating this partner function when I create sales order or invoices.
Thanks in advance for your help
Best regards
Jose

Partner Function in COPA

Hi All,
Can any one help me in defining the Partner funtion from Sales Oder in to COPA. I m trying to use the VBPA table for defining characteristic but its saying " enter a valid reference SAP table". Any lead on this ? Do i have to derive these function from other tables and write a derivation rule ?
Thanks
MKR

Hi MKR,
I am going to try to summarize the basic steps to add one or
more new partner function(s). For more detailed information
please see the notes 36557, 32878, 12682 and 93658 although some o
these notes are known for you.
Add new domain/data element for the new partner function in the
ABAP/4 Data Dictionary.
Examples are the data elements KUNAG, KUNWE, KUNRE, KUNRG,
SPDNR, and VRTNR in structure MCPARTNER. This is where the
partner functions for the Standard Sales Information System are
defined.
Save the new partner field in structure MCPARTUSR (user part of
structure MCPARTNER) or, if available extend structure
MCPARTUSR by an append structure (ZAMCPARTUS).
Make sure that the check tables and foreign key relationships are
maintained for the new fields in structure MCPARTUSR
Define the assignment of partner function < > new partner
field in the communication structure.
Program RMCSUZ10, routine USR_PARTNER_GET.
Add the line as in the example of note 12682 given.
Include the corresponding field via transaction 'KEA0' from the
structure PAPARTNER into the Profitability Analysis data structures
If your new partnerrole is a representative/sales employee please apply note 32878.
Should you have implemented note 43002 (to prevent a field overflow
in pricing) please follow note 93658 and use userexit
userexit_pricing_prepare_tkomp instead of
userexit_pricing_prepare_tkomk.
userexit_pricing_prepare_tkomp is contained in Include MV45AFZZ
(sales order) and RV60AFZZ (billing)
Add the new field to the structure 'KOMPAZ' as in note 93658
described and NOT to the structure 'KOMKAZ' (note 36557)
(you have used both structures)
Generate the operating concern and check if the following entries
are included in TKEZU:
Charact. BTran Table      Field name Offset Length
XXXXX     SD00   KEDR       YYYYY
XXXXX     SDIN   KEDR       YYYYY
XXXXX     SDOR KEDR       YYYYY
XXXXX = Field name of the partner function in the profitability
analysis
YYYYY = Field name of the partner function in structure KOMP
(these entries should be made automatically here).
If you need more than one partner function please repeat the
steps as described above for your need.

Abhisek

PO: Transfer Partner Function to R/3

Hi all
I'm workin on SRM 5.0 ECS.
I'm able to create a PO and it is replicated to backend. But the partner function aren't replicated.
I have to do some custom with badi or some customizing check?
thanks
enzo

Hello,
Please check SAP note:- 1031141.
SRM does not have support replication of ordering address in the way
you would like to see it.
As you have already noticed that the ordering addresses are replicated
as different BP's you will have to chose the corresponding bp in the
PO creation.
Also I observed the PO allows only selection of vendor and will pick
the corresponding address of the BP as ordering address, PO does not
have the privilege of selecting the ordering address for the vendor.
sorry but this is a limitation from SRM perspective.
I hope this helps.
regards,
Gaurav

How to add a new partner function as a characteristics in COPA

Hi There,
Can you help please.
I am trying to add an existing SD partner function called End Customer as a characteristic in CO-PA. End Customer is not defined in the CO-PA PAPARTNER structure.
1 Sold To Party can have more than 1 End Customers. In such cases, during sales order creation, users will be prompted to select the End Customers. I need to extract the End Customer information into CO-PA as what is being specified on the sales order.
Appreciate if anyone can shed some light on this..
Many thanks in advance...
Cheers
HW.

Hi Warwick,
I've had a look at the SAP.Help Library - i am ok with the steps of adding the characteristics into COPA, no problems on this step.
My question was around adding a partner function into a PA structure - PAPARTNER. The End Customer is not defined in the PAPARTNER structure - hence, I cant easily create a new characteristic using the transfer from SAP table or derivation rules.
I need to find a way to extract the End Customers from the sales document, add that into the PAPARTNER structure and then create a new characteristics referencing that table.
I've been looking at OSS 32878, 36557 and 12682 - and am slightly confused.
Has anyone tried this before?
The system is ECC 6.0.
Thanks
Cheers
HW

Partner functionality in release order

Dear Gurus,
I have created a contract with partner functionality.
I created a Purchase Requisition referring contract (Using source of supply). I need to create Po in ME21N by adopting PR. System copies all the other details but not partner details. I need to enter partner details manually in PO.
But When I create a PO in ME21N by adopting the same contract, partner details are automatically copied from contract.
Please suggest me what should I do If my PO should copy partner details of contract (while creating PO adopting PR)
Regards,
Sastry

i hope , if u have created the vendor master , then PO will take all details of partner form vnedor master .
SO check the which details u are updating manually, the same as its maintained in master data or not.
IF not maintain it in vendor master .

Use of business partner functionality in combination with dual control

Is there a generally agreed upon procedure to use the business partner functionality in combination with dual control? The problem is that when you block a business partner, the customer/ vendor master data aren't blocked automatically. You can then still use them in transactions, which leads to problems.
So is there a way to make this work or a procedure to do this?
Niels Vanwingh

Thanks Masa,
I did notice the 'Add external supplier from' in create supplier or bidder option. However there is a small catch and your experience may help.
Let me explain the requirement and scenario here in SRM 7.
We are implementing the Registration of Supplier scenario; both ROS and SRM are in same client. When a potential supplier registers themselves in the registration system, a BP number is created (an Internal number range is defined for this). After accepting the potential supplier in pre-select screen the purchaser has two options to transfer the potential supplier from the ROS system to SRM
Option 1: He can select the accepted potential supplier from the supplier directory option and transfer the business partner to SRM. In this case the business partner number of the potential supplier is retained in SRM and a business partner with supplier and bidder tag is created. However the purchaser does not have any option to select which type of business partner he would like to create like supplier or bidder.
Option 2: Purchase can go to create supplier or bidder option and choose the u2018Add external supplier formu2019 from the ROS system and create the business partner. The ROS business partner details are copied to the create supplier screen, but the purchaser have to provide an external business partner number for the supplier. This is because we have defined external number range for business partner for the vendors that are replicated from ERP to SRM.
Objective is the ROS business partner should be retained in SRM with option to create as supplier and bidder and then manually create ERP supplier with same SRM BP number and map against SRM supplier.
Is there any way we can achieve this?
In SRM 5.5 with Manage business partner functionality we could achieve as system give us the option which business partner type we would like to create as well as retains the ROS BP number in SRM.

Sandeep

In CRM relationship appends the Changed partner function in R/3 -Middleware

Hi Experts,
Partner functions in R/3 are mapped as relationship categories in CRM and the transfer is happening through middleware.
However if I change the BP for an existing partner function in R/3, it is not changing the BP in corresponding relationship in CRM.Instead it is adding a new relationship category.
Currently we are in CRM2007(6.0 version).
Ex.
- An account in R/3 has a partner function "Sold to Party" as BP Id "01234". This does create a relationship category in CRM "has sold to party" with BP Id 01234. -- it is working fine.
- Later if I "change" the BP id 01234 to a new BP Id "05678" in R/3 for Sold to Party partner function, it does not update the relationship category in CRM. Instead it adds a new relationship category for "Sold to Party" with BP Id 05678. This is issue now.
We dont want to create a new relationship, instead we would like to update the relationship for new BP Id.
If anyone has any any clue how to resolve this, please share your thoughts. It is a very critical requirement.
Appreciate your help on this.

Hi Shourav,
Thanks for your reaply. I agree with you for the general scenario. But my question is littlebit different what you understand.
I try to explain little bit detail this time.. Hope you undrstood my issue.
We are facing issue in partner relationship deletion functionality from ECC to CRM.
Issue: Partner functions in R/3 are mapped as relationship categories in CRM and the transfer is happening through middleware.
However if I change the BP for an existing partner function in R/3, it is not changing the BP in corresponding relationship in CRM. Instead it is adding a new relationship category.
Ex.
- An account in R/3 has a partner function "Sold to Party" as BP Id "01234" and a partner function relationship as ship to party with BP id u201C05678u201D and it is replicating this relationship correctly in CRM .
- Later if I "change" the BP id 05678 to a new BP Id "05679" in R/3 for Sold to Party partner function, it does not update the relationship category in CRM. Instead it adds a new relationship category for "Sold to Party" with BP Id 05679. This is issue now.
Any notes or work around solution for this issue is helpfull.

A new partner function is been defined for a particular customer in r/3?

Hi All,
There is a new partner functions been defined for a customer apart from soldto,shipto,payer,billtoparty partner functions.
The new partner functions is Sales head.
And how to i bring the sales head information from the customer master from r/3 to bw?
Do i need to create a new zobject nor enhance the customer master ? nor simply create an sales head object in bw and define the characteristics as Reference characteristics??
pls help me !!
Thanks
Pooja

Hi,
You should enhance the standard Data source 0customer_attr with that additional partner function (sales head) as per the proper logic and replicate the same . if it is 3.5 that same object( related to that field length and data type) same object can be added as attribute at info object level and do the transfer rules and activate that and try to the load.

Partner function replecation from CRM to R/3

Hi ,
Can any one tell me whats the Object to replecate Partner functions from CRM to R/3
Thanks in Advance.
Shaan

Hi,
if you mean the customizing: the setup of partner functions on the R/3 & CRM system needs to be done seperately.
--> in CRM, the partner functions are dependent on relationships.
if you mean transfer the data: object/bdoc bupa_rel is used to transfer data between CRM & R/3.

R/3 Partner Function missing in CRM

Hi Guys,
There is partner function in R/3 called SR (Material safety sheet reciepient). This partner function is assigned as mandatory in R/3 while creating customers in R/3.
However in the CRM system there in Role similar to that one. How do I get around this issue. Even if i create a new role how will I link this new role to the R/3 partner function?
Ani

Hi Ani,
You need to map R/3 Partner funtion to CRM partner funtion and vica versa.
Please perform the partner funtion data transfer settings as below
In IMG settings,
Customer Relationship Management>Basic Functions>Partner Processing-->
Data Transfer
Here in you have two mappings to be done
1) Distribution of Partner Functions from SAP ECC into CRM
2)Distribution of Partner Functions from CRM into SAP ECC
Please read the help associated to IMG to get the clear picture.
And see the example for mapping of partner funtion 'Sold-to-Party'
i.e partner funtion in R/3: 'AG'
and Partner funtion '00000001' in CRM

Middleware: Changed partner function in R/3, appends relationship in CRM

Hi Group
Partner functions in R/3 are mapped as relationship categories in CRM and the transfer is happening through middleware.
However if I change the BP for an existing partner function in R/3, it is not changing the BP in corresponding relationship in CRM.Instead it is adding a new relationship category.
Ex.
- An account in R/3 has a partner function "Sold to Party" as BP Id "1234". This does create a relationship category in CRM "has sold to party" with BP Id 124. -- Works fine. No issues.-
- Later if I "change" the BP id 1234 to a new BP Id "5678" in R/3 for Sold to Party partner function, it does not update the relationship category in CRM. Instead it adds a new relationship category for "Sold to Party" with BP Id 5678. ISSUE.
We dont want to create a new relationship, instead we would like to update the relationship for new BP Id.
If anyone has any any clue how to resolve this, please share your thoughts. It is a very critical requirement.
Answer will be suitably rewarded with points.

Hi Michael,
Thanks for asking . This Dinesh ( Vishal's colleague ) ..We found that the Dumps are because of the implmentation of the SAP Note 497146 which provides a enhancement to the existing FM BUPA_MWX_BDOC_MAP_REL_CENTRAL . This is throwing the short dump.

Partner functions (R/3- CRM) based on employee number (KNVP-PERNR) or CP

Hi all gurus,
I am trying to replicate an partner-function base on personnel number/employee number for customers from R/3 to CRM.
For those partner-functions only the employee number is filled in KNVP-PERNR (the KNVP-KUNN2, KNVP-LIFNR and KNVP-PARNR are empty).
If I follow the replication process I don't see the employee number getting mapped to the "bapimtcs structure" (in function module COM_BUPA_MWX_CREATE_REL) and therefore those partnerfunctions are not replicated to CRM.
(all employees are entered in HR-R/3 and downloaded to CRM as business partners)
Basically this is exatly the same situation described in the following forum:
[Replicate partner functions (R/3->CRM) base on employee number (KNVP-PERNR) |Replicate partner functions (R/3->CRM) base on employee number (KNVP-PERNR)]
What (function modules/configuration) is necessary to get those partner-functions being replicated to CRM?
Unfortunately I was pretty unable to collect valid solution track.
Thanks in advance,
AndreA

Hi Andrea,
We were able to solve the exact same issue.
Here are steps used by us to fix the issue :
IMG Settings in CRM :
SPRO>CRM>Basic Functions>Partner Processing> Date Transfer>Distribution of Partner Functions from SAP ECC into CRM>
Partner Function = VE
Funciton = Employee Responsible(00000014) ( can be any other partner function which is a employee)
Usage= CRM
Also make sure the following settings are also done
SPRO>CRM>Basic Functions>Partner Processing> Date Transfer-->Distribution of Partner Functions from CRM into SAP ECC
Funciton = Employee Responsible(00000014)
Partner Function Cat = Employee
Scenario = CRM
R/3 func = VE ( even though you are using the PE partner function in ECCwe use VE here as you know VE is the german version of PE)
Type = MR master record
Also make sure that SAP Notes 1020514 and 1099363 have been applied in ECC.
Let me know if you have any issues. This should fix it.
Thanks
